    “Fuck proper,” Laurent replies, “and fuck me properly.”

    I fear there are too many quirks of the modern english language contained in this fic (probably why i didn't bookmark it years ago)
    But disregarding that, this is such an enjoyable read

    - how would Laurent behave without csa trauma?
    - nikandros actually liking laurent
    - political intrigue and scheming
    - laurents beautiful mind
    - Damen being his sunshine self
    - polyamoury discussion and relationship dynamics

    Summary

    “Your seed breeds large, strong women,” Halvik said with a sense of pride, and the one other Vaskian tribe leader who could speak Veretian was nodding emphatically. “We would have more strong women from you, King of Akielos. In exchange, you may keep the boy children.”

    In which Halvik has an interesting proposition for Damen and Laurent about their future heirs, and Laurent thinks it's a really great idea to watch his husband have sex with a dozen Vaskian women.

    “Oh,” Torveld said as he read his correspondence in the morning.

    “Oh?” Erasmus echoed, busy with tidying. He was putting Torveld’s clothes away neatly, folding up his tunics and trousers after they’d come back from the laundry.

    “There’s a visitor coming,” Torveld said. “An Akielon. He’s the son of a Kyros. Minos- have you heard of him?”

    Summary

    The letter arrived in an envelope of rich blue linen, sealed with white wax with gold leaf stamped into it along with the starburst seal. The letter itself was written on parchment so fine it was smoother than butter, the writing upon it crisp and precise.

    Ancel perched on the arm of Berenger’s chair as he read it- an invitation from King Laurent to come to court in Ios, written in his own hand.

    “What an honor,” Berenger said.

    “Fuck,” Ancel said.

    Summary

    The Personal Escort Treaty - or P.E.T. - system was put in place for rich and lonely travellers to hire companions and assistants for extended periods of time. It was originally intended as a way to combat the negative mental health effects of continuous solitude that is common in anyone stuck in a spaceship without human contact.

    Berenger needs a P.E.T., Ancel is more than happy to oblige.

    Berenger hates Arles and the double standards of the elites, but he feels powerless to change it. When he meets a beautiful stranger in trouble, he wants to save his life. And if the only way to do that is to claim that they are betrothed, well - at least this way Ancel lives.

    Marriage of Convenience, but it's actually inconveniencing Parsins personally and loosening laurents grip on his control of his political machinations. Berenger is just glad to have met Ancel

    I wouldn't say no to a second part describing how Ancel deals with the political intrigue of the court as berengers husband

    Summary

    Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.

    He breaks the surface.

    His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.

    “Naiad,” a voice says.

    Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.

    ---

    On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    If I met this Laurent irl and heard him speak I'd be like ok pretentious weirdo. And if I was a mindreader and heard his thoughts I'd respect it more but be exhausted by proxy.

    However, he works soo well in the time and place that he lands. Following his steeltrap mind and witty anachronisms is a delightful journey

    Studying history all the while it's been your own. Then making that history.

    Fates, godly intervention and self-fulfilling prophecy...

    This author def took some uni courses about classical history. They were researching!

    “I prefer the real Ancel.”

    Ancel shifted back to his younger human form, auburn eyebrow raised.

    Berenger stared at Ancel. How could he make this any clearer?

    “I said –,” Berenger paused awkwardly, “the real Ancel.”

    Summary

    Lord Berenger despises the entire pet system, and the victims that it creates. He’s working with Prince Laurent to put him on the throne, and stop this entire cruel charade, negotiating a court filled with the Regent’s spies. But a chance meeting with a terrified pet proves to be both a distraction and a weakness. As Ancel becomes his closest companion, he begins to make mistakes, and he isn’t the only one.

    So many Berencel stories set the court intrigue only as the backdrop and them as passive observers. This gives them both intelligence and agency!

    Summary

    “Well?” Ancel demanded from the bed. “Are you going to come fuck me or not?” He wrinkled his nose, gaze dropping to Berenger's cane. “I’ll do all the work. You can just lie there. I’ll be careful. I can make it good for you.”

    “You’re not here for that,” Berenger said, finally stepping into the room so he could sink to the sofa with a quiet groan of relief. “You’re here because you said I was cursed, and you’ll be leaving as soon as they realize you were lying.”

    “What?” Ancel asked sharply, indignant. “I wasn’t lying! And I- I’m not a healer. I have a touch of the Sight but not even True Sight!” At least he finally covered up, pulling the blanket over himself. “I do sex magic, for fucks sake,” he hissed. “I can make you cum fifteen times before breakfast, not-“ he waved his arm in a vague but distinctly huffy gesture, “fix whatever’s wrong with you!”

    Ancel saw the smoke in the distance a full hour before the cart slowed to a stop. It was a dark cloud in an otherwise clear winter day. He wondered how many fires there must have been to result in so much of it and shivered, huddling into his warm cloak.

    “The prince killer’s army is on the other side of the ridge, boy,” the farmer said. “If you want to get closer, you’ll have to go by foot."

Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."

    When he wakes up he's in a car. It's not the half-reclined seat or the seat belt digging into his shoulder that immediately sets off alarm bells in his head. It's the fact that he's in a car. A moving car.
    He's on his back and only has to shift his head to look at who is driving. There's a twinge in his neck as he looks to the side.
    He frowns. "Neil?"
