    Summary

    My inspiration was the following question: What would happen if Henry and Catherine had had a living son in 1525 ?

    As we all know, that did not happen. As we also all know, most of the real life characters of this story end up unhappy and/or dead. I wanted to write a kind of "fix-it" where everyone gets a much nicer life. And yes, for that the characters need to act vastly different then the real-life people have. This will be, at least sometimes, historically inaccurate. But thats the beauty of fanfiction, isnt it ?

    We will have drama, tenderness, tears, a very cute Mary as a child and many many hugs between Henry and Charles, one of the most famous friendships of the english court. Because, quite frankly, they need it. There will be a few sences which are not suitable for everyone or might disturb someone, but, if its necessary, I will put additional warnings before every chapter. The story is already finished, so you will definitly get to see the end. I will update as regular as possible.

    I hope you will have as much fun reading this as I had writing it. Enjoy :)

    Summary

    It's easy to pretend that Henry's thirst for French land only stemmed from the Hundred Year War. And yeah, maybe at the beginning it was. But when jealousy melts into attraction, he cannot deny how much he wants to be close to the fresh and new King Francis the First. The only man who seems to know how desperate he is to make a splash.

    Its easy to pretend his love is just envy in disguise.

    At least Francis seems to know what he means.

    Summary

    Wolsey smiles, genial, and in a tone of expectant understanding, a tone that says this is what you want, isn’t it?, he says: Thomas, come. Let me bless you.

    He does not believe in priests and magic. He rejects the doctrine of purgatory, and of the Pope, rejects the truth hidden in obscure Latin, the meanings cloaked in byzantine rituals.

    He kneels anyway.

    Summary

    Fate doesn’t suffer the whims of Kings or men. Once Destiny touches you, one cannot escape its grasp, regardless of the obstacles along the way. Faith will guide one through the darkness…

    December 1929.

    A year and a half ago, Lady Anne Boleyn was ripped from the comfortable and drama-free life she lived as lady-in-waiting to Queen Margaret of France by the will of the woman’s widowed brother, King Henry VIII of England, and thrust in the upper echelons of the perilous English court against her wishes.

    Secrets, lies and deception have since shaped her life into an unrecognizable tapestry, keeping her and the man her heart truly belongs to apart.

    Hope is, however, known to be very resilient, and so when the past and present collide once more, will the star-crossed lovers get a second chance? Or will their love ultimately destroy them?

    Summary

    Mary Boleyn was the older of the two Boleyn girls, daughters of the up-and-coming Thomas Boleyn. He was able to obtain a position for her in the court of Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII, when she was to be sent to France to be married to the ill and elderly Louis XII of France.

    Mary Boleyn found herself caught up in the glitter and glamour of the French court. Alone and unprotected, she fell prey to the charms of the handsome but corrupt Francis Valois, Louis's heir. She became his mistress, unaware of the consequences.

    Francis used her and broke her heart, in the meantime, gossip made its way across the channel and word of his daughter's conduct reached the ears of Sir Thomas. He hurried back to France to fetch his errant daughter and wondered how to deal with her disgrace.

    He arranged a marriage for her with William Carey, a second son but a favorite of King Henry. His good looks appealed to Mary and she decided to make the best of it. She and Carey were married in the King's Chapel and Henry himself made an appearance at their wedding.

    The unwilling Mary drew Henry's attention and her family sees her as a means to advance themselves and pushed her into becoming Henry's mistress.
