    Summary

    The clouds have taken on colorful hues, purples and pinks and oranges, swirling across the sky like soap on the surface of a tub. Hans turns onto his side. Henry watches him from the edge of his periphery. If he doesn’t move. If he stays just like this. Sunset glow, sweetness from the bun clinging to his mouth, Hans’s breath breaking against the side of his face. Perfect. Everything here and now is perfect.

     

    A pair of beaten metal rings. A package of sweet buns. A pitcher of red wine and two cups. A freshly washed blanket. A clearing in the woods. A superstition—bad luck to see the other party before a wedding. Through the makings of a perfect day, Henry navigates Rattay and endless possibility on his way to his secret wedding.

    Summary

    When the tears finally ran out, Henry was angry.

    He didn’t think he’d ever been so angry.

    He didn’t know he could be so angry.

    He was drawn taught like a bow string, body flush with potential energy that needed to find somewhere to go. His muscles were stiff, struggling to move towards anything that wasn’t revenge.

    He hardly slept, he ate barely to keep his strength up enough that he could lift his sword, and he practiced, swinging his sword late into the night, until his blistered hands were so worn and cracked that blood stained the leather on the hilt of his blade.

    It wasn’t enough.

    ___

    In which Rattay is raided just weeks after Skalitz. Hanush is abducted and Hans is presumed dead. In his efforts to find Hanush by infiltrating Istvan's camp, he finds the young lord of Rattay, alive, and being offered up to him as a reward for his loyalty. Henry will abandon his mission - he'll do whatever he can to get Hans to safety.

    Summary

    There was only one Silver Skalitz in Bohemia, and it had already burned to the ground.

    It stood to reason that there was only one Henry of Skalitz in the world, too.

    No more painful feeling exists than realizing you're in love with a dead man. (Even if you still don't know this particular agony is called love.)

    Or: while Hans Capon languishes at Maleshov Fortress, he denies the truth--that Henry was captured, tortured, and killed by Istvan Toth--to himself for as long as he can, until it becomes inescapable.

    Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Taking French Leave quest.
