    Summary

    After his mother's death, seventeen-year-old Prince Laurent of Vere is sent to the neighboring kingdom of Akielos to wed the Crown Prince Damianos and forge a bond of peace between the two countries. But his uncle, the Ambassador to Akielos, has other ideas. When Laurent's closest friend Aimeric betrays and impersonates him, Laurent finds himself forced to hide his identity and rely on the gift his mother gave him - the ability to speak to animals - in order to survive in the frightening new world of Akielos and reclaim his crown.

    (a.k.a. The Goose Girl AU, based off of the Grimm's fairy tale & the book by Shannon Hale.)

    Summary

    Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.

    He breaks the surface.

    His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.

    “Naiad,” a voice says.

    Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.

    ---

    On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

    Summary

    Damen did not resent that Laurent needed his time. Damen, of course, would take a knife to the gut before he left Laurent alone after any sort of bedplay where he was giving the orders, but that was Laurent. Damen had done this sort of thing before, and was accustomed to it, and did not need coddling, in any case, until or unless Laurent wanted to give it. So Damen was going to stay still, and count, and not be foolish.
