just finished binging the captive prince trilogy and i really mostly have one question which is were we all waiting and yelling at damen the whole time to recognize what was between laurent and his uncle? or was that just me

like halfway through the first book i assumed that was gonna be the reveal at the end of it and then i was like well okay ig in the second book and then oh um mebbe we'll get around to it towards the beginning of.. ah no not until the last fifty pages and even then it's not really discussed??

or even one of their evasive, hedging, communicating with ur eyes rather than words discussions bc obv laurent isn't going to want to talk about it but likee

anyways, between this and the prince-killer anti-reveal, it's a good thing damen isn't the brains of this operation

One of my favourite things about Laurent is how far from frigid and unfeeling he really is. He’s so easily delighted by little things like coin tricks and animals and fancy hats. He tells awkward jokes and likes roleplaying as a cloth merchant and putting flowers in Damen’s hair. And he cares so deeply about his people and his country and will fight like hell to protect them. He’s gonna be the best king Vere has had in a long time

biblically accurate progression of reading kr ch9

“i’m going to need some help standing up.”

“i miss you. i miss our conversations.”

“you keep overturning all my plans.”

“yes, uncle.”

Yes it’s important to be alone with your thoughts sometimes but I cannot have that time be when I’m trying to sleep because I know from experience thats not a good idea

She couldn't burn him. You cursed her into the darkness. You chose Lestat over her, time and time again.

The ‘you’re mature for your age’ to sleeping with a bed full of plushies in your mid twenties pipeline is real

there's something to be said about the way jeremy refused to believe the worst of jean because he trusted that kevin would not have sent him to usc if he was as bad as the rest of the ravens. and at the same time jean trusting jeremy as his partner because again kevin would not have sent him there if jeremy was not a good person that could look after jean. something poetic about the unwavering trust that they both have in kevin !! kevin day !! the man that you are !!
