So the last few days have been FULL OF FEELINGS FOR FICTIONAL PEOPLE OH MY GOD. Firstly, this week's Elementary completely slayed me, as in reducing me to blubbering tears, because Sherlock Holmes, y'all. Johnny Lee Miller is SPECTACULAR and has ruined me for BBC Sherlock (but not Downey!Sherlock, c'mon, RDJ > the universe

OKAY SO LAURENT KNOWS, RIGHT? THIS WAS HIS PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING, RIGHT?

[foxxcub]

SCREAM OH GOD THANK YOU, YES, I HAVE BEEN CONVINCED SINCE THE END OF THE FIRST BOOK THAT HE KNOWS. HE HAS TO.

[philosiraptors]

ALSO IF HE DOES KNOW IT MAKES THE FIGHT THEY HAVE AT THE END OF THE SECOND BOOK (WHERE LAURENT IS LIKE, I'M GLAD THEY'RE ALL DEAD, WISH I COULD HAVE DONE IT MYSELF) EVEN MORE AWESOME/TERRIBLE/AWESOME.

[foxxcub]

RIGHT?? LIIIIIIIKE, WHY WOULD HE THROW OUT BARBS ABOUT THE KING "SPREADING HIS LEGS" FOR A MISTRESS IF HE DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD TOTALLY HURT DAMEN?? THERE WAS NO REASON TO SAY THAT IF HE THOUGHT DAMEN WAS JUST A HIGH RANKING SOLDIER.

[misspamela]

Because look at the ending of the second book! The troops will follow Damen!!!

[foxxcub]

YESSSSSSSSSS. LEAVING IT IN THE ~HANDS OF THE ENEMY, OH GOD MY HEART.

[philosiraptors]

I TOTALLY DIDN'T THINK THAT THE FIRST TIME I READ IT BUT THE MORE I REREAD IT (WHICH IS OFTEN, LBR, I AM OBSESSED) I THINK HE DOES. SOMETHING ABOUT HIS REACTION THE FIRST TIME HE SEES DAMEN (AND THEN SHOWS UP LATER DRUNK, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN). UGHRGHRUGH WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[foxxcub]

I MEAN, THERE ARE JUST LITTLE THINGS THAT LAURENT SAYS THAT GIVES IT AWAY, I THINK?? LIKE WHEN DAMEN FINDS OUT LAURENT IS SUPER AWESOME AT SWORDFIGHTING AND THAT HE'S BEEN TRAINING SINCE HE WAS A KID, AND LAURENT'S LIKE, "I HAD TO TRAIN IF I WAS GOING TO FIGHT DAMIANOS," AND HE'S ALL...HESITANT WITH SAYING IT, WHICH DUDE, IT'S LAURENT, HE'S NOT HESITANT ABOUT SAYING FUCK ALL.

[philosiraptors]

AND ADMITTING THAT DAMEN IS STILL BETTER THAN HIM. UGHHGHH I LOVE BOTH OF THEM, ALTHOUGH DAMEN BABY I AM NOT SURE HOW CLEARLY LAURENT HAS TO SPELL HIS CHILDHOOD TRAUMA OUT FOR YOU, YOU ARE ACTUALLY A VERY SMART DUDE, PUT THOSE PIECES TOGETHER BEFORE I PUNCH YOU IN THE SKULL FOR BEING SO OBTUSE.

what is going to happen when laurent comes baaaaaaackkkrkrughwlr

[foxxcub]

Yeeeeeeeeah, I am waiting for Damen to realize that, ugh, Laurent's celibacy is due to the fact that HIS CREEPSTER, DOUCHENOZE UNCLE MOLESTED HIM AS A KID. ;____;

[drelfina]

omg i'm not the only one to think that. The comments in the chapters online seem to gloss over it SO MUCH that I thought i was a creeper to think that DOUCHEBAG UNCLE had been fucking Laurent as a child, when he was too young to know better.

OMG does no one care, they all are instead LOL LAURENT U BROTHER FUCKER and then are so surprised when laurent stabes them in the face.

It's like, how can Damen not notice.

I AM SO HOPEFUL LAURENT KNOWS. PLEASE LAURENT, YOU MUST KNOW SO THAT THIS DOESN'T COME AS YET ANOTHER SHOCK.

[foxxcub]

HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE IT, IT'S SO OBVIOUS!!! :(

[drelfina]

Unless Uncle Douchecanoe is so good at powerplays and shit that he has dazzled the court into thinking that Laurent must be Everything Bad.

Surely they must know that Nicaise was his pet!

I cannot decide if pedophilia is a bad thing or not in Vere, because everyone's all DUN CARE with Nicaise around, but when poor Nicaise died and Laurent made his declaration that his uncle could kill all the children across the country just means less people to fuck, everyone was So Shocked.

[foxxcub]

(ahaha I meant readers of the story, but yes!)

I know! I...tend to think they don't think it's that much of a taboo, at least nothing like bastards.

[drelfina]

(ahaha yes, I am not sure maybe everyone were just avoiding the topic!)

Perhaps it's okay to child-fuck, you just don't be all OBVIOUS about it.

Oh god all the hints about laurent and his uncle, how when Laurent was younger he'd travel with his uncle, and how when he was 15 he was drop-dead gorgeous, and when he was thirteen he claimed he was so green and innocent he could have been led around by the nose.

I'm still not sure that Laurent made BAD MISTAKES in Book 1, but he certainly isn't the Ultimate Strategist that Damen thought/thinks he is.

Laurent DOES plan ahead, so it has to be possible that he knows Damen is Daminos?

Or maybe he knows DEEP DOWN and just doesn't acknowledge it? D:

because like someone said earlier, why be so crude and cruel about Kastor and his mistress, if Damen was merely a guard, right? it'd only make sense and hurt Damen if he was closer related to Kastor.

[arrghigiveup]

*blinks* actually the readers of the online version caught on to it really quickly and have been wailing about Damen's thickness just as much.
