me, starting Captive Prince: oh dear, her name is Jokaste? this is not very promising.
me, in the middle of Captive Prince: oh God, Jokaste is PREGNANT?
me, at the end of King’s Rising: they don’t know if Jokaste’s child is Damen’s or Kastor’s? a lot of really messed up things have happened in this series, but at this point, as long as neither Damen nor Kastor end up ALSO being Jokaste’s son, I’ll take it as a win.
me: the bar is on the ground.
me, at the end of the trilogy: as fvcked up as this was, nobody actually produced a child with their other child or their parent, so that’s a plus? I think?
—Released from the weight of the jacket, Laurent rolled his shoulder, as he did sometimes after a long day in the saddle. Damen brought his hand up to squeeze Laurent’s shoulder gently— and then stopped.
Prince’s Gambit was by far my favorite out of the Captive Prince Trilogy. Golden Age vibes, Commander x Second-in-command, UST, it truly had it all to make me fall. This was one of the scenes that had me actually trembling while I was reading.
Even though I told myself that I would take a little break from reading to focus on finals, last week I started this series aaaaaand then binge read the second two all in like two days…..but I think we all have those books that just suck us in - for me recently (other than this series) was the SOC duology, The Raven Cycle and AFTG. Which books have you just not been able to put down?
Hello, lover ;) Ugh man. I read the CP books for a laugh. Ended up staying For the MC’s character dynamic. Obviously not in the beginning. The beginning was….not worth mentioning. But LATER ON. Ps. You can’t tell me Laurent doesn’t wear thigh high booties. It’s my one true head canon.
Here is my entry for the Captive Prince Big bang 2k19! ( @capri-bigbang2k19) it took a long time to finish and I am super sorry for the delay but I am super happy about how this came out in the end!
While doing this I got to work with the amazing @exalted-one who wrote and amazing fic to accompany this piece:
