Important question

Do you think Charls calls them Jazar and Dord because he’s mis-remembered, or do you think this is another one of Laurents Damen-Lamen antics, and he’s given them all ridiculous code names

Laurent: you guys all need clever disguises so we don’t get found out Everyone: urm… fine, good idea I guess? Laurent: Lamen, Jazar, Dord. Remember them. Everyone: … Everyone: why are you like this? Everyone: What about you? What’s your disguise? Laurent: don’t worry, I bought a hat.

What point do you feel damens feelings first began to shift to possible romantic feelings?

He stood with his palm flat against the wall, chest rising and falling. Beside him, Laurent was breathless again, and brilliant with the run. ‘This way,’ Laurent said, moving out towards the street. Damen found that he had caught Laurent’s arm, and was holding him back.
‘Wait. It’s too exposed. You stand out, in this light. Your mousy hair’s like a beacon.’
Wordlessly, Laurent pulled Volo’s woollen cap from his belt.
Damen felt it then, the first dizzy edge of new emotion, and he let go his hold of Laurent like a man fearing a precipice; and yet was helpless.

My thoughts on when Laurent fell in love:

I know everyone is pretty much past this question but 1. I will never be over it 2. Writing things out helps me organize my thoughts and 3. I wanted to throw my two cents in, so here we go.

going into his trial, Laurent felt ready to die because he thought that what he and Damen had together on the way to Ios was more happiness than he ever believed he would get

but when Damen showed up at his trial, he realized that he wasn’t ready to die after all because his death would hurt Damen just as much as Damen’s death would hurt him. Damen walked into that trial, risking everything by doing so, and brought with him a future of love that Laurent never realized was an option for him. he saw in Damen a lifetime of love and happiness and desperately wished to live to experience it.

some of the funniest quotes of CP:

  • “One was a barbarian soldier, a giant animal.”
  • “I’m not going to hurt you” - “Good” *stabs with fork*
  • “I see you are everywhere in proportion.” 
  • “He is Charls. I am Charls. We are cousins named after our grandfather, Charls.”
  • “You have very long eyelashes. Like a cow.”
  • “What’s it like having a prince suck your dick?”
  • “I meant to kill him, but my uncle didn’t let me. He sucked my cock, too.”
  • Every ounce of sass that comes from Laurent’s mouth

“Then Laurent rose, his hand closing around the hilt of Damen’s sword. ‘He won’t kill you,’ said Laurent. “But I will.”

Something about this is so powerful to me and I honestly don’t know why.

But just look at it.

“No,” said Damen. He tried to move, and hit the limits of the chain. He said, “Laurent, he’s my brother.”

The parallels are amazing, because it’s really not the same.

Damen killed Laurent’s brother in the heat of battle. It was one prince killing another. One heir to the throne killing another heir to the throne.

Laurent loved his brother. He worshipped his brother, and when Damen killed him, it caused his whole world to crash down upon him.

Damen loved his brother. Damen looked up to his brother, wanted to please his brother, refused to think the worse of his brother.

However his brother may have felt about him didn’t matter. He loved him anyway.

Yet as Damen lay on the ground bleeding, his brother having stabbed him, standing over him with a sword, ready to stab him again, he still begged for his brother’s life.

But the person he’s begging, his own lover, is a person who’s brother he himself killed. And he realizes this immediately.

You killed your lover’s brother.

Now here he stands posed to kill yours.

But…

And this is what makes that scene so fucking brilliant and so fucking poetic to me.

Laurent doesn’t kill Kastor to hurt Damen. To get revenge on Damen. This is not some fucked up tic for tac, you killed my brother now I must kill yours.

NO.

Laurent didn’t kill Kastor to hurt Damen. Or because he hated Damen and wanted to see him suffer.

He killed Kastor because he loved Damen and didn’t want him to suffer anymore.

He killed Kastor out of love. Not out of hate.

There was no revenge here. C.S. Pacat weaves this beautifully.

Because we know how much Laurent loved his brother. We know what his brother meant to him. We know what he wanted to do to the man that had killed his brother.

