Summary
When his injured, exhausted son had burst into Pirkstein’s hall after disappearing without word into Vranik, the last thing Henry had said before collapsing feverishly into his arms had been a furious, bewildered, begging whisper of ‘father?’
His son was battered and bruised, but not broken. As it always was, with Henry.
God above, as it always would be, he’d prayed, over and over again, sitting vigil at Henry’s bedside; for the first time in either of their lives being allowed the simple domesticity of sitting beside his sick child, worrying, and waiting for him to get better.

Summary
Just after the siege, Hans welcomed the anticipated time alone with Henry. They had a heart-to-heart talk. Henry made a vow while naked. Hans saved himself from being deprived of next level intimacy because Henry had falsely believed that the plan was changed and they were going to just cuddle and sleep.
All was well, except maybe Hans should have thought this through because he had to ride a horse in the morning.Bookmarked by drawthequeen

Summary
“Did you think I just really wanted to spend the day in the forest?” Hans kissed the slope of his nose, staring him in the eyes with eyebrows raised slightly.
“I thought you wanted to spend the day with me.” Henry’s voice was teasing, and he pulled at one of the strands of blond hair, just to see Hans bite his lip.
“Oh, I do. And the night as well.”
