    Summary

    "Shall we?”

    “We? What d’you mean, we?”

    “I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”

    Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.

    It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?

    Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

    Summary

    Just thinking nonstop about how ATJ considered Furiosa and Jack to have a kind of marriage.

    Slightly interconnected, chronological scenes from a Wasteland romance. Most can be read as stand alones. The first 8 are canon compliant if you squint.

    Summary

    Jack balls his hands into fists and lets his short nails bite his palms as he stoops through the last passage into the alcove, his eyes on the rocky ground as he enters.

    The unmistakable metallic click of a knife opening echoes off the rock walls.

    Praetorian Jack looks for alone time in a secret corner of the Citadel. His apprentice does the same.

    Summary

    Henry lets the tent flap drop and turns to face him. “Do they know who I am?”

    “Just an old friend.”

    “Do they know I killed all of your other old friends because you asked me nicely?”

    “No, Henry,” Gules says. “They don’t. And I’d like to keep it that way.”

    With his lord in captivity and Istvan Toth's torture fresh in his memory, Henry finds himself running short on solace. A chance encounter on a rainy night allows him a reprieve from duty. As it happens, one sometimes hears the voice of God in unexpected places.

    Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Via Argentum quest.

    Summary

    The carving on the jadeite was minimal but exquisite, from the hint of thick veins running up the shaft to the gentle curve of the proud head; its ridges and valleys a facsimile of life. Had Maomao guessed, when she procured it from the Verdigris house, that he would keep such a thing for himself? Would she think it base of him to resort to these means? It would only denigrate him further in her mind. Jinshi hoped she at least had a suspicion.
