Don't Mind Me Just Screaming Into The Void Because I Cannot For The Life Of Me Nail Down This Chapter.

Seconded and adding the image of Laurent, frustrated with the eye-strain, dropping his book of choice into Damen's lap one evening with an "Attend me."

Damen indulges him by reading aloud but when he suspects Laurent has drifted off or isn't paying attention anymore he makes increasingly unlikely additions to the text. If Laurent notices and wants to varify Damen's claims he should really try the lovely magnifier his husband got him for his birthday...

i think often about damen and laurent growing old together—imagine this; laurent’s trying to read his novels in the palace library but finds himself struggling due to his waning eyesight. Damen teases him that he should start using a magnifying glass and tells him about an exciting new development where you can physically place them on your face (the modern equivalent of eyeglasses) Of course Laurent is just as stubborn as Damen and loathes the idea…

😭🤣🤣🤣 I love the fact that it’s canon that Laurent loves reading

Ahh you are more than welcome, I'm so thrilled you like it, thank you for being so kind and for writing stories that live in my head rent-free 🖤🖤

(Hear me out on the cap; it is Nik's but it reps a team he can't stand? A relic they made him wear during hazing. He pretends he doesn't care that Laurent took it but actually how dare he. Laurent is either totally oblivious OR he knows Nik hates it and is just being a menace? I'll shut up now.)

Anyway sending all the love and appreciation your way!

I am both comfortable and flattered if you'd like to add a link. 🖤

Hi there! I love your fics and I don't know if this was a weird thing to do but I did a lil fanart for 'Shopping Spree', idk if it will fit your vision but I'm just going to leave it here. Hope you enjoy, have a great day!

oh my god, excuse me because I'm currently losing my MIND over this!?!??!

This is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so beyond touched that you put in time, effort, and talent to create fanart for a fic of mine! 🥺❤️❤️ I technically can't speak for all fic writers, but making fanart is absolutely not a weird thing — it's sooo sweet and moving!

Just casually shoving an ice cream cone into his mouth, legs splayed apart, like he's not driving Nik insane!!!! The uniform is perfect! I love the little flush to his face, his hair is so pretty. ugh.

And the baseball cap!!! That has to make it into a future fic. (The question is whether he stole it from Damen or Nik 🤔)

Honestly, idk how Nik was able to drive without crashing with Laurent's bare thighs on display like that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!! I'm so grateful you not only created this beautiful work, but also shared it with me!! 🥺❤️

also — please let me know if you're comfortable with me adding a link to your art in the fic!

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. 😅

Quick messy attempt.

someone should draw damen and laurent like this

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.

Headcannon that in public Damen uses Laurent's titles and refers to him as ‘his majesty’ as much as possible because his lover got undermined as future King too much and he simply will not tolerate The Disrespect.  

On the flipside Laurent will drop a ‘my intended’ or ‘my husband’ with the frequency of that One Girl from highschool who needs to get her engagement ring into every photo.

So silly but I went to Eras and now this is happening. Are my other Capri X Swifties out there? 😅

How could it be anyone but you?

Made little something for @typicallyriarkle , who is a wonderful writer and person. Not a certain scene, just a vibe, but I hope you like all the same. 🖤

(Also the linework version for funsies?)

Just some lovers being soft one evening. 🖤

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

Just a lil wip of some Kings in love.
