Hello! I just wanted to say, thank you for writing this! There's not many EnglandxJeanne fics out there, let alone good ones!
Also, and from what I know of, the fleur-de-lis is the iris, not the lily.

;u; That was so beautiful.

Wonderful little story you have. Enjoyed it quite a bit, although I was all disappointed and sorry for France when England mentioned Joan and he'd had a son. What a slap in the face, poor frog~!

Loved it, darling! Continue writing; you seem to have a bit of a knack for it.

Okay, I really wish I had something smart and awesome to say and explain how much I love this, but alas, I have nothing. Just, accept that I do. 8D

Great story.

okay. that was freaking cute.

is Matthiew gonna grow up to be Canada?

I see that I'm not the only one who's thought of the possibility of these two as a couple. According to blunt history, it's easy for many people to automatically point an accusing finger at England; however, there's always two sides to a story.

It's a bit ironic, actually. As Dontmezwitme had said, a British lawyer labeled the trial as unjust and many English peasants greatly admired her after the war. However, the French didn't even try to defend Jeanne D'Arc at her trial and really didn't appreciate her until much later in history.

"Just happened to be born on the wrong end of the English Channel", huh? I really like that line. It sums up the concept of star-crossed lovers for this pairing. Naming their child "Matthew" was a great idea as well, considering how reverent Jeanne D'Arc was. The lily at the end was especially a nice touch: It leaves a lingering thought.

All in all, thanks for sharing!

I'm just going t put this out there: I am a Catholic who recently had to write a report on Jeanne d'Arc. I'm preparing to dress up as her and talk about her to little kids. Reading this tainted the pretty image in my head.

Catholic upbringing aside, this was well-written and enjoyable for me to read.

ACTUALLY. *cue history*

During her stay at the prison, a British lawyer up and left the city she was held in, saying that the trial was supremely unfair and prejudiced.

Also, the official reason she was burned at stake was because she wore men's clothes.

Oh, and also, a lot of English people (common, not noble) after the war really did like Jeanne.

TAHDAH.

Yeah.

Uhm.

Good story? Sorry for rambling.
