Rule: Answer 10 questions and then write 10 of your own (tag people).

1. If you had to pick your last meal? Hot steaming bowl of White Rice. With a mountain side of Chutoro nigiri. And maybe some roasted potatoes. (I like my carbs)  And tea.

2. Story behind your username? Hahaha I’ve been asked this a few times lately. Itako is a type of female shaman. This origins from my weeb days, from the manga/anime Shaman King, my fav character Anna (who is an itako).  Aya was an OC from my teenage days haha. I’m uncreative and just kept the handle to this day.

3. What’s the best fic you’ve ever read? Descent into Madness by Conspirator  / Fandom: Rurouni Kenshin

To answer this question I went down a memory lane on google. This was one of the first fanfics I’ve ever read, and back in the day, I printed it out on paper, in font size 4, double sided, and it was 20+ pages long. Amazingly, it is still available on the WWW. Not going to reread it though, I don’t want to ruin how good I remember it to be.

4. Favourite song lyrics? No all time fav but here’s one from Halsey that makes me think of Laurent haha.

He says, "Oh, baby girl, don't get cut on my edges I'm the king of everything and oh, my tongue is a weapon There's a light in the crack that's separating your thighs And if you wanna go to heaven you should fuck me tonight

5. Favourite quote? Ok this isn’t a favourite quote but I just find it relevant. Why don't you buy paper books? E-books lack character ;D

6. Favourite tv show or movie? .....Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet? I think it just had a strong visual impact on me as a young-un.

7. Favourite fictional character? Currently Laurent :3

8. Favourite author? Jane Austen :X

9. One place in the world you’d love to go? I think I answered this in a previous meme and said Rome. Going to add Santorini to the list because Isthima.

10. Favorite drink? Tea- Oolong or French Earl Grey Alcohol- Gin Tonic or Plum wine

--- My questions, tagging @liesmyth @xnightrainx and back at you @dragonmage27 if you’re interested in the new questions :’D 1. What is your perfect weather? 2. Favourite author? 3. What’s the best fic you’ve ever read? 4. Favourite fandom/fanfic and/or character tropes 5. The last thing you found inspirational 7. What is your sleeping position? 8. Cake or Icecream? 9. What is your weapon of choice? 10. A language you’d like to learn?

snow and hot chocolate

post-canon snippet for @itakoaya who casually mentioned….”do you think Laurent would introduce Damen to hot chocolate?” and then 1881 words later…; so much love to @americancupsofbritishtea for the beta-ing, all errors are stll mine

Laurent led them into one of the inner courtyards. When one of the guards held open the entranceway and a gust of snow entered the palace, Damen stopped walking, shivering. “I hope this plan doesn’t involve me exiting through that door.”

Laurent continued his steady stride, amusement in his voice as he said, “My big, strong Akielon king. Afraid of ice.”

>>> Line Art by @pigmi from @capri-coloringbook <<<

Did a bit of meditative colouring in over the holidays! I’ve never really done colouring in with someone else’s art and this was super fun and relaxing. I love this scene from the books, and the dramatic pose/angle in this is just so *_* Thank you @pigmi and everyone who contributed to this book and letting us have fun with your art haha, I’m hoping to get around to colouring a few more.

Testing out CSP, not very used to it yet mmmm

“Now that we’ve followed your plan, would you be averse to following mine? I had wanted to start by buying you a drink. And then if we got on, we’d talk all night long, and maybe I’d get your number. If you were amenable, tomorrow I’d meet you for coffee.” Laurent raised a skeptical eyebrow, despite the fluttering of his heart. “You do this with all of your potential hookups?” The slow progression to bed seemed counterproductive to the purpose of the app; even Laurent knew that. Damen grinned. “No. But I think you deserve to be courted. And call me old-fashioned, but I do enjoy a long, drawn out courtship.”

I am FINALLY all done with my Grindr AU for the Captive Prince Bang 2k17! Thank you to the mods for this event, and special love to my artist @itakoaya and my beta @americancupsofbritishtea (dawnofthursday on AO3) for making this fic happen.  Hope you all enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

After taking a moment to drain his glass, Laurent stalked up to the man who had dropped his head back to his phone—possibly to send more childish texts—and said, “Exalted.”

My piece for this brilliant fic by @sarabelium as part of Captive Prince Big Bang 2017! An incredibly fun DELICIOUS modern AU story filled with witty nods to the original series. Spoiler: Damen uses Biceps! Laurent is very thirsty! I feel so honoured to be part of this collab. Please enjoy and send her some love, it is a truly a gem A+++
