Summary
“I do,” Laurent said, the words clipped. He swallowed, then added, “Damen, I want to. I just—sometimes I forget.” His cheeks flushed at that, not a prince or a king, but a boy again, a virgin. “I forget how to start.”

After four months apart, separated by the demands of diplomacy, Damen and Laurent reunite in the quiet, snowbound halls of a distant castle. This is a post-canon exploration of love, vulnerability, and the intimacy of finding each other again—born, perhaps, from the author’s own yearning for a snowy winter that never quite came.
