    Summary

    He should draw his last knife, the one tucked into his boot- he’s got access, and plenty of time to do it. He should kill the lowly dh’oine right then and there. Instead, he freezes, and he looks.

    Vernon’s eyes are ablaze, fixed firmly on the elf even as he squirms and struggles for breath. His lips are curled into a snarl, his hat slightly askew and covering his hairline. He’s got a smudge of dirt along his cheekbone.

    It’s a moment of weakness, a split-second of distraction.

    Five times Iorveth could have killed Vernon Roche, but didn't (and one time he didn't even consider it).

    Summary

    The first time Henry tells Hans what to do – no ‘you should’, no ‘please’ – they are about six cups of wine deep each, so he forgives him.

    -

    And five other times, until Hans finally gets what he apparently wants.

    Summary

    “Who are you?” the newcomer grunts, gaze trailing up and down Hans’ body.
    Oh. Now that’s a question he hasn’t heard in… a while.
    “You don’t know who I am?” he blurts out, unable to hold his surprise back.
    The blacksmith removes a glove and wipes his forehead on the sleeve of a rundown, simple shirt.
    “Should I?”
    Well, that’s an obvious answer but… Hans takes a look at himself. His clothes are fine, yes, but not leagues more than a wealthy merchant’s, or a noble passing through town. He also hasn’t washed in two days, and his hair must be an incomprehensible mess. He will count himself lucky if he doesn’t have straw stuck in there.
    “Uh…”
    Only then does he notice just how clear the blacksmith’s eyes are. They blink, without ever moving away from Hans, awaiting an answer.
    He doesn’t know what possesses him to say:
    “I’m Hans.”

    --

    There is a new blacksmith in Rattay and Hans Capon, having deserted his duties as a lord, has nothing better to do than bother him, watch him work and feed him kolaches, in no particular order. If he pretends to be a filthy commoner while he does so, and Henry buys it, it shall not be used as any measure of either their intelligence.

    Summary

    A look at Henry and Hans's relationship through the lens of sacks (or: Five times Hans struggles to express his feelings and the one time he succeeds).

    “Why?” Hans scoffs. “Because I’m useless? A piece of noble scenery, good for a wedding or a ransom and nothing fucking else. If only I was a blacksmith’s boy, right? Or a Jew. No one would think twice about having me along then. We’d go off on this ridiculous suicide mission, and if I got caught, it wouldn’t fucking matter.”
    Henry snorts. “That’s the dumbest thing that’s ever come out of your mouth. And I have a damned long list.” He takes a step forward, eyes liquid in the orange candlelight. “What do you think happens to soldiers in war, my Lord? To the peasants, and the bastards, and the blacksmith’s boys? The ones without blue blood and silver armour?”
    “I –” Hans swallows. “I suppose –”
    “No one has to worry about them getting ransomed, aye. But that’s because they get fucking killed instead. They get stabbed and gutted. Shot. Beheaded. Hanged.” Henry huffs a breath. Gentles. “I’m sure you’d make a fair corpse, Sir Hans, but I’d rather not test that theory.”

    Henry used to care when he killed people. Now he doesn't.

    Hans reckons with the question of who's to blame.

    Summary

    "Where do you think you're going?" Hans demanded, irritable again.

    "What, am I not allowed to sleep yet?" Henry snapped. "And what else does my lord require?"

    "Cool your temper, Hal. Come." Hans patted the empty space beside him on the bed. "Or do you honestly prefer that cold straw bed?"

    Henry hesitated, his heart beating faster. They'd shared beds before, when the tavern had only a cramped room, or when the forest floor was cold and they gripped each other for warmth.

    But here? Hans was in no danger of being robbed or frostbitten… He really didn't have an excuse-

    "Henry." Hans' voice was like a slap. "Divest yourself of that stinking armor and come here."

    Summary

    “Why’d you really want to come?” Henry asks after he's eaten. He's stretched out in the shade, tunic unbuttoned at the neck and sleeves rolled up. Hans hums in the shape of a question.

     

    “You never want to come gather herbs, and you’re being suspiciously quiet…" Henry trails off. "It’s not like you to be subjected to labor and not complain.”

     

    Henry goes to gather herbs. Hans tags along.

    Summary

    Once again Love, that loosener of limbs, seizes me - sweetbitter, inescapable, crawling thing.
    Sappho fragment 130 (rayor 2014/2023 trans.)
    -
    Several times Hans thinks about Henry and his hands - a peasant’s hands, a page’s hands, a friend’s hands - and one time Hans doesn’t think and does something about those hands.

    Originally:

    Five time Hans thinks about Henry’s hands, and one time he does something about it.

    Summary

    “It wouldn’t have been… proper!"
    “Proper?” Hans gave a hoot of laughter. “When the hell have you ever been proper with me?”
    “You know what I mean! It’s one thing to mouth off at your lord, it’s another to… you know…”

    Hans is deeply offended to find out Henry never let himself fantasize about him during all the months he was hopelessly pining.

    Summary

    After the Siege of Suchdol is brought to an end, Henry and Hans work out where exactly they've left things with each other.

    .

    Stepping over the threshold into the bedchamber and bolting the door behind him, a shudder wracks through him, explodes in his veins like birds startling from treetops into air. It is impossible for his body to ignore the echo of the desperate hour they passed together here on the eve of the last battle. The memory hangs in every shadow. Each floorboard knows the rhythm of their battered, beating hearts.

    Summary

    The problem, Hans thinks, is that Henry is simply too skilled a lover.

    Hans muses on the nature of he and Henry's relationship. While Henry is away, he decides to give him everything he deserves upon his return, his doubts about his own suitability be damned. But can he get out of his own head for long enough to give Henry the night of debauchery he wants to?

    Summary

    Hans grabs his bicep, fingers digging into the flesh the way he might test a fruit for ripeness. Henry curls his forearm and makes a fist beneath the water, squeezing tight. He watches Hans' face: the flushed redness of heat and strong drink, the shock as his fingers meet firm resistance.

    Hans slides his palm over the wet fabric, pressing hard, testing the edges of the muscle. Henry feels like a horse skittish about being shoed, restrained from bolting only by a strong grip on the bridle.

    -

    In the bathhouse, Hans and Henry find out how they measure up against each other.

    Summary

    After the noose, something changes.

    “Jesus,” Hans says, incredulity finally snapping his control in two, “what has gotten into you?”

    Henry’s head jerks back. “What?”

    “You!” Hans says, waving his hands as if to encompass all of Henry. “Why are you being so...” Hans clicks his teeth together. The words jumble and flutter in his head: subservient, obedient, coolheaded, patient, forgiving, why did you stick around even when I told you to go?

    “Kind,” Hans finally settles on, weakly.

    Summary

    When Henry found out one of the biggest tournaments in Bohemia would be held in Kuttenberg in a couple days he decided to sign up. As a faceless black knight.

    After all, Hans was busy charming local lords and he had nothing better to do.

    What he didn't expect was that the black knight would catch his lord's attention. Nor that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from responding.

    The sleepless night before they’re set to leave Nebakov and the entire Trosky region behind, Henry stitches up a wounded friend and keeps another warm.
