    Summary

    All Henry wanted out of this night was an uncomplicated one-night-stand, something to sate his bi-curiosity and help him to move on from this rut he had found himself in these past eight months.

    What he didn’t expect was for the handsome stranger he met in Prague and shared his bed with for a night to show up at his new job.

    And for him to turn out to be the literal worst

    // A story about new beginnings, finding one’s place in life, and learning to love imperfections.

    Summary

    After the Siege of Suchdol is brought to an end, Henry and Hans work out where exactly they've left things with each other.

    .

    Stepping over the threshold into the bedchamber and bolting the door behind him, a shudder wracks through him, explodes in his veins like birds startling from treetops into air. It is impossible for his body to ignore the echo of the desperate hour they passed together here on the eve of the last battle. The memory hangs in every shadow. Each floorboard knows the rhythm of their battered, beating hearts.

    Summary

    :::::::::::::::

    Arthur tells Charles he's dying. Charles proves him wrong. HEA.

    Somewhere between Explicit and Mature as always.

    :::::::::::::::

    “I’m not saying you ain’t sick. But that doesn’t mean you’re contagious and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re dying. If there was something to catch, I would have caught it by now.”
    “Charles—”
    “You’re not dying, Arthur. You’re not.” He says each word short and slow, and absolutely certain. “You- are- not.” Speaks them into Arthur’s eyes. Into the universe. Like he can will them into being. And who’s to say he can’t? A woman in his mother’s tribe could make it rain.
    “Okay,” Arthur says, smiling. “Okay.”
    “You’ll get a second opinion?”
    “Yes.” A brush of Arthur’s lips on Charles’ knuckles and the meeting of eyes. “Yes, I will. For you, I will.”
