Summary
They break him, in Vranik.
Those closest to him die. Others turn their faces away from him. Abandoned and aching, Henry realises the abyss separating him from his liege lord and father, and from the young lord of Pirkstein, and from all those souls who knew him before Sigismund's forces razed Skalitz, is simply insurmountable.
Standing at the crossroads in the midst of scorching summer, he chooses the one and only path that offers respite from fear and shame. Even if it means betraying Radzig and Capon alike; even if it comes at the price of his soul and leads right into the maw of the Beast.

Summary
Had those hands that now dispense charity not stolen, and choked the last mortal breath out of the bodies of fellow men? Had that brow that now furrows over brewing soothing potions not furrowed over deadly poison, too?
Had this heart that now pounds in his chest like a bell of the monastery not hungered after things forbidden? Had it not rejoiced in dealing pain just as much as it had in helping others?
Henry casts aside the Benedictine habit after ten strange and sacred days among monks and hymns. Then, to infiltrate Vranik in the service of his liege lord, he puts on a mask—one of cruelty, corruption, and violence— and it proves to slip on a bit too easily.
He wears it well—and the comfort of it terrifies him.
An expansion of Henry’s time in Vranik: facing his own dark desires while vying for Erik’s favour—and then facing his worst fears the moment he loses that favour, suddenly and irrevocably.
Chapters 1-3 explore Henry - and Henry/Erik.
Chapters 4-5 are near pure Isterik.
Chapter 6 is catastrophe.Playlist here

Summary
If you asked poets and minstrels, and lovey-dovey aristocrats wooing naive wenches across Bohemia, they would tell you that absence makes the heart grow fonder. If you asked young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, however, he’d tell you it’s an idiotic, pestilential sentiment coined by some daft cunt who never had to suffer the terror and indignity of being parted from their heart’s desire. Or they’ve just never met Henry.
Each time Hans cannot see him, the walls of the world start closing in, threatening to crush him. Each time Henry is away, the young lord has to face the terrifying reality of longing, craving, dreaming, yearning—and the frustration of not knowing whether the blacksmith’s boy is even alive. Worse! The frustration of not knowing whether the bastard misses him as bad as Hans does.
And then, each time Henry returns to him, two crucial things dawn upon Capon’s head: one, he needs to remember there are books that speak of love he dares not voice himself. Two: he might not agree with absence making the heart fonder, but it sure does make his cock ache.
From Nebakov to Suchdol, a study of the times Hans missed Henry—and the times they reunited. Canon compliant; filling in the gaps.

Summary
Vi looks at the big clock on the far wall. 7:46AM. She’s one minute late today. Every morning for the past six months - well, every morning Vi’s been on shift, so she’s just assuming about the other days - she’s passed by at exactly 7:45AM, always at a brisk walk, always in a perfectly-tailored suit, not a single long, silky-looking hair out of place.
7:47AM. The crisp clack of heeled boots on concrete pulls Vi out of her musings. There must have been some sort of emergency, because the subject of Vi’s (minor) obsession walks past the fire station at a faster clip than normal. Which is sort of saying something, because Mystery Woman’s got legs for days, long and slender, visibly toned with long, lean muscle through her suit pants. At the faster clip, Vi has less time to admire her ass and tiny, tiny waist as she walks by, but that’s fine, because the view as she leaves is fantastic.
OR
Caitlyn's route to work as a detective at the 51st Precinct takes her right by Fire Station #516, and Vi's been pining after the gorgeous Mystery Woman for six months...what will happen when she finds out that Caitlyn's a cop (AKA: The Enemy)?

Summary
A sequel to isolation.
Jayce gets Viktor out of Piltover, and nothing is as easy as it should be.
“I feel as if I’m not quite myself,” Viktor says.
Jayce is quiet, and the silence stretches between them. When Jayce finally speaks, he says, “I don’t feel like myself either.”
Viktor meets his eyes. It’s a marvel, he thinks, that even when he is most lost to his own mind, Jayce can still follow.