So yeah, Damen killed Laurent’s brother and Laurent in turn killed Damen’s brother, but the reasons why are what gets me.

Laurent loved Damen. Loved him completely and absolutely and he wasn’t going to let anyone hurt the man he loved. Be it his uncle, Kastor, Jokaste, anyone really.

That Damen is the source of both his deepest pain and his greatest joy, is simply amazing to me.

p.s. Love the fact that Laurent knew Damen so well, that he knew he had to chain him down to keep him from intervening. Like he knew he would try to save his brother even after everything and there was no way he was letting that happen.

Okay but lbr if Damen actually had an Instagram it wouldn’t be anything artsy or aesthetically pleasing like these edits. It’ll probably be like unedited pics of him and nikandros sweating and smiling at the camera. Probably really badly lit pictures of Laurent in their kitchen or something. Just a Soft Bro enjoying his life, laughing and smiling with the people he loves.

Has anyone ever noticed Laurent’s infamous line “Apparently I have fucked my enemy, conspired against my future interests and colluded in my own murder,” is ACTUALLY what happened in Kings Rising?

He was utterly in love with Damen that he’s willing to sacrifice his throne (conspired against interests part) and end his own life (murder part) by surrendering to The Regent. The best part was the last sentence “I can’t wait to see what feats I’ll perform next,” and the ending was just that. We can only guess what feats he’s going to reach next.

GUYS. CS Pacat senpai just foreshadowed aND summarized Kings Rising in a sentence. Mindblown.

What Captive Prince is: A story about redemption and forgiveness. Putting history into perspective. Putting your own story into perspective. Suffering. Surviving. Sacrifices. Hurting others the way you've been hurt. Realizing you're human. Realizing the things you hate are human. Loyalty. Choices. Grey areas. Politics. Necessities. Growing up happy. Growing up too soon. Truths. Lies. Fate. Learning what you want. Learning how much you're willing to give up.
What Captive Prince is not: Lol rape how sexy is that

You do such a good job writing CP, so maybe you can help me with this. Why is Laurent so vicious to Damen in the beginning of KR? I get that he intended to have just one night with Damen, and I expected him to put distance between them. But I don't understand the vitriol, with the whip etc. I guess I also don't see what made him do a 180 and wind up putting Damen above everything.

Have I reached the point where people trust me to write meta now? That’s so exciting. I will do my best to communicate my interpretation of what’s going through Laurent’s head at the beginning of KR. Under a read more because I could write essays about Laurent of Vere. (Seriously, this is me holding back.)

Laurent couldn’t let anyone in for so long because he just loves s o hard. I don’t think he is one of those people who does Casual. He loved his brother enough to devote his entire life to getting revenge for his death. He had awful things done to him by his uncle and s t i l l couldn’t utterly hate him or believe him totally lost. And now, Damen. He started falling for Damen so fast and just never stopped, they are still reaching new levels of Young and Love and Loyal and Together months and months later, he is so incredibly open in so many ways I would’ve never expected. He can’t let people in just a little; when he loves, he loves fiercely, with all his heart.

laurent knew that auguste let damen pick up his sword. he knew that auguste refused to attack an unarmed man, even an enemy.

with that in mind, pls consider the following:

• “I don’t share your craven habit of hitting only those who cannot hit back, and I take no pleasure in hurting those weaker than myself.” Driven past reason, the words came out in his own language.

Laurent, who could speak his language, stared back at him”

•“'I don’t know if that is usual practice in this place, but good men don’t torture slaves in Akielos. […] To abuse someone who cannot resist—isn’t that monstrous?’ […]

There was a long silence. Laurent’s expression had changed.”

• ”‘I didn’t volunteer. I was brought here. I don’t know why.’

‘To cooperate,’ said Laurent.

‘Cooperate?’ said Damen, with complete disgust. ‘You were unarmed.’

Laurent stared at him.”

• and Laurent standing for hours in front of the regent and the council, testifying for damen, who was, for all intents and purposes, unarmed.

doesn´t it just kill you to think about how damen and auguste would have litterally been the best friends ever

There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character
