Reviews for The Dark Prince's Desire

    Hello, I know this might sound strange but this Darkos fanfic was truly the story I have been looking for. When I first watched the Arthur and the Invisibles movie I honestly hated it. I loved the art however, the character designs especially that of M and Darkos. Still, I always thought the first film snubbed Darkos and M from having a truly interesting and complex relationship. Especially so as Darkos is the product of M's "mistakes." Yet another reminder (besides M's face that is) of how irresponsible and thoughtless he can be. It's not Darkos's fault he was born, but he's here alive and willing to love his dad. The second film did even LESS to address Darkos or M for that matter, but then there's the third film.

    Out of all the Arthur movies, IMO, the third movie was the best and it was a great moment for Darkos.

    Which was odd in some ways.

    Darkos was not established as a character, you know? He was the 'brainless' villain, the type that tends to be my least favorite kind of character. You know what I'm talking about? The villains who are just mere "thugs," who don't make up any plans of their own, and/or have any character development. Essentially they are canon fodder. And for the first two movies it felt like Darkos WAS canon fodder, that he was replaceable. We as the audience were meant to think of Darkos in the same way that M has ALWAYS thought of him: as useless. It was the third film that truly alters this perception. It is then we see Darkos having regrets, goals, making bad decisions, and showing weakness. He wanted his father's love so much that he betrayed Arthur to get it, and in his awe M predictably stabbed him the back. At that point, you could feel Darkos's true regret. That there was no hope of reconciling with his dad and as you've written, perhaps he never wanted it to begin with. I honestly never thought I'd see a fanfic use his character in ANY means other than as a "brainless thug" the movies have established him as.

    As a person who loves reading erotic fanfiction I am more than pleased that there is at least ONE story with this underrated character. A character who always deserved better.

    It of course crossed my 'shipping' mindset when first seeing Darkos's reaction to Rose in the third film. How in awe of her he was, how Darkos looked and reacted to Rose so gently. And even though Rose wasn't in her right mindset at the time, the words she spoke were like seeing into a possible crack pairing future. How kind she was to Darkos, how her words felt like she reciprocated these possibly romantic feelings. Naturally, being a fan of these movies are troublesome as the Arthur Trilogy is basically unknown, plus me liking an even more underated character (Darkos), in addition to supporting a COMPLETELY crack pairing as Darkos/Rose, I realistically thought there would never be a story about them. ESPECIALLY a story as wonderfully written and in-character as yours right here. I know it has been a while since you've updated, but I had to say my peace. It would be nothing short of a miracle if you could continue this. At least to ONE more chapter for the pairings' sake. You've probably abandoned this account. If not, I want to let you know that you have a fan of this pairing, and if you ever want to e-mail me regarding the story, I am here to listen. Perhaps if it's too much to work on by yourself, maybe I could lend a hand? Co-write or Beta it? I know this is so forward, but I cannot believe that this pairing exists, that this STORY exists. If you want to see what I've written before you can find me on fanfiction.net under the penname Banquo'sGhost to check out my style. Thank you again for writing such a wonderful story, and I look forward to seeing more work from you, whether in this series or another.
