I LOVE THIS FIC, I STAN THIS FIC (and this ship, forever this ship, forever Margaret especially, but forever Margaret/Suffolk), I use this fic to justify my predilection for history-based theatrical!AU, and thing is, once I've directed people to this fic, they understand why. So many of my favorite things in one place, here.

Notes
A spare, thoughtful piece about John Talbot (as far as I'm aware, the only Talbot-fic on the entire Internet!), also featuring the most adorable Henry VI ever.

Rec 3
Summary

Notes
This fic has a fantastic narrative voice, told from the point of view of an original character, and illustrates the disturbing scenario of Richard of Gloucester joining the rebels led by Jack Cade in 2 Henry VI. Cade's charisma and Richard's sociopathic tendencies are chillingly rendered in a voice that also manages to be incredibly funny.
