NATHAN BOUTS PLAYING A CHARACTER NAMED LUCAS ON A NEW SERIES WRITTEN BY THE WTFOCK WRITERS???? I HATE IT HERE!

i seriously can't stop missing you

here is the last bit I’ve written of the new chapter for anyone actually waiting:

“You—both of you—must think I have forgotten the terms of this agreement, or that I haven’t noticed how easily you ignore them. Where is your guard at the moment, hm?”

Jens went to speak through the panic clogging his throat, but Lucas beat him to it. “The ones posted outside the door are very aware that I’m here. They know who I am. All your guards do. Though I’m sure, in this case, they’re perfectly unnecessary. Both His Highness and yourself are more than capable of taking care of yourselves, in the case that I did pose a threat, but I would have hoped by now you have gained some assurance that I am not.”

“Why exactly would you think that?”

“Because I have had every opportunity to harm your son and I have not,” Lucas said plainly. Jens didn’t think that was the best argument, and his panic thickened by the second. Then Lucas looked over at him, and he realised something. Lucas may not have been waxing the best plea for himself, but he was being completely earnest. There was no hint of his usual snark or sarcasm, no glimpse of his steely defiance in his expression. In fact, it was open and warm—as if Lucas wasn’t thinking about crafting an argument for himself at all, but simply, for once, stating how he truly felt. “It may surprise myself as much as it would surprise you, but I have in fact come to the understanding that I would first take the opportunity to protect him from any harm, if I could.”

He might have been still speaking to Ellis, but he was still looking at Jens.

plus a hint of what is likely to be my favourite scene in the whole fic, which I haven’t actually written yet but have jotted some things down for:

“You deserve to have everything you want.”

(hi just talking to myself here don’t mind me <3)

list of van der stoffels fics i want to write/have inspo for:

(yes. van der stoffels. i’m aware i’m the only one probably still hyperfixated on them but i need to create storage for all my little thoughts on them)

“before sunset” au (because them meeting by chance and spending the night together for escapism is so them??? need i say more??)

a possible lucas season (will work this one out a lot but i would like to write his season- it would either be a stand alone or a possible parallel to the jens season fic?? that sounds fun)

(POTENTIALLY) a fantasy au with the whole past lives concept + lucas being anti monarchy and jens is the prince (basically an extension of a one shot)

one in which they meet years later and it starts off at some cafe with very ambiguous emotions and conversations (i only have the title set up for this and it’s good enough to make me want to write more)

maybe a university/roommates sort of vibes one (this would probably be a bit more light hearted than the rest but still fun)

a couple more one shots probably (if i have the time and inspo)

(i am still very much here for my beloved lucas and jens and at this point it’s a sort of love that knows no end- and neither do the fics apparently)
