    Summary

    "All considered there would be bigger fish, when St. Peter would tally up his crimes. But somewhere along the way Satan must have dug his talons into him, because there was no holy reason for why he should enjoy the feeling of a man's flesh beneath his fist the way he does. For why the pain of a receiving blow should excite him so. He always knew he liked it too much, even when he was younger. Liked the way it made his blood run hot, the way when the other boys would take their shirts off and then he'd know he was sinning just by being there."

    Henry keeps showing up with mysterious injuries and terrible lies. Hans is determined to get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    Hans wanted nothing more than to grab him, hold him, keep him close until the Praguers broke the walls down and took them both into Hell together. He wanted Henry’s face in his hands, to feel his pulse beneath his fingers whilst the man was still alive.
    The thought did nothing but scare him into simply watching Henry go.

    The words in his chest went unsaid, even to himself.

    Perhaps that’s how God intended it to be.

    or: hans never confessed at suchdol, and now finds himself torn between his responsibilities to rattay and jitka, and the way his heart beats solely for henry.

    (…a lot of yearning and sleepless nights ensue)

    Summary

    "I hope we die like this," Henry finds himself saying, out loud, in his hoarse and disused voice. "I hope they find our skeletons like this, together, and know that at least we had love."
