    Summary

    It had been no different from other things men did in war.

    No worse than a blade at the throat.

    No worse than what had been done to him before.

    Yet something in that cursed cell had followed him home.

    Henry survives the cell. What comes after is harder: the way it seeps into sleep, into touch, into the rope he winds round his own wrist because one kind of fear is easier to bear than another.

    Summary

    "But I'm not just asking for myself," Hans continued, quieter. "If people start to wonder about the lack of an heir, it won't be me they turn on, we both know that. Jitka's reputation—she'll be worse than ruined when the gossip starts to come."

    Or, when the heir to Rattay still can't sire a child one year into marriage, he comes begging for Henry's help. Henry thinks the task is simple, if insane: shoot a few loads in Jitka, then make like the wind so nobody suspects him.

    Unfortunately for Hans, nothing is nearly ever so simple.

    Summary

    "Their first meeting had been desperate, half-starved bodies pressing against each other, scared and uncertain and wanting. He had wanted a do-over. If not for Henry’s stupidly loud voice leading Zizka and Kubyenka to invite themselves along, they might have had that – they might be tangled under a bear pelt together this very moment, rather than Hans watching Henry fight for each breath."

    -

    A week after the liberation of Suchdol, Hans Capon suggests a hunting trip to Henry. With a plan in the back of his mind and a poem prepared in case things go wrong, he thinks it will be the perfect chance to put words to whatever this thing is between them.

    Except, Hans forgets who they are, and forgets that things can never be simple.

    A surprise attack leaves Henry injured and out for the count, Hans loses what little cool he had left, and the planned discussion goes nothing like planned.

    Summary

    The year is 1944, and Hydra is targeting Captain America with a weapon designed specifically to kill him. As Steve Rogers fights for his life, Peggy, Bucky, and Howard race the clock to find a solution. Darker than some of my other work, this features semi-graphic blood and injuries.
