    Summary

    Then Capon clambers into bed with him, extinguishing Henry’s last flicker of hope that this was a bad joke after all.

    There’s a bit of a shuffle while Capon gets comfortable and Henry stews in the curious sensation of a warm body pressed back-to-back against his. He’s slept with girls before, and Mutt, and once, years ago, he even shared a hayloft with Matthew and Fritz… but this is different.

    This is Capon. Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein. Henry’s lord.

    Henry and Hans share a bed at Trosky Castle. Twice. And a beast wakes in Henry, one he thought chained and abandoned to the dark long ago.

    Disturbed, newly unsure of himself, and afraid he can't be the protector his lord needs, Henry seeks aid from an unexpected quarter: Lord von Bergow's silver-tongued swordmaster.

    Set during the canon storyline; spoilers through Nebakov. Now with fanart!

    Summary

    Gregor has no home but the monastery. His hands are steady and unbloodied as he brews medicines for ailing men he will never see with his own eyes. Henry envies him, somehow. Henry wants, absurdly, to say he's sorry.

    Gregor is afraid of his hands.

    Or: a love letter to the KCD1 quest A Needle In A Haystack.

    Summary

    “Let me get a better look,” Bartosch takes a knee in front of Henry, slotted right between his laxed thighs while he reaches up and takes Henry’s face in his hands. He looks up at the wound and hums contemplatively. “It might need sutures. Fortunately for you, I’m handy with a needle and thread.”

    Familiar isn’t the word for this, Hans thinks. This is… more. Much more. It’s tender. Intimate. Like…

    Hans feels his face fill with heat while the rest of him goes cold. His feet suddenly feel as though they’re buried in the earth, unable to lift them up—it’s the same sort of trapped, panicked feeling he gets when he’s in small, cramped spaces.

    Just what the fuck is going on here?

    Or, Hans catches Black Bartosch flirting with Henry and gets jealous.

    Summary

    When Shepard died the first time, Cerberus specialists implanted a graybox in his brain—and, when it was destroyed by the blast on the Citadel, his memories of the year since his resurrection were destroyed along with it. Kaidan keeps his distance in order to keep Shepard from feeling trapped by the implications of a relationship he doesn’t even remember, trying to rebuild the Citadel while Shepard tries to rebuild what might still be between them. Written for the Mass Effect Big Bang 2012. It also wasn’t the first time he’d held onto hope that Shepard wasn’t dead.
