No my lovely, it's not capri, it's original and therefore terrifying haha

#like I've never really written high fantasy before and I never really do anything original but here we are doing both

[rosyandraw]

In nmfy, I can't quite get my head around the Royal family tree. I'm sure that if I went back and found all the references to cousins and kings that I might be able to figure it out again. But, let's see: the king is the nephew of Damen's father--and I think you said that Damen is the kings cousin – – then presumably Theomedes had an older sibling who was king or queen before the current one and who is now deceased, yes?

And I know that Bastian and Nik's bride are siblings, but I can't seem to pull up The relationship of any of the three of them to the king or Damen or whomever. And are Aleron, Auguste, and Laurent somewhere in the same family tree? What about Nicaise?

I simply adore royal family trees and whenever they are available perusal, I peruse them in great detail and imagine how all the complex interactions came to pass. So, just curiosity.

Hey hun!

So, it is based on the English system of titles because that is what I’m familiar with.

For Damen, he is the son and heir of the Duke of Ios. His aunt (Theomedes' sister) was the Queen consort as she married into the royal family.

The King is therefore Damen’s first cousin.

The others are probably all related if you go back far enough but generally speaking they’re not related. Aleron is a Duke, which in terms of title hierarchy it would go King > Prince > Duke. So he’s very rich and has a lot of land.

Historically large titles such as dukedoms have affiliated titles and historical connections to other titled lords in their region that are not “as powerful”

So Bastian’s family I believe I said was an Earl (I think Chastillon from memory) The title is tied to the land and to Bastian's family.

Titles are usually passed down from father to son. Nikandros’ title is Marquess, and his families region is in Delpha.

Nicaise I didn’t specify but as his mother married into a minor titled family Nicaise has no claim to the title and has no rights to the land because it's his step-dads. Aimeric and Ancel are both younger sons of titled families so they don’t have specific titles themselves but they're rich.

Powerful titled families (like Dukes) tend to have several subsidiary titles attached to the dukedom. So for example in England atm the Duke of Richmond is also the Earl of Kinara, and Baron Settrington etc. The next most powerful title the Duke holds, which in this case is "Earl of Kinara" is generally given to the eldest son/heir. So if you look up that title, it'll be held by the Duke's Eldest son.

For NMFY it makes both Damen and Auguste Earl’s in their own right now even before they have inherited the Dukedom.

It's all pretty messy and complicated tbh haha, which... can we expect anything else of the english?? This was super fun to answer so thank you! 💕

Character A *completes a task effortlessly with focus and great efficiency*

Character B *is admiring them, while thinking out loud* "please choke me with your bare hands"

#the whole of Prince's Gambit and Laurent's competency kink #lamen #the grill on the window is such a hilarious “...” of arousal/shock that i could reread that entire scene over and over and not get tired

[rosyandraw]

I am officially on draft 5 of my manuscript and I am a little bit shocked at myself for getting to this point in 6 WEEKS. 90k words. Draft 5. WHO IS SHE?? we don't know her

And yes, I am losing my mind.

Nearly at the "real people read it and have my editor no doubt rip me to shreds" part

I am scared. Like actually nervous LMAO plz

why am I doing this to myself?

#writing #because like you know when a character just takes up residence in your head? #yeah that #so this is me writing a novel

[rosyandraw]

I just finished the masterpiece that was “(not) meant for you” and I was sooo balls deeps obsessed and went on a hunt to see if we could reach out to you somehow and WOW 🥵 Let me just tell you, it ticked off all of the things I could ever went in a fic, to begin with a possessive jealous brat Laurent. We need more of this fic writers!!!!!! You just get it!!! All a fic needs is a needy jealous bottom and a possessive dom top and you fulfilled that fantasy so let me kiss the hands that wrote out this story and thank you! The sex scenes were a league of their own, the way you portrayed their dynamic and the subtle sub/dom roles they took over and the sub space Laurent got into was soo beautiful I might have shed a few tears. He’s soo precious so lovely. And their characterization? I love how it’s from Laurent’s pov but despite his insecurities and self sabotaging ways It was also soo beautiful to read him slowly but at the same time so swiftly fall in love with Damen. Damen is soo hot in this, such a protective teddy bear but at the same time SMUG LIL BASTARD. HOT AS HELL (Laurent is growling at me from somewhere) I love how you portrayed that despite it being from Laurent’s pov we as readers got to feel it first that he was in love before he realized it himself. I also love the themes you have in this, that despite their flaws you just root for characters that’s the way it should be in all stories, how sensitives theme gets treated in this, so respectful, giving food for thought, the therapized way of thinking Laurent does. You have amazing talent in writing and I can’t get enough of this story, so unique in its own way. I think I’m gonna have to re-read this forever until that mighty update notification comes lol. Thank you again for this masterpiece 🩷

Hey lovely

First of all, this message is everything and I love it so much so thank you for that!

