Summary
When modern scientists excavate the Capon crypt and reveal Hans Capon isn’t Hynce’s biological father, the media spins it as a historical curiosity—an intriguing twist for noble lineage enthusiasts. But the truth lies deeper: in a battlefield tent, in fevered whispers, in the hands of a man who loved Hans in secret for most of his adult life.
As the story rewinds to the Battle of Živohošť, we witness Hans’s final day through Henry’s eyes. What unfolds isn’t a mystery to solve, but a legacy to mourn.

Summary
Birdie of Pirkstein is nothing like a hare. He never thinks of dying; he has no need for dark, snug spaces; he flits in the sun and grins with his big teeth and rips his joy to bloody shreds.
Only a hare, of course, knows what it means to be ripped apart.
---
A brief study of grief recovery and of two opposing shades of loneliness, as presented in Henry's loss anxiety and Hans's claustrophobia. Also, how to love as one when you love very differently. KCD1 & KCD2 vignettes, one shot.
Absolutely lovesick, like enough to hurl.

Summary
The Bear Family and the Bear Restaurant through Natalie Berzatto's eyes. A collection of Nat's best and worst memories from 1996 to 2027.
The restaurant is a labor of love. The love that runs in Berzatto blood. The love cooked into Donna's Christmas feasts and Carmy's Michelin star menus. The love found in the cans of tomatoes and in the canister of Mikey's handgun. The love Nat eventually grew out of. The love that eventually became too much.

Summary
“I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.
“I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.
“I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”
“You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”
“Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”
“Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”
Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.
(Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

Summary
Camelot is a far-off dream, a place which was made for men. They travel through the forest, hunting.
Merlin lays with the deer and they with him, and he cannot bear their suffering the way he once cared about the suffering of men, so he splinters arrows before they pierce flesh and leaves the rotting bodies of unlucky creatures on the hot stones that circle the men’s fires.
If they cannot be taught their place in the forest, then they will leave it at least unsettled.
Men fear decay and death.
Merlin fears neither anymore.
(Arthur banishes Merlin from Camelot, so Merlin goes to the forest and slowly loses himself to its magic. By the time Arthur learns what he's lost, it's too late to bring Merlin back by his own will.)

Summary
“You and Edwin touched the sand and then you just fell over and turned into little light orbs!” Niko explained. Her dangling earrings shaped like little bears shuddered with the movement of her head. “Then this scary man in black showed up and said something like, ‘Ghosts shouldn’t meddle in that which they don’t understand.’ Then he brought us here and introduced us to Mr. Hob!”
“You can just call me Hob,” the adult man (Hob, apparently) said, pressing a mug of tea into Charles’ hands.
Charles was so confused and overwhelmed that he took the tea.

Summary
Edwin stumbled and choked on a laugh. Charles kept a solid hold on him so he wouldn’t fall. “What exactly do you call this style?”
“It’s an underground dance,” Charles said dismissively. “Doesn’t have a name. It was all the rage in my day though, trust me.”
Edwin laughed out loud this time. “Of course, I forgot about the ballroom dance craze of 1987.”
“Exactly. Now hold on!” Edwin knew Charles well enough by now to intuit what he meant, and he latched onto Charles’ shoulder with a death grip just before Charles dipped him low to the ground.
“You’re going to drop me!” he sputtered. Charles laughed and hauled him back up. They both knew full well that Charles would do no such thing. Edwin just liked to act scandalized for the fun of it.
“Have I ever dropped you before?” Charles asked smugly, falling back into a two-step.
“There’s a first time for everything,” Edwin retorted.

Summary
Charles knows it isn’t possible—incorporeal disposition and all—but Charles dove head first into Hell and managed to blow up a demon with a Molotov cocktail less than a year ago, so with that logic it could very well be possible that Charles’ long dead heart starts to beat again. It certainly feels like it is racing out of his chest, slowly crawling up the column of his throat.
The wrongness of the haunted look in Edwin’s eyes swims in the forefront of his mind, and something in him already knows.
(Or: a new case leads them someplace far too familiar for Edwin, full of more than just ghosts.)
