Summary
The small quiet voice that had been diligently reminding you that it was all for the best, you did him a favour is slowly being drowned out by something else; a raging regret that only echoes how could you?
You haven’t listened to the first voice in quite a while.
(Meanwhile, Alberto also deals with the fallout.)

Summary
If he wasn’t already, Alberto’s downcast eyes makes Luca certain; Alberto’s singing about him. Just thinking it makes his cheeks burn with embarrassment over thinking so highly of himself, but he’s rarely been more sure of anything.
(A return to Portorosso, a little further down the road.)

Summary
“We should just… go. Run away.”
Luca blinks tears out of his eyes, fat and pearlescent on his cheeks under the moonlight. Alberto has his arm around him, hugging him to his side to try and offer comfort but Luca is too tightly wound for it to make any difference. This is the first friend he’s made. The first person to see him, to pull him out of his quiet and lonely life, and now Luca’s being taken away.
Alberto knocks his head against Luca’s as he sniffles, clumsily wiping at his eyes but missing big patches of green on his cheeks. Luca looks up at him with red-rimmed eyes, confused. “What...what are you saying?”
“I’m saying we should go. Like we planned, right? We’ll go to the town, get a vespa and just… just go.”
It's not a bad idea.
(A 'what if' fic, in which Alberto and Luca really do run away and find out the hard way that life can be ugly.)

Summary
“Giulia. Coffee?” Luca asks from his seat at the kitchen table, in what he hopes is a pathetic enough tone that she’ll make it for him. Giulia gives him a sympathetic look over her shoulder, her hair already tied up in a messy bun. A curl bounces at her temple as she shakes her head.
“Sorry, Luca. All out.”
“Giulia…”
“It's fine, I have a better idea. You know where the science building is?” Luca nods as Giulia is already scribbling the directions on an old pizzeria-flyer, “There’s a little campus cafe just on the far side of the grass, you know where people sometimes study? My brother works there, just tell him I sent you and he’ll sort you out with something. You'll be caffeinated in no time.”
(Luca needs coffee and Alberto has coffee. Seems like a simple enough equation for something that ends up being anything but.)

Long distance was never part of the plan.

Summary
"All considered there would be bigger fish, when St. Peter would tally up his crimes. But somewhere along the way Satan must have dug his talons into him, because there was no holy reason for why he should enjoy the feeling of a man's flesh beneath his fist the way he does. For why the pain of a receiving blow should excite him so. He always knew he liked it too much, even when he was younger. Liked the way it made his blood run hot, the way when the other boys would take their shirts off and then he'd know he was sinning just by being there."
Henry keeps showing up with mysterious injuries and terrible lies. Hans is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Summary
“There.” Henry swallows through the thickness once again. In an attempt to bring about some levity, Henry teases, “You look pretty as any bride.”
Hans laughs wetly, something more of a spit than humor. He shakes his head and attempts to run his fingers through his locks but his hand pauses at the first touch of the chain. Bringing his own hand to his gaze, Hans’ mood fizzles, like barely there sparks bowing to a downpour. “Rather be your bride than her groom,” Hans clenches his hand into a fist and Henry watches the well-kept nails threaten to bleed the soft skin of his palm. As if Hans is on his knees seeking forgiveness for his confession, bleeding and paying his way into Heaven’s gates.

Summary
In a world dictated by bloodlines and blades, Lord Hans Capon is expected to rule—not to burn for the knight sworn to guard him. But Henry isn’t just protection. He’s every forbidden thing Hans shouldn't want.
And when the line between duty and desire shatters, they’ll risk far worse than ruin for the one thing they were never meant to have—each other.

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.
