Books like The Summer Palace
The Summer Palace
Imagine giving this less than 5 stars, can't relate___Reread before The Adventures Of Charls:I honestly need a different rating system for the Captive Prince books because there's no way this is ONLY a five starsOriginal review:If this was still 2016, I would be writing something like "Yuri On Ice and The Summer Palace saved 2016". As it happens, this is 2017, so allow me to say:Whatever shit will happen this year, whatever nuclear war is waiting for us, The Summer Palace single-handedly, retroactively saved 2017. I can't believe this is officially canon Lamen fluff. This is fluff that out-fluffs every single piece of fluff out there, but it's not cheesy, it's not gratuitous, it's not without meaning, because it's fucking Damen and Laurent we're talking about, okay?Every soft moment has been earned through a path of loss and pain and regret and conflict and healing and slowly trusting each other. So let the fluff gates open, let my babies be together, let them walk naked through Akielon palaces, (view spoiler)[let Laurent put a fucking flower in Damen's hair and wash him and kneel to him, let him talk to the statue of Damen's mother and say,"I'll take care of your son, I'll protect his kingdom as if it were my own. I'll give my life for his people." (hide spoiler)]
