    Summary

    “This slave is a gift from the Regent of Vere
    to Prince
    Damianos.”

    A reverse AU exploring how just a single canon divergence – where Laurent is forced into slavery instead of being the prince – could set off a chain reaction that radically transforms the original narrative.

    Inspired by this illustration of oenjanz’s (@tumblr), however the fic cover is my own.

    Summary

    "I think," Damianos said softly, "that you have not been treated the way you deserve."

    For the first time in his life, Laurent did not know what to say back.

    Summary

    A lowly member of Patran royalty seeks reparations after learning of the marriage between Laurent of Vere and Damianos of Akielos, announcing that a betrothal contract between himself and Laurent had been drawn up by the traitor Regent when he was King.

    It is not gold that he wants to be repaid. He seems to underestimate just how much Damen is still aching for revenge on the Regent — and anyone else who dares attempt to come between them.

     

    “It is simple,” he says. “By way of reparations for this betrayal, I ask for one night with the Prince of Vere.”

    Summary

    In hindsight, Damen should have seen the signs. That there is no bouncer at the door but a guy selling actual tickets. That the door has actual glass in it one can see through. That they are just in time for the second half, and that, of course, no phones are to be used. Nikandros drags Damen past all of this until they end up in a dark room with people on a stage, and they fall into the closest seats available. It takes them a few long moments to realise where they have ended up.
    “Nik,” says Damen, “I think this is a—"
    Another person enters the stage and Damen’s mind goes blank.

     

     

    Drunk out of their minds after a night out, Nikandros and Damen mistake a theatre for a strip club, and Damen falls in love with the actor on stage. Which poses a problem, for Laurent de Vere famously does not date. But what if he takes a leap of faith, just this once, to prove that all athletes are the same anyway?

    Little do they know what they are getting themselves into.

    Summary

    Laurent needs this job. Not in the I need to put food on the table and a roof over my head kind of way. He's got a generous inheritance, thank you very much. No, he needs this job to prove he is a functioning adult who did not waste his late mother's money on an expensive education. He can be normal, whatever that is.

    Laurent needs this job and it feels like his last chance so he tells a little lie to help himself get ahead.

    Then along comes Damen.

    Summary

    The veretian court can be more dangerous than a battle field.
    When the Veretian Queen dies during winter the King dies with her and the throne remains empty, uncertain, while the prince Auguste fights in the border against the akielon king who takes advantage of the weak veretian state and invades Delfeur. When chaos runs through Vere, Auguste, desperate to keep his control in the capital, orders his brother Laurent to defend the border and, in the unavoidable Battle of Marlas, everything is destined to change.
    A new king rises and the shape of a new empire is born.

    Summary

    Laurent de Vere, handsome, clever, and rich, with a moderately comfortable home and an immoderately bratty disposition, seemed to break up some of the worst matches in existence; and had lived nearly twenty-four years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Wow, what a ride! Absolutely loved this author for really nailing Laurent's POV! There were a few interpretations of emotions and motivations that I never considered or heard before that made me think more about Pacat's original text! I also really loved the extra dialogue and small scenes that were added; especially the love scenes, they were so tender and lovely...and sometimes freaky 🤪

    Summary

    “Oh,” Torveld said as he read his correspondence in the morning.

    “Oh?” Erasmus echoed, busy with tidying. He was putting Torveld’s clothes away neatly, folding up his tunics and trousers after they’d come back from the laundry.

    “There’s a visitor coming,” Torveld said. “An Akielon. He’s the son of a Kyros. Minos- have you heard of him?”

    Summary

    Five years ago, Damen left Vere and the man he loved with every intention of going back. But he let himself be persuaded it would be a mésalliance. In all that time, he never found anyone to match Prince Laurent. And now a wedding is set to take place between prominent families of Patras and Vere, and Damen has to accept the invitation on his father's orders.

    Unfortunately for Damen, when he returns to Vere, at long last, it's Laurent's turn to reject him.

    With another Prince lurking and an ambitious pet on the prowl, Damen wonders if he'll ever find the courage to follow his heart again.

    And if he does, what can he do to regain Laurent's affections?

    An adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion.

    Summary

    Damen has two wolves inside of him. One of them is in love with Laurent. The other one is also in love with Laurent, he just doesn't know it yet.

    "They’ll always talk about you, D," Nikandros tells him, "for as long as you are who you are. Better they talk about your abysmal love life than go digging any deeper into what you do in your free time. That’s the whole point of this, remember?”

    And Damen, fully chastened by now, sighs. He remembers. How could he not? His entire life had been pretending at something else or the other—pretending that he knew how to run his father’s billion dollar corporation, pretending that the only things he cared about were women, booze and loud cars.

    Pretending that he could make a difference in this world, even if it was just by stopping one mugging at a time.

    Sometimes he wasn’t sure there was any part of him that existed that wasn’t some sort of pretense or the other. If the tabloids dug down and tried to find out who was underneath Damianos Vallis, heir to the billion dollar Vallis Corporation, son to a dead father, brother to a murderous traitor—

    All they would find are empty masks, all the way down.
