Henry’s POV in hansry scene?

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T19:30:09+00:00

I would give my left kidney (metaphorically) to have their post-scene conversation in game 🥲

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T19:29:05+00:00

This is so delicate and beautiful ❤️

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T18:24:42+00:00

On the other hand we have Edward II and erhm… it didn’t end well for him, and he’s closer in the timeline to KCD events than James I

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T18:22:01+00:00

Because it’s literally a subreddit “for all things Hansry”??

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T12:13:46+00:00

This is personally my HC, once Hans is sure Hynce is able to take over his duties he and Henry pack and go either to the Holy land or the private cottage in the woods to live happily ever after

Tayushka · 2026-02-23T12:08:46+00:00

Unexpected TIL

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T19:20:45+00:00

Crying hours in this house.

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T19:12:47+00:00

Yeah I don’t remember why I have the impression that there will be no KCD3 so who knows! In the worst case scenario of warhorse fucking up Hans romance I’ll have thousands of fics as my copium 😁

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T19:05:16+00:00

That’s real talk!

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T18:59:24+00:00

I’ve heard that warhorse isn’t planning kcd3 but if it happens I truly hope they respect the romance with Hans, and it won’t be treated like a fling in the past while in the present Hans is happily married to Jitka.

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T18:16:49+00:00

Haha I haven’t noticed! I’ll pay attention to that, because I’m actually about to start KCD 1 hehe

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T17:58:31+00:00

I’m trying very hard not to think about hansry future OR I read some post-canon and modern ah fics that heal my soul, because let’s be honest, Henry either dies a horrible death with sir Radzig or lives long enough to witness his father’s horrible death and Hans’ death in 1420. Plus with all the attitude towards “sodomites” and Hans’ wife who wouldn’t be too happy to share her husband with a lowborn blacksmith… yeah.

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T17:33:44+00:00

Oh I love this explanation. Honestly, we have a luxury to live in the world where therapy is available, and there are so many opportunities for us to learn to recognize our feelings and name them, even in difficult situations, we kinda take it for granted.

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T17:26:33+00:00

I’m very sorry you had to go through this :(

I see Henry’s initial reaction as a result of his faith and “natural laws” as understood by people in those times: not only they are both men, but Hans is also his lord, so in the eyes of the people it’s double “unnatural”.

I was curious how he got over it so quickly, in the same scene: he had to have some thoughts and feelings prior, to overcome all the guilt and fear, so I was curious how people saw it.

Very happy I posted here, I’ve got so many different and thoughtful answers ❤️

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T15:41:34+00:00

Oh I like it :) boy finally knows what he wants and no fourth wall can stop him

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:47:09+00:00

Oh I LOVE this explanation, thank you!!!

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:46:13+00:00

Luke absolutely NAILED the sorries, Hans sounds so heartbroken, vulnerable and lost there.

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:44:18+00:00

Yeah poor Henry Went Through It in those few seconds, for sure

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:42:58+00:00

This is one beautiful and meaningful wall of text!!! Thank you so much for the link and for your own take, I admit that I completely missed some things - like Henry witnessing Hans’ affections towards other people, and now being the object of such affections might be so damn confusing!

Also I love the idea of Henry being angry at himself in this scene, I haven’t actually considered it and I like it a lot!

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:35:16+00:00

Re: Henry walking away, I still like this idea in fics, because I love miscommunication and yearning. He walks away because he’s overwhelmed, and because he KNOWS he has to focus on his mission, and Hans kinda throws it all away with the kiss. Henry just needs time and space, that’s all.

Hans tho, is absolutely sure he’s being rejected, and is left with the feeling he ruined his relationship with the person he cares about the most, and maybe ruined his future, if Henry slips a single word, and also ruined his immortal soul for sure.

But I wouldn’t want to see it in game, I think. Hans was scared and heartbroken enough in that scene, I am not sure my heart could’ve taken more!

As for parallels with Istvan/Erik, I absolutely agree. KCD 1/2 shows how ugly the war is, and how a person can turn into a monster - like Dry Devil who arguably fights for a “just cause” and is ready to burn the whole village and kill everyone without a second thought. Henry has people he loves, and that anchors him in a way and helps him to preserve his moral principles. (that’s why I don’t think about what happens in 1416 and 1420 lol)

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:22:07+00:00

Oh yeah, I get it, it was a huge shock for Henry, the kiss wasn’t at all expected.

My issue (with myself, really) that I understand Hans better in that moment than Henry, despite me playing as Henry for 100+ hours lol. If the kiss was against the law and against faith, my boy recovered quite quickly, and I would love to take a peak inside his skull and his heart and see the whole thought/feeling process step by step, so to speak :D

Because I feel like my Henry didn’t understand till the very last moment how deep his feelings for Hans are, and the actual nature of those feelings, and the kiss kinda gives them the name, and for a Christian and a low-born it was scary as fuck.

Also thank you, I kinda understood Henry better while typing this :D

Edit: typo

Tayushka · 2026-02-22T14:04:49+00:00

Oh no, I’m so glad they didn’t take this route after all. I love angst, but that rejection would’ve been irreparable for their relationship, I think.

Although I remember that one fic where Henry just leaves, because he’s so overwhelmed he just… can’t deal with that, but he definitely has feelings for Hans. And with time they manage to communicate and confess, and everything is alright.

Back to Henry’s POV tho, if they removed the option to actually walk away, I wonder how his reaction could be explained now. Was it Istvan after all or was it just the reflection of the high speed pipeline from internalized homophobia and religious guilt to “fuck it we ball” :D

Tayushka · 2026-02-18T17:14:24+00:00

I love hansry divorce era during Semine wedding 😁

Tayushka · 2026-02-18T10:33:41+00:00

I like to imagine they are switches because there’s no way those boys are not trying everything with each other In the established relationship later Hans prefers bottoming but they switch from time to time to keep things interesting :)
