    Summary

    When Henry's gone for longer than either of them expected, Hans is left alone with his darkest thoughts of hopelessness and despair.

    A fic inspired by that melancholy look on Hans' face you can occasionally catch when he's standing by himself, waiting for Henry, and the song "The Night Will Always Win" by Elbow.

    Summary

    “Maybe I just like having you around. And having you fight in the Leipa name means you’ll be around more.”

    Henry’s smile slips a little, then comes back, even bigger, touching the corners of his eyes, wrinkling his nose. “I’m… glad to hear that. But I’m not fighting for the Lords of Leipa. I’m fighting for you.”

     

    In the Rattay tourney arena, amidst the clash of sword on shield and armor, Hans finds an unexpected softness. A softening of the harsh sunlight, of the thick summer air, of the glare bouncing off the armor in the arena, of the white knuckled grip Hans has on the wooden railing. Of the future, his elusive inheritance, the endless wait for something, anything, to happen. Of all the yellow and black around him, his colors, his town, his fight, his champion Henry.

    A story inspired by the Capon’s Champion quest.

    Summary

    "I must say, Henry, when you invited me here I hadn't expected you to be outfitted with your very own band." The conversation lulls as Hans pauses to express his point, the merry melodies from The Hole carrying from two doors down.

    "They've always been a menace, even when my husband were still alive." Magdalena scoffs, unimpressed, but Hans's spirits are not so easily dampened.

    The sound of his palms slapping his noble thighs punctuate his exclamation. "Nonsense! I think it's marvellous. Music and room to dance without making a spectacle of yourself."


    A small feast is held in the garden of Henry's forge- and what's a party without a little dancing?

    Summary

    “Hans, I know. You don’t have to do this, it’s alright. I forgave you already.”

    “You shouldn’t, though. Kurva, Henry, I was unbelievable to you! You should be furious; you should have happily left me on the gallows back there because of what I did, but instead, you save me and then go on and say things like—like…you…I-I just…fuck’s sake, I don’t know. I don’t understand you at all.”

    Lord Capon and his faithful page, Henry of Skalitz, have a surprisingly heartfelt talk on an evening ride. Henry realizes how much the young heir of Rattay has come to mean to him, finding the revelation a bit…confusing.
