Awesome! Just binge this story and wanting to keep reading. Love every bit (minus Jane seywhore of course) - ( normally not sure on that nickname some have for her but here, yup!) Am loving and enjoying the friendship between Anne & Brandon, think it like this is the first I've come across in an AU. Most have their friendship happening or really forming in stories where she was saved from execution. Also really enjoy seeing jealous Henry, LOL! Hope you update again soon

I don’t know if you’ve been getting pm notifications, but I could still use your help with my Tudors fanfic.

I hate Jane sorry not sorry

You always seem to exceed my expectations, this was amazing. Anne and Henry's relationship is so believable and kinda resembles the real Anne and Henry's relationship in that its sunshine followed by storms then sunshine. And Arthur and Katherine, too. Not much is known about them in their marriage and Katherine before marrying Henry, si this was excellent. Showing Katherine, not negatively, but used to the finer things from Spain and Arthur as jealous of his brothers freedom was . Thank you for posting as always this was amazing and a delight to read.

I'm fine thank you :) I'm so, so, so glad you're fine as well! I was getting rather worried about you to be honest.

First of all - thank you for making your chapters so easy to read. Honestly, it's kinda like reading modern poetry. My busy yet lazy self is forever thankful to you for your writing :P

Second - OOH FAMILY DRAMA. I'm always here for some family tension and you portray it just perfectly :) Also, as I said before (I think?) I love your characterization of everyone! Keep up the good job, well done!

And I know the pains of writing dialogue... It honestly made me appreciate screenwriters an awful lot more now that I know how damn hard it is to write a good dialogue that doesn't come across as cheesy or poorly written.

I'm sorry that the review can't be longer or more detailed - I need to finish an assignment I haven't even started yet.

Take care and stay strong!

Wow! This story is excellent. I binged it yesterday and just want to add my two cents to encourage you to stick with it. It’s really unique and well-written, and I have just loved it!

I hope you are well with everything going on these days, and should you find the time and desire to write still, you should know that this story is 100% worth it.

Loved this! In addition to Anne banter, you write the jocular guy banter of Henry and his friends really well too. It feels spot on.

I also really enjoyed King Henry’s reaction to Henry’s bastard and also his chess-like thoughts on the potential Henry/Anne bloodline. Dear Harry: your father didn’t choose Anne by accident. Lol. You’ve really developed the different characters here nicely and, IMO, realistically, which is rare in fanfic.

Amazing chapter, and very interesting little wrench you threw in with Arthur there! I could actually see him wanting that, and Henry having the exact reaction he had here (which I def giggled at—it was perfect). I could see the tension between the Tudor princes ramping up for sure.

Lol at the English even thinking about marrying into Cathay at this point. Even Russia was too far for them to seriously consider. Wouldn’t be helpful in any way.

Otherwise, super loved this chapter. Again, the banter was excellently done.

Lol at Jane thinking she and Henry are going to play happy families. As you noted, Henry VII was so paranoid about rival claimants that he was going to send future Henry VIII into the church before Arthur died. The thought of a bastard would probably have given him a heart attack. He was also pretty straight laced, so I can’t imagine him being very happy with Prince Henry’s behavior here at all, even without the bastard issue.

Jane is also about to see that while a king’s bastard can sometimes net you a husband, a duke’s bastard doesn’t really get you much. Especially when the king is real pissed about it lol.

This chapter was awesome—you write banter exceedingly well!

I was really glad you fixed the Your Grace issue—everyone was improperly calling Anne that in the prior two chapters, so glad she called people on it. Likewise, strumpet Jane is only entitled to be called Mistress Seymour, not Lady Jane, as the daughter of a knight. (So she can go suck it...even more than she already is! Lol)

Really enjoyed this chapter!

Great chapter! I thought you did an awesome job capturing Henry and Charles’ personalities, as well as setting up our milksop antagonist of sorts miss Jane Seymour.

It’s funny, I had assumed during chapter 1 (I know, despite the mention of Thomas Boleyn—I did notice it but was confused lol) that Anne here was basically Thomas Howard’s daughter, and thus Elizabeth Howard Boleyn’s sister. Whoops! So basically here you’ve made Thomas Boleyn somehow get the title Duke of Norfolk. I do wonder how that happened! Also you made a reference here to Anne being a Howard on her mother’s side, but the Howards are the Norfolks, which is the Boleyns now, so I’m a little confused. Maybe if you ever edit this an explanatory paragraph before chapter 1 would be helpful?

Very interesting concept! Just one hint—Rachel would have been an exclusively Jewish name at this point in time.

I really enjoyed the story so far, but I am a bit confused about Henry and Anz ages, as in history, as well as the show, Arthur and Catherine are only about 15 and 16 in this point. Henry would it be at least four or five years younger. Can you just clarify all of the ages for me please? Other than that, and excellent story, and I can’t wait to read more!

OK hi, here, I finally managed to read it! (I hate being damn busy)

First off - I love, love, love how you're using actual dialogue from the Tudors in there! Your dialogue writing has improved greatly in these last few chapters and you also incorporate more historical facts, which is a bonus!

Second - I love how you can tell that each person in this story has a different personality. It's a very hard thing to do (believe me, I know :P) and you managed to do it just nicely! I love getting different vibes from each of them and going, "oh yes, that's Henry" or "oh, yes, typical Anne" but at the same time, you also make room for surprises :P I also like how you don't stick to making Jane the "baddie" in the story but instead you present her as a girl who's gotten herself into an impossible situation and there is next-to-nothing she can do to get out of it. Dunno if that was your aim, but if it was, good job!

That "Why, hello Ass!" line made me giggle :P I wish we could have gotten this in the Tudors, it's funny :P

One word, flawless. Not a surprise but always fun to see. Brilliant chapter, once again I love your characterization of Henry VII and Arthur. Just one question, do you intend to follow the original timeline of events ie Arthur dying early 1502?
