    Summary

    "To mourn means to have been loved before. Grief is having so much love, and not knowing where to put it now they are gone. I will love you until my dying breath." Hans whispered in his ear. "You have saved countless lives Henry. Your Ma, and Pa, would be proud of you. For the people you have saved. They love you even in death. And their love is known through the air we breathe."

    or

    After the battle of Suchdol, grief finally catches up to Henry. Hans attempts to comfort him.

    Summary

    “Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”

    A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”

    He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

    Summary

    There’s no flattering way to mention that there are times that it feels like there is something rotten beneath his skin, that the only way to get it out would be to peel it off.
    So he doesn’t.


    Henry doesn't have the words for why his nightmares are as often about sex as they are about bloody battles, or why dancing with pretty girls sometimes makes him feel like he's dying. And if he doesn't understand it himself, how can he possibly expect anyone else to?
    or
    Five times Henry doesn't understand that what Doubravka did to him was wrong, and one time Hans helps him realise it was.

    Summary

    After the fall of Suchdol, Henry and Hans find themselves surrounded by the ashes of war — and the even more dangerous ashes of their own choices. In a world built on loyalty, blood, and silence, they must face not only the enemies outside, but the truths between them.

    Victory may have been won, but the real battle has only just begun — and no armor can shield a heart already laid bare.

     

    (chapter 5 was so emotionally tough to write but i think it’s fucking amazing????)
