    Summary

    They both knew it was goodbye that night in Suchdol. Henry had saved them all, though the one person he could not save was himself. He would later rise from the earth, changed entirely and doomed to linger at the edges of his old life.

    Hans Capon tried to move on. He had buried his secret lover with honour, though the grave itself defied all notions of logic. Flowers never withered. Candles placed on that soil never burned down. Even the rain could not smother the flames. Stranger still - a curse befell Rattay - a never ending rain and unexplainable happenings leaving townsfolk missing, dead or changed.

    When Hans’ young son befriended a raven with an uncanny intelligence, what more could he see but an omen of death?

    On Heinrich’s fifteenth birthday, his wish was simple but perilous; to uncover the truth behind the curse that gripped Rattay, and the darkness that haunted his father. They would set forth, following the crumbs of a presence older and hungrier than they dared to imagine - and into the path of the one who had never truly left them.

    Summary

    Thoughts swirl around John like he swirls his wine in its cup, airing it out. With time and atmosphere, the wine will change and so will the thoughts. Nothing makes it past him unscathed. Even Sam will eventually be hurt or transformed by his actions. By the secrets.

     

    John slowly loses control over burnt letters and subterfuge, foreign wine, ink stains and ash and Sam’s hand, resting on the table, close enough to touch again.

    Summary

    The water is calm, reflecting her easily, a vision of a ghost, a warrior, a scared little girl, a liar and a murderer, and other things she hasn’t yet given a name, hasn’t dared look at too closely. Fighting, blood, bruises, aimless violence taking aim. Spying and subterfuge. This is what Radzig wants, and what she has to do to get what she wants. The only thing that matters. Revenge at any cost. Her father’s sword. It is the only thing. Isn’t it?

    His face flashes to the forefront of her mind, blue eyes, golden hair, matching the gold of his beautiful pourpoint, and she thinks of something other than the blood and the violence. Something a little softer. Something slightly more real.

     

    A girl dies in the ashes of Skalitz. Something else rises in her place.

    Summary

    “Do you remember what you told me before that battle?”

    Henry’s eyes search his. Hans knows that he knows although he says, “Remind me.”

    “You told me that courage in the face of fear is a knightly virtue,” Hans says, kicking at a loose pebble at his feet. It skitters between them, settling just shy of Henry’s boots. “And that being brave is something that you have to learn.”

    Henry kicks the stone back. “Are you afraid now?”

     

    Opportunities present themselves at the siege of Suchdol, and love makes Hans brave.

    Summary

    Quos amor verus tenuit tenebit
    ✹ Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding ✹

    For Sir Hans Capon, life has already changed so much these past few months since meeting Henry. Now one simple adventure to deliver a letter to Trosky will surely have no broader consequences for this pair of lovers?

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