    Summary

    To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
    The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
    Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
    His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.

    Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.

    Summary

    “Henry! Do you doubt my bedroom prowess?”

    His page set him with a withered look, though his eyes dropped down Hans’ body quicker than the snap of a branch; skimming the outline of him through his attire, peeking at the bottom of his pourpoint as if to assess his claim. Hans let his legs open a little wider; confident, smug. Henry blinked and brought his gaze back up in an instant, cheeks a faint shade of pink.

    “I think you exaggerate.”

    or: hans learns henry is inexperienced. hans considers himself something of a sexpert. cue a very involved and highly heterosexual discussion of intimacy.
    intimacy with a girl.
    obviously.

    Summary

    As befits a Roman nobleman of his age, Hans Capon is about to embark on his first military campaign, leaving the great city of Rome for Gaul to join the army of Julius Caesar, in pursuit of glory, adventure and the future long planned for him by his family.

    Meanwhile Henry is leading a peaceful life as a son of a blacksmith in a small Celtic village near Bibracte. Unbeknownst to him, his life is about to be turned upside down when his home is destroyed by an invasion of Germanic tribes.

    The two of them are brought together by the ever unpredictable fate and swept into a world of war, political intrigue, ambition, friendship and love.
