Summary
Hans Capon has no shortage of enemies who threaten his greatest secret. Will his undoing be a meddling uncle, a bride who knows too much, or the Royal Chamberlain with his clever schemes?
Leaving the ashes of Suchdol behind, Hans and Henry ride east—eager to outrun duty, wedding bells, and perhaps even Lady Fortuna herself.
But a trail of stolen silver and a missing horse soon drag them back into a war that refuses to end, even without a king on the throne.
How long can Hans and Hal keep their love hidden? And when it comes to light—will it be enough to hold them together, or will the world tear them apart?
This fic follows Lord of the Distant Isles but can be read on its own.

Summary
Gabriel brought his knees to his chest and settled his chin atop them. “I wish wanting them here was enough to keep them.”
And Javier’s chest stretched again, but this time with a dull kind of ache. “…Me too Gabe, me too.”
[A study into love and grief, in a world that makes time for neither.]

Summary
I feel this is something that means more to me than you.
Maybe he was right. Maybe he was wrong. But the words couldn't come up- he couldn't get them out of his throat. Standing there in the evening sweat of the muggy swamps surrounding Shady Belle, Charles looked both too at-ease and too uncomfortable. There was something pressing in those dark eyes, sunlight a filter off the warmth of black honey. Soulful eyes, visage usually drawn a scowling furrow over them. But their entirety made Arthur's fingers itch at the tips, grasping and twitching at empty air in desire for a piece of paper and a pencil to sketch it. To capture the likeness of the huntsman before him, in all that he was.

Summary
“Was thinkin’… Turkeys make funny sounds,” Arthur rubs his face, trying to keep himself from giggling again like a fool. Charles, from his spot on the ground an arm’s length from Arthur, stares at him. Arthur stares back, a panicking alarm bell prancing its way into his mind. That was probably a stupid thing to say.
Then, Charles bursts into his own fit of giggles as he takes in a shaky breath and exhales it as a surprisingly accurate imitation of a turkey gobble.

"This is a stupid idea."
"Really fucking stupid." Charles agrees and kisses him again anyway.
