*boggles* What a perfect, powerful story, and how brilliantly it's nestled into canon! Their gradual approach toward each other, culminating in this:
She reaches a hand to him in the night, and he takes it gently in his own.
made me believe in Ambrose/Queen like I have never done before, as did this:
At the first grey blur of dawn he tells her to sleep. She does so, ever trusting of his counsel.
and omg.... this innocent phrase:
"Whatever shall I do with all those pens?"

A broken prince with a zipper for a crown
was a gorgeous description, and this literally gave me chills:
She walks to the river as a queen, not a fugitive
because she's so genuinely royal here, and again, it's such an ingenius prelude to the canon scene.
*mems promptly* Gah! This was beautiful.

I get quotings? *blush, flail* Thank you! All this and a rec, I'm awash with glee.

I'm honestly surprised that this ended up being the first thing I really wrote, and I have no idea how I got inspiration from this bit in the parody. But there you go. I'm so glad you liked it, it means a lot ♥

I sat here for a few minutes, thinking, but I can't think up anything good to say once again. It's beautiful, I will love you eternally for writing it, and you have done this pairing more justice than I ever will. For lack of a better phrase, you rock hardcore.

Awww! *snugs* Thank you! I'm so glad it actually worked, I was having such a crisis between what I wanted to do and where canon needed to go but it all came together.

And I still want to see you bring it justice! Fandom needs MOAR!

Thank you! *grins*

Very, very beautiful. You captured their situation wonderfully with all it's desperation and love. Wow :D

[kseda]

Desperation and love, exactly *beams* I wanted to make them believable as people who were losing everything and just *flail* Glad you liked it!
