    Edit: I added some illustrations

    Poděbrady, the 18th October, in the year of our Lord 1403

    ----
    But Hans grabbed the cup of wine from a side table, and put it to his lips. The red liquid felt numb on his tongue. He heard his own voice then he reached for the handle and the bolt. “I requested that you stand next to me during the ceremony, tomorrow. Can you do that?” he hated how cold he sounded. Why wasn’t he able to say - I need you to be there with me. Otherwise, I will drown –

    But there was no answer. His friend- his partner- was rarely at a loss for words.

    Finally, he managed to take a glance back over his shoulder, but Henry didn’t look at him. He stood tall, closed the weapon belt around himself, gripped his sword and looked out of the window, although there was nothing in the pitch black sky to look at.

    Henry breathed audibly. “If it’s the last thing I do.”

    Summary

    “You’re stupidly bold,” Hans says, and Henry’s smile widens until his nose wrinkles as he replies, “And do you like that?”

    “Maybe.”

    As he slips into his hose, Henry’s voice behind him starts low then rises, as though during the act of saying the thing, he finds some more boldness to push him through to the end of the sentence, “Then next time, you’ll have an answer besides maybe.”

    Next time. A shiver runs through Hans that he hides in the process of throwing his pourpoint around his shoulders. “Next time,” he says, and starts higher than he ends, losing his own boldness halfway through.

     

    It starts at the bathhouse, a drunken mistake, and then continues, and continues, and continues. KCD1 scenes reimagined with more intentional Hansry.

    Summary

    Steve left the bathroom with blood and bullshit pounding in his ears. Bullshit. He knew he should go back. Help Nancy get home, help her change out of her drink-covered shirt, tuck her into bed, and tell her they would talk in the morning. He knew he should go back. But Steve, to his core, was an angry, selfish little boy. And that selfish little boy wanted to get fucking hammered.

    Jonathan would get Nancy home, anyway.
