truly all it takes is one (1) friend reading captive prince for the first time to bring my undying love of damen, laurent, and damen & laurent hurtling back in full force

it’s so endearing that laurent is the type of person who actively searches for small victories and celebrates them even in really bad situations 
(i.e. when laurent and govart have their final show down “His tongue was still intact, because the knife was in his shoulder. He accounted that a victory when it happened. You had to take pleasure in the small victories. The hilt of the knife protruded at an odd angle. It was in his right shoulder, already dislocated, so that breathing was now painful. Victories.)
like despite all that’s happened to him and all that continues to happen, he finds his own silver linings and allows himself those moments of fleeting happiness because he earned them

Conversation
Berenger: Ancel can you read question 23 for the class?
Ancel: No I can not.
Ancel: What up, I'm Ancel, I'm 20 and I never fucking learned how to read.

Damen:
Is a brilliant military strategist and commander
Helped Laurent turn a bunch of mercenaries into a loyal army in a couple of weeks. As an Akielon slave, he convinced these people to follow his command
Figured out that they were walking into a rockslide based on the fact that the terrain was unsuitable for any other type of ambush, and saved everyone by knowing exactly how far off the road they’d have to go to be safe
Keeps calm in difficult situations and reasons out the best course of action
Won Laurent a Veretian fortress, which are notoriously difficult to conquer, using a strategy that accurately assessed the risks and benefits of splitting up their troops
Likes Akielon poetry. Is particularly into super long war epics
Speaks nearly flawless Veretian, among other languages
Was the one to figure out that Paschal had evidence of the Regent’s crimes, which not even Laurent managed to do
Can tell when Laurent needs to be left alone versus when he needs sense talked into him
Also Damen:
I speak your language better than you speak mine, sweetheart
Has the emotional intelligence of a pineapple
Doesn’t remember the names of the people he’s slept with
*gropes the Prince of Vere in the baths* *is shocked at there being consequences for this*
Loses all his brain cells in the presence of hot people
See that last point again
Torveld: *flirts with laurent* Damen: *frowns*
Tries to escape Arles. Is recaptured immediately
Tries to fight an entire Vaskian clan with his hands tied behind his back
Asks Laurent if he’s straight
*Sees his lover in less clothes than usual* *literally drops a pitcher*
Walks into the palace at Ios, his childhood home, using the code name Damen. Yes very stealthy. Definitely fooled those guards.
“Laurent is innocent because I love him so much. Listen to how much I love him. This is clearly an effective argument for a trial.”
Puts away his sword around Kastor. Stabby Kastor. Still-has-a-knife Kastor.
Insists that his life-threatening injuries are quote unquote “not that bad.”
Never listens to nik
Never listens to his doctors
In conclusion:

A golden prince was easy to love if you did not have to watch him picking wings off flies.

Even after all they’ve had together do you think Damen still remembers that soft, unthinking sound of pleasure Laurent made before waking up after their first night together?

it’s winter and it’s so darn cold here, imagining Laurent and Damen happily sleeping and cuddling in the summer palace keeps me going

Laurent : I’m not a dumb bitch. I’m a genius.
Nikandros : You’re a genius dumb bitch.
Laurent : That’s not how it works.
Nikandros : But the negative just cancels out the positive. So you’re just a bitch.

Laurent: When crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges, it’s ‘intelligent’ and ‘really cool’ but when I do it I’m ‘petty’ and ‘need to move on’.
