Complete:
- Aftermath : After the events in Kings Rising, Damien and Laurent have a lot to figure out.
- After the chimes : The two young kings settled in Akielos for some days while Damen recovers from his wounds...Laurent doesn't want to admit he is concern about his lover and the future that's bestowed upon them and precious Damen is there to remind him...
- Ambush : “Princess,” said Govart, grinning cruelly and imbuing the word with a complete lack of respect. He spat into the hole. Laurent didn’t flinch. “We have unfinished business.”
- Danse Sensuel : They called him the Prince. His hips were draped in a swathe of blue silk, his wrists and ankles and arms and fingers and throat adored with bands of gold, sapphires woven into his fair hair, a perfect match for the brilliant blue of his eyes. And he was the star.
- Foreign Correspondent : o you know how disheartening it is to have a foreigner charm your brother, treat you like a friend, and then forget you as soon as he returns home? At Auguste's wedding, Laurent and Damen renew their acquaintance.
- Forsaken : The regent gifts Aikelos with a slave. Damen treats him decently, and Laurent cannot fathom why. Meanwhile, treachery and plotting continue to transpire within the castle walls, and the princes find themselves having to protect their kingdoms and birthrights.
- Heat beneath his Fingertips : It was too hot and it was not the good kind Laurent usually associated with his lover. He knew that Akielios was generally warmer than Vere but this was bordering on ridiculous. He felt like he was boiling and it was all Damen's fault. Damen, who was still sleeping peacefully while snoring lightly. He glared balefully at his lover.
- Lilies : Laurent smiled again, a slow stretch of muscles still accustoming themselves to the use. “Lilies. There’s a rainbow of them in the gardens at Acquitart. I’ve always enjoyed the yellow ones.”
- Persevere : "You toy with me." "No," Damen said, humour draining out of his voice.
- Strike a Pose : In which Damen is an investigative conflict zone photographic reporter that, by ‘chance’, is sent to work at Vere - yes, the iconic fashion magazine. And the editor-in-chief is… Well, you kinda knows how it goes.
- The Wedding : The ceremony was about twelve times more complicated than Damen thought necessary. In Akielos, men were married by making oaths to each other and clasping hands, and perhaps by inscribing each other’s names on themselves with a matching tattoo. Laurent had declined to be tattooed, and Damen decided Veretian weddings had been designed by cloth merchants, as they seemed to involve at least seven different excuses for changes of clothing.
- Wine and Flowers : The Regent's attempt to assassinate Laurent succeeds - but it isn't an assassination attempt at all. There are two captive princes now, and this time, they're being sent far, far away to an island empire called Artes which is more familiar - and dangerous - than either of them anticipated.
Ongoing:
- A Flower in the Sun : An alternate reality in which Vere & Akielos never go to war. Kastor still seeks to usurp the Akielon throne, however, thrusting Damianos & Laurent into a situation in which they have to pretend they are lovers. Their friendship and pretend relationship slowly become something more.
- A Gift to Akielos : This is basically a reverse au where Laurent is sent to Akielos as a slave for Damen, instead of the other way around in the book.
- A World To Roam Through, And A Home With Thee : “You’re Laurent Aurifére, right? I know your brother –“ “Well, of course you do,” Laurent snapped, unable to hold back his anger, his disgust, and maybe he reeked with it or it was written so clearly on his face that Damianos could not help but take notice because he looked at him with wide eyes
- Agreement Between Equals : Damen wondered why he had been summoned to Laurent Vere Duke of Arles' rooms. An offer for his hand in marriage was definitely not what he had imagined.
- Courts, Crowns, and A Little Game of Chess : In an attempt to diffuse the rising tensions between Akielos and Vere, Prince Auguste invites a group of Akielon ambassadors to the Veretian court. He expects many things to come out of this visit: trade agreements, festivities and celebrations, and perhaps the emergence of better diplomatic relations between the two nations. What he did not expect, however, was for his younger brother to take an interest in the Crowned Prince of Akielos.
- Kings Reign : Directly following the events of Kings Rising. Damen is on bed rest and Laurent is taking care of him. What follows is their story and the story of two kingdoms becoming one.
- One the Other : Marlas goes badly for Damen. He goes back to Ios with Laurent as his reluctant ward. aka an AU where Laurent grows up in Akielos.
- The Root Note : Sometimes, you make your own family.
