    Summary

    It was 1419, sixteen had passed since the Siege of Suchdol, and Bohemia sat on a knife’s edge.

    When friend and foe stood on both sides of a battlefield, there was no such thing as neutrality in war.

    Or the one where Hanush had been right. Hans’ importance had only grown over the years. The only issue was that sometimes he felt he was not enough of a man to fill his own shoes.

    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. Updates Sundays (or Mondays) and Fridays.

    Summary

    Two years ago, at the feast of Corpus Christi, Hans Capon heard a French minstrel sing of a tragic knight undone by love. He thought little of it—until a mace to the head and his squire's sky-blue eyes leave him wondering if he’s fated to share Galehaut’s story.

    As war in Bohemia rages on, Hans tries not to end up like his literary brother in spirit. But fate seems determined to make him walk in Galehaut’s footsteps no matter how much he squirms. After all—winning a war against Sigismund might be easier than winning one against his own heart.

     

    KCD2 from Hans’s POV with the romance amped up.

    Summary

    Dean keeps going back.

    When he arrives, it's always to blooming flowers and a windmill in the background, not too far from a brook, the sun painting the plains.

    He likes it there. He likes to stand in front of the makeshift urn and check that it's still where he put it, switching out the flowers when they wilt. He likes to listen to the sound of birds chirping, insects singing, the faint sound of water trickling in the distance. He likes to turn his face up and feel the sun on his skin, wondering if Cas would do the same if he were here, somehow knowing that he would.

    He likes to talk.

    There's never a response, but Dean feels the breeze rustle through his hair and watches the flowers bob when bees come to them and stares as the windmill keeps turning, turning, turning. And he imagines that Cas is replying—the windmill is the tilted head, the bobbing flowers are a gentle smile, the breeze is whatever words Dean wants to hear at the time.

    Sometimes, it's almost like he's there.
