Summary
It had been no different from other things men did in war.
No worse than a blade at the throat.
No worse than what had been done to him before.
Yet something in that cursed cell had followed him home.
Henry survives the cell. What comes after is harder: the way it seeps into sleep, into touch, into the rope he winds round his own wrist because one kind of fear is easier to bear than another.

Summary
"But I'm not just asking for myself," Hans continued, quieter. "If people start to wonder about the lack of an heir, it won't be me they turn on, we both know that. Jitka's reputation—she'll be worse than ruined when the gossip starts to come."
Or, when the heir to Rattay still can't sire a child one year into marriage, he comes begging for Henry's help. Henry thinks the task is simple, if insane: shoot a few loads in Jitka, then make like the wind so nobody suspects him.
Unfortunately for Hans, nothing is nearly ever so simple.

Summary
"Their first meeting had been desperate, half-starved bodies pressing against each other, scared and uncertain and wanting. He had wanted a do-over. If not for Henry’s stupidly loud voice leading Zizka and Kubyenka to invite themselves along, they might have had that – they might be tangled under a bear pelt together this very moment, rather than Hans watching Henry fight for each breath."

A week after the liberation of Suchdol, Hans Capon suggests a hunting trip to Henry. With a plan in the back of his mind and a poem prepared in case things go wrong, he thinks it will be the perfect chance to put words to whatever this thing is between them.
Except, Hans forgets who they are, and forgets that things can never be simple.
A surprise attack leaves Henry injured and out for the count, Hans loses what little cool he had left, and the planned discussion goes nothing like planned.
(or, 10k written in about 48 hours because i finished kcd2 and cannot stop rotating these two freaks around in my mind)

Summary
A century ago, Link walked behind her. Steps in sync with hers, eyes always upon her back, his face a mask of indifference. Zelda wanted nothing more than to rid herself of his constant presence.
Five years ago, he walked beside her. A smile upon his face, mischief in his eyes, his expressions loud and free. Zelda basked in their joint freedom, their choices finally uninhibited.
Now, he walks before her. Sword drawn, eyes vigilant, ready to shield her from any danger, to keep her from being torn away from him once again. Zelda, truthfully, is at a loss for how to react.
A look at their lives before the Calamity, after the Calamity, and after the Upheaval.

Summary
“Caught a cough yourself, have you?”
The physician called it a low fever, nothing uncommon, and advised plenty of rest, warmth, and light broths. Healthy men often took a fever alongside a cough, he explained; the body simply worked to restore its balance by burning the illness out rather than letting it linger.
Henry believed it. Hans wanted to.
But some winters ask more than endurance—and some nights demand more than faith.

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.

Summary
If you asked poets and minstrels, and lovey-dovey aristocrats wooing naive wenches across Bohemia, they would tell you that absence makes the heart grow fonder. If you asked young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, however, he’d tell you it’s an idiotic, pestilential sentiment coined by some daft cunt who never had to suffer the terror and indignity of being parted from their heart’s desire. Or they’ve just never met Henry.
Each time Hans cannot see him, the walls of the world start closing in, threatening to crush him. Each time Henry is away, the young lord has to face the terrifying reality of longing, craving, dreaming, yearning—and the frustration of not knowing whether the blacksmith’s boy is even alive. Worse! The frustration of not knowing whether the bastard misses him as bad as Hans does.
And then, each time Henry returns to him, two crucial things dawn upon Capon’s head: one, he needs to remember there are books that speak of love he dares not voice himself. Two: he might not agree with absence making the heart fonder, but it sure does make his cock ache.
From Nebakov to Suchdol, a study of the times Hans missed Henry—and the times they reunited. Canon compliant; filling in the gaps.

Summary
“Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”
A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”
He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

Summary
After a poison steal Hans of his memories of the previous years, he wakes with a wife he doesn't remember marrying and a toddler he doesn't know.
There is also something he cannot figure out about his bodyguard.
Hans first noticed the man during his recovery, a strong figure who never seemed to leave his side. He carried himself like a soldier, though his posture was looser than the guards at the gate, and his tongue far less disciplined. He spoke to Hans with a boldness that bordered on insolence, his words more fitting for a comrade than for a servant.
In time, sharp words and the reminder of position were enough to put him in his place, and his boldness was curbed. Still, the unease lingered. Hans could not recall ever appointing Henry, nor why the man seemed to look at him as though mourning something that was not spoken of.

Summary
Jinu died—he sacrificed himself, surrendering his soul to Rumi to save the people and repair the Honmoon. Or so he thought. Instead of oblivion, he wakes in a strange limbo, caught between worlds.
Time loses meaning as he drifts, lulled by the haunting beauty of Rumi’s voice echoing through the void. He doesn’t know how long he remains, listening, yearning, until at last Rumi’s voice calls to him—not with a song, but a command. Come back. And somehow, impossibly, he does.
Or—
An AU where Jinu is transformed into Rumi’s sword and strangely soul bound to her.
And after four hundred years, it is Rumi—and perhaps her friends—who teach him not just how to survive, but how to truly live again. With him, danger follows.

Chemistry of a Car Crash by HildegardtheB

Summary
Over a decade ago, Jaime Lannister and Brienne Tarth were actors on the culturally iconic and certifiably cheesy, teen drama "Westerosi" (think of a slightly more obscenity-laced "Degrassi" ). They played Alyce “Dunc” Duncan and Roman Webber -- enemies who become begrudging friends and eventually fall in love.
Their chemistry on the show is off-the-charts, and Jaime and Brienne soon become "Westerosi’s" it-couple. However in real life, the two barely tolerate each other -- and that’s on a good day. Not surprisingly, when their term on the show is up, they part ways expecting never to speak again.
Flash forward to ten years after their final show. Jaime is involved in a horrific car crash. During a night of black despair, he calls Brienne. She is shocked. And suspicious. And doesn’t know what to say. Because they despise each other. They utterly and completely despise each other. Well … don’t they?

James Buchanan Barnes is no longer the Winter Soldier.
James Buchanan Barnes still sometimes feels like there’s gaps in his memory, like he’s missed something, like he just doesn’t get it.
Like now. Because there’s a dark-haired woman rummaging around his kitchen, and a blonde woman playing with his cat on his living room floor, and a very big, very bearded man drinking vodka on his couch.
And he has no idea who any of them are.
(Or: everyone’s favorite ex-Hydra disaster couple has to deal with Nat’s ex-Red Room disaster family).
