~🦌🌺

hello my darling!

I've been gone so long that I have no idea when you sent this and I'm deeply sorry for that!

I came up with the idea for an AU in which Damen's abusive way back in 2019/2020 (2021?) and to say I was a different person altogether back then is an understatement. I also haven't re-read the books in a long while so I can't say I recall everything I had imagined for this fic to begin with BUT!, I've got some fuzzy thoughts stored in the back of my mind that may satisfy some of the crave for Dark Damianos (a concept deeply slept on in my honest opinion but with how much people like to hate on him for free, it's best if we keep it sleeping lol).

DISCLAIMER: in my very private opinion, Damen has a natural darkness to his character that I find appealing (or would be appealing if I wasn't a coward) to explore. Those are the lenses through which I approach the abusive patterns he could come to develop in a relationship with an already emotionally/psychologically vulnerable Laurent. And also in my very private opinion, Laurent is a vulnerable character (for all reasons we as a fandom dwelled on to the point of exhaustion, but, most of all, in relation to how he sees and thinks of Damen — in terms not only of admiration but almost adoration, just as he did with his brother).

We all rememeber the scene at the end (?) of PG when Laurent is stepping on Damen's toes by saying bad things regarding his family and how Damen loses his temper and hits Laurent hard enough to draw blood. The guards step in to arrest Damen for hurting the prince and Damen takes full blame for doing it without showing a single bit of remorse whatsoever. Laurent is the one to talk his guards down from arresting Damen by pinning the blame of being assaulted on himself and that is it.

This idea (of an AU that never came to be) was forged mostly on the side of Damen's character that has a tendency to jump believe he is always right in the assessments he makes and proceed to never question the truth behind his own reasoning. And on the side of Laurent's character that always blames himself for every bad thing that has ever happened to him despite his own helplessness, and nurtures an unhealthy need for a role model to hold on to — once his brother, now his lover.

I'm going to leave all my thoughts for this AU bellow the cut, in case some people may find the matter too upsetting to read about. Trigger warnings for domestic, physical and psychological abuse, obviously! Proceed at your own accord and don't come whinning later🫰

‘You never told me how you ended up in Laurent’s faction’ ‘I was the Regent’s physician.’ ‘So you ministered to his household.’ ‘And to his boys,’ said Paschal. Damen said nothing. After a moment, Paschal said, ‘Before he died, my brother served in the King’s Guard. I never swore my brother’s oath to the King. But I like to think that I’m carrying it out.’

Another WIP I started 2 hrs ago :)

provisional circumstances - chapter 5

" “Why are you getting mad at me for something you brought up?” Damen said. “I have never said I wanted anything from you.” 

“You mean to say you agreed to go through all of this—a legal trial, through fucking marriage—for free? That there's nothing in it for you?” 

“Yes.” 

“ Bullshit, ” Laurent repeated, firmly. 

“You’re the one who’s been asking for favors since the moment we first met, not me.” Laurent reacted the same way he did the day Damen slapped him. Damen tried to fix it, “And I’m fine with that,” he said. “I’m glad to help whenever I can. I just can’t understand why you would assume I want to take advantage of you when I’ve done nothing to allude to that. Ever.” 

Laurent’s entire face twisted. “Why?” He said it like it irked him somehow. “How can you agree to something like this and expect nothing in return?” 

“I don’t know.“ Damen frowned back at him. “It’s what friends do?” 

Laurent went very still. “Friends?” 

“Yes?” It took Damen no small amount of effort to say it.

“We are not—” Laurent began and cut himself off. “We—” he tried again, equally unsuccessful. “I’m—” 

Laurent took a step back, heedful of Damen. Damen sustained it. The silence stretched.  

Finally, after setting a long discussion he obviously had in his own mind, Laurent said, “You are remarkably stupid.” 

“ Excuse me? ” 

“You are an idiot,” he said, stepping away. From a good distance, he turned and shouted, “Are you coming or not?” "

No Race to be Run

Summary: Laurent had a bad night and decided to go get a coffee to make it better.

Rating: General Audiences

Word count: 2.5K

~~

This is just a little meet-cute one shot from my Non-Soulmate Soulmates AU (in which soulmates are a thing, but Damen and Laurent aren't it), and a coffee shop au of sorts. Damen is under-dressed for the weather, but that's just who he is as a person. If you're interested, please read it here on A03.

Be aware of the tags, please. There is no angst in this, but the implication of the heavy themes tagged are there. thank you!
