A little compilation of my favorite Laurianos pictures I painted between 2016-2018. When I first picked up Captive Prince, I would have never imagined I’d draw Damen and Laurent so many times. They motivated me to become a better artist, so I carry these characters in my heart and I am very thankful for them. ♡

“I have never been so happy in my life. I love him, gods forgive me, I love him and I want to be with him. Damen Martell, can you even imagine?”
- Sun and Spear, Peach and PetalFor @steelestingray, for making the A Song of Ice and Fire AU come true…it’s all I’ve ever wanted and more! I’m so sad the story has come to an end and I already miss it, just as I will miss all of our nightly conversations about songs, tournaments and peaches…
A ‘Captive Prince x A Song of Ice and Fire’ AU
He is skilled, he is hot-blooded, he collects his bastards like stray kittens - and he is the Prince of Dorne. But even somebody like Damianos Martell can manage to step into a nest of vipers. He did exactly that when he accidentally crippled the eldest Tyrell son, Auguste, in a tournament, pissing off the whole lot of Highgarden. Auguste Tyrell is not only their heir, but one of the last Blackfyres through his maternal line. And some people want to believe it wasn’t an accident at all…
Despite the rumours and his family bearing a deep grudge against the Martells, Auguste and Damianos quickly became friends after the accident. Even his little brother, Laurent, eventually warmed up after endless months of vicious stares. Tyrell’s little rose turns out to be brilliantly witty, more thorns than petals. Yet, he blushes prettily whenever Auguste teases him with an embarrassing childhood story, in which Laurent thought for the longest time (because of the old Targaryen/Blackfyre traditions) he is to marry his own brother as a grown up, telling every adult complimenting him that he is already promised. The Dornish prince cannot help but to grow fond of the brothers.
Years later, Damianos emerges victoriously in another tournament and is to crown his Queen of Love and Beauty. There’s a flood of shocked gasps going through the crowd when he places the winter roses on Laurent Tyrell’s head, the flowers as blue as his eyes. “Why,” Damianos proclaimes, “it’s all the grace and courtesy he deserves.”
Since then, Damianos has had quite the reputation for letting tournaments turn out scandalously!
EDIT: The lovely @steelestingray wrote a fanfic based on this AU~
