    Summary

    Sam breathes deeply before descending into the basement of the King Solomon. It’s become ritualistic to have to compose himself before seeing John. He can’t even remember when it started - if it was when he noticed the freckle that sat just below the collar of his pourpoint or the way he taps his fingers on the desk when he’s frustrated, maybe when he tilts his face to the sun with shut eyes as if to soak it all in while he could - but it was happening to him with no way to stop it.

    Summary

    His lips hovered by Hans’s ear, wrestling with the impossible desire to speak the one truth that trembled in him—to know if he was right. To know this was real. He clenched a fistful of shirt as if reaching for the very heart of him, and pressed his body flush to Hans’s hips. He whispered:

    “I think of you… in ways I shouldn’t.”

    Hans shuddered in his arms—growing harder still. His mouth fell open, and he didn’t even try to object. Oh God. It was true. He loved hearing that. His words.

    Summary

    But Henry doesn’t see the corporal at breakfast. Instead he sees him much sooner than that, when the cold kiss of a knife under his chin drags him from a bad dream into a worse one.

    “Don’t scream,” Crow says. “We need to talk.”

    Henry chases a spy in Sigismund's camp while desperately trying to maintain his own cover. The time he has left to solve a murder and escape with the Finger of God is running short. He's being watched, and he doesn't know who to trust. Betrayal looms.

    It all circles back to the same question:

    Who is Stephen Crow, and who does he work for?

    Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Lion's Den quest.

    Summary

    The clink of armour announces the arrival of the guards, and the hands that grab Henry are now gauntleted, which should shock some sense into him—but doesn't. He's insensate to reality; he needs to fight. Capon snatches Henry's shirt before the distance between them can grow, a strong grip, oddly desperate, one that clings and commands and claims him, and in the marrow of his bones Henry responds with a red-mist howl because yes, he gets it, yes: I'm not done yet. I'm not fucking done yet.

    Boys communicate best with their fists.

    Summary

    Henry doesn’t allow himself a final look.

    He wouldn’t call himself a superstitious man, by any means, but the thought of turning to watch Suchdol recede over his shoulder feels like it would be courting disaster. It’s foolish, really. Henry knows the fortress has endured trebuchet fire and hand cannons, its walls aren’t going to crack from a distant glance, but he can’t bring himself to turn his head.

    It’s too close to a goodbye, and he’s sworn those off for the time being.

    Summary

    For Hans, Henry’s conscience was as minor a sacrifice as all the bodies of the dead which Henry was willing to pile at his feet and all those which he already had. Like rabbits to the slaughter.

    Summary

    “Are you yanking my noble pizzle? I am a Lord, I do not share.”

    Hans’s voice rang out louder than he had meant to, disbelief and outrage seeping through. The man before him regarded him with tired eyes. Clearly, he had known this was coming and did not have the energy or patience to deal with it. Zizka leaned back in his chair before answering.

    “We’re all nobles here, Sir Hans. It doesn’t change the reality that we are besieged and there are more of us trapped in here than there are beds available. Even Pisek is sharing a bed and you’ll be no exception.”

    ___
    Or there was only one bed throughout the whole schudol siege because I love cliché tropes and had a vivid dream and now here we are.

    Summary

    “When Skalitz was attacked,” Hans says into the otherwise companionable silence, “you were where, again?”
    Henry strokes the side of his horse. There is no scent of ash on the wind. “With Pa, at first. Then he sent me to Radzig’s castle. Then I ran.”
    “Yes but- but where were you, exactly, when your parents were slain?” Hans says.
    “I’m not–” Henry looks at Hans’ profile. He can feel his brow knitting together, “What?”
    **
    After Suchdol, after siege, it seems almost normal to have restless dreams. Nightmares plague a mind challenged by the horrors of war, and Henry finds that he and Hans are plagued quite often.

    Summary

    Once again Love, that loosener of limbs, seizes me - sweetbitter, inescapable, crawling thing.
    Sappho fragment 130 (rayor 2014/2023 trans.)
    -
    Several times Hans thinks about Henry and his hands - a peasant’s hands, a page’s hands, a friend’s hands - and one time Hans doesn’t think and does something about those hands.

    Originally:

    Five time Hans thinks about Henry’s hands, and one time he does something about it.

    Summary

    "Are you cold?" Henry asked.

    Without armor, in hose and gambeson, he was still an imposing figure: tall and broad, hands stained with dirt and blood, jaw stubbornly stiff. His bare feet were a shock of white in the dirt. He held his helm with both hands, embracing the metal into his belly. His hair was damp with sweat. There was another string of bruises on his throat, shaped like two wide thumbs.

    Hans looked away. The tunic around Henry's knee had darkened. Blood was trickling into the dirt.

    Hans kills a man, prepares for a wedding, and tries to do at least one thing right.

    (Or: five times Hans and Henry didn't share a bed, and one time they did.)

    Summary

    Caught in a storm far from home, Hans and Henry seek shelter in a quiet inn near Sasau. What starts as a miserable night of soaked clothes and ruined pride slowly melts into something else - long-buried longing, quiet confessions, and a warmth they never found in any hearthfire. In the hush of night, skin to skin, they finally stop pretending.

    Summary

    Hans has always strived to live up to his noble title.
    Hans has always wanted to be useful and worthy of what he would one day inherit.

    However, his life changed drastically after he met Henry, and his efforts became more intense—especially in his desire not to be a burden, to be able to protect Henry in the same way Henry had protected him.

    That’s why archery training became his second home: relentless, consuming, the only thing that could define who he was—his one true talent.

    And yet, the mask he wore couldn't withstand the pressure. Those very training sessions began to crack something inside him, something he couldn’t control. Not until he and Henry are ambushed by a group of Cumans and become separated from the rest of their group.

    This story is a long journey into Hans’s psyche, a shifting blend of flashbacks and present events that delve deep into his character.

    Through it, Hans and Henry will lay bare their inner turmoil—and ultimately come to a conclusion.

    Summary

    “Well, well, well,” came the man’s grating tone, not unlike the scrape of a thousand little jagged rocks to inebriated ears. “What’ve we got here?”

    “What do you want?” Hans’ voice didn’t suggest that he was terribly impressed with the unwarranted intrusion either. Henry nodded his curt agreement, hoping that the overt —if not disconcertingly mobile—staleness of his facial features would convey his distaste. He'd have crossed his arms to emphasize this if the floor wasn't waving about below his boots.

    “See, I just find myself wondering,” Hynek replied, having come to rest a palm upon an adjacent table. His eyes were aglow within their sockets with the glint of mischief, and already, Henry did not want to hear whatever the robber baron was about to divulge.


    In which, Henry's three sheets to the wind when he's reminded that there's a Devil lurking in the Den…
