Aww, this was great! Quietly intense, just like I saw the relationship in the series (and I suspect it got fairly close to the RL relationship).

Thank you. <3

Oh, good, I'm glad you liked it! :-)

[akashasheiress]

I did! I'm just terrible at expressing stuff like that. :)

I haven't seen the BBC drama, but after reading this I feel like I know who they are all the same! I love how you portray their relationship, the similarities and differences in the way they approach it.

Aw, thank you! ♥

I really liked this. It's sweet and a little bit sad. I find Henry VII and Elizabeth to be an intriguing couple, especially considering the children they had. In this, Elizabeth is braver than Henry - even at the end, he holds back.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! And, yes, they do intrigue me, too, as you can tell - and I like the way they're played in this serial (also fairly obviously), although that, inevitably, is a slightly different thing.
