Watching their tentative friendship blossom into a loving, supportive relationship is like watching the sun slowly rising in the sky, feeling warmed by its rays. Leo is prickly, combative, snarky and hides the softest, sweetest, most marshmellowy center. Prince Joshua is a doll he is kind, down-to-earth, still a bit innocent about the world, and coddled by the most loving group of friends. What starts out as an abrasive, antagonistic beginning between the Prince and Leo transforms into a sweetly supportive slow-burn relationship. Leo is part of the team of fixers and Joshua is his "Princeling." A team of PR/professional fixers is called in to help manage the scandal. The story takes place in a fairytale-esque fictionalized version of Britain where the Queen of England has a gay son (nope, not THAT royalty mm book) who is threatened by a blackmailer with compromising photos. I've never read One Direction AU, but I enjoy imaging Harry and Louis playing lead roles in this version. This story has its origins in the author's earlier One Direction AU (AO3). Wow! This was so good! Zarah Detand has been on my radar for YEARS (and I am side-eyeing and critically judging myself for not reading her work sooner). Happily ever after, isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?”
