    Summary

    “I’m here, Henry, you’re–” he swallows, “You’re going to be okay.”

     

    Henry lets out a terrible, wheezing croaking sound.

     

    It takes Hans too long to realise that he’s laughing.


    When he captures Henry after the fateful duel with Erik, Markvart von Aulitz gives Zizka an ultimatum: hand over the silver, or Henry starts losing fingers.

    Weeks later, when Hans rides back to Suchdol with the might of an army behind him, he finds Henry in a state far worse than Von Aulitz's threats implied.

    With Henry's recovery on the line, Hans vows to find out how things went so wrong so quickly.

    Summary

    It is the final day of the siege of Suchdol. Judgement Day, some would call it later on. The Praguers' camp had been razed to the ground by reinforcements arriving from Rattay: with Markvart dead, the rest of their forces flee.

    Yet, despite being taken back, no victorious hymns echo through the fort. Mortal silence falls upon them: in the heart of the inner courtyard, Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein kneels, unmoving, on the blood-soaked ground. No words reach him—no hands are strong enough to pull him away. Those who try to approach him cross themselves: the young lord is blind to the world.

    It is only Father Godwin’s prayer that breaks through; his palms shaking, spread over Hans’ head: Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua.

     

    Fiat voluntas tua, he repeats, and waits.

     

    Sicut in cælo et in terra, Hans finishes, his voice breaking. He raises his eyes for the briefest moment—as Godwin kneels down to gently pry his hands away.

    Henry’s body in his arms is already cold.

    Summary

    "Shall we?”

    “We? What d’you mean, we?”

    “I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”

    Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.

    It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?

    Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

    Summary

    For a long time, God has forgotten about Henry. But one day, he's certain, the sword will fall.

    A deeply emotional rebuild of the siege of Suchdol with a revised final beat, intended for a Hans and Henry who have already said it all. Established relationship, beauty and grief, a hard punch with a (trust me) happy ending. One big shot.
