Summary
Loss can take many shapes. For Hans Capon, it is the freedom he lost to an arranged marriage, a simple happiness of living in the moment lost to his new duties. More recently, it is the temper he lost in a single training session, followed by a lost fight with his pride. Then there is a certain blacksmith-shaped hole in his heart — and, most lately, a lost struggle with water, which seems to have cost him dearly, followed by a lost hope. Can any of it be recovered, or is it gone forever?
***
When Henry vanishes after a fall into a ravine, the river leaves almost nothing behind, only a lord who refuses to stop searching. While Hans is slowly breaking under the weight of grief and unanswered questions, hope thins and doubt creeps in. Love becomes both their greatest weakness and the most powerful weapon of all.

Summary
This man understood music; he knew how to play with sound, with form, how to create atmospheres that wrapped the room in a colourful haze, conjuring entire worlds. And he was familiar enough with English too—essential for the international market. He would go places.
Everything was there. It just needed refining.
And it was Hans’ job to get him there.

He looks at the boy, his boy, who watches him with blue eyes fringed with thick black lashes, his full lips curved in a sad smile. As though Hans’ thoughts are written, clear as day, on his face. When we leave, that smile says, things will be back to normal. To pain, and fear, and that crushing emptiness that nothing else in the world can fill. So drink up here, touch, kiss; take what you can in the time you have. Because we all know it won’t last.

Summary
To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.
