    Summary

    "See? I just knew it," Hans says, poking Henry's chest. "I knew you’d be too damn hairy. Look at all this. You're practically a barbarian."

    Henry's snort is fond when it leaves his lungs, more exhale than sound. "You're hairy too," he offers graciously, flicking his eyes down a pale chest. His memory conjures up images of blond tufts—darkened with water, clustered beneath a navel, peeking coyly from under an armpit—before he banishes them. "It's just hard to see on your arms and legs, cause your hair is so fine. It makes your skin look soft," he adds, crazily, airing a thought that should have been kept barred and bolted.

    "Do you think about my skin often, blacksmith's boy?"

    "No." Henry is distracted; Hans's finger is twisting around his chest hair, an entirely new sensation for Henry's body. His spine tingles. "Maybe. I dunno."

    Hans keeps insisting that Henry share his bed. A very normal and platonic thing to do.

    Summary

    Ištván turned without another word and stepped back through the chapel doors, into the smoke-laced morning chill. The sky was pale with dawn now, weak light seeping through clouds and heavy mist, revealing the remains of what had still been a village before the night fell.

    He knew he should’ve simply slit the boy’s throat the moment he found him. That would’ve been the smarter thing to do, for once, and perhaps even a small mercy. No names, no questions – just another corpse sprawled among many.

    But he hadn’t. And now the boy had a name, and a voice, and eyes too old for his face.

    Summary

    When Henry met the Lord of Pirkstein, he couldn't keep his mind- or hands- off of the man. Reminiscing on their outing, Henry wonders when he'll see the man who somehow, unknowingly, encouraged Henry to be better, to grow and learn. He wonders whether he'll ever have the strength to admit to him that it was all because of him, for him. He wonders if he'll ever admit it to himself.

    A journey of self discovery, of queer people in a time when that was dangerous, and the unerring loyalty of love.

    (Originally planned to be a one-shot, turned quickly into a rewrite of the first game, with more intense feelings and awkwardness added in)

    Summary

    Courage, he begs. A prayer. A whisper into her mouth. Christ, courage to let her go again.

     

    He sends her away, to Trosky, to Kuttenberg, to an enemy camp, to a fortress under siege. And she always comes back.

    Summary

    Hans had spent countless nights reliving their adventures - the foolish escapades, the battles fought side by side, the moments in between.

    He never asked to fall for his bodyguard - not during a war, and especially not with a wedding looming over his head. But Henry has a way of seeing through every noble front, of staying beside him even when the world demands otherwise.

    Between secret hunts, stolen glances, and quiet nights behind locked doors, something begins to shift inside Hans - something he can’t quite name. In a world where love like theirs has no place, they must find a way to navigate desire, duty, and the limited time they still have.
