25. blonde. poet. she/her. i smoke hella pot and read hella books. then i post all my literary-pot-induced analysis here. don't be fooled. this is totally mostly captive prince.
One of my favourite things about Laurent is how far from frigid and unfeeling he really is. He’s so easily delighted by little things like coin tricks and animals and fancy hats. He tells awkward jokes and likes roleplaying as a cloth merchant and putting flowers in Damen’s hair. And he cares so deeply about his people and his country and will fight like hell to protect them. He’s gonna be the best king Vere has had in a long time
DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? I SAID STIRRING DROWSILY, LAURENT MADE A SOFT, UNTHINKING SOUND OF PLEASURE THAT DAMEN WAS GOING TO REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. AND THEN LAURENT WAS BLINKING SLEEPILY, AND DAMEN WAS WATCHING LAURENT GROW AWARE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS AND COME AWAKE IN HIS ARMS. HE WASN’T SURE HOW IT WOULD BE, BUT WHEN LAURENT SAW WHO WAS BESIDE HIM, HE SMILED, THE EXPRESSION A LITTLE SHY BUT COMPLETELY GENUINE. DAMEN, WHO HADN’T BEEN EXPECTING IT, FELT THE SINGLE PAINFUL BEAT OF HIS HEART. HE’D NEVER THOUGHT LAURENT COULD LOOK LIKE THAT AT ANYONE
warm baked goods are insane. something so beautiful and almost maddening about absolutely tearing into them when they’re fresh. feeling warm all over after. I really do get vampires for real
the way everyone talks about damen in captive prince has me convinced that everyone a) immediately falls in love with him and b) wants to have sex with him
No. You don’t get it. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere. I love Laurent of Vere.
Sorry it’s early but you really can’t use fanfiction terms in a non fanfiction context like if someone is trying to sell me a book to read and they tell me there’s an enemy to lovers I would be annoyed because why are you spoiling the story lol
As an aspiring novelist, I love that fanfiction is a thing. I've been writing fanfiction for over 16 years now and have started putting together my own personal novel.
Fanfiction isn't just a way to create stories out of other works for me, it's also a great way to practice writing. I can explore my strengths, find my weaknesses, and find my style of writing.
Writing fanfiction is also a creative outlet for myself when I'm stuck on my novels and can't seem to move forward, but still want to write.
Having people comment on my stories and follow my stories gives me motivation that, yes! I can actually write and people actually like it. It gives me hope that, if and when I write my own novel, people will read it and people will like it.
