    Summary

    “You’re stupidly bold,” Hans says, and Henry’s smile widens until his nose wrinkles as he replies, “And do you like that?”

    “Maybe.”

    As he slips into his hose, Henry’s voice behind him starts low then rises, as though during the act of saying the thing, he finds some more boldness to push him through to the end of the sentence, “Then next time, you’ll have an answer besides maybe.”

    Next time. A shiver runs through Hans that he hides in the process of throwing his pourpoint around his shoulders. “Next time,” he says, and starts higher than he ends, losing his own boldness halfway through.

     

    It starts at the bathhouse, a drunken mistake, and then continues, and continues, and continues. KCD1 scenes reimagined with more intentional Hansry.

    Summary

    “Daydreamer,” Gnarly says eventually. “You found a moment to slow down and it all hits you. I like to keep busy for that reason. Sir Jan was always the one to think. I like action.”

    “Me too,” Henry says.

    “We have a lot in common,” Gnarly says, but doesn’t elaborate, not one for more words than strictly necessary to bring about his point. He scrapes a thin shaving of pale wood off the block in his hand, a curl that falls to the ground and reminds Henry of Hans’s hair after a bath.

     

    After his terrible fall, daydreams of Hans blend with the memory of their fight at the pillory, and Lord Semine and his guard captain begin to look a little familiar to Henry’s hazy mind.

    Summary

    “Who are you?” the newcomer grunts, gaze trailing up and down Hans’ body.
    Oh. Now that’s a question he hasn’t heard in… a while.
    “You don’t know who I am?” he blurts out, unable to hold his surprise back.
    The blacksmith removes a glove and wipes his forehead on the sleeve of a rundown, simple shirt.
    “Should I?”
    Well, that’s an obvious answer but… Hans takes a look at himself. His clothes are fine, yes, but not leagues more than a wealthy merchant’s, or a noble passing through town. He also hasn’t washed in two days, and his hair must be an incomprehensible mess. He will count himself lucky if he doesn’t have straw stuck in there.
    “Uh…”
    Only then does he notice just how clear the blacksmith’s eyes are. They blink, without ever moving away from Hans, awaiting an answer.
    He doesn’t know what possesses him to say:
    “I’m Hans.”

    --

    There is a new blacksmith in Rattay and Hans Capon, having deserted his duties as a lord, has nothing better to do than bother him, watch him work and feed him kolaches, in no particular order. If he pretends to be a filthy commoner while he does so, and Henry buys it, it shall not be used as any measure of either their intelligence.

    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.
