    Summary

    Henry has been tasked with rebuilding Pribyslavitz, and he recruits Sir Hans to help him. It is no simple undertaking however, and Henry has much emotional and physical exhaustion creeping up on him. His path is paved with violence. The Lord of Pirkstein in turn has a lot to prove, but a lot to learn.

     

    From Henry’s journal:

    Sir Divish has appointed me bailiff of Pribyslavitz. I can hardly believe it! Together with Locator Marius we'll oversee the resettling.

    I am excited. And nervous. I must do this right. This is the good break I have wanted for the others. I do what I can, but employing a handful and giving them a portion of the groschen I scrounge up only goes so far. Alms cannot replace belonging, and try as we might, Rattay will forever see us as outsiders, refugees. Leeches. I can give them a HOME. It will never replace Skalitz. But it will be their own.

    I’ll need help, more than just Locator Marius.

    Sir Hans always tells me how bored he is. I could ask his help, no doubt he has education on running a town. But it wouldn’t be proper. He is heir to Rattay, his lordship shouldn’t concern with some ruins in nowhere. I’m not sure I’d trust his words of wisdom, in any case.

    Summary

    Henry works at a café, while keeping his civilian life anonymous from his viral biker TikTok account.

    Hans is the nepo-baby heir to a bank, while finding what fleeting joy he can in clubs in the arms of strangers. Unbeknownst to him, he's an avid follower of Henry's account.

    One late morning, Hans is having a terrible, not-very-good wake up on the way to work. He pops in at a café for breakfast - a café where Henry works as a barista. Henry in turn is having a very usual day, up until a pompous entitled suit cuts in the line. A suit whose cocky face lights up with genuine delight at the lavish drinks Henry makes.

    Two frappés and a couple of days later there's a spark in the air between them.

    A spark that later finds them together in the local gay nightclub. They burn fast, they burn bright, and a connection neither can deny welds between them.

    Summary

    Barney Calhoun is a security officer tired to the bone. He has an easy, stable job, a stable income and good colleagues he could call his friends. Life has a routine to it. He has it better than many do. Yet his easy job consists of him fixing squeaky chairs and scientists belittling him. He can't shake the empty feeling stubbornly stuck right in his chest.

    Gordon Freeman is a freshly graduated theoretical physicist, hailed with honors and plucked from the academic life by recommendation of his old mentor, Dr. Kleiner. Instead of contributing to achievements that could make lasting impacts on the future, his intellect is constantly questioned and he is handed menial tasks, by virtue of not being able to speak but to a handful of people. Somedays he feels like he's not even part of the human race anymore.

    Chance meetings and vent crawlings borne out of frustration later Gordon finds himself whisked into the security team's social circles.

    Summary

    Gordon Freeman takes a day off work to attend an appointment outside Black Mesa. He navigates everyday situations while trying not to seem like a dumb, tardy mute to everyone.

    ----

    From the dawning look of understanding and sympathy on her face, Gordon was once again affirmed that it was instantly, readily accepted that it was a physical disability preventing him from speaking. That he was a normal guy despite not talking. That he didn't have a humiliating mental lock that had persisted since childhood.

    Summary

    His voice vibrates tentatively off the ruined road, and he sees Deacon’s brows lowering to furrow behind the lenses. Was this stupid? Most definitely. But being stupid was a trait he had begun to pick off from the master of silliness. This was him returning Deacon’s jokes, right? No, not really. His heart was leaping. His vocal chords begged to be used. A singer’s curse.

    Summary

    “I don’t get you. You’re young and don’t look too shabby. I could see you with a spunky gal or guy. Instead you’d choose to spend your time with a wrinkly old sack of potatoes and- and call it beautiful.”

    Summary

    Deacon’s told him dozens of times to keep his guard up. Marcus was a good student, but when these moods of his hit there was no stopping him. Insistent on catching his muse instead of catching the glint of a sniper scope.
