    Summary

    Having or wanting a child is not something Viktor ever planned on, not before Jayce and the strange little partnership they strike up. His wants don’t actually matter as his body consistently fails to follow his wishes anyway.

    Summary

    “Hans listen to me.”

    That got through. Hans stared at him, blinking like he’d only just remembered Henry was still there. His lips parted, his chest rising too fast.

    “It’s too late,” Henry said gently.

    Hans' mouth stayed open a beat too long before shutting, he looked away sharply.

    Henry’s voice stayed low, steady. “And what do you think we’ll be if we do run? Do you honestly think they’ll just let us vanish?”

    Hans went still. Something flickered in his eyes. Hurt and humiliation, quickly masked by fury.

    “You’ll lose everything,” Henry went on. “And for what? A hovel on the road? A boot in your ribs from the first man who thinks you’re lying about your blood?”

    Hans' jaw tightened.

    “You remember Trosky,” Henry added. “How they treated you when they thought you were no one. Do you really think you’d survive that twice?”

    ---

    5 times they shared a First, and one time they shared their last.

    Collection of moments starting with Henry saying goodbye in Suchdol, ending the night before Hans and Jitka's Wedding.

    Set in the same canon as my other KCD fics but can be read as standalone.

    Summary

    “You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”

    Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.

    “I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”

    ***
    Between the battles, Henry and Hans find time to talk, touch, and live.

    Summary

    “Hey.”

    Charles looks up, squinting against the sun, and focuses on the figure looming above him. It’s a bright day on the mountain, and all this damned snow is doing nobody any favors. “Arthur,” he says. “Good morning.”

    “Huh? Yeah, mornin’.” Arthur tilts his head, scratches at his jaw, and tucks his chin down towards his chest. It’s a very particular mannerism, one that Charles has watched him perform countless times.

    Summary

    “You know…” Hans swallows, then clenches his jaw. “…I won’t hate you if you don’t want to do this. We can just let that night be what it was.”

    So, this is it.

    The dreaded discussion has caught up to Henry, as he knew it would, but he had foolishly hoped for a little more time. A night of relative normalcy. He feels his heart plummet to his feet with enough force to burst through the floor. He knows the question he has to ask, but every part of him resists the command to ask it.

    When he finally manages to choke it out, his voice is unsteady. “Is that what you want?”

    Or: after the battle of Suchdol, Henry still isn't positive where Hans stands on their relationship, which makes him nervous. They have a conversation about it while Henry takes care of Hans’ wound.
