    Summary

    Leia can think of a lot of things a budding heroine ought to know. Like if you feel a strange, inexplicable connection with a man you just met, don't kiss him. He might be your brother.

    A funny drabble that looks at what consequences the princesses’ freedom brings for more mundane folk.

    This is an achingly lyrical drabble about what it means to the youngest princess to lose something she’s always known.

    I love fairytales and I love Tudor history, so reading this mashup between the two was a joy. Picking Katherine Parr as the POV character was inspired – she usually doesn’t get as much attention as her more famous predecessors, but she was a really interesting figure and she shines in this fic. I also love little Elizabeth’s role. And it’s neat to read about all of Henry’s wives getting to know each other over the years.

    Okay, I love Sam Cassidy, fair warning. (I also love Malcolm Tucker, a whole fuckin’ lot, but for now we’ll confine ourselves to Sam.) This fic is unabashedly Sam-centric, and I love how excellent a partner she makes for Malcolm. She may gently push and pull a few levers, just little nudges with an innocent face, instead of swearing and threatening and browbeating people into compliance, but she’s excellent at what she does and it’s really satisfying to see Malcolm properly value her work. (Which is totally in-character for him.)
