    Summary

    Henry gets branded after being caught killing someone.
    This isn’t an evil!run Henry — and this event sends him into a deep depression, with an overwhelming flood of intrusive thoughts about his relationship with Hans.

    And just before the iron touched his skin, his eyes met Hans’s.
    Again.
    Through the blur of tears, through the swarm of shouting faces.
    Tears welled in his eyes too, and he was shaking his head, slowly, helplessly. His mouth hung half open, trembling, forming words Henry couldn’t hear, but could almost read.
    «I’m sorry…»
    I’m sorry.
    Why?
    Why was he just standing there?
    Why the fuck was he just standing there and watching this happen?

    Summary

    "Are you cold?" Henry asked.

    Without armor, in hose and gambeson, he was still an imposing figure: tall and broad, hands stained with dirt and blood, jaw stubbornly stiff. His bare feet were a shock of white in the dirt. He held his helm with both hands, embracing the metal into his belly. His hair was damp with sweat. There was another string of bruises on his throat, shaped like two wide thumbs.

    Hans looked away. The tunic around Henry's knee had darkened. Blood was trickling into the dirt.

    Hans kills a man, prepares for a wedding, and tries to do at least one thing right.

    (Or: five times Hans and Henry didn't share a bed, and one time they did.)

    Summary

    If you asked poets and minstrels, and lovey-dovey aristocrats wooing naive wenches across Bohemia, they would tell you that absence makes the heart grow fonder. If you asked young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, however, he’d tell you it’s an idiotic, pestilential sentiment coined by some daft cunt who never had to suffer the terror and indignity of being parted from their heart’s desire. Or they’ve just never met Henry.

    Each time Hans cannot see him, the walls of the world start closing in, threatening to crush him. Each time Henry is away, the young lord has to face the terrifying reality of longing, craving, dreaming, yearning—and the frustration of not knowing whether the blacksmith’s boy is even alive. Worse! The frustration of not knowing whether the bastard misses him as bad as Hans does.

    And then, each time Henry returns to him, two crucial things dawn upon Capon’s head: one, he needs to remember there are books that speak of love he dares not voice himself. Two: he might not agree with absence making the heart fonder, but it sure does make his cock ache.

    From Nebakov to Suchdol, a study of the times Hans missed Henry—and the times they reunited. Canon compliant; filling in the gaps.