I'm so glad you liked it!

Possessive jealous Laurent is CANON, Damen's jealousy is quiet and he sulks (isander/Torveld) but Laurent is SO BALLS OUT about it. I love it haha

Omg Laurent so would growl at you for loving Damen (almost) as much as he does haha, but I'm glad you like him! I kind of have major issues with the typical reduction of Damen to Love interest/Himbo/Ignorant when he's like none of those things?? Madness to me haha

I love flawed characters so I'm glad they come across well, I think handling the subject matter sensitively is so important to me personally, so I'm really glad you think that!

Thank you again for this wonderful message, I hope you're out there rocking your best life 💕

[rosyandraw]

Hello ❤️ just jumping in here to say, I am immersing myself in the Captive Prince fandom again after a long break, and I’m loving NMFY so fucking much—I devoured half since yesterday and aiming to catch up by Sunday evening.

These two. 🥹 My heart is fluttering. Breaking. Doing summersaults.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Hey beautiful!

Thank you so much, it always means a lot to me to know it resonates and that someone liked it enough to come say hi

Thank you for loving it as much as I do, I hope when the end eventually arrives it will have been worth the wait 💕

As always though my love, thanks for dropping by 💕

A snippet of A/D/L 3sum pls !!!!

Hey my lovely!

I can absolutely give you this. I have a secret love of those boys sharing Damen so here

NSFW so be warned:

"That's it, just relax, let Damen's clever fingers open you up," Auguste said, leaning up on one elbow, fingers idly circling Laurent's sternum.

Laurent whimpered, turned his head in the opposite direction to mouth at the sheets "s'good," he said

Auguste just chuckled, tugging Laurent's face back "you like his fingers inside you?"

Laurent sucked in a breath, nodding, biting his lip as Damen continued to stroke his fingers in and out of him.

Damen was mesmerised, eyes darting down, still surprised to find himself between the spread of Laurent’s thighs. More surprised still when he glanced up, at the two pale heads bent together, whispering as though in confession. And the pretty picture they made, a tangle of limbs and miles of skin that Damen wanted to taste. The two of them together were beyond striking. He hadn’t expected the reaction but he should have. He knew better than that by now.

“Laurent you’re going to fucking love his cock,” Auguste said

The words were breathed as Laurent’s hips flexed, a soft sound coming from him, head tipping back to expose the flushing column of his pale throat.

“It’s so thick, he’s going to split you open and he’ll be so fucking deep in you that you'll never feel right again unless you’ve got him inside,”

Laurent moaned then, eyes flying open, meeting Damen’s transfixed gaze. Damen was torn between watching Laurent’s face and watching his fingers split him open, the soft pinkened skin stretching to accommodate him; a new strain that would definitely burn. Yet Laurent did nothing but whimper. It was possibly the most erotic sight he had ever seen; Laurent, aloof, untouched, and unobtainable, coming undone on Damen’s fingers whilst his hair was stroked back from his face by hands Damen well knew the shape of.

“Fuck you’re going to love it, you’re desperate for him, aren’t you? Look at you,” Auguste said in an approving hum from Laurent's side.

Laurent just nodded, panting, hands clenched in the sheets and face flushed pink, alive and wrecked and utterly fucking beautiful; like some kind of dream. Laurent nodded again, eyes on Damen, hips shifting with the deep probe of Damen’s fingers inside him where he was tight and hot.

“He’s going to be such a fucking whore for you Damen,”

Hihi! Your berry anon 🫐 here .....

I know I have to answer to our last gossip about rings because I loveeed your idea and I have this girl's insta who does amazing old style wedding rings and it beautiful you need to see them. I also need to finally send you my long text and talk about the last ch with you because ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥

Yet..... I'm not here for any of that ......

I'm rereading the last few ch of nmfy so I came here to beg on my knees 🥺 for a lil moment with jealous Damen but this time he has all the rights to go to Laurent hug him from behind and be like hey baby who's your new friend ...... or something like that haha

Okay I'm leaving and I promise the next time you see me it's to talk about all my feelings about your last chapter.

