    Summary

    “Come on boy. Let’s play for it. I’ll wager thirty groschen against a few lines of your lady’s poetry, how bout that?”

    “You know I ‘ppreciate the offer, but on second thought…” He rises from the table, steadily as he can. “I don’t have the stomach for gamblin tonight, and it’s an early day tomorrow so I oughtta-”

    “A hundred groschen then.”

    “Alright let’s play.” Henry thumps back into his seat.

    Now that he thinks about it a bit more clearly, there’s nothing to lose here. Even if the dice don’t fall his way, a little poetry from his girl won’t be a great loss.

    It's been some time since Henry's had the pleasure of company in his bed, and Hans pawns off his love letter to him at just the wrong time.

    Summary

    “Pretty birdie…” He coos breathlessly, eyes flitting about the crown of Hans’s head as if seeing the flowers there.

    He looks...drunk. And as much as Hans would like to owe that to his own skills he doubts a few cheeky pumps from two fingers would have Henry seeing the pearly gates.

    "Henrryyyy," He coos. "What do poppy and henbane do precisely?"

    After dealing with the witches of Uzhitz, Henry forgets to empty his bag before he goes hunting with his lord and lover.

    Summary

    He slips through a gap in the ruined palisade that must have once served as the village’s outer bailey, and a wide green linden tree rises into view. Like an angel amongst its neighbors, it stands bedecked in creamy yellow flowers, cascading in a full midsummer bloom.

    None of this should be blooming while he still needs a mantle to warm his shoulders. It's not right. It's not natural. It's-

    "Are you lost?" A voice rises on the pollen heavy breeze. It's soft and low but Hans still startles, sword popping free from its scabbard like a skittish tomcat's claws.

    But the man that's snuck up behind him is no bandit he's ever seen. He's barely a man at all.

    Young lord Capon ventures into the woods one fine spring morning and the forest returns something different back to Rattay.

    Summary

    Nestled in strips of black paper packaging is a little silver fob shining dully above a bundle of embossed brown leather. It looks soft, decent craftsmanship, and on closer inspection the fob appears to be a dog training clicker that seems much nicer than the little plastic trinkets one would usually find. For a moment Hans thinks this is some preamble to a larger gift, and Henry’s going to duck away to retrieve a pup with a comically large bow around its neck. But then he spots a thick black index card, its silver  embossed text sparkling through the shredded paper.

    [Congratulations to Hans Capon on your new toy from TranceToys LLC! Your activation phrase is: Fetch your mind for me.]

    Henry gives Hans a dog for Valentine's day...in a sense.

    Summary

    "Never seen someone look so cross while polishing his sword." He hums, resting his elbows on his squire’s bunched shoulders.

    Henry doesn't dignify him with a response. He just takes his foot off the pedal and lets the whetstone squeal to a stop while he tucks the sword back into its scabbard.

    "Oh, I see…just cross that lil Henry didn't get polished." He leans in close and lets his breath curl over the shell of his ear.

    Summary

    Bozhena watches how this boy clings to the corpse and worries she'll have to ask the knacker to dig a third grave in the morning. She's not seen grief like this in such a long time, but she's tended a great many bedsides and soothed the backs of husbands weeping over wives lost to the childbed. She'd recognize the wound of lost love deaf and blind on Judgement Day.

    Summary

    “Do you want it to fall through?” Henry’s voice is careful, but the suggestion is slipped into his words like a dagger finds its sheath. It’s not like he hadn’t thought about it. It wouldn’t have been hard to stir misapprehensions here or stoke some family discord there. His heart had been begging for the task since the moment Hans’ smile flagged when they saw Botschek off from Suchdol.

    Before he even knew the taste of his lord’s lips.

    But here it is unraveling without having to raise a finger, and all he can feel is guilt as Hans paces the room.

    As the summer of 1403 comes to a close, Hans Capon's courtship to Jitka of Kunstadt can no longer be delayed.
    But what promised to be a simple and swift formality quickly becomes complicated. Henry has little choice but to stand guard and watch his lover try to win over his betrothed.
    Even as jealousy carves out his insides.

    Summary

    “You don’t think Lord Capon would really have a demon in his service?” She frowns. “Besides, Henry prays in front of the wayside shrine each morning, and a demon could never do that.”

    “The devil quoteth scripture to suit his needs.” The farrier presses his tongue into his cheek, arms folded over his chest, and several at the table nod in solemn agreement.

    Summary

    Hans chuckles weakly as he stares down at the curly-toed boots Henry had filched for him. "I've got plenty of practice in being a demanding cunt, but this is a bit outside my depth so I need to know… I know the whole point is you're going to pretend like you don't want to, but Christ..."

    He takes a deep breath, wringing the fur cap in his lap. "I want to do this right."

    After many unwanted dreams, Henry comes to Hans with a request that he not act like his usual self in bed. Hans does his best to get in character.

    Summary

    Henry doesn’t allow himself a final look.

    He wouldn’t call himself a superstitious man, by any means, but the thought of turning to watch Suchdol recede over his shoulder feels like it would be courting disaster. It’s foolish, really. Henry knows the fortress has endured trebuchet fire and hand cannons, its walls aren’t going to crack from a distant glance, but he can’t bring himself to turn his head.

    It’s too close to a goodbye, and he’s sworn those off for the time being.

    Summary

    He sticks out his tongue to show the mass of red and white pulp. “S’not ideal, but it’ll help with the bleeding until we can get you tended to properly.”

    Henry settles between Hans' legs, jaw working as he lifts the blood-soaked bandage. “Don’t make a face. It’s nearly as good as a mortar and pestle.”

    “I don’t doubt you’ve got teeth.” Hans wrinkles his nose as Henry sticks another pinch of chamomile petals into his cheek. “I’m just worried about catching something.”

    Henry rolls his eyes.

    “If my mouth’s good enough for the baker’s daughter, it’ll serve you just fine.”

    Hans comes to appreciate the aroma of the lower class, or one particular member.

    Summary

    Monday, March 28th

    Gales out of N. NW. Both souls aboard the lighthouse tender lost in the storm.
    Crew member reports something moving beyond the island, descriptions were nonsensical and descended into ravings.
    Four arms. Four eyes. Tail the size of the ship.
    Altering course South for aid immediately.

    41 degrees, 41 minutes North by 114 degrees, 12 minutes East

    ----

    Yuuji's first term as a lighthouse keeper is not beginning as he'd hoped. Fever has shaved Megumi from his crew and with only Todou left for company on the island he's beginning to go a little stir crazy. But at night, alone in the lantern room, he can hear a voice that just barely carries over the wind...

    Summary

    ‘This lowly house has been overwhelmed with the kindness of our betters, and we are eased with the knowledge that whoever Yuuji weds his life will be one of good standing and comfort. With this assurance, we have elected to have Yuuji’s own heart be the arbiter of this selection.'

    The thin paper suddenly feels impossibly heavy, and the King of Curses can’t muster up the strength to keep it from slipping through his fingers.

    “They’re having Itadori choose his husband.” Sukuna says, turning his face to the ceiling.

    “T-that’s highly unorthodox.” Uraume bends to retrieve the offending letter. Handling the thing like it threatens to lash out at their lord.

    “It won’t get to that point.”
