“Like you were an extension of my rage. Like you were the blade in my hand. Sakra, Henry, you were my wrathful angel, delivering me from salvation and I would gladly walk into hell by your side.”

Unnecessary Evil Chapter Two

Summary: Once Henry realizes what’s going on, he won’t let Hans deny himself.

Hans paces the room assigned to him, as if motion might shake the memory loose.

“I’m doing this for him.” He hadn’t moved when he heard it. Couldn’t. The words sank into him—low, warm, deliberate—and left him standing there with his breath caught.

He hears a light knock on the door before Henry lets himself in.

Hans turns—and for a second, he sees him as he was in the chamber: blood on his hands, jaw set, eyes steady. The image flashes through him like heat, unwanted and familiar.

Not unwanted.

“You weren’t at the feast, my lord.” Henry doesn’t quite ask.

Hans turns to start a new lap. “I didn’t feel I’d be fit company for the nobles.”

Henry doesn’t respond, and Hans turns back around to see him waiting patiently for him to continue. He’s cleaned himself up since the interrogation. Hans feels like something’s missing, and turns away from Henry to resume pacing.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Henry asks, voice quiet behind him.

Hans sighs in frustration and half throws himself down to sit on the bed. He doesn’t look up as he gestures for Henry to sit down.

Henry sits a foot away. Hans bites his lip, thinking.

“Maybe Hanush was right. Maybe I’m not a good noble,” Hans says at last. “I’ve spent my entire life being told about the virtues of being a noble—honor, generosity, bravery—but never quite living up to it. Nobles shouldn’t be involved in torture.”

“Just for peasants like me?” Hans doesn’t need to look at Henry to know he’s frowning, feeling slighted.

“That’s not what I mean, Henry. Being in that room, torturing that man—God’s wounds, we never even knew his name. What kind of noble am I?”

He doesn’t look, but he can feel Henry’s presence—solid, still, the warmth of him a reminder that he hasn’t moved away.

“You’re the best nobleman I know. You’re brave and you’re funny when you’re not being an arse.” Hans laughs derisively at this, unable to keep up his mask.

There’s no bite in Henry’s voice when he goes on. “It’s not like you were holding the tongs. Or the hammer. Or the knife. You’re not the one who killed him.”

Hans tosses his head at this last part before retorting, “Like you said in that room—I’m your lord. It makes no difference who was holding the tool.”

He looks directly into Henry’s eyes, so close to his now. “You’re my squire. My bodyguard. My man. I’m responsible for you.”

It’s only because Hans is looking directly at him that he sees the flush that spreads across Henry’s cheeks. His eyes follow the color up, and that’s when he sees it—a faint smear of dried blood just below Henry’s ear, missed when he cleaned up. Hans tilts his head in puzzlement at the response.

“How do you feel about it?”

Henry ducks his head, avoiding eye contact. “Not as badly as you seem to be feeling about it.”

Hans growls and grabs Henry’s chin to force Henry to look at him.

“That’s the problem, I don’t feel bad. I know I should feel shamed about it, but the only thing I feel is satisfaction at you torturing him.”

Henry’s frozen in place where Hans holds him. Realization slowly dawns across his face.

“That’s not quite true. Satisfaction wasn’t the only thing we felt, was it?” Hans’ eyes widen at Henry’s direct challenge. He starts to stammer a response before swallowing it down and clearing his throat. Henry’s eyes flicker down to Hans’ lips for a second before meeting his lord’s gaze again.

“Were you thinking about it when I got here, my lord?” Henry’s voice is soft, barely adding emphasis on the last two words. “Did you wonder how far I would go for you? What I’d do for you?” Hans can only stare at Henry in wonderment.

“Out of duty?” Hans breathes out. Henry growls at this.

“You think I’d snap a man’s fingers out of duty? Cripple his legs?” Henry leans closer to Hans with each word. “No, not out of duty. I did it all for you.” His lips are nearly against Hans’ now, and Hans can feel every harsh breath against his face.

