#captive prince AU

Note
I have drunk roommates + their friends and I'm stuck in my room. Any distractions? (JO related? I'll take anything at this point)
(I need something to divert my attention before I fully panic)
I'm sorry this is late nonnie but remember that captive prince AU, well @touchyourblood has this idea that after Kris frees Bojan and they get together, Kris suggests that Nace (who was an advisor/councilor in the kingdom Bojan comes from and Bojan's friend) comes for a visit, because he's one of bojan's friends and Bojan misses him and Kris wants to "make up" for all the time Bojan wasn't free
so Nace comes, and Jan gets sent out to greet him (with some guards, of course)
introduces himself, and Nace's like "they sent osmeone as important as a council member to greet me?"
and Jan just shrugs and says "Bojan told me you are important to him. And, of course, an honored guest"
Nace's like 0_0 Bojan told you? you're on a first name basis? he's been talking to you?
and then they arrive and as soon as bojan sees them he runs down from the castle ramparts and throws himself into nace's arms
and nace notices how bojan is free, there's no guards watching him, he can move around as he likes, no one seems concerned
"I missed you," Bojan says, hugging him deeply, whie Jan watches them and smiles
and then of course bojan says 'let's go meet kris' and Nace does a double take like. Kris. the king. you call him Kris
he's slightly more formal with the introductions, like, this is Nace, my bestest friend, and this is Prince Kris. Nace's all formal, of course, bowing, and Bojan is all 'you don't have to stand on ceremony with him, really" while coming to stand by Kris' side, and Kris puts an arm around his waist and now Nace....understands. or thinks he understands
so afterwards they go off together, and Nace of course asks how he is, how he's been treated, etc, which Bojan reassures him "i've been treated well, like an honored guest from the very first day, and i've been giving my expertise and strategy in return"
and perhaps Nace presses him on that, says he looks a little pale, asks if he's alright, and Bojan brushes it off like "yes. I was...sick, but i'm fine now'
but nace won't let it go
'you were sick?" why was he sick? was he taken care of?
so Bojan has to admit "someone tried to assassinate Kris, and I stopped them, but I got injured, and the wound got infected, and it was a whole thing, but I'm better now, I promise. All healed."
which is....a lot for Nace to process
and of course there's that other thing
"Kris?" he asks
Bojan is on a first name basis with...the king? who is just "Kris" to him?
and they're clearly 'together' in some way, judging by Kris' arm around him earlier?
and did Bjoan really protect him out of care/affection or because he felt like he had to?
and Bojan, feeling like he can confide in Nace becauese Nace is his friend, admits "I love him"
"you were his captive" Nace reminds him gently
"I know," Bojan says, "and I know how it must look. But he never once treated me that way. He's been good to me. Better than some other kings I know."
Which leaves Nace worried that Bojan is just clinging to what affection he can find
"It's not like that. He listens to what I have to say. Values my opinions. He cares deeply about his people, and he trusts me to help him take care of them. And at first I simply respected him for that, a king who actually wants the best for his people. But then we bonded. Over music and books and art. Philosophy. He started to confide in me about personal matters. Before I knew it we were friends."
Nace still isn't convinced. "And when did he start taking you to his bed?"
"Nace. Please trust me."
"He didn't take ME to bed. I took HIM to bed "
"What?"
"You should've seen him. How shy he was. He felt so bad about wanting me despite our positions. He asked me to take him to bed. After I was free"
"A freedom he could take away if you didn't do what he wanted" Nace insists
And bojan gets frustrated
"Why do you refuse to believe he could be a good man??" Bojan demands. "He didn't ask to be gifted a person. That was OUR kingdom's idea. Or do you assume all kings are like ours?"

I read you neris one shot and it was glorious 😍😍😍😍 do you plan to make it an entire fanfic? (Pls say yes)
You know what, I loved writing that Neris ficlet so much that yes, I am planning on turning it into a full one-shot. It will probably be like games without frontiers, an extended one-shot with a fair amount of plot.
Just to set expectations on timing, this is currently my writing plan:
Against Nostalgia is my priority. I have a daily writing goal and I hit that before moving on to one-shots. As I have time, I will work on:
An eighth-year Ginny/Pansy one-shot that I started over the weekend and can't stop thinking about. Once that's done:
It's Neris time! I'm already about these two being mean and stunning together. And once they have destroyed and remade the world, I will be writing:
The Lamen soccer AU I promised @iftheshoef1tz and @poisonivy206 when we watched the World Cup together. It's been a minute and it will take me a while to get there, but it's happening! I've figured out what positions they play, which basically means I know what happens.
I'm also going to be working on ficlets for SJM Romance week. My asks are still open if you want to submit prompts! There have been some good ones and I'm hoping to deliver a new ficlet tonight.

