Summary
Recklessly, though he knew he was courting the whipping post, Damen forged on. "You trust no one. Even men who would help you, even men who would follow you, even men who would love you." He paused a moment, knowing his next words were his most dangerous yet. "You don't have to do it alone."
Laurent had finally straightened in his chair, his knuckles white where they clenched around his cup. "I have only ever been alone," he spat. His eyes bored into Damen, a challenge and a threat. "Ever since Damianos of Akielos met my brother on the field at Marlas and cut him down, I have been alone."
*****
Damen, still a slave, is falling in love with Laurent, and, against all of his instincts, Laurent is falling in love with him too. Unfortunately, they don't know how to deal with that at all. There's lots of staring and general pining.
This is my own recreation of the time after Nesson-Eloy, because I will never be over the two of them trying to figure out who they are to each other. It takes the place of the last half of Prince's Gambit and all of Kings Rising, so although there are similar events, the story unravels differently.

Laurent is the editor in chief of Acquitart Publishing. He is high-powered, ruthless, and has just found out that his visa has been denied. Desperate and erratic, he forces his assistant Damen into marrying him to avoid deportation and to keep his position.
Damen begrudgingly accepts, but not without a few conditions of his own, one of them being a week in Akielos for his mother’s birthday where Laurent can meet the family and they can announce their engagement together.

It's been two years since Damen and Laurent broke up after a series of stupid mistakes and miscommunications. Everything changes at Jord and Nikandros' wedding when Damen gets drunker than normal, reveals some things, and leaves Laurent with questions.
Includes fights, pining, forgiveness, and lots and lots of love. We just kind of have to work for it first. -
