    Summary

    "Shall we?”

    “We? What d’you mean, we?”

    “I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”

    Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.

    It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?

    Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

    Summary

    The bell rings, the sound echoing through his mind as it races and wanders in and out of the boundaries of their shared memory. Blue eyes, a sunburnt nose, yellow brocade, a casual touch. A confession, or an admission. A hammer to break down these walls that separate them. Authority he has no right to.

    Henry keeps his eyes on the gallows, the shadows it cast, clean lines drawn on the mud in shade, painted as though by God’s steady hand.

     

    Twelve bells. Two dying men. Henry thinks about the past as the future calls with each ringing of the bell in Trosky.

    _____________________
    Twice Henry helps Hans face the lingering trauma of Trosky and Nebakov. Once, Hans returns the favor in Suchdol.

    Summary

    In order to comply with current standards, Spartan-II Blue Team needs to be officially assigned a mission handler, and Spartan Miller is under consideration for the job. This would be totally fine if he wasn't busy developing the world's most embarrassing crush on Blue Team's leader: John-117, the Master Chief himself.

    The Master Chief is still reeling from the death of his AI partner Cortana a year ago and still adapting to the culture shock of the world that moved on without him while he was "dead" for 5 years.

    Sometimes, unlikely people intersect and things might get just a little weird.
