Seconded And Adding The Image Of Laurent, Frustrated With The Eye-strain, Dropping His Book Of Choice

BG3 has me in a chokehold so hear me out on a concept: The Regent as a warlock patron posing as Laurent's Uncle in public. Laurent wanted to be a wizard when he grew up but Auguste was gone and he needed help fast. Now the only way out of his pact is with the help of Damianos Prince-Killer.

HIIII OMG I JUST SAW THAT U UPDATED SWITCH!!!!! I HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP YET BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!!! Do u have any plans for a new fic / project after switch? I can't bear without ur writing 🥺 hope ur well!!

Hi there! I'm well thank you, hope you're doing well too!

Fingers crossed you enjoy the chapter, it's a longer one than usual! 🖤

I do have a few ideas floating around for after Switch. Most are oneshots but I do have an idea for a multi-chapter fic where Laurent is married to Torveld but it's toxic as hell (age gap, coercion, power struggle) and Damen ends up tangled in the middle of a cukolding/affair situation...

I'm still trying to get the dynamics pinned down properly, but if that's something you (or anybody reading this) would be interested in reading then let me know. 😅

Not to be boring about it but I think Vere's acceptance would really hinge on public opinion of the alliance in general. If the Kingdom is thriving and the Veretian side accepted Damen's rule then there is a chance that attitudes might have shifted, culturally speaking, by the time the succession came up.

If not then I think you'd get some real pushback, they'd likely see Laurent's marriage as a pretty flimsy reason to be ruled by an Akielon-Vaskian.

Although I am partial to the idea of Laurent taking Damen's son under his wing (even if he chooses not to parent) and making sure he's more than ready if it's an uphill battle. He has the experience having his own claim in question and the drive to honour Damen's line. If anybody was going to pull it off...

(Plus imagine some old Veretian politician trying to argue this son's illegitimacy, only for him to open his mouth and spew out the most Laurent-coded tongue lashing anybody has heard in years. Jaws hit the floor. Inheritance secured.)

The question of succession...

Laurent wants his line to die with. We gotta respect that.

So the only other option is for Damen to sire an heir. But I don' see him doing the ykkkk deed with anyone.

But he did sleep with the tribe women. And if the children are male the Vaskians don't want them.

So my solution for them would be to take in the boys damen sired. Boom! Everyone happy.

HELLOOOOO I RECENTLY BINGED SWITCH IN LIKE TWO DAYS I AM O B S E S S E D IT SO SOSNO GOOD!!!!? I've read very few fics that capture that transition from suspicion to trust that Laurent has for Damen, much less in Modern AUs, and I was surprised at how seamless it felt!!! So kudos for that!!!! I can't wait to read more from u, do u have an uploading schedule, by chance?

Anyways, thank you for writing and uploading it!!!!

Hi there!

Thank you so much, we love a binge read here, I'm glad you've enjoyed the fic so far!

There's no schedule for updates (sorry!) When I'm really on a roll I've been known to get a chapter out every two weeks but sometimes life happens or a chapter decides to be tricky and I fall behind my goal. Hopefully the wait is worth it!

Just some lovers being soft one evening. 🖤

(We're not learning how to background today so let's call this one done.)

Not to do the cringe *characters talking in the authors notes* thing but spellcheck just tried to change 'between Damen's legs' to 'between women's legs' in the chapter I'm writing and I felt Laurent's full-offence-taken in my very soul.

Don't mind me just screaming into the void because I cannot for the life of me nail down this chapter.

Latest chapter of Switch is up for anybody who likes their kink with a hefty amount of character work involved.

Just a lil wip of some Kings in love.

Kinda a WIP but also kinda not idk I'm experimenting.
