    Summary

    And there it was.

    Sitting innocuously on page 26, was a photo strip that looked it had been taken from a photo booth.

    On the right, Nicaise absently recognized Damen. He was maybe a few years younger, and a lot more happy. His face was practically glowing in contentment.

    On the left—

    On the left was Laurent. Also younger, also happy.

    or: Nicaise buys some secondhand textbooks for cheap. He just hadn’t expected to find a photo of Laurent and a stranger together in it.

    Summary

    The sunset of Akielos was approaching, and Nikandros would rather throw himself off a cliff than let his soul-brother be stabbed in the back by his own blood.

    So he made the most desperate decision of all.

     

    He would speak with Damianos’ husband.

    Summary

    “I’m so glad you’re here, Nicaise. When I arrived at Arles and–”
    “How long is he going to be here?” Nicaise cut him off. He’d rather throw himself off a cliff than hear more of Laurent’s lies.
    Laurent’s eyebrows furrowed. “Who?”
    “The Akielon.”
    “As long as I want him.”
    “Which is?”
    “Forever, I think.”

    Nicaise survives, but things don't get easier. Plagued by his memories, he has Laurent to take care of him and he should be happy, but Damen's shadow lingers over him, ready to steal the only person he loves. Nicaise must act quickly if he wants to break them apart.

    Summary

    When Damen marries Laurent, it is not a question of love. It is mere obligation that has brought them together, in attempt to finally bring peace to their respective kingdoms. But as war breaks out on their first day of marriage, Damen has no choice but to leave Laurent behind.

    Ten months later, he returns to Ios as a father of a princess he has yet to meet, and to a wife that is still a stranger to him.

    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.
