    Summary

    Viktor felt, for a second, somewhat sated. This was not the life he had dreamed of, but only because he had, on some level, not really expected to have a life to dream about. He had a comfortable job, a kind employer, he had more time than he ever really expected to read, to study, to learn. He had, of course, a yearning for something more, but while their travels interrupted his personal experiments, they also funded them. He could imagine a better world for himself, and simultaneously accept the hand he had been dealt, as much as he disliked it.

    None of this was new—they were the facts of his life.

    But after that feeling of being sated came another. Something deep, twisted, terrifying, awful. There was no evidence to support it, only a sensation across his fingers, down the back of his neck, clutching at his chest.

    Something—and he was not sure what—was about to change, it said.

    When his employer is hired to tutor a young woman, Viktor hardly expects to meet anyone interesting in the process. Instead, however, he meets Jayce Talis: wealthy, handsome, a scientific genius—

    And an asshole. That too.

    Summary

    “Lift your head.”

    The command comes after long, torturous seconds of silence. Is this it? Is the king gonna slice his damn head off for babbling through his introduction?

    Jayce lifts his head, fighting a shiver as a bead of sweat slides down his spine.

    And his mouth just—drops open.

    The King is divine.

    Summary

    To peacefully end the war with Akielos, King Auguste of Vere sold his brother in marriage. To some, that was his first mistake.

    As Laurent thrived in Akielos, his brother's rule suffered without him. Now the King of Vere has taken a prolonged Retreat from his duties, leaving the country in the hands of his chosen Regent, his uncle, Richard. In the south, Akielos is at war with her own people, a simple rebellion that should have been quashed in months stretching into years, as if their enemies somehow know their every move before they make it.

    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

    “If I had control of this situation, we would not be standing here at this very moment. I would be at home, in the country, away from you.”

    “You cannot say such things if you wish to convince people we are besotted.”

    ...

    On the brink of financial ruin, Laurent will do anything to save his family, including something he’s always asserted he never would - take a husband.

    The only problem, Laurent is utterly uncourtable. Until Damianos of Marlas takes an interest in aiding his reputation, at least.

    Together, they come up with a ruse that will fool the entire ton. Perhaps even themselves.