“Aye, I did think about what you’d do for me. And what you’d do to me. Just how far would you go for me?” He can hear his own voice now—quiet, unsteady. Hans desperately wants Henry to close that last inch, to make the first move.

“All the way, to my death if that’s what you wanted.” Hans realizes Henry won’t, can’t make the first move in this dance. They both know full well that Hans is the lord.

“Kiss me.”

Unnecessary Evil

Summary: A divergence of the quest Necessary Evil. What if Hans wasn’t a good noble and Henry’s fine with this?

Notes: I thought there should be more evil Hansry in the fandom so here’s my contribution.

Chapter One

Hans follows Henry into the torture chamber, closing the door behind him. The room is poorly lit, the flickering flames casting moving shadows across the walls. Hans glances at the captive, shackled to a hanging bar, before shifting his gaze to his page. Henry seems more at ease than Hans feels—his calm presence a quiet anchor for Hans’ nerves. He doesn’t speak, but something in his stillness calms Hans. Steady. Solid. Like he’s done this before.

The captive lifts his head, eyeing the new arrivals.

“New blood? Did the last two get tired?” he mocks. “I don’t give a fuck who you are. I still won’t tell you anything.”

“Lord von Bergow thinks otherwise,” Hans replies disdainfully. The captive shakes his head, unimpressed. “Aye? Then all three of you can go and hold hands on your way to hell.”

Hans frowns at the almost cheerful venom of the response and forces out an equally false laugh.

“We’ve got a joker here. Who are you?” He senses, more than sees, Henry shifting beside him.

The captive sounds almost bored. “Nobody important.”

Hans steps forward, moving into the captive’s space. “That’s for us to judge, if you wouldn’t mind.”

“And who are you? If you’re not guards.”

“We asked first. So answer nicely, or…” Henry lets the threat linger.

Hans exhales in relief as Henry finally speaks—this is better as a joint effort. He can’t help finishing the threat.

“Or we’ll use force.”

“Do as you like, yellow-bellies! You’ll end up just like von Bergow—on the gallows! Like all traitors!”

Hans watches Henry stiffen at the reminder of what he nearly lost. For a moment, he thinks Henry might walk away.

He doesn’t.

He hits.

The sound of the backhand cracks through the chamber. The captive jerks sideways, blood hitting the floor with a wet slap.

Henry’s hand doesn’t drop right away. His fingers curl slowly, like he’s still holding the shape of the strike. His chest rises with a slow, deliberate breath.

Hans draws a sharp breath. It’s not shock. Not horror. It’s something darker—colder—and it coils down his spine like pleasure.

The captive spits and curses, but Hans barely hears it. His eyes stay on Henry. He forces himself to focus. “This is going nowhere,” he says, hoping his voice sounds steadier than he feels. But part of him hopes the captive keeps provoking Henry.

Henry grabs the captive’s jaw, squeezing hard enough to bruise.

“We’re not fucking traitors. You murdered our men—cut them down while we were on a mission of peace.”

For the first time, the captive blinks uneasily. It fades quickly, his smugness returning, but Hans notices. He looks around the room, eyes catching on the barrel of tools. He glances back at Henry, speculative, then smiles grimly at the captive.

“You know, my friend here is a blacksmith’s son. And he knows exactly what to do with something like… these tongs.”

Henry picks up the tongs. His grip is firm. A muscle ticks in his jaw. He swallows—slow and deliberate.

Hans doesn’t have to look to know Henry’s moving. He can feel it—the air shifting, the moment stretching. Henry plays his part without needing instruction. That might be the best part.

The captive flinches and swings slightly in his chains, snarling in defiance.

“Like you yellow-bellied whoresons would do it. Run back to your lord and tell him you failed.”

Henry chuckles.

“Von Bergow isn’t my lord. He is.” He jerks his head toward Hans. “I’m doing this for him.”

