    Summary

    Hynce first found out about Henry when he was eight years old.
    He didn’t mean to pry into Father’s private belongings, but while browsing the contents of the bookshelves he came across a prettily painted wooden box and, well, he couldn’t not open it.
    It contained a stack of letters penned undoubtedly by Father’s hand.
    All started with: “My dearest, Henry”

    ~***~

    Hans's son spends years reading unsent letters from Hans to a mysterious friend named Henry.
    At last, he decides to set off in search for him.

    Summary

    “Daydreamer,” Gnarly says eventually. “You found a moment to slow down and it all hits you. I like to keep busy for that reason. Sir Jan was always the one to think. I like action.”

    “Me too,” Henry says.

    “We have a lot in common,” Gnarly says, but doesn’t elaborate, not one for more words than strictly necessary to bring about his point. He scrapes a thin shaving of pale wood off the block in his hand, a curl that falls to the ground and reminds Henry of Hans’s hair after a bath.

     

    After his terrible fall, daydreams of Hans blend with the memory of their fight at the pillory, and Lord Semine and his guard captain begin to look a little familiar to Henry’s hazy mind.

    Summary

    Sir Hans Capon has grown into a lonely man. Sad, bitter, and far from the happy, mindless Lordling he used to be; having never found anyone to ever truly love him.

    Until Rattay gets a new Captain of the Guards. Henry of Skalitz- quiet, hardened by years of endless battles; having never met anyone to love after losing his home.

    They meet. And, throughout the months, they bring each other back to life again.

    Summary

    “Tell me what you need,” Hans says again.

    Henry is quiet for a few moments. Outside, someone walks through the courtyard carrying a bucket of water that splashes out onto the dirt floor. Once the person passes, Henry says in a whisper, “Could you press it? With your hand. My back, I mean. My lower back.”

     

    Hans finds himself needed, and makes himself useful, one night at Trosky. A story inspired by the Bad Back negative perk.

    Summary

    When Henry swings off of Pebbles in the courtyard of Pirkstein, dusty with travel and tired from the road, it is not his lord, or even his lady, who greets him first.

    “Hal!” Heinrich, his little child-voice high and excitable, outruns his nurse as he dashes to Henry. “Hal, Hal, Hal!”

    -

    Alternate title: A Day In The Life of Uncle Hal

    A little snapshot into how Henry navigates his life, Hans’s marriage, and most of all, Hans’s little boy.

    Summary

    A lurch in his stomach, like the moment of dark surprise when he misses a step going down the stairs. It soon turns into a gnawing sensation, a memory of hunger that seems to be there always, although Hans has since always had enough to eat. Hunger for touch. For Henry. For their desperate fumbling in his borrowed bed in the fortress. For more time together, despite the busy days that followed them in the Kuttenberg region after the siege, and then returning home to plan this, their great escape, their last chance.

     

    Rattay, Vienna, Sofia, Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem. Hans and Henry on pilgrimage to the Holy Land on borrowed time, through six cities, in six states of sin and sanctity.

    Summary

    To Ištván's great satisfaction, Erik turned toward him, a drunken smile spreading across the boy’s face as their gazes met. Erik’s striking eyes, dark as the void yet clouded with the warmth of honeyed mead, still betrayed his ever-present awareness. His broad frame, even when slightly hunched from the grueling hours of battle and travel, somehow seemed almost regal in the flickering firelight.

    As subtly as he possibly could, Ištván nodded towards the stairs, leaving his fine wine half-finished.

    Knowing all too well that his Erik would soon follow.

    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.

    Summary

    It is the final day of the siege of Suchdol. Judgement Day, some would call it later on. The Praguers' camp had been razed to the ground by reinforcements arriving from Rattay: with Markvart dead, the rest of their forces flee.

    Yet, despite being taken back, no victorious hymns echo through the fort. Mortal silence falls upon them: in the heart of the inner courtyard, Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein kneels, unmoving, on the blood-soaked ground. No words reach him—no hands are strong enough to pull him away. Those who try to approach him cross themselves: the young lord is blind to the world.

    It is only Father Godwin’s prayer that breaks through; his palms shaking, spread over Hans’ head: Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua.

     

    Fiat voluntas tua, he repeats, and waits.

     

    Sicut in cælo et in terra, Hans finishes, his voice breaking. He raises his eyes for the briefest moment—as Godwin kneels down to gently pry his hands away.

    Henry’s body in his arms is already cold.

    Summary

    Here is some porn and if you squint there is some plot too. In some far off future, where things are well and Henry is now a knight with a very important job [™] that sometimes takes him away from his liege lord. But he always looks forward to coming back to his lord’s domain and his Lord Capon is there to welcome him back with open (and capable) hands.

    Basically them two being sappy and in love and me rambling about how hot Hans thinks Henry is whilst having his way with him because I'm here to preach bottom Henry from my pulpit.

    Summary

    It's been a year since the Netherbrain's defeat, and Zevlor still cannot face the humiliation of his past. Content to stalk the streets of Baldur's Gate as a vigilante, he is ready to welcome death when it makes another attempt to claim him.

    But, of course, the blasted Hero of Baldur's Gate won't let him die. After saving him yet again, Tav asks him to become her personal bodyguard against the alarming number of assassins hellbent on killing her.

    He knows it's her own way of helping him feel less ashamed- to give him a chance to pay off the life debts he owes her. And the chance of piecing together his own honor once more is alluring. But perhaps most of all- it's a chance to have some semblance of a friend in a world that only seems to beat him down.
