Notes:

The idea of the series came to me when I was writing "To Tame and To Love". In that fic, there was a scene where Richard told Anne the story of Richard of Gloucester and Lady Anne using Grimm's Fairy Tale version. Initially, I planned to write series of one-shots. However, when I started to write "Senior Prom Night", the story grew longer and longer.

Most of the stories here are and will be modern AU. Although I am an avid reader of historical fictions, I am not very good at writing historical fiction myself. I believe "While You Were Sleeping" would be the only historical Richard x Anne in this series.

The goal of these fics is to give Richard and Anne a happy ending. Truly, their tragic ending is like a Greek tragedy. Perhaps the saddest thing is that Richard, Anne, and their son Edward are all buried far away from one another. They deserve much better.
