hi all! New here but not new to fanfics, I'm typically a HP Fanfic writer. I read all 3 books in a week then was compelled to write my own fic.
It's an alternate history of the Battle of Marlas with a Damen/Auguste pairing.

i never read Captive Prince, which is crazy because I was all about fanfics in my teens. now im dying to read it, but it's taking forever to come from the mail...
i know the basic synopses, BUT how would y'all describe this story to me? how bad will it hurt? is there a lot of smut? (no spoilers plss)
Hey, I just started reading Marionette, the Laurent pov fanfiction on AO3 based on numerous recommendations here but I'm 40% in and I can't determine if it's really a good Laurent adaptation of the story?
He seems really soft in this fanfiction, overwhelmed with emotions but brooding like a teenage boy. He felt sorry during the Damen whipping scene, or even the one in the gardens with Ancel? He lays in bed a whole week, depressed? It is so not Laurent 😭 He seems a lot less clever and absolutely not in control of himself. Is the trilogy worth reading after all? The fist book is always the hardest to go through, it is a fact, but having such a mature Damen pov compared to a boyish Laurent pov seems odd.
Please tell me your thoughts!!
I made the mistake of reading this story (somehow it took me ten years despite adoring this series lol) and it turns out I was RIGHT to avoid it because I feel SICK, this story has inflicted me with untold psychological and emotional horrors.
Oh Aimeric, Aimeric. Poor Jord. My babies. How am I supposed to care about my KPIs after this? They both deserved so much better. My poor boys.
What the title says, basically. Canon or (slightly) canon divergent fics (no AU's) centered on him, his life in Akielos, his family, his relationship with Kastor, with his father, his mother, his Friends, his feelings...
