If you've never heard of the original slash fic Captive Prince by the genius that is
freece, let me tell you that this is a fic that can generate up to 5 pages of comments for a single chapter.
That's 5 pages people!. That should tell you something about the quality of writing.
Author's summary: Damen is the true heir to the throne, but when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity and sent to serve the Prince of a rival nation as a pleasure slave. Rated R, Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is a WIP.
This is no bog standard harem fic, not by a long chalk. The characters are complex, as is the plot, the UST burns slowly and perfectly. Remember, up to 5 pages of comments for a single chapter folks.
