    Summary

    Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.

    “I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-

    The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.

    “-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”

    Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.

    ~~~

    Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.

    What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.

    Or lonely.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The world building of this story is extensive and interesting. It handles platonic intimacy and emotional vulnerability extremely well.

    Summary

    A tale of love, vengeance, and fate—woven across decades.

    Bound by promises both kept and broken, they are torn apart by duty yet drawn together by something neither can name. What does fate have in store for them?

    This is my take on what happens after the ending of the second game—dedicated to those who, like me, left a piece of their heart in its world.

    All graphic smut scenes are posted separately.

    A fic that gets better and better until it shoots an arrow of angst straight into your heart (in a good way).

    Summary

    For Hans, love bloomed within him like the quiet unfurling of a flower. Tenderly, gently, adoringly.

    Nothing could ever have prepared him for the moment Henry's time came before his own.

    (A slow burn romance where they both struggle with their feelings, come to accept them, and if Henry passes before Hans instead. Briefly set during KCD2 for just a short bit, but mostly takes place post-KCD2.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Heartbreaking story exploring the themes of love, death and grief.

    Every chapter follows a long period of time, which makes the story feel big while still being compact. The points in time are chosen and expanded upon well, and real knowledge of history and writing shines through.

    "Angst with a Happy Ending" is subjective. In my opinion, it was not.

    Summary

    For twenty years, Henry of Skalitz was forgotten—buried in darkness, bound in rusted chains, waiting for rescue that never came.

    Hans Capon never stopped looking for Henry—never stopped chasing ghosts, never stopped losing hope, never stopped failing. And now, his son has done what he could not.

    Heinrich expected to find a prisoner. Instead, he found a ruin of a man—too frail to stand, too lost to recognize his own name. He takes Henry, carries him into the world he once knew.

    Henry has been found. But can men so thoroughly broken be saved?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    You can feel the weight of Henry's disappearance and the years between pressing down on Hans and everyone else Henry's life touched. It's heartbreaking in the best kind of way. Read up to chapter 7.
