    Summary

    He remembers the first time he saw Radzig after the truth was revealed— how suddenly he recognised the sweep of his hairline; the cut of his jaw; the shape of his smile. The reflection that stared back at him, not in still puddles, but polished bronze mirrors, was not spun whole cloth from his mother. He had been borne of loving union, the same as every other man of flesh and blood, save Christ Himself. And in Radzig's face, he could finally see that union realised.

    Henry looks for himself once more, this time in the ugly remains of what had been his father.


    Thirteen years after the Third Margrave Wars, the ugly spectre of violent death visits Henry of Skalitz once again.

    Summary

    “There you are, sir, I was looking for you,” Henry's voice cut through the haze of Hans’s modest inebriation. Like a torch in the distance on a foggy night, a guiding light forward. “I promised I'd have a look at that shoulder of yours, my lord.”

    “You needn’t have left the festivities behind on my account, dear Hal.” Hans let a little friendly mockery seep into his voice, a clever sort of verbal armour he'd developed where nothing he said could ever be taken seriously.

    Henry approached, pulling up the other chair to sit beside Hans, a little closer than he would if there were others around, but he wouldn’t look at him as he spoke. “No point of a party without you there.”

    They shared a beautiful, fleeting moment of tenderness together. But now, Henry faces death alone in the dark, and Hans has no choice but to watch him go.

    Summary

    "I must say, Henry, when you invited me here I hadn't expected you to be outfitted with your very own band." The conversation lulls as Hans pauses to express his point, the merry melodies from The Hole carrying from two doors down.

    "They've always been a menace, even when my husband were still alive." Magdalena scoffs, unimpressed, but Hans's spirits are not so easily dampened.

    The sound of his palms slapping his noble thighs punctuate his exclamation. "Nonsense! I think it's marvellous. Music and room to dance without making a spectacle of yourself."


    A small feast is held in the garden of Henry's forge- and what's a party without a little dancing?

    Summary

    No one else will do it for you. The words come unbidden to his mind, their source nebulous. Maybe it's his Pa's warm rumble, his tough-guy love that always ended up too tender. Maybe it's Captain Bernard's scolding, the rough hand pushing him to get up, try again, don't give up. Maybe it's even Sir Radzig's calm tenor, his cool, highborn cynicism. It doesn't matter. All that remains is the principle behind it, the hard-earned kernel of life's unfeeling truth: it's easy to die. If Henry wants to live—and he does, he does, horribly, selfishly does—then he needs to act.

    Sometimes growing up means learning how to do your own stitches.

    Summary

    A sword, he can handle. Cold steel, heavy, growing lighter. Easier and easier to bear. Slowly, he puts his hand on Hans’s wrist, his fingers closing around him. Soft, yielding. He still doesn’t quite know how to wield him. Nothing like the blunt touch of steel, the certainty of it.

    He sees Hans through the echoes of the red that touch the edges of his vision when he’s killing, and when he’s not. As though the blood he spills stains his periphery more and more every time.

    Summary

    There are many alcoves in the castle that Hans has dragged him to, many locked doors and silent places where they meet in secret, away from prying eyes and pricked and eager ears.

    This is not one of them.

    Summary

    “Do what I’m doing with you,” Henry says. “Pretend she’s you, and you’re me. Do it like we do.”

     

    Hans blurs the lines between his relationships, taking other places in the persistent softness of the mind and in his different beds.

    Summary

    "My lord," said Galehaut, "I would do more for you than you would believe, and I have already begun."

    Hans falls in love, finds a book, and tries to figure out how to avoid losing his best friend. It would be easier if he had anything at all to offer Henry, or if sodomy were not the sin of which men do not speak.

    Summary

    He looks down at Henry's bowed head. Henry's hair is common brown, cut short in a practical and unfashionable style. Hans has never really considered before the way that sunlight catches those short dark strands, so that here and there as he moves his head there is a glimmer like a thread of gold woven through common wool.

    -

    Five times Henry kneels for Hans, and one time Hans kneels for Henry.

    Summary

    "Shall we?”

    “We? What d’you mean, we?”

    “I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”

    Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.

    It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?

    Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

    Summary

    Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz fall in love without knowing that it's love.

    To quote "The Great Escape" by Woodkid, men are meant to be more than the shadows of each other.

    Summary

    Hans choked out a laugh as he took in his dear friend’s bashful expression and the urgency there, the red tips of his ears. Thank God for Henry, always saving him in his time of need.

    “If you recall,” Hans said. “I didn’t just pay for myself, Hal. I bought her for you, too.”

    (Set between KCD1 & KCD2. An intense shared experience at a bathhouse reveals more about their relationship than Henry or Hans could've accounted for.)

    Summary

    It’s a question of biology. Vulcan biology.

    The problem with falling in love with a member of an insanely private species is that it just might take you the best part of a five year mission to work out that the feelings are requited. And then you might discover that he’s already decided that the two of you can never be together.

    And what are you supposed to do if he won’t tell you why?
