    Summary

    Hans has had enough. The people don’t respect him, his uncle thinks he is unfit for anything, and nothing he ever does is enough.
    So he ventures out on a whim, gets his helmet visor hopelessly stuck shut, saves a woman’s life, and hears the most magical words of his life: thank you.

    He quickly decides to do it again.

    Anonymously.

    Throw in a pesky local blacksmith, one fateful visit to the bathhouse, and a mysterious knight with the same idea (whom he keeps running into)—and Hans’ life becomes something he could never have expected.

    Or: a little story about how two idiots manage to find each other twice and accidentally create a local legend.

    Summary

    The plot to free the king is afoot and a certain ledger they need is rumoured to be in the grandest palace in all of Prague. Hans and Henry get tasked with retrieving it, disguised as two of the invited nobles.

    Hans' noble has a scandalous reputation to uphold and Henry couldn't possibly be faulted for getting terribly distracted by it.

    But something strange keeps happening when the clock strikes midnight and it's up to Henry to figure out what.

    And use it to its fullest.

    Summary

    “He’s testing you, not torturing you. Trials are part of it and He tests those He sees potential in.”

    Hans raised his arms theatrically, nearly toppling over.

    “Well, then I pass! Hooray for me! Survived trial by shit, blood, and political obligations. Can I go home how?”

    “Perhaps,” Godwin said carefully, “He hasn’t found what he’s looking for yet. Survival isn’t always the goal.”

    “I wish He’d just tell me, then. Because this is…” he sighed mid-sentence, suddenly feeling very tired and small, “it’s fucking exhausting.”


    There were Greeks inside Hans' head, and no one had ever taught him how to deal with them.
