    Summary

    A lurch in his stomach, like the moment of dark surprise when he misses a step going down the stairs. It soon turns into a gnawing sensation, a memory of hunger that seems to be there always, although Hans has since always had enough to eat. Hunger for touch. For Henry. For their desperate fumbling in his borrowed bed in the fortress. For more time together, despite the busy days that followed them in the Kuttenberg region after the siege, and then returning home to plan this, their great escape, their last chance.

     

    Rattay, Vienna, Sofia, Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem. Hans and Henry on pilgrimage to the Holy Land on borrowed time, through six cities, in six states of sin and sanctity.

    Summary

    Henry lowered his rifle and strode forward, gloved hand outstretched.

    Hans stared at it for a beat too long before grabbing it, letting Henry yank him to his feet. He adjusted the helmet with a sharp jerk, the adrenaline still buzzing under skin.

    He didn’t need saving, he thought.

    “I’ll admit…” Hans gritted out, voice rough “Hal… that wasn’t half bad.”

    Henry tilted his head—just enough for Hans to catch the smirk behind his mask.

    "Thank you...sir".

    Summary

    "Your uncle has died."

    It wasn't the worst news Hans had ever heard. In fact, it was the start of a beautiful, wealthy life. But there is a catch: to inherit the family fortune, Hans needs a spouse.

    Uncle Hanush hated many things: joy, spending money, and especially Hans's "lifestyle." So, naturally, Hans decides the best way to honor his uncle’s memory is to marry a man.

    Enter Henry. Ideally straight, conveniently poor, living right next door, and... surprisingly hung.
    It’s a simple business transaction. Surely, nothing could go wrong between a dramatic heir fueled by spite and his well-endowed handyman neighbor who insists he doesn't like men.

    (Or: A Modern AU where Hans needs a fake husband to spite his dead homophobic uncle, and Henry needs cash.)

    Summary

    Hans has seen fourteen Summers, twelve of them spent in a monastery where dull old men have little patience for a young boy's mischief. Having known only strict discipline and endless routine from childhood, Hans comes to believe that this is all life has to offer.

    Then Henry, a boy of the same age, becomes a novice at the monastery, and disrupts the everlasting lull of silence. Year after year, they share tears, joy, uncertainty, and the tender ache of their growing pains.
