    Summary

    Henry Skalitz knows fire season at Yosemite National Park is not something to take lightly from his years as a ranger stationed in the park. Smoke on the horizon is the first sign that everything can change in an instant.

    Hans Capon was never meant to stay. A wealthy donor who thinks the world revolves around him, he’s a temporary presence in a place built on endurance.

    But as the valley heats up and the line between duty and desire thins, Henry finds himself protecting more than the land he loves. And when fire finally comes, both men must decide what remains after smoke and ash.

    Summary

    “What happened?” he whispers, reaching around Henry’s tight shoulders to shove the door shut.
    “Nothing,” Henry mumbles, his usual, stubborn self.
    Hans tilts his head back to force him to meet his eye.
    “I don’t feel particularly patient this morning,” he states plainly. It’s true on many accounts. One being the feat of restraint he demonstrates in holding back from kissing Henry senseless. And he is making it rather difficult with that silly moustache of his, framing a guilty little pout.
    “I tripped.”

    Henry comes back to the Den limping and Hans goes all out taking care of him.

    Summary

    Hans is rapidly starting to hate Ruthard Palace. He’s sick of staring at nothing but the Ruthard’s dour decorative choices, the same miserable colours and motifs in Kuttenberg that he’d had plenty of time to grow weary of in Maleshov. He’s sick of not being able to say this with the would-be scion of the Ruthards somehow always within earshot, lest he cause offence. He's sick of Brabant, who he’s now spent far too much time with and has heard every one of his stories at least twice. He’s sick of Žižka and Hynek cutting him out of conversations, out of decisions, out of his rightful place at the table.

    He’s been here for barely three days, but if he has to remain within these four walls for even ten minutes more, he’s going to lose his mind.

    Henry co-ordinates a jailbreak to give Hans a small reprieve from his effective house arrest, and Hans gets a glimpse into what Henry was doing in Kuttenberg while he was being held in Maleshov.
