    Summary

    Amid intrigue and betrayal, the future of the kingdoms of Akielos and Vere is at stake. In Arles, relations with the Empress of Vask and the King of Patras seem to deteriorate. Damen and Laurent must meet with some people from their past to find out who the kingdom's usurpers acting under the Regent's orders are, and entrust them with an important mission.

    Meanwhile, the Kings of Akielos and Vere must piece together a puzzle from the past and strengthen their romantic relationship and trust in the face of new challenges.

    Will they overcome the difficulties of their reign and live the dream they idealized?
    Don't miss the second and final book in this electrifying story.

    Longfic, which takes place after the events of the trilogy of The Captive Prince and The Summer Palace and other stories, and covers the period of the reign of Damianos of Akielos and Laurent of Vere.

    **Disclaimer:

    Some sensitive and triggering themes are present in the original trilogy Captive Prince, and some of those sensitive themes may be present here, though the fanfic is in no way intended to naturalize or endorse the indefensible.

    Summary

    — Ти виглядаєш стривоженим та задуманим останні кілька днів. Що відбувається, Лоране? — можливо, король Веру недооцінив розумові здібності Дамена, як той зміг помітити його приховану тривогу.

    — Ні, лише думки. — Лоран потягнув руки вище, щоб обійняти груду м'язів над ним. Слова звилися у міцний клубок у гортані й навіть промовити щось здавалося непосильною задачею. Дамен знав його надто добре, аби упустити це із виду і Лоран хотів би ненавидіти цей факт. Але не міг. — Я просто розмірковую над словами Йокасти у її передсмертній записці.

    Summary

    The bells have rung. Akielos is Damen's and Vere is Laurent's.

    But Damen is still recovering from the knife wound Kastor inflicted upon him. It's a good thing he has the luxury of rest and the palace's best physician, Cyr, at his disposal.

    He also has Laurent.

    or: the one where Damen and Laurent are so very soft with each other and indulge in something unfamiliar to them both: cuddling

    Summary

    Damen had never known tenderness such as this. He had never felt so entirely overwhelmed and grateful for it.
    “Laurent,” he said, helplessly, because it was the dearest word he knew.

    Summary

    Being a king’s guard is meant to be a serious business: sharpen your sword, keep your boots shiny, and absolutely, under no circumstances, comment on royal hand-holding. Through the ever-watchful (and occasionally traumatised) eyes of Émile, veteran soldier, guard, and expert in both battlefield logistics and emotional damage control, we witness a kingdom at peace… or as close as it ever gets.
    These are the moments history never records: flower crowns in Lys, dog pile-ups in Acquitart, pony races gone wrong in Patras, and the kinds of swordplay that have nothing to do with politics. There are victories, near-misses, and more diplomatic incidents averted (or not) than anyone will ever admit. In the end, Émile’s most dangerous duty might just be surviving the spectacle of his kings learning how to be happy: and occasionally, letting himself enjoy it, too.

    Summary

    “The festival of the moon goddess? Here?”

    Berenger closes his book before shifting slightly to face Ancel in bed,

    “They are trying to downplay it for the people but it’s bad, Exalted says that cancelling will show weakness when we need to present a unified front,”

    “Indeed but here? Where would we house the travelling crowds when turning in for the evening? I suppose the halls would need to be rearranged for the ceremony during the day, not to mention the food choices,”

    Ancel’s whirling imagination is stalled by Berenger’s upward gaze, quiet in his contemplation, the kind of soft regard that melts the tight worry brimming within Ancel’s chest. After putting out the candles Berenger falls into Ancel’s arms, burying his face in the crane of his neck as he whispers,

    “This is a great honour, a real chance to show off the splendor of our home…I know you can handle it.”

    OR

    The one where Ancel hosts the most memorable festivity New Artes has ever seen!

    Summary

    Enguerran turned. “Vere is welcoming its brother.” His voice was careful, balanced on the edge between sarcasm and diplomacy. Even as the words left his mouth, he could feel the shift in the air. Damen inhaled deeply, his chest rising beneath the weight of cold air and restrained fury. His voice was ice wrapped around iron. “The King of Vere,” he said. “Where is our brother?” Enguerran was pale — he’d always been pale, his skin like milk even in summer, when others browned and glowed. He just turned red. Burned. Now, under Damen’s gaze, he felt like he was burning again. “The rumors-” but his voice cracked like thin ice.

    “The rumors,” Damen interrupted, “have it that the King is missing.” Enguerran flinched, then nodded. The words tasted like ash, “Aye. The King is missing.” The admission fell like a stone in the silence that followed. Enguerran braced for it — the strike that had to follow.
    Damen didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t lift a hand. He only took a single step forward. It was enough. Enguerran stumbled back without thinking. His heart beat like a war drum in his chest, his breath shallow in the freezing air. Damen loomed before him — soaked, furious, silent.

    And this was only the beginning.

    Summary

    “My cousin told me,” said Alexon, proudly, “he met a man who had once been a famous gladiator from Isthima. He lasted only minutes in the arena with Damianos. But afterwards Damianos had him in his chambers for six hours.”

    “Seven hours,” said Lamen, frowning slightly.

    — C.S. Pacat, The Adventures of Charls, the Veretian Cloth Merchant

    This is (in part) the story of Arkas, a once famous gladiator from Isthima, and his friend, Basia, a once famous gladiator from Vask. At an inn in Patras they meet two sheep farmers: one a sizable man, the other has yellow hair and keen blue eyes. Perhaps they drink too much double-strength wine. Perhaps they tell too many tales.

    It is also (in part) the story of King Laurent of Vere and King Damianos of Akielos. At an inn in Patras, at a table with two gladiators, King Laurent learns of more than just his husband’s sexual prowess.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, Laurent,” Damen murmured as his fingers began untying the laces on Laurent’s back. He could see that Laurent was untying the laces on his forearms. “You’re going to be the greatest King of Vere. And Akielos, of course.” Damen leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Laurent’s nape, his lips skimming over the golden hair there.
    “I don’t want to have sex tonight.”
    Damen’s fingers stilled in the laces. He looked up to catch Laurent’s reflection in the mirror but Laurent’s eyes were stubbornly fixed to his own forearms. Laurent’s voice was clipped, something that Damen was slowly growing unused to.

    The day of Laurent's coronation was meant to be joyous. When he knelt as a Prince and rose as a King, something changed inside him. Damen just wanted to be let in to find out what happened.

    Summary

    [...]“I am here, with you”

    For how long, Laurent wanted to ask - for how long would he stay, once he uncovered the rot under his skin, festering in the dark humid spaces amidst his ribcage, moulding deep in the marrow of his bones?

    Summary

    Laurent and Nikandros navigate their fragile friendship and have some stupid ideas (most of them are Laurent's), almost making poor Damen go grey with worry as he's the only responsbile person in this fic.

    Rating is mature mostly because of the fifth chapter but it's nothing really explicit.
