    Summary

    “You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”

    Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.

    “I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”

    ***
    Between the battles, Henry and Hans find time to talk, touch, and live.

    Summary

    Henry rips a golden thread from Hans’s doublet. In faint firelight, with clumsy blacksmith hands, he sews it into his glove.

    Summary

    Until Rattay gets a new Captain of the Guards. Henry of Skalitz- quiet, hardened by years of endless battles; having never met anyone to love after losing his home.

    They meet. And, throughout the months, they bring each other back to life again.

    Hansry Hallmark Christmas movie

    Hans Capon, a lawyer from Rattay, is invited to spend Christmas in Skalitz, a small town he’s helped in the past. He doesn’t have anything better planned for the holidays, so instead of drowning himself with work or sleeping the days away, he decides to agree, not knowing he's about to learn the true meaning of Christmas.

    Summary

    “Is that what it is? A kingfisher?” Hans hums, and his head sways.
    “Used to be,” Henry offers a smile he hopes is reassuring as he turns the leathery talisman in his palm. “Supposed to guard you from bad luck.”
    “Oh, it didn’t do a very good job now, did it?” Hans’ eyes find his. “You and your birds, Hal… Nightingales and robins and yellowhammers.”
    “My lord.”
    “Promise me, hm?” Hans smiles. “You’ll think of me each time you think of birds.”
    “Hans-”
    “I reckon that’ll be plenty,” the young lord smiles again: the trickle of blood from his temple runs down his cheek. “It will work better to guard you, too, from any harm and any bad luck.”
    “Hans, you need to stay awake. Please.”
    “Maybe I’ll even haunt you, eh?” Something akin to a laugh erupts from his chest in a short, meagre burst. “Better than Toth, too, I promise.”

    After Suchdol and all the pain and tenderness it brought, Henry of Skalitz and his lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein steal some time for themselves: as summer dies and turns to autumn, and to winter cold, they choose to court each other with great honesty and love.

    Even if they wear different names and play the riskiest game of pretend Bohemia has ever seen.

    Summary

    "My lord," said Galehaut, "I would do more for you than you would believe, and I have already begun."

    Hans falls in love, finds a book, and tries to figure out how to avoid losing his best friend. It would be easier if he had anything at all to offer Henry, or if sodomy were not the sin of which men do not speak.

    Summary

    To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
    The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
    Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
    His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.

    Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.

     

    Chapter titles reference the associated in-game quest.

    Summary

    All Henry wanted out of this night was an uncomplicated one-night-stand, something to sate his bi-curiosity and help him to move on from this rut he had found himself in these past eight months.

    What he didn’t expect was for the handsome stranger he met in Prague and shared his bed with for a night to show up at his new job.

    And for him to turn out to be the literal worst

    Summary

    Hans has had enough. The people don’t respect him, his uncle thinks he is unfit for anything, and nothing he ever does is enough.
    So he ventures out on a whim, gets his helmet visor hopelessly stuck shut, saves a woman’s life, and hears the most magical words of his life: thank you.

    He quickly decides to do it again.

    Anonymously.

    Throw in a pesky local blacksmith, one fateful visit to the bathhouse, and a mysterious knight with the same idea (whom he keeps running into)—and Hans’ life becomes something he could never have expected.

    Or: a little story about how two idiots manage to find each other twice and accidentally create a local legend.

    Summary

    Hans Capon has no shortage of enemies who threaten his greatest secret. Will his undoing be a meddling uncle, a bride who knows too much, or the Royal Chamberlain with his clever schemes?

    Leaving the ashes of Suchdol behind, Hans and Henry ride east—eager to outrun duty, wedding bells, and perhaps even Lady Fortuna herself.
    But a trail of stolen silver and a missing horse soon drag them back into a war that refuses to end, even without a king on the throne.
    How long can Hans and Hal keep their love hidden? And when it comes to light—will it be enough to hold them together, or will the world tear them apart?
     

    This fic follows Lord of the Distant Isles but can be read on its own.

    Summary

    Two years ago, at the feast of Corpus Christi, Hans Capon heard a French minstrel sing of a tragic knight undone by love. He thought little of it—until a mace to the head and his squire's sky-blue eyes leave him wondering if he’s fated to share Galehaut’s story.

    As war in Bohemia rages on, Hans tries not to end up like his literary brother in spirit. But fate seems determined to make him walk in Galehaut’s footsteps no matter how much he squirms. After all—winning a war against Sigismund might be easier than winning one against his own heart.

     

    KCD2 from Hans’s POV with the romance amped up.
