Had another dream story idea and it's BAD out here y'all. My subconscious said "you don't go for sad old white men yaoi? Well here's one and you have to care about it so much. Good luck"

#the braiiiin worms #The surrounding story was very good lotr asoiaf 80's fantasy epic and then there were these two dudes just So Achingly In Love oh my GOD #Basically they had been knights together back in the day during their own Young Men Do Big Things story and deposed the evil mage king #They were just village boys turned soldiers who fell in love and did something good #but then the one was basically forced to become king because he'd killed the last one and had to get married and produce an heir #So he does get married but tells the queen he's never going to sleep w her and she can fuck who she likes and her kids can have the throne #Since he's not even nobility he doesn't care about The Bloodline #His lover is promoted to “protector of the king” 👀 and they manage to be happy despite the restrictions of royal life #Eventually though it comes out that the king's kids aren't his #And this sparks a conflict between “loyalists” who want the True King's Legacy and the “monarchists” who want Real Noble Lineage #With the queen basically standing back and watching it happen as the crown prince decides now is a great time to try “patricide”#the lover finds the king's nephew (the loyalists' heir) and tells the guard to take him to distant family to raise until he's old enough #But the guard is like “he's gonna get found out in no time” so instead sells him to ppl who find exotic kids for nobles to keep as wards #and he basically disappears into a faraway household and the lover doesn't even know #Meanwhile the king survives a poison attempt but is now physically impaired and on high alert #He leaves with a small retinue to Do Some Business but when he comes back the castle gates are up and arrows start raining down #So it's him and his little group at the edge of a market vs. an entire castle #In the ambush/battle he is seriously wounded #and they try to fake his death to get back in the castle and then nurse him/sneak him out #But the prince doesn't take it at face value and stabs the “body” to make sure #and the lover has to act through watching his all-but-husband who'd just planned their escape from all this get killed in front of him #So that it doesn't blow his cover and get him killed too #That's about where the dream ended but I'm uggg g h gg #I'm SO invested in these two fantasy gays and their incredibly poetic relationship #Doesn't hurt that there were like 3 very graphic sex scenes between them across the timeline #And they were so obsessed with and hungry for each other the whole time.... the last one was just before the ambush #after the king has been left near-immobile from the poison and they're like 40-something #and the lover takes him away from all that and back to the days it was just them and he was strong #It was sooo romantic but also hell when can I get ravaged like that #Anyway I'm ruined and I can't even really work on it I have too many other things to do