Kisses, kisses have a nice weekend 🪻

HEY HUN!

Haha I never mind, whatever you are here for I always appreciate you stopping by haha

I can't lie to you right, as much as everyone loves jealous Damen, I ADORE jealous Laurent because Laurent's jealousy in canon is SO MUCH and Damen's is like, sulky and pouty but Laurent's?? LMAO gotta love a jealous king.

But the slightly territorial thing from Damen in NMFY? Yeah that would totally work haha

I hope all is well with you lovely and you're living your best life 💕💕

[rosyandraw]

Dear Hollyyy,

I just finished chapter 7 of NMFY this morning and I wish I could find the right words for how beautiful this story is and how much it means to me! NMFY Damen has my entire heart, I can feel in your writing how much you love and admire him and I've been thinking about him non stop.

His relationship with Auguste, their codependency the toxicity of that kind of relationship even when platonic is just something ive never seen muddled through in any story and its just been such an honor to read!

I cant believe theres on chapter left, this is will be one of the dearest fics to me ! Hope youre doing so well !!

<3 <3

Hey my lovely,

Firstly, thank you for this message, I appreciate it so so much!

And I really do love Damen I can't lie, so I'm glad you love him too haha. I have such a thing for Damen and Auguste in NMFY, they may be my favourite dynamic i've ever written. I just felt like doing something a little different with them, so I'm really glad you have enjoyed the ride

Neither can I, I think i'm procrastinating now because I don't want to let it go haha, it'll be up soon though, I swear! 💕

listen man i've been posting fanfic for like 15 years?? So WHY is it so scary realising that at some point in the very near future i'm gonna need -for the first time ever mind- beta readers

Lmao

Someone tell my anxiety to stop being a little bitch

#also don't want to flood the place with asks so i'll answer the others tomorrow #this time i promise

[rosyandraw]

Important question that may not be answered in the final chapter:

Does Damen have a secret stylist?

LMAO

Very important!

For events yes, he's rich as fuck after all. But on the day to day no. Laurent's perception just changed when he stopped lying to himself like a big fat liar.

About not fancying Damen. Everyone fancies Damen who was he kidding lmao

#asks #savoytrufflephd #nmfy

[rosyandraw]

GRRRL WHERE YOU AT. I know you aint be leaving us hangin like this i'm 💀 I NEED it. I’ll be over here suckin up crumbs if you got them. A morsel! ANYTHING 🙏🙏🙏

Lmao i'm sorry!!

I am a flakey mess. I have written around 80k words for capri stuff recently including part of my next long fic and three one shots all of which are not being posted because I am very aware that I have an obligation to finish NMFY first

We've got gladiators, or 1920s gangsters. That's it.

So like you can have one of those? or like, one of Damen's POVs but that's all I've got complete rn I'm sorry, I know I suck

But like in a silly charming kind of way right.... RIGHT?!?

#asks #NMFY #Captive Prince chokehold continues #for real let me know if you'd be offended if I post one of the others lmao

[rosyandraw]

an nmfy update perhaps? as a treat? 👀🥹

Ermmm nothing to post properly atm but this is the current writing vibe:

“You look like you’re going to throw up,” Auguste said as he leaned in to him “That’s because I am going to throw up,” Laurent hissed back, giving his brother a glare. Auguste just laughed and shook his head “the trick is to pretend there’s nothing wrong, people take their cues from other people, you act like you have something to be ashamed of and they’ll shame you, act like you don’t care and they’ll get bored of caring themselves,” That was surprisingly observant and incredibly useless to him. Because he did care and he couldn’t help the stiffness of his shoulders or the way his limbs felt shaky.

I swear I'll be done soon... ish💕

#asks #NMFY

[rosyandraw]

A couple of months ago I had an idea for a fantasy fic that I tried desperately to squash first capri and then other fandoms into but they didn't work and the character concepts and the idea got away from me

like waaaaay away. It got big. then bigger. And now I am sitting here balls deep in a project I never intended to start and let me just say

naming shit is hell.

So if you wonder where I've been I am alive and fine: just suffering under the stress of my own concept as I, apparently, attempt to write a novel.

lmaoooooo ffs

I've also written about 80k for various Capri things so dw it's still front and centre and I will finish everything I said I would

#I'm just spinning a few plates right now is all #Also i have seen your messages and i will respond i promise #love you all as always
