Summary
"Shall we?”
“We? What d’you mean, we?”
“I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”
Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.
It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?
Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

Summary
The bell rings, the sound echoing through his mind as it races and wanders in and out of the boundaries of their shared memory. Blue eyes, a sunburnt nose, yellow brocade, a casual touch. A confession, or an admission. A hammer to break down these walls that separate them. Authority he has no right to.
Henry keeps his eyes on the gallows, the shadows it cast, clean lines drawn on the mud in shade, painted as though by God’s steady hand.
Twelve bells. Two dying men. Henry thinks about the past as the future calls with each ringing of the bell in Trosky.

Summary
Survival comes with consequences in the night, when the body is paralyzed and the mind is helpless. Neither Hans nor Henry can escape such an enemy, after every death they've dodged.
_____________________
Twice Henry helps Hans face the lingering trauma of Trosky and Nebakov. Once, Hans returns the favor in Suchdol.Bookmarked by Volantis

Summary
In order to comply with current standards, Spartan-II Blue Team needs to be officially assigned a mission handler, and Spartan Miller is under consideration for the job. This would be totally fine if he wasn't busy developing the world's most embarrassing crush on Blue Team's leader: John-117, the Master Chief himself.
The Master Chief is still reeling from the death of his AI partner Cortana a year ago and still adapting to the culture shock of the world that moved on without him while he was "dead" for 5 years.
Sometimes, unlikely people intersect and things might get just a little weird.

Hear No Evil by poisonheadcrabsalesman for Volantis
Fandoms: Halo (Video Games) & Related Fandoms
11 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
A prompt cross-posted from tumblr: "Things you said when I wasn't meant to hear." Inspired by this art and writing by the lovely Magellanicclouds
The Gammas have a hard time adjusting to the Spirit of Fire after everything they experienced while undercover. It doesn't help that the crew isn't used to IIIs or the lengths that the UNSC went to to win the war while they've been adrift. Sometimes Spartans hear things they wish they didn't.

Summary
Rewrite of the end of Divine Wind.
"She's... your mother?"
"Oh yeah, in all the ways that count."
Ash had said those words as the meds kicked in and she went under in the back of that pelican. She had tried so hard to keep her kids safe, made difficult choices, pulled every string she could, and swept evidence under the rug. She hopes it’s enough to keep them alive.

Summary
Something of a fix-fic for Hiccup's excellent story 'Keep the Freckles', to give it the ending that I wanted. I do not intend to plagiarize their work. Up to a point, it is theirs, and beyond that it is mine.

In this fic we ship, and we ship HARD. Read the tags FIRST!

Reading order to understand this shit:
1- Chapters 1 and 2 of this story (set prior to the book Shadows of Reach)
2- Story "REUNION" that you can find in my profile (set after Shadows of Reach)
3- The rest of this fic (also set after Shadows of Reach)
4- It's overall better if you read Shadows of Reach, but not essential.
