    Summary

    The sun was Hans' first lover, before any girl and long before Henry. Henry doesn't mind being second to that, because the sun left its kisses behind, in the freckles that dot Hans all over his back, clustered on the tops of his shoulders and arms, whispers of faded sunburns and brief boyhood escapes. Henry can't know every story, but he wants to ask, to try and hold all of them; he can't kiss every freckle, but he can try that, too.

    -

    Hans has a bad morning and Henry does his best to cheer him up, and drowns in his lover's body in the process.

    Summary

    The plot to free the king is afoot and a certain ledger they need is rumoured to be in the grandest palace in all of Prague. Hans and Henry get tasked with retrieving it, disguised as two of the invited nobles.

    Hans' noble has a scandalous reputation to uphold and Henry couldn't possibly be faulted for getting terribly distracted by it.

    But something strange keeps happening when the clock strikes midnight and it's up to Henry to figure out what.

    And use it to its fullest.

    Summary

    Battered and recovering from poison, Henry spends his days confined to Hans’ chambers at his lord’s insistent command. But time is seldom kind to bastards, and the moment he is well enough to stand, Henry is set to infiltrate a monastery where danger may be lurking behind every dim corridor and flickering candle. Determined that Henry should not embarrass himself, or get himself killed, Hans declares himself the finest Latin tutor a peasant could hope to have.

    Between lessons, races, and the threat of parting, they may end up learning far more than words.

    Summary

    "You fluster me constantly," Hans murmured softly, "Fuck Henry, the way you look at me sometimes. I'm tried of pretending I don't see it. " Henry shivered as Hans nosed his way up his jawline, "Denying to myself what it does to me."

    All of the blood in Henry's face went south, distressingly fast, and so did his knees when he realized that down was the only route of escape from between Hans' arms.

    Henry is dragged by his lord on a midnight hunt in search of a legendary quarry.

    It doesn't go well, and after being separated Henry finds Hans drinking from a mysterious phial he doesn't remember purchasing.
