  1. Summary

    Veda/D AU for my party’s dnd campaign, Heirs of Despair. Goes down two routes: one where D doesn’t flinch away from Veda’s touch, and another where she does.

    Veda is my half-elf life cleric, who serves her patron saint ON, and devotedly worships the Goddess. Growing up in complete isolation, she’s overtly careful with her actions, earnest and old-fashioned, overjoyed to finally have people she can talk to and friends to love.

    D is my friend’s tiefling warlock, who sold her own soul to the demon that now resides in her head in return for her magic powers. Growing up abused and ostracized, she’s adopted a sense of paranoid cynicism that of which now colors her every interaction.

    Summary

    The clouds have taken on colorful hues, purples and pinks and oranges, swirling across the sky like soap on the surface of a tub. Hans turns onto his side. Henry watches him from the edge of his periphery. If he doesn’t move. If he stays just like this. Sunset glow, sweetness from the bun clinging to his mouth, Hans’s breath breaking against the side of his face. Perfect. Everything here and now is perfect.

     

    A pair of beaten metal rings. A package of sweet buns. A pitcher of red wine and two cups. A freshly washed blanket. A clearing in the woods. A superstition—bad luck to see the other party before a wedding. Through the makings of a perfect day, Henry navigates Rattay and endless possibility on his way to his secret wedding.

    This was so sweet. And I really like the inclusion of other girls, other lives Henry could've chosen that he picked Hans over

    Summary

    "What sort of name is 'Mutt?'"
    Like many of the questions Hans asks, this one is unprompted. Henry, properly armed with the knowledge of his nature, and the wisdom that this is simply who Hans is, rolls with it like a punch.

    "What's wrong with 'Mutt?'"


    Hans wants Henry in his life, always. Unfortunately, that also means having Mutt around.

    Summary

    After the noose, something changes.

    “Jesus,” Hans says, incredulity finally snapping his control in two, “what has gotten into you?”

    Henry’s head jerks back. “What?”

    “You!” Hans says, waving his hands as if to encompass all of Henry. “Why are you being so...” Hans clicks his teeth together. The words jumble and flutter in his head: subservient, obedient, coolheaded, patient, forgiving, why did you stick around even when I told you to go?

    “Kind,” Hans finally settles on, weakly.

    WAAAAAAHHH THIS IS SO PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY AND SO IN CHARACTER!!!!!!! SO MANY COMPLEX EMOTIONS BETWEEN THEM BOTH!! And this handles Hans and Henry's psychology post-hanging so well omfg. I also love how this story calls Henry out for being a sneaky lying liar pants troublemaker haha!! And my god. When Hans realized what Henry looks like when he lies to him. GAAAAAH. The whole thing with the merchant and Hans's compassion for the manservant and Henry catching that compassion?? Hans being tsundere abt spoiling the animals?? Mutt and Pebbles stealing the show and being ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE?? Lord have mercy. I'm so overcome

    Summary

    "What kind of lunatic uses the smithy at the height of summer anyway?"

    "It's not like people stop needing horseshoes and nails during the summer," Henry says, sounding entirely too reasonable for a man standing next to what is basically an oven, as decrepit as the rest of this Devil's tavern. His gaze is downturned, focused on whatever metal is taking shape on top the anvil. His hammer falls mercilessly even as he speaks, an endless clang, clang, clang.

    We must all make allowances for the heat: Henry dresses down. Hans can't help but observe.

    "You're getting my sword" GAAAARFHGUVUFHSHXHSGH GOING FERALLLL!!! I love bratty bored overheated Hans LMAO and Mutt in this was SUCH a delight. So cute. I love that Hans calls Mutt names in his head yet still lets him cuddle up and look at him with his big ol' doggie eyes. The parallels between them really goes to show that Henry's got TWO hounds sniffing around him LMAOOO Hans yapping for attention like Mutt barks. Henry indulgently keeping half a mind on Hans to respond to him even as he's laser focused on his work was also super sweet. Along with who he was doing all this for, everything just bleeds touching devotion
