Summary
Hans was very drunk. They had sat together, side by side by the fire. The young lordling was near dosing; his eyes shuttered at half-mast. His gilded lashes were very long, and cast shadows upon the panes of his high cheeks.
Pretty. He was very pretty. The thought was upon Henry before he could outrun it. The other lad was very drunk, and his eyes were glazed and unseeing. Unchecked, Henry was left to look his fill. And, furthermore, he found himself much too sotted to care, let alone chastise himself for the impropriety.
Hans confided, that he had once fancied himself in love with a bathhouse whore. Her name had been Klara. He had brought her flowers. She had preferred some other fellow though, and now she would not entertain him. He wasn't sad about it, though.
And then, the young nobleman had said the queerest thing. So queer, that Henry had turned his words, over and over in his head since laying down upon his bedroll.

The Boy with the Thorn in his Side by wickmachine

Summary
Were Istvan a superstitious man, he would have supposed the boy to be an omen. The harrowed face of him; pale hair, pale eyes, pale skin. Spectral in his loveliness. As quiet as the grave. He did not even know how old he was. He might be seventeen or seventy. He was old, yet he was innocence. He since stopped belonging to the constraints of time, when everyone who had ever known him had died. Now that there was nobody left to know, Erik existed in a frame that was entirely his own. The world belonged to nobody but himself, and he was a reflection of it.
**
This story explores the meeting of Erik and Istvan, and eventually, Erik's healing and redemption.

Where Will You Sleep Tonight? by wickmachine

Summary
He heard the bed creak, though he did not even deign to open his eyes. Peculiar for a man so watchful. But as all things; Zizka already knew. He laid upon his back, with his hands folded lightly across his stomach. Against his arm, he felt the gentle heat of another body. She'd be curled in a ball, no doubt. And rubbing her feet slow together like a cricket. That was her method of self-soothing. That, along with his presence, apparently. Zizka did not forsake her that.

Katherine always felt safe sleeping at Jan's side. He expects nothing of her, and the two of them have come to enjoy their nightly talks.

Summary
"See? I just knew it," Hans says, poking Henry's chest. "I knew you’d be too damn hairy. Look at all this. You're practically a barbarian."
Henry's snort is fond when it leaves his lungs, more exhale than sound. "You're hairy too," he offers graciously, flicking his eyes down a pale chest. His memory conjures up images of blond tufts—darkened with water, clustered beneath a navel, peeking coyly from under an armpit—before he banishes them. "It's just hard to see on your arms and legs, cause your hair is so fine. It makes your skin look soft," he adds, crazily, airing a thought that should have been kept barred and bolted.
"Do you think about my skin often, blacksmith's boy?"
"No." Henry is distracted; Hans's finger is twisting around his chest hair, an entirely new sensation for Henry's body. His spine tingles. "Maybe. I dunno."
—
Hans keeps insisting that Henry share his bed. A very normal and platonic thing to do.

Amor et melle et felle est fecundissimus by neodyymi

Summary
Ištván turned without another word and stepped back through the chapel doors, into the smoke-laced morning chill. The sky was pale with dawn now, weak light seeping through clouds and heavy mist, revealing the remains of what had still been a village before the night fell.
He knew he should’ve simply slit the boy’s throat the moment he found him. That would’ve been the smarter thing to do, for once, and perhaps even a small mercy. No names, no questions – just another corpse sprawled among many.
But he hadn’t. And now the boy had a name, and a voice, and eyes too old for his face.

Summary
When Henry met the Lord of Pirkstein, he couldn't keep his mind- or hands- off of the man. Reminiscing on their outing, Henry wonders when he'll see the man who somehow, unknowingly, encouraged Henry to be better, to grow and learn. He wonders whether he'll ever have the strength to admit to him that it was all because of him, for him. He wonders if he'll ever admit it to himself.
A journey of self discovery, of queer people in a time when that was dangerous, and the unerring loyalty of love.
(Originally planned to be a one-shot, turned quickly into a rewrite of the first game, with more intense feelings and awkwardness added in)
