    Summary

    Alastor can admit, in the silence of his own head as he walks away from the first official overlord meeting since the Extermination Day that Wasn’t, that Charlie MIGHT have been right. He probably should have stayed home.

    Not that he’d tell the girl that under pain of torture - that kind of hand-wringing and fretting wasn’t the sort of thing that should be encouraged in anyone, least of all the Princess of Hell.

    Holy fucking shit, does this hit perfectly. One of the best in-character fics for radioapple, which is actually a rather difficult feat so fuck yeah to the author for that.

    Read for the weightless sensation of falling; of biting into a crisp apple that's just on the far side of too sour.

    Summary

    Recklessly, though he knew he was courting the whipping post, Damen forged on. "You trust no one. Even men who would help you, even men who would follow you, even men who would love you." He paused a moment, knowing his next words were his most dangerous yet. "You don't have to do it alone."

    Laurent had finally straightened in his chair, his knuckles white where they clenched around his cup. "I have only ever been alone," he spat. His eyes bored into Damen, a challenge and a threat. "Ever since Damianos of Akielos met my brother on the field at Marlas and cut him down, I have been alone."

    *****

    Damen, still a slave, is falling in love with Laurent, and, against all of his instincts, Laurent is falling in love with him too. Unfortunately, they don't know how to deal with that at all. There's lots of staring and general pining.

    This is my own recreation of the time after Nesson-Eloy, because I will never be over the two of them trying to figure out who they are to each other. It takes the place of the last half of Prince's Gambit and all of Kings Rising, so although there are similar events, the story unravels differently.

    This is just...mmmmm.

    Read for the feeling of watching the sun set over the ocean with a crisp breeze, gentle and quiet and refreshing.

    This? Is just...it is.

    Read for the sense of a swooping sigh; that moment when you know you've arrived home away being away and you're safe in the knowledge that the people there will take care of you.

    Ugh.

    Read for the taste of crisp grape juice at the dawn of spring. Light and fresh and indulgent.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I first found this fic years ago, literally right before the pandemic. Right before things turned sideways and I had to put it down because it wasnt finished yet and I wanted to give it a proper read once it was finished.

    I gave it a bookmark, a true, proper-on-my-browser-bar bookmark and let it settle. Reading this fic now, it’s a shifting feeling to see how well loved this fic is, which it truly deserves.

    Read for the feeling of what a sea prune must taste like: a crisp burst of joy once you sink your teeth into the edges.
