    Summary

    “Hans.”

    Silence falls at last, sudden and complete. They stand facing one another, close enough now that Henry can see the pulse fluttering at Hans’ throat. Close enough to see the way his hands tremble, just slightly, at his sides. Henry steps forward and sets the book firmly on the bed between them. He straightens, meeting Hans’ eyes at last.

    “I know you wrote this,” he says.

    Hans’ carefully assembled mask falters, its edges cracking to reveal a sharp pain behind his eyes. Then he laughs, once, short and broken, and drags a hand through his hair. Behind it all, a small and delicate flicker of something remains, a trembling ounce of hope.
    “How,” Hans stops himself, taking a deep breath before continuing, “how much of it did you read?”

    ...

    “All of it.”

    OR: What if that book and potion we find under Hans’ bed in the Devil’s Den were ACTUALLY his (and written about a certain someone), and Henry finds it…?

    Summary

    The moment the lock is in the latch and there's a solid barrier between the two of them and the rest of the rotten world, Henry’s hands dance frantically down the buttoned and tied front of Hans’ gambeson.

    “It's already been looked at, Hal.”

    “Not by me.”

    Summary

    If only he had Mutt... He knew that Henry taught the dog to hunt game and that would make Hans’s job a lot easier.
    Actually... it was not such a bad idea. He had to move around a bit anyway.
    Besides...
    Besides, he could already imagine Henry's face when he shows up with Mutt by his side.

    or:
    Hans's side of the post-pillory weeks, but he finds Mutt before Henry does. It doesn't change much, but at least he has someone to complain to.

    Summary

    When the master of hounds sits down by the campfire the dogs come to lay their heads in his lap. He scratches them behind the ear. They close their eyes, leaning into his touch.

    They never do that with Hans.
