Summary
She was young, he’d been right, and so small. She couldn’t have been much above five feet tall, and it certainly had been an odd sensation looking down at his new monarch. But there was a strength in her voice – a strength with a tremor, for sure, and a lot of fake confidence that anyone with any observational skills would see right through – but a strength that had surprised him, given her history. She hadn’t been completely cowed by Conroy, he thought a little triumphantly. There was a fire in her eyes, an eagerness to succeed, but a wariness. She couldn’t hide her fear, no matter how imperiously she looked at him, how high she held her chin.
Or, the one where Lord Melbourne becomes Private Secretary to a twenty-two-year-old Queen Victoria sometime in 2017.

Summary
For the Vicbourne FB group’s Halloween Dark Vicbourne event in 2018 I made this long one-shot fic combining it with my very first online fandom and the one I wrote my very first fic for “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. :D This reimagines Victoria’s life if not only was she destined to be a queen, she was a slayer too and her Prime Minister also happened to be her Watcher. I loved writing this short story, included some “Buffy” shotouts as well as one with “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” as the Duke of Wellington was a character in it too and it fits.