Henry smiles—obedient, assured. No hesitation. Hans feels it settle in his chest like a weight.

“I don’t think he believes you’ll do it,” Hans says lightly.

Henry maneuvers the tongs around one of the captive’s fingers.

“Tell me who your leader is, and I won’t break the joint.”

Hans leans in slightly, pleased when the captive scoffs. Henry begins to squeeze, slowly. The captive screams. A sickening crack follows. Henry’s breath catches at the sound—sharp and sudden. His fingers shift on the tongs, adjusting as if savoring the resistance.

Hans bites his lip.

The captive pants heavily, trying to suppress his whimpers, and glares at Hans.

“Fuck you bastards. I’m glad your men died.”

“Try the next finger,” Hans suggests.

Henry moves without being told twice. Hans watches the ease of it, how natural it’s becoming. The captive hesitates.

“His name is Jan, alright? You bastards,” he gasps.

Henry steps back, swinging the tongs idly as he waits for Hans’ next question.

“And where is he? Where’s the rest of your pack of scum? You’d best tell the truth, or you’ll spend the rest of your miserable life begging on the streets to stay alive.”

The captive watches the tongs, no longer smug.

“You can put them down. He’s in Nebakov with the rest.”

Hans steps forward and claps the captive on the shoulder. “There’s a good boy. See how much easier it is when you tell the truth? You can put the tongs down, Henry.”

Henry places the tongs aside and moves to stand beside Hans.

“I want to know how you managed to take Nebakov.”

“Old Nebak’s a gullible fool. Didn’t have many men. We took it with one finger up our noses.”

“No need to be rude, my friend,” Hans replies cheerfully. “We’ve still got questions. Who are you lot, really—and what do you want?”

The captive glares at Hans in silence. Hans sighs and shakes his head in disappointment. Henry looks to him, questioning.

“Which tool this time, my lord?”

Hans closes his eyes briefly, biting his lip.

“The dagger. Let’s see if our friend here is more cooperative without his sight.”

Henry picks up the dagger, flipping it casually in his hand as he moves behind the captive. The man tries to keep him in view, straining in his chains. His nerve breaks when Henry grabs his hair and jerks his head back.

“We’re patriots. We give a shit about this land. We don’t want you whoresons fucking it up.”

“That why you ambushed us?” Hans snaps. “That your excuse for killing my men?”

Henry responds to Hans’ anger without a word. He draws the point just above the captive’s eye, trailing it lightly.

“Fuck you, fuck your men, and—”

The captive doesn’t finish. Henry slices the blade across his forehead in one clean motion. Blood spills immediately, a thick sheet blinding him. He thrashes in the chains, spitting curses as he tries to shake it from his eyes.

Hans doesn’t move. He watches the blood trail down the captive’s face, drip onto Henry’s hand. Watches Henry’s breathing change. His stance. His calm.

He’s never felt less like a noble. Not even with the noose tight around his neck. That day had been fear—this is something else.

He raises a hand to his throat, thumb brushing the skin where the rope had burned. It tingles. Henry sees him touch the spot and flinches like he’s been struck. His eyes flick to Hans’ throat—just for a second—then away. His fingers tighten around the dagger hilt. Then he drops it.

The motion is sharp. Almost reckless.

He grabs the hammer instead.

The clang echoes through the chamber as Henry slams it into the bar above the captive’s head. Both the captive and Hans jump. Henry rests the hammer on the captive’s shoulder, chest heaving.

Hans doesn’t breathe.

Henry stands with the hammer resting against the captive’s broken body, his chest rising with each panting breath. His face is streaked with blood, his hands painted with it. The torchlight dances across his armor, gilding the filth in gold.

He looks dangerous. Alive. More beautiful than Hans wants to admit.

Hans clears his throat, rough and low, as if that might steady him. It doesn’t.

