Summary
Back in Prague, the sophisticated Black Bartosch had suffered from an abundance of lovers. Though here in Trosky, there was naught but loneliness and drought. For a formerly decorated tourney champion and soldier of Prague's very own Royal Garrison, the provincial little town seemed a backwater by comparison.
Henry of Skalitz had made for a wonderful divergence from Bartosch's woes when he'd arrived in Trosky. Though when his hopes for a fling are unfortunately dashed by that toff Capon, the only benefit is that the reserved Captain Thomas is spurred into action.
And what did Thomas expect? That the worldly and handsome Bartosch would remain here and unclaimed in Trosky forever? He'd surely been a fool when he'd called time on their fleeting romance. Does he have time to win his Black Cat back?
**
This story kicks off on the eve before Nebakov. Minimal Henry and Hans mentioned. This tale is about Thomas and Bartosch.

Summary
Henry didn't know what to do when Bartosch showed up at the Devil's Den. He was sure that he would never see the black clad knight again, He would stay with his Lord and that would be that, but fate had other plans for him.

Summary
As death creeps closer in Suchdol, Henry and Hans are drawn together by fear, by duty and something else neither of them fully understands. Stolen moments, fleeting touches, unspoken thoughts - everything feels too heavy to bear alone. Amid the chaos of the last night at Suchdol, is what they find a real closeness, or just a the comfort of surviving the storm together?
The Moments in Between expands on the canon Siege of Suchdol, exploring what could have happened between Hans and Henry between the game’s cutscenes. The story also follows Henry’s journey to find Jobst’s army, filling in the gaps the game leaves behind.
The chapters alternate between Henry’s and Hans’ perspectives, with occasional shifts to minor characters, while many of the events unfold in parallel.
If you enjoy canon-compliant works that stay true to the characters, with angst, tension, and tasteful smut, you’re in the right place. I’ve tried to stay as faithful as possible to the game’s events and realism, to bring you back to the time when you were obsessively playing it and to fill the emotional void left after completing the game.
There is part two "The Moments After" following up on the events of this work.

Summary
To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.
Chapter titles reference the associated in-game quest.
