  1. Summary

    My own version of the myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus, slightly altered. Generally based on it, but I make no claims about accuracy to either myth or Ancient Greek life/religion/everything.

  2. Summary

    I went to Baldur's Gate and all I got was a hyperfixation with this fucking vampire.

    BG3 fics, mostly centered around my durge. Characters who will be prominent include:

    Kelyn: drow, bard, Dark Urge. Desperately trying to fight his nature, mostly coping with music. Soft and sweet and gentle and loves murder almost as much as he loves Astarion.
    Alythara: drow, cleric, Tav. Kelyn's older sister, highly protective of him. (Kissing Shadowheart and Halsin, which may or may not come up.)
    Yurissa: tiefling, warlock, absolute baby. Kelyn's teenage adopted daughter who thought he was dead until he got back to BG in Act 3, and then forcibly inserted herself into the party.

    Summary

    "Il mio passerotto," Hans recites in a singsong tone.

    He is met with a blank stare. Just what he is after. His heart surges joyfully.

    "Vita mia…" he continues.

    One hand brings Henry closer still, the other leaning past him to lock the door. Loudly. This action carries more meaning for Henry than the words.

    ✹✹✹

    Hans can speak fluent Italian. That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    Henry opens his mouth with the start of a word. But before he can answer, the disorientation only intensifies as another cloth is forced between his parted lips. Stilling his tongue, that wayward tongue of his. The one that said stupid things as often as it did pleasant things.

    "There is more to this than teaching you about knots, blacksmith’s boy."

    ✹✹✹

    Hans teaches Henry how to tie a knot and how to exact revenge in one gratifying lesson.

    Summary

    "I like girls," Henry says defensively.

    Barnaby can only grin. "Of course you do, they're one of God's creatures. But you wouldn't come all this way to ask me about a girl." He moves a little closer, the caps of their knees near to touching. "What's his name?"


    An unexpected visitor winds up in Barnaby's garden, only this time he isn't here to throw fists.

    Summary

    Something in him built and expanded, a pressure forcing through him that he couldn’t control – painful and intense like boiling water in a pot with a closed lid. His finger slipped on the buckle on his shoulder again. He threw his hands down and screamed; the frustration and exhaustion and pain exploding out of him in a howl. He drew his breath back in with a ragged sob, and the floor hit his knees. His useless hands landed stiff and half curled in his lap.

    “Henry? Jesus Christ, what is happening?”


    Henry struggles with his armour and the memories after the attack on the Jewish Quarter, luckily Hans is there to help.
