    Summary

    A lurch in his stomach, like the moment of dark surprise when he misses a step going down the stairs. It soon turns into a gnawing sensation, a memory of hunger that seems to be there always, although Hans has since always had enough to eat. Hunger for touch. For Henry. For their desperate fumbling in his borrowed bed in the fortress. For more time together, despite the busy days that followed them in the Kuttenberg region after the siege, and then returning home to plan this, their great escape, their last chance.

     

    Rattay, Vienna, Sofia, Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem. Hans and Henry on pilgrimage to the Holy Land on borrowed time, through six cities, in six states of sin and sanctity.

    Chapter six: dust from the holy sepulcher / absolution / jerusalem

    Summary

    Omnia vincit amor et nos cedamus amori
    ✹ Love conquers all things;
    Let us yield too to love ✹

    For Sir Hans Capon, there is very little left to want for. He has his titles, his freedom and a beautiful wife.

    And yet he is still most unhappy.

    But then a familiar face unexpectedly arrives back into his life, with another letter that will change everything...

    A series of vignettes set after the events of KCD2 that asks the brave question of "What if they were secretly married (and also loved each other) (and also banged) from the start?"

    ✹ Chapter 1 contains commissioned artwork ✹

    Summary

    Dozens of people have touched him this way, from nursemaids to bathhouse girls. Hell, he was manhandled bare-arsed into a tub only moments ago without so much as blinking. There’s no reason for Henry’s touch to feel like this. To make Hans feel like this. But it’s nice, God, it’s nice, Henry’s big blacksmith’s mitts impossibly gentle as he loosens the blood from Hans’s hair.

    For the first time since taking that decoction, his heart kicks in his chest, hard enough that his pulse jumps noticeably under his neck. 

    And elsewhere.

    Summary

    “Have you ever thought,” Henry began, once they had settled back into place, all of Hans’ pointy bits corralled by Henry’s arms, “about doin’ it like y’do with women?”

    Hans had imagined some question about a new grip for a sword, or a new deer track Henry wanted to investigate, or a new antic he wanted to unleash on the Hangman’s Halter. Not that.

    Though none of those would have made him flush as he did before asking.

    “Taking it up the arse, you mean?”

    Henry and Hans, new to relationships with men and with very little prior experience between them, decide to try something often joked about, but never fully described. Things don’t go as smoothly as planned.

    Summary

    Henry never imagined that vengeance would not fall upon him, but upon the person he loves.

    Hans is kidnapped by Erik and turned into the instrument of a slow and cruel punishment,
    designed to strike where it hurts the most. Through torture and humiliation,
    Erik tries to fill the void left by Istvan’s loss, convinced that another’s pain can balance his own.

    He never imagined that his thirst for revenge would only deepen the emptiness he was trying to fill.

    This fic is inspired by Brilcrist’s artwork for Rarepairs2026 and Whumptober