“You’re the reason he was nearly hanged. If you and your pack hadn’t ambushed us, we’d have finished our mission. They wouldn’t have strung him up like a fucking peasant if you hadn’t stolen that letter and killed our men. You put the noose around his neck.”

Hans’ eyes widen. He hadn’t realized—not fully—how deeply it hurt Henry. He clenches his fists, aching to reach for him but resisting. He needs to see what Henry will do next.

The captive stammers, blood still obscuring his eyes. Henry’s patience snaps. He slams the hammer into the man’s left knee. The crack is sickening. The captive howls.

Henry leans into the captive’s space, his face close, voice ragged. He doesn’t seem to notice how near he is, how hard he’s breathing, or the flush creeping up his neck.

“It was Olda—Olda Semine! He did it! He helped us—”

He breaks down sobbing. The fight is gone.

Hans can’t look away from Henry: the fierce light in his eyes, the blood smeared across his face, his hands, his armor. In the flickering torchlight, Henry is devastating.

He doesn’t look at the captive. He couldn’t if he tried. There’s only Henry—bloodstained, panting, blazing in the torchlight. Beautiful in a way Hans can’t put words to.

“We can’t let von Bergow know about Olda. He’ll slaughter Semine.”

“Aye. But if he told us, he’ll tell von Bergow’s men too.”

Hans licks his lips.

“We have to do this… We need to make sure he won’t tell them anything more.”

The words sound right. Measured. Necessary.

He doesn’t think too hard about why it came out so easily.

Henry speaks quietly. “Is that my lord’s command? To kill him?”

They breathe out together, like something unspoken just settled between them.

“It is,” low and final, like a sentence passed.

[hankacadew]

So I expanded a little on a snippet I’ve posted before:

It was early morning and the sun was barely showing over the horizon. The only thing that could be heard amongst the trees was the call of a solo nightingale.

It had been Henry who had discovered the cottage while looking for poachers in the woods west of Rattay. He and Mutt had carefully investigated it for any sign of recent activity before bringing Hans there on a supposed hunting trip the previous day.

Hans had declared it perfect for future hunts and immediately started planning on the next opportunity to escape the attention of his wife. Naturally he had left it up to Henry to find an appropriate prey to christen the cottage that night.

Henry gasps, Hans moving his hand confidently over Henry. The candlelight flickers, dim enough that the blood running over the floor looks black. The body behind Henry still feels warm, its last breath taken shortly before.

Henry’s dagger is still in his hand, forgotten with his lord pressed in front of him. Hans nuzzles Henry’s neck, well pleased with his angel’s service - death had not come quickly. He reaches behind Henry to run his hand through the still wet blood, then places his thumb gently against Henry’s lips. Henry moans, opening his mouth to lap up the blood.

“You were beautiful, such a good wicked angel.” Hans’ is still basking in the warmth of his release, his tone languid. Henry nips at his thumb in response and grabs Hans’ hand so he can reach the rest of the blood.

Mutt barks outside, dragging Hans’ attention to the increasing light outside the cottage. He grimaces, knowing that his time here is near an end.

“I think it’s time for us to get cleaned up, my dear Henry.”

Henry whines in protest and nips Hans’ hand in retort. He knows that Hans can’t spend too much time away from Jitka, not if they want to keep up their regular excursions.

Mutt barks again, inadvertently helping Henry break out of his current headspace. He grins at his lord and starts clearing up.

“Aye, and I suppose it’ll be me that gets to do most of the work?”

“But of course, Henry. You’re only half-blue blooded.”

Hans easily dodges the glove Henry throws at his face.

“You know, you could be more subservient, like a proper servant.”

Henry steps into Hans’ space, standing so close that Hans can feel the movement of his chest ad he breathes.

“I think we just finished demonstrating just how well I can serve you, my lord.”

Hans can’t help but close his eyes and shiver. He knows he can’t open his eyes just yet, lest he yield to temptation.

“Stop distracting me, you yokel, and get cleaning up.”

Henry merely chuckles and sets back to work.
