Summary
‘A horse must be broken before it can be ridden. But you ought to choose your mount carefully. Consider its purpose. A draft horse will be of little use to a racemaster, and a thoroughbred courser still less use to a farmer with a cart to pull. Teaching a carthorse to leap fences will destroy your homestead, and wasting a fine swift runner on a burdensome yoke will turn the beast vicious. You must choose the right horse for the job, and break it in, before you can set it to work. War is a messy, bloody business, and it takes a certain kind of man to weather it and come out the other side stronger. You have a talent for horses, for understanding them and ensuring that they understand you. I have the same talent, but for men of war.’
Erik is recruited for the 7th Cavalry following the Battle of Little Bighorn by Lieutenant Ištván Tóth. Twenty years later, they reunite when Erik is a deserter from the Mexican frontier and offers his services as a horse wrangler on the retired Ištván's ranch.

Summary
Erik repeats the information again, blushing; he’s more than aware that, at seventeen, he’s young enough to be the nurse’s son. Still, he’s had daddy issues longer than he’s had an actual father, always gravitating towards older men with an air of authority and a cruel streak that speaks to his need to feel loved by being corrected. In all honesty, it’s probably intensive and extensive therapy he needs more than an older boyfriend who isn’t afraid to take him over his knee when Erik pushes his buttons, but with only a tenner in coins, five or six expired bus tickets, and a student ID card in his wallet, therapy is just ever so slightly beyond him at the moment. So father figure/daddy it is.

Summary
Piety /ˈpaɪ.ə.ti/
Noun
the quality of being religious or reverent: "acts of piety and charity"Pavel is an acolyte at a church in Bohemia, and is interrupted during the Rite of Being to serve as the confessor to a young man whose list of sins seems only to grow the longer he spends in Pious' presence.
(Alternatively, whilst looking for recruits for the band of mercenaries in Vranik and Pribyslavitz, Erik happens upon a hot priest, Fleabag style. And, well, his daddy issues apparently can't resist a Father either, even one who's not been ordained yet.)

Isterik Week 2025 Day 4 prompt:
scars/ gift(Nebakov)‘Ištván,’ Erik greets him, smiling, as if they’re old friends.
‘Erik,’ he says simply. ‘It’s good to see you. What’s going on?’
‘Ah,’ Erik grins, gesturing behind him at a couple in the garland wreaths of newlyweds. ‘It’s my daughter’s wedding day.’ -

Summary
Isterik Week 2025 Day 2 prompt: lessons /
shadows (Vranik)‘No, my boy, not at all. A stupid boy would not put in half the effort you do into trying. Any fool can see you’re fighting your hardest.’ He stroked the boy’s hair with one palm, as Erik’s tears soaked into his shirtfront, hands fisted in the material as he buried his face in Ištván’s shoulder. ‘I am proud of you, dear boy. Few would persevere in the face of such difficulty.’ He smiled wryly. ‘Mind you, I knew how stubborn you were from the moment I attempted to send you away, so perhaps I shouldn’t be so surprised.’
Ištván takes in a small boy after the siege of a village in Moravia. Upon taking the boy as his page, he realises whilst teaching the boy to read that Erik is dyslexic. A character study in Ištván as a father figure before and then during Erik's development of romantic feelings for him.

Summary
Henry realises during the course of events of KC:D II that he is gay. He also realises he is desperately, hopelessly, painfully in love with Hans Capon. Much Catholic guilt ensues as he attempts to deal with these feelings by exorcising them in the company of literally any other man who'll have him.
Slow-burn (ish) eventual Hansry, featuring Black Bartosch/Henry, Adder/Henry, and [potential further pairings to be explored and added to].

Summary
“D’you ever have any regrets?”
“Oh,” Ištván says, flippantly. “Many.”Erik wants to redo all of the experiences his boyfriend has had with Radzig, in the pursuit of domestic bliss.
Aided by the very poor advice from a 1960s dating pamphlet.

Or will things finally snap between him and Baelor after months of distance?

As a jack of all trades, Erik’s also his boyfriend’s caddy. He takes his professionalism seriously, but it’s hard to stay professional when his player is wearing obscenely tight shorts. And when he seems completely set on teasing him until he explodes.

Summary
The beautiful outfit that distracted him so much was mostly white and fit like it’d been specially tailored for him. Perhaps it had; it wasn’t like Ištván was short of coin these days. How had he taken and given the measurements? Across his chest, my ten fingers spread out wide. His waist? Five kisses from my greedy mouth. The tailor’s quill, in Erik’s mind, wobbled uncertainly. My son and I are very close. Yes, ever since his mother —
Ištván takes Erik, posing as his son, to a party in order to impress some wealthy potential client. Both of them enjoy the idea of it a little too much.
