    Summary

    MULTI CHAPTER FIC

    Henry escaped Skalitz when his parents were killed during the raid. Only Martin didn't tell him to go to Radzig. Instead, he told him to get to Kuttenburg and the forge he apprenticed at. He told Henry that Shkoda and Magdalena would keep him safe from war. It was his last attempt to keep him from a life of warring and fighting even when it came knocking at their door. Taking the sword that they had forged for Radzig with him, he fled after they were cut down in front of him. He doesn't know that Radzig is his father. He doesn't go to Rattay. He doesn't meet Sir Hans Capon... but one night, when Henry finds a thief in his forge, he assumes that dealing with him will be straightforward.

    It turns out to be anything but. And meetings don't happen the way they might have, had he been told the truth on the day that Skalitz burned.

    Summary

    The laws of the underworld are never kind to anyone. In a life that is never easy even for the strong, where in a world like this would there ever be a place for affection between an heir to a prominent family with his right-hand man?

    From the day he pledges his loyalty to the Capons, Henry knows that there will be no future for these feelings he harbors for Hans, the charming yet frivolous successor of the powerful family, whom at his side he is serving.

    Someone like him is by no means equal to Hans Capon in status, a stray picked up from the street, with a lingering shadow from the past quietly haunting his every step.

    But when the one he harbors these sentiments for is willing to accept him for who he is, moreover offering his own heart all the same in return regardless of the consequences, how can it still be possible for him to hold onto self-restraint and prudence to stay in the “correct” path?

    He looks at the boy, his boy, who watches him with blue eyes fringed with thick black lashes, his full lips curved in a sad smile. As though Hans’ thoughts are written, clear as day, on his face. When we leave, that smile says, things will be back to normal. To pain, and fear, and that crushing emptiness that nothing else in the world can fill. So drink up here, touch, kiss; take what you can in the time you have. Because we all know it won’t last.

    Summary

    For twenty years, Henry of Skalitz was forgotten—buried in darkness, bound in rusted chains, waiting for rescue that never came.

    Hans Capon never stopped looking for Henry—never stopped chasing ghosts, never stopped losing hope, never stopped failing. And now, his son has done what he could not.

    Heinrich expected to find a prisoner. Instead, he found a ruin of a man—too frail to stand, too lost to recognize his own name. He takes Henry, carries him into the world he once knew.

    Henry has been found. But can men so thoroughly broken be saved?
