    Summary

    That beaming light at Hani's Bethel does more than simply shine down on Arthur, and he takes away more than just a few meaningless trinkets. Explanations don't come easy, certain events have left their mark, but the only direction a man can truly go is forward.

    ---
    A reimagining of that strange little UFO encounter in the game.

    My first fic, please be kind, and please mind the tags.

    Summary

    "To mourn means to have been loved before. Grief is having so much love, and not knowing where to put it now they are gone. I will love you until my dying breath." Hans whispered in his ear. "You have saved countless lives Henry. Your Ma, and Pa, would be proud of you. For the people you have saved. They love you even in death. And their love is known through the air we breathe."

    or

    After the battle of Suchdol, grief finally catches up to Henry. Hans attempts to comfort him.

    Summary

    “Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”

    A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”

    He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

    Summary

    There’s no flattering way to mention that there are times that it feels like there is something rotten beneath his skin, that the only way to get it out would be to peel it off.
    So he doesn’t.


    Henry doesn't have the words for why his nightmares are as often about sex as they are about bloody battles, or why dancing with pretty girls sometimes makes him feel like he's dying. And if he doesn't understand it himself, how can he possibly expect anyone else to?
    or
    Five times Henry doesn't understand that what Doubravka did to him was wrong, and one time Hans helps him realise it was.

    Summary

    Henry and Sir Radzig find common ground in uncommon circumstances, and bond over tumultuous stories of love and quiet sacrifice.

    (Or, Henry and Hans are painfully obvious in their affections and Radzig decides a father-son road trip is in order before he loses his mind.)
