    Summary

    Henry sighed. “Don’t worry, Hans. I won’t tell anyone you’re my soulmate. I’d rather forget it myself.”

    Hans crossed his arms. “Aye, well.”

    Henry huffed. Had he really nothing more to say? Henry only realized he was brushing his thumb over his own soulmark on his left wrist when he noticed Hans staring at the movement. Henry stopped instantly, hiding the wrist with the symbol behind his back.

    “And after the championship you’ll leave, yes?” Hans said after a moment.

    “With a stellar recommendation from you,” Henry stated as a fact.

    Maybe Henry imagined it, but the corners of Hans’s mouth twitched ever so slightly. “Of course.”

    Summary

    "What?"
    "His son!"
    "Oh. The bastard?"
    Hans has never met either Radzig or the mysterious boy he kept hidden before apparently revealing him to the world in a flourish, and with a lack of explanation Hanush had called typical of his old friend.
    "Legitimised," Hanush corrects.
    "What difference does it make?"
    "It means you are not to speak to him like some commoner unless you want to get in trouble."
    Hans keeps his mouth shut on the thought that trouble sounds better than the excruciating dullness that is his life.

    --

    Hans and Henry meet at Sir Divish's wedding, both fifteen and of noble status. It still doesn't stop them from punching each other on the first day.

    A duel and a half later, Hanush makes Hans write to Henry in apology, and an odd friendship begins. Until it becomes more and, possibly, worse.

    Summary

    It was 1419, sixteen years had passed since the Siege of Suchdol, and Bohemia sat on a knife’s edge.

    When friend and foe stood on both sides of a battlefield, there was no such thing as neutrality in war.

    Or the one where Hanush had been right. Hans’ importance had only grown over the years. The only issue was that sometimes he felt he was not enough of a man to fill his own shoes.

    Summary

    “Hans.”

    Silence falls at last, sudden and complete. They stand facing one another, close enough now that Henry can see the pulse fluttering at Hans’ throat. Close enough to see the way his hands tremble, just slightly, at his sides. Henry steps forward and sets the book firmly on the bed between them. He straightens, meeting Hans’ eyes at last.

    “I know you wrote this,” he says.

    Hans’ carefully assembled mask falters, its edges cracking to reveal a sharp pain behind his eyes. Then he laughs, once, short and broken, and drags a hand through his hair. Behind it all, a small and delicate flicker of something remains, a trembling ounce of hope.
    “How,” Hans stops himself, taking a deep breath before continuing, “how much of it did you read?”

    ...

    “All of it.”

    OR: What if that book and potion we find under Hans’ bed in the Devil’s Den were ACTUALLY his (and written about a certain someone), and Henry finds it…?

    Summary

    Struggling to keep his professional dreams afloat, Henry is ready to give up on becoming a top-league ice hockey player and resign to being a welder for the rest of his life. But moments before a tryout that could change everything, he receives a call from a friend that he has not seen for over a year.

    Hans has everything he could ever want: the stellar career, the nuclear family, the penthouse in the city, the more-than-comfortable lifestyle… But when his picture-perfect life comes crashing down around him, there is only one person that he can count on to help pick up the pieces.

    They say that time heals all wounds, but some leave scars. A story about friendship, family, ice hockey, politics, summers, winters, heartbreak, and love.