When Laurent will do anything for more freedom in his career he strikes up a deal to let someone in and drive them away. He never plans for his games to backfire and he never plans on Damen.

Ok but what if…
Akelios was a land filled with some ancient magic with mythological creatures like elves and such. Vere once had this races as well but some seal makes it impossible to use magic and makes this creatures invisible to the common’s eye
What if captive prince was settled in a Forgotten realms- like world? Maybe it is a part of Faerun that has been cut off from the outside world?
Akelion population that is not human is accepted as normal, Damianos knows and talks this creature’s tongues and has some magic bases, also I picture him as very charmed by those creature’s costumes and is very beloved by them. Maybe this magic inhabitants played a role in Kastor’s defeat?
MaYbE Kastor, as the absolute asshole he is, commanded killed many of the magic folks, much like Nilfgaard in the Witcher.
Like imagine; Damianos has just arrived to a very old ruins, injured and Laurent almost dead bc ✨some shit✨and some fairies come to him to help and Laurent gets healed by them and just stands there speechless like ‘wtf??? Damen?? What is this??’
Maybe Laurent saw some of this creatures as a kid and the seal was created by some resentful mage to prevent the Regent from using magic?? Maybe??
I know very classical fantasy bui I WILL BE WRITING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS-

People should start putting Laurent's little magic tricks into fanfic more, especially modern AUs. Just casually pulling a coin from behind Damen's ear in bed. He can and should be a bit cringefail at it but this should be more of a thing™

Trust In My Hate: an Azris /Captive Prince Crossover
I likely won't start truly writing this fic until after What Lies Inside is completed, but I've been having a lot of fun planning, worldbuilding and outlining so I thought I would share some of it (but please note that the content of this post is subject to change, nothing’s final just yet.)
If you aren't familiar with the series, it's the Captive Prince Trilogy by C.S Pacat. [link to Penguin's page for the series here.]
I'm not calling this an AU because I'm not transplanting Azris to the Captive Prince (CaPri) world, nor am I transplanting the CaPri plot into ACOTAR. The world where the fic is set is inspired by both the CaPri and ACOTAR, as you can clearly see in the map below. The characters are maybe 60% ACOTAR, 25% OC, 15% CaPri. The plot is like 60% CaPri, 20% post-canon ACOTAR, 20% original. I essentially threw everything I liked into a blender and made something new.
Find the map and the fic's prologue below the cut! [new map and updated prologue as of 2/22]
Map:

