Summary
After a misunderstanding derailed the prospect of negotiations between Vere and Akielos, the princes of the two countries began scheming to find a way to return their parents to the table. When their parents became suspicious of any contact the princes had with each other, Laurent decided the best strategy for communication was for him and Damen to pretend to be courting.

Summary
Laurent lives a life of quiet routine, until the day a few ill-chosen words, his uncle's malice, and his own inability to back down from a challenge see him wagering half his fortune on an impossible journey to the ends of the earth and back. Happily, or perhaps unhappily, his newly-hired valet is making the journey with him and has plenty of opinions about where they should go, what they should do, and de Vere himself.

Summary
I really wanted to write something short that focused on how extremely normal and regular their every interaction is.
Set a couple of years after canon, to fit in some off-screen character development that'd allow for this level of emotional maturity.
