    Summary

    “Do you have scales?” Arthur asks. “Wings?”

    The cow at Merlin’s side begins munching on the heads of his handful of wheat.

    “Oh, I see," he says, "You’re an oaf."

    “What did you call me?”

    “An oaf. A pumpkin short of its seeds. A turnip with no greens or roots.”

    “How dare you.”

    “Quite plainly, I thought, but I suppose given your intelligence or lack thereof, I might have been more direct the first time.”

    Arthur draws himself up to his full height, aghast.

    “You,” he says. “Are the strangest, most repulsive hatchling I have ever met, and I should like nothing more than to escape your company immediately.”

    (Pride & Prejudice AU - Lady Ygraine asks her dear friend Lady Nimueh to help her children get off their asses and strike out into the marriage market. With her help, Arthur soon finds himself introduced to a mysterious, magical man who calls himself a botanist.)

    Summary

    Henry's nightmares have been worsening, and running away from them isn't helping.

    Before… everything… Henry never had trouble sleeping. If it weren't for the nightmares that unfurl behind his eyelids each time he closes them for longer than a blink, he’d sleep like the dead. His ma used to say that the house could splinter and fall to pieces in the middle of the night and he would sleep through it all.

    But now, Henry wakes up in a cold sweat most nights, back sticking to the bed, shivering from the chill that sweeps over him as his skin meets the air.

    Summary

    “Caught a cough yourself, have you?”

    The physician called it a low fever, nothing uncommon, and advised plenty of rest, warmth, and light broths. Healthy men often took a fever alongside a cough, he explained; the body simply worked to restore its balance by burning the illness out rather than letting it linger.

    Henry believed it. Hans wanted to.

    But some winters ask more than endurance—and some nights demand more than faith.

    Summary

    At the end, Hans knows that every lover—even Beatrice—must die.

    My first Hans fic of the KCD2 era. A prose & poem study of Lord Capon’s changing understanding of love and obsession with (his own) death, dragged out into the open by the extraordinary violence that is by knighthood demanded of him.

    Also, a resurrection of KCD1’s original incarnation of Lord Capon: ferocity, honest and joyful; the mania of privilege; the cage of youth; and true love above all.

    Summary

    Birdie of Pirkstein is nothing like a hare. He never thinks of dying; he has no need for dark, snug spaces; he flits in the sun and grins with his big teeth and rips his joy to bloody shreds.

    Only a hare, of course, knows what it means to be ripped apart.

    ---

    A brief study of grief recovery and of two opposing shades of loneliness, as presented in Henry's loss anxiety and Hans's claustrophobia. Also, how to love as one when you love very differently. KCD1 & KCD2 vignettes, one shot.

    Absolutely lovesick, like enough to hurl.