I recommend clicking on the map to view it at a higher resolution.
Prologue:
This will explain the map, I promise.
Excerpts from the Illyrian Chronicle, compiled by Gaspar Kasos for his majesty King Gabriel in the year 207 AL (after liberation.) Long ago, the great Island of Prythian was divided into eight kingdoms. The Kingdom of Andr in the far north, and a coalition of seven kingdoms known collectively as the Courts. There were four seasonal Courts: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter; and three solar Courts known as Dawn, Day, and Night. Five centuries ago, Cornelius II, then the ruler of the Autumn Court, began a campaign of expansion. By the time his great-great-grandson Timothy IV took the throne, the Autumn Court’s power had consumed the other three seasonal Courts. Timothy did not think Andr, that rocky formidable land, worth the resources necessary to claim it and thus turned his gaze to the south.
In response to the growing threat from the north, Dawn allied with Day. Both would remain neutral in the initial conflicts to come which distanced them from the Night Court who stood fixedly against Autumn’s actions. 
Not long after this coalition was formed, a rebellion broke out in Night. For centuries the Night Court’s rulers had oppressed the Illyrian people within their borders, forcing them to live in desolate camps and serve in their armies. Under the leadership of the warrior Enalius, the Illyrians were able to break away from the Night’s oppression. During the revolution they conquered half of Night, establishing the great Kingdom of Illyria as it stands today. 
Though Dawn and Day remained neutral for decades, it would not last. On the Winter Solstice in 57 AL, Autumn spies massacred Dawn's royal line in its entirety, prompting Night to join the Southern Coalition with Day to stand against Autumn and aid in governing Dawn's rulerless territory on the border. 
Thirty-seven years ago the newly crowned King Rholand of Night and King Gabriel of Illyria met on the border at Mount Ramiel to discuss a tentative peace, marking the end of over a century and a half of strife between their lands. Rholand offered Illyria a public apology for Night’s persecution of their people, as well as a generous peace treaty and trade agreement that leaned heavily in Illyria’s favor. It was at this summit when Illyria formally joined the alliance against Autumn and the allied Southern Kingdoms as we know them were formed. The final offering on that celebrated day however, was made by no kingdom but by King Rholand's younger sister.
The Lady Elyssa of Night surprised all of those gathered by offering King Gabriel her hand in marriage, arguing that there would be no better demonstration of this new, peaceful relationship between their kingdoms than joining their houses by blood. Impressed by her eloquence and resolve, and after discussing the terms with Rholand, Gabriel accepted the proposal and the two were wed the following sunset at the grand temple in Illyria’s capital, Ios. 
The three southern rulers of Prythian ensured that their sons and heirs—the Princes Azrelios of Illyria, Rhysand of Night, and Lucien of Day—grew up paying frequent visits between their lands to bolster the trio’s camaraderie. The rulers’ forethought was well rewarded when a brutal battle broke out at Marlas in the borderlands at the eve of this current decade. 
The three young, then untested heirs valiantly led their forces against Autumn’s armies, but the battle only ceased when the Illyria’s Prince met Eren Vanserra, Heir to the Autumn Throne, in single combat and slew him on the battlefield. Eren’s death placed his younger brother Eris next in the line of succession. 
The battle of Marlas shattered over two centuries of relative peace between Autumn and the South. Nine years later, skirmishes are still frequent in the borderlands and tensions between Autumn and the Southern Kingdoms are at an all time high.
If you made it this far, thank you <3 I know I'm a nerd. Yes, I made the map myself and likely spent waaayyyy too much time on it but I think it's pretty cool and I hope it stoked some excitement!

Title: An Ornate Palace
Fandom: DC: Nightwing/Deathstroke x Captive Prince (C.S Pacat)
This piece was a special gift for @shrikethegremlin - we had a lovely time discussing their Captive Prince SlaDick Au!
Thank you for sharing your amazing writing with me, my friend! 🥰
A very special treat! Shrike has given me permission to share a lil snippet!
Check under the cut!
This fortress could be nothing more dissimilar than the grace of the Greco-Roman fortifications they'd left behind.
The place was ornate, heavily embellished. It was all dark wood carvings and archways draped in velvet. The halls they were led down were stone, lit with flaming sconces. Finally, they arrived at a sturdy door, and one of the two attending guards pushed it open.
Inside was warm. Silk couches were carelessly strewn with pillows. Light refreshments of cheese, bread, and preserved meats were artfully arranged on a silver platter, on a table above a thick rug. A fire crackled in the ornately carved hearth. But these things were background noise to Slade, who had eyes for only one thing.
“Richard.”
He was dressed in the subdued and severe styles of this land's court, a subtly expensive brocade jacket with intricate lacings and fitted silk pants. But his ears were studded with gleaming sapphires, sparkling in the firelight, making the blue of his eyes almost unreal. A delicate gold circlet rested around his neck, and something that looked concerningly like gold cuffs adorned his wrists.
"My Dove."

opening paragraphs of as-yet-untitled WIP which is currently sitting at 20k
it's a oneshot, it's dual POV, it's set at Christmastime (and is therefore pretty overdue by now, but will be coming soon)
the seed of the idea was that i saw this video and thought it was very funny. then suddenly i was writing a romcom.
stay tuned, i guess. early reviews say "the way I sighed when I read this lmaooooo" and "another laugh out loud moment jfc" and "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
they also say "The relationship building was just soooo good and satisfying" and "This is so fucking good" and even "Jddkdjdjsnsnsnsn"

dad damen au part six
Damen knows he’s done the right thing.
He knows.
But, lying awake in the sweltering heat, sheets pooled across the foot on the bed, his mind keeps swirling with images of Laurent’s teary-eyed, boyish stare, the shake of his chin, and the rapid rise and fall of his chest.
He fixates on all the details. He has to, to stay sane. He remembers the small, hitched breaths Laurent had exhaled, the curl of his fingers, the bluish-green veins across his eyelids, the insides of his wrists. He remembers the twitch of his jaw as he’d begged Damen to say something, the way the movement had drawn his eyes to the beauty mark on the underside of his chin. He remembers how familiar Laurent had smelled too; citrusy and clean.
Read the rest here on AO3 :)
