Summary
“Is that what it is? A kingfisher?” Hans hums, and his head sways.
“Used to be,” Henry offers a smile he hopes is reassuring as he turns the leathery talisman in his palm. “Supposed to guard you from bad luck.”
“Oh, it didn’t do a very good job now, did it?” Hans’ eyes find his. “You and your birds, Hal… Nightingales and robins and yellowhammers.”
“My lord.”
“Promise me, hm?” Hans smiles. “You’ll think of me each time you think of birds.”
“Hans-”
“I reckon that’ll be plenty,” the young lord smiles again: the trickle of blood from his temple runs down his cheek. “It will work better to guard you, too, from any harm and any bad luck.”
“Hans, you need to stay awake. Please.”
“Maybe I’ll even haunt you, eh?” Something akin to a laugh erupts from his chest in a short, meagre burst. “Better than Toth, too, I promise.”After Suchdol and all the pain and tenderness it brought, Henry of Skalitz and his lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein steal some time for themselves: as summer dies and turns to autumn, and to winter cold, they choose to court each other with great honesty and love.
Even if they wear different names and play the riskiest game of pretend Bohemia has ever seen.

Summary
Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”
“A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”
The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”
They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”
“Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”
“Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”
Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.
“That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

In the quiet of Hans’ chambers, with danger looming outside the gates, they teeter on the edge: stay silent to preserve what they have, or risk a reckless confession that could ruin them both.

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
He wishes he didn’t know. Oh, fucking hell, how he wishes he didn’t know.
His life would be so much easier, so much more straight forward and less goddamn distracting if he didn’t know.
But no. Oh, no, he just had to ask the bloody smart-mouthed, rat-arsed peasant, to join him in the fucking baths.
And now Hans is being fucking haunted.
- In which Hans makes an unexpected discovery about Henry, and it throws him for a loop.-
