    Summary

    Henry likes his days quiet, his coffee strong, and his bookstore free of unnecessary drama.
    So when Hans Capon bursts into his life one Monday morning in search of a last-minute business administration textbook (of all things), Henry figures it's a one-time disruption.
    It isn't.

    Hans, as it turns out, reads little, talks much, and somehow keeps getting under Henry’s skin in ways that are both exasperating and endearing.

    He also keeps showing up.

    Henry isn’t entirely sure what Hans wants—or what he wants either, for that matter. But he’s starting to realise that some stories unfold slowly. And some people might just be worth reading into.

    Summary

    The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

    Summary

    “I’m here,” he mutters eventually, long after his legs have gone numb. “I’ll always be here, even if it’s to haunt you.”

    Hans snorts. “Would it truly be a haunting if I longed for it?”

    Henry thinks about two distant figures sitting beneath a tree on a moonlit field and doesn’t answer.

    They stay there for a while. It should be forever.

    **

    Hans, Henry, and their life throughout the decades awaiting them.

    Summary

    Henry returns to Rattay after many months away, and Heinrich sees the side of his father that loves.

    “Henry!”

    Three heads rise to the balcony, where Heinrich’s father is leaning over the balusters looking down. The chill wind pulls at the loose ends of his hair and the gaping collar of his tunic, though he shows no reaction to the cold. He’s almost never up this early — grousing if he’s woken before noon — but his eyes are wide awake now, fixed on Henry alone.

    Heinrich senses himself shrinking back into the shape of a child, small and wet and instantly forgotten. He bristles with disappointment. Henry is beyond him now. And the courtyard, the village, the knights, the rain, his mother. All are secondary to Lord Hans Capon, who only has to call his name.
