these were a hit on twitter so figure i’d share on tumblr dot com. context = everyone was making fun of a book that was marketed with this same format. enjoy the capri versions

Captive Prince - chapter 19.5 EPUB!!

Dear Captive Prince enjoyers,

My friend decided to grace us all with a digitalised version of the bonus chapter 19.5 from Prince's Gambit.

You can find the EPUB file here.

This is what I imagine when the narrator describes Damen undoing Laurent's jacket from behind

[laurents-secret-diary]

"Even before Laurent had hit the ground, the man had drawn his sword. Damen was too far away. He was too far to get between the man and Laurent, he knew that, even as he drew his sword—even as he wheeled his horse, felt the powerful bunch of the animal beneath him. There was only one thing he could do." -Prince's Gambit by C.S.Pacat

and a continuation of the same scene with more spoilers:

"You were watching the road." SHUT UUUUUPPPPPPPPP SHUT UP SHUT UPP!

with Laurent's tendency to just say weird ass non sequiturs and Pacat's narrating style that only provides the context for what he said paragraphs later and my own personal brand of being illiterate, the first time he says "sweetmeat?" I full on thought he was trying to get Damen's attention by calling him this brand new derogatory nickname. I thought. essentially. that he was calling him his meaty sweetie

#i didnt know sweetmeat means sweets/candy/confectionary #i may be stupid #i thought that it was a derogatory name for damen who was previously described as big and muscular #and the sweet part was the deamining/fake tender part since many other lord's dot on their pets #and book1 laurent could definitely try and humiliate him

I went to the ao3 capri tag for the first time and let me tell you Im shocked

Lamen spot number one obviously duh duh duh but THEN Ancel/berenger as the runner up!!

AND THEN!! LAZAR/PALLAS HAS JORD/AIMERIC B E A T?? CRAZY

if i were jokaste, imprisoned, and then my ex-boyfriend's brand new piece comes into my cell and he looks like a carbon copy of me but worse for wear? like hitting a bong frankly

#jokaste was the blueprint for whatever the fuck is wrong with damen tbh

[laurents-secret-diary]

ur so real for ancel/berenger they are literally top tier!!!! u go into the story expecting it to be kind of weird and slightly off putting bc of ancel in the main trilogy and then bam unlimited pining potential and the second most cold blooded bitch in the entire kingdom of vere

LITERALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I was not sold on Ancel at all when I read book 1 and now. Ancel. Ancel!! PLEASE I NEED THIS SHORT STORY TO NOT BE SHORT PLEASE "i thought you didnt want me" "i wanted you all this time" is like coke to me please

[laurents-secret-diary]

Um. Pallas/Lazar will have to move aside to make space for the new goats that are Ancel/Berenger

For about a week now I've been trying to read the Pet side story and I cannot move past the line "Spread your legs, Rouart." like I keep dropping the book in shock

#im uninvested and then it gets tropey and hook line and sinker i go is2g #pacat always does an emotional rug pull I hate it so much #GIVE ME CLOSUREEEEE MAKE THEM KISS FOR ME #how did their story become one about Laurent. white boy so imposing he dictates other people's relationships #anyway make them kiss on their own terms pacat do it

[laurents-secret-diary]

For about a week now I've been trying to read the Pet side story and I cannot move past the line "Spread your legs, Rouart." like I keep dropping the book in shock
