Love this. So heartbreakingly beautiful. Your writing was so sad and tragic.

Ok I don't know why I thought this was gonna be angst with a happy ending and the only reason I can think of is because I read it at 2am and wasn't paying full attention but my god. This is so so beautifully tragic and you wove in the completion of Nosteadamus's prophecy from S1 so well. I loved that you included Charles and Henry instead of just Bash, because even if they weren't on the show much they *are* still Francis' younger brothers. And Charles realisation that he's to be the next king was heartbreaking, especially when Francis tells him not to ignore his heart was especially painful because he realised he wouldn't be around to teach his brother what he wants to. The part that made me actually cry though was when Francis asks Catherine to take care of Mary when he's gone it KILLED ME. The tone of this piece is perfect, you captured the characters voices perfectly and the way that Francis went from ignoring his headaches as minor inconveniences to becoming resigned to his death came through perfectly in your narration, even if it totally ripped my heart out.

I'll probably wait a few days before reading this again bc my poor heart can't take it, but as an angst writer myself, I salute you. X

I cried.(((( it is beautiful. but I cant see him dying. I have stopped watching already because I cant deal with the monde nonsense. But francis death, I just cant((((.

Wonderful and emotionally written one shot!

i don't think I've felt more sad in my life:'( and i know this prob happened in reality but still...
But your writing! Amazing!
Loved it/hated it (only cuz it was so saaaaaaaad:(()

Dear lord lady! You know how to get me emotional. This was heartbreaking and wonderful and painfully realistic. Beautifully written. I can't get enough of your writing!

I swear this ship will be the death of me! Im hoping that reading all these fics about Francis dying is going to prepare me fot the final blow but I dont think it is. I loved this though, it was so devastatingly beautiful, Francis' last words to his brothers, to Bash and Mary and Catherine, just utter perfection. It was gut wrenching how he was making everyone promise to look after Mary. I adore your fics and I hope you write lots more xxxx

No need to apologize! It's heartbreakingly beautiful.
