Summary
Laurent wakes screaming. He’s dying. He must be. It’s the only explanation he has for the utter agony, confusion and terror that he feels. His brain is splitting itself open, bits of it strewn across space and time. He’s twenty one, in Arles, finally crowned. He’s fourteen, at Chastillon, on his knees for his uncle. He’s twenty, in Ios, watching a blade sink into Damen’s side. He’s sixteen, all alone, dreaming of revenge.
Last night Laurent had thrust his arm at Damen, “attend me,” he had commanded, as if Damen weren’t a king in his own right. Last night, Uncle had sat on his bed, played chess with him. “I will always have time for you,” he had reassured Laurent, “even though Auguste has outgrown you.”
Laurent leans to the side and vomits, violently. His fingers shake as he pushes his hair back, slowly, the room spins into focus. His hair is shorter than he remembers, Damen likes it long. His hair is exactly the same, cut by his nursemaid once a month.
He is thirteen, at Marlas, and he knows everything.

Summary
Laurent is a young ingenue who meets Damen in the summer. What was once a summer fling turns into something else after Laurent discovers that he must stay in Ios for the foreseeable future. They agree to remain together, and Laurent takes an internship at Theomedes Inc., not realizing that the CEO is the man he's been romancing all summer.
The Grease AU no one asked for.

Summary
“That's it,” he says, and pulls on his jacket. “I'm saying something.”
“Laurent, don't,” Auguste says, reaching out to grab his arm. “Think about this, for a moment. They're probably roaring drunk and even if they weren't they'd be no match for you. Why don't you just let it go, enjoy a drink with your favorite brothers in the whole world, and have a nice, soothing night. Hmm?”
Laurent settles down, and takes a deep breath. He shucks off his jacket, earning him a warm smile from Auguste.
“You're right,” he says, letting the anxious breath his brothers had been holding wash over him before continuing. “If I'm going to eviscerate them and make them regret every decision that's led them to this point in their sorry little lives, I'm going to need a better plan."
His brothers groan in unison, and Laurent smiles evilly.
