Green but for a Season by C.S. Pacat
5.0

"He's my King," Jord said.

Green but for a Season is a short story that fits into the middle of Prince's Gambit, and details the budding relationship between Jord and Aimeric, as well as offering a bit of insight into Jord's past and the Prince's teen years.

There were two heads bent together over the map, one dark-haired, the other blond.

I loved Jord's character during the trilogy, so it was precious enough to see things from his perspective, but my favorite part of the short story was absolutely getting to see not only his opinions of Laurent - who saved him from a life of low-born disgrace at a young age, thus earning Jord's undying love and allegiance - but also getting to see his observations of Laurent and Damen's interactions with one another. What an absolutely adorable addition to the story. <3
