    Summary

    The year was 1383 when a blond boy – Sir Hans Capon – was born as heir to Rattay.

    And despite common practice among the nobility, Lord Henry of Pirkstein, father of the child, did not snuff out his son's life upon discovering he was a nymph, and instead, decided to keep the nature of his son hidden. A decision his brother, Sir Hanush of Leipa, dared not question, even years after his brother’s tragic passing.

    However, in the year 1403, when a mere blacksmith's boy was forcibly assigned to be the page of the young lord, Hans Capon, all it took was a single hunting trip to send a secret on its path to unravelling. A secret that Castle Pirkstein had fought hard to keep for twenty long years.

    Summary

    Henry doesn’t belong here even more now than when he stood here the first time, a blacksmith boy in his tattered clothes, with his sloppy bows and the words that tripped over one another on the way out of his mouth.

    Before each night he prays to see the good. The warm gentle memories that he made in the narrow crevices between the sorrow and despair. Of his mother’s kind smile, and his father's approving gaze. Of the first time he kissed a girl, all jittery nerves and excitement. Of the last time he kissed a boy, consumed with the feeling of love, and how he counted the golden specks in his blues eyes as they lay in each other’s embrace only hours before Henry’s first death.

    He shouldn’t pray for the last. He should burn for this sin. But instead he keeps living on only to die again.

    Summary

    Henry flushed, crossing his arms. "It's not that! Plenty of girls liked me! It's, er, well my pizzle, it's—"

    "Eurgh!" exclaimed Sir Hans, leaping away from him with his finger pointed accusingly. "Your peasant pizzle is diseased! I should have known!" He crossed himself hurriedly, then said, "How dare you get anywhere near me with that, now I've got to go have another visit to the baths—"

    "No!" Henry protested, "I'm not diseased! It's too big, it is!"

    Or, Henry of Skalitz has never had sex on account of being overendowed. For some reason, Sir Hans Capon decides to make it his problem.

    Summary

    As Executioner he would be a pariah, an outcast. Radzig would never have to look upon the living face of his most embarrassing mishap for as long as he lived. Henry would be off, tucked away; safely outside the confines of town and hidden from the eyes of the world. Not even the latrine diggers would see him...

    ___________
    After the sack of Skalitz, Henry approaches his father, the noble Sir Radzig, for aid. Though rather than taking on the mantle of squirehood, Henry instead finds himself shunted into the ostracised position of Rattay's local executioner - a perfect locale for hiding one's motifying baseborn son.

    Exciled and outcast, Henry lives for many years alone. Until a chance meeting with a young nobleman changes everything...

    Summary

    Maybe downing an unlabeled potion tasting of vile ash and blood at the end of a successful battle might not have been the best idea. But he did. Curse his morbid curiosity. He’d even fucking seen the odd ingredients and weird runes written in the odd books he’d pilfered from the workbench. But had it stopped him? Of course not. Into the bag those books had gone and down the hatch the liquid went.

    Now the helmet calls, while a devilish idea brews.

    He’s done it once, after all. What’s to stop him from doing it twice? Aside from the shame, the public humiliation, and the promise of execution should he be caught. But really, what won’t Henry do to give his lord the freedom he so desperately needs, even if that path to freedom is paved with brimstone? There is no list shorter.
