Summary
Hans was very drunk. They had sat together, side by side by the fire. The young lordling was near dosing; his eyes shuttered at half-mast. His gilded lashes were very long, and cast shadows upon the panes of his high cheeks.
Pretty. He was very pretty. The thought was upon Henry before he could outrun it. The other lad was very drunk, and his eyes were glazed and unseeing. Unchecked, Henry was left to look his fill. And, furthermore, he found himself much too sotted to care, let alone chastise himself for the impropriety.
Hans confided, that he had once fancied himself in love with a bathhouse whore. Her name had been Klara. He had brought her flowers. She had preferred some other fellow though, and now she would not entertain him. He wasn't sad about it, though.
And then, the young nobleman had said the queerest thing. So queer, that Henry had turned his words, over and over in his head since laying down upon his bedroll.

The Boy with the Thorn in his Side by wickmachine

Summary
Were Istvan a superstitious man, he would have supposed the boy to be an omen. The harrowed face of him; pale hair, pale eyes, pale skin. Spectral in his loveliness. As quiet as the grave. He did not even know how old he was. He might be seventeen or seventy. He was old, yet he was innocence. He since stopped belonging to the constraints of time, when everyone who had ever known him had died. Now that there was nobody left to know, Erik existed in a frame that was entirely his own. The world belonged to nobody but himself, and he was a reflection of it.
**
This story explores the meeting of Erik and Istvan, and eventually, Erik's healing and redemption.

Where Will You Sleep Tonight? by wickmachine

Summary
He heard the bed creak, though he did not even deign to open his eyes. Peculiar for a man so watchful. But as all things; Zizka already knew. He laid upon his back, with his hands folded lightly across his stomach. Against his arm, he felt the gentle heat of another body. She'd be curled in a ball, no doubt. And rubbing her feet slow together like a cricket. That was her method of self-soothing. That, along with his presence, apparently. Zizka did not forsake her that.
