Summary
There had been such a long pause after he’d asked her if she was relieved to be marrying Gregory. It had panicked him, that pause, scattered his thoughts like a flock of startled gulls. Bess dipped her chin, denying him her eyes, and he’d filled her silence with praise of his son, fumbling through Gregory’s merits as wretchedly as he’d proffered his own to Wolsey’s daughter. Thomas Cromwell marries Bess Seymour. (Set directly after the misunderstanding in the garden.)

Summary
A sensation. When he tries to describe it later, he won't have the words. Something like a shudder, a shimmer, in the air. A missed step, on a staircase…
His final visit to the prisoner, before trial and execution (no matter that Sir Thomas is not yet condemned, the court will come to no other conclusion). Thomas Cromwell turns to leave, steps through the gate of the cell and the world changes around him.
Now More is the only familiar thing in a London that is nothing like the one he knows. He, Cromwell, is resolved to find some way back, but the longer they are stuck in this strange future, the weaker his resolve becomes. More’s not bad company, it turns out. And iced coffee is pretty good.
(Or; Cromwell and More time travel to modern London. And get stuck. And fall in love.)

Especially intrigued is Master Cromwell's nephew, Richard. Thomas Cromwell is renowned for his memory, but can he help her recover hers?

Summary
After the executioner's sword descends upon her neck, Anne Boleyn does not awaken in Heaven, much less in Purgatory. She awakens in Hever Castle, eight years before her last morning on earth.
She has no desire to tread the same path again. This time, she is seemingly content to allow Henry to have her, then marry her off. However, when things get out of control, Henry decides on a petty revenge against his recalcitrant lady, and arranges for her to marry an obscure lawyer in Cardinal Wolsey's employ... also known as Thomas Cromwell, the man who, in another life, had helped to kill her.
(Note: although this story has a romantic subplot, it is not primarily a romance).
