Summary
What she notices first is the glittering, golden crown resting on his dark curls, and Anne could cry at how beautiful the thing looks. They always say beautiful things are what inspire the most bloodshed, she thinks distantly. Her eyes dart to his hand — the large, ruby coronation ring twinkling on his finger, the fineness of his hose, his midnight blue doublet, before they finally, finally, rest upon his face.
He looks finely cut, regal and removed, and despite the coolness in his eyes she can’t help but think the crown suits him far better than it did the ever-lustful Edward, or ever would the ever greedy George. Said crown hangs low on his dark, lovely, head, and Anne’s heart throbs at the reminder that they are no longer the children they once were, that she has no idea who the person sitting in front of her is.

Summary
She thinks of the last time she saw Richard, only a fortnight ago it was. There had been few words between them. He had merely held her and she him, and somehow, somehow, that had been enough. Anne had never felt more loved in her life. It had quelled the ghost of Edouard, somewhat, and that night had been the only the terrors ceased to plague her.
It is the last time she will see Richard before the battle, she knows this. She refuses to think it is the last time she will ever see Richard at all.
Or: Where Anne and Richard face ghosts they thought gone for good. (Sequel to "Tell Me I'm Your National Anthem)
