geeking out on shakespeare's histories

Thank you! This piece was so...unlike me, in some ways, because I've never written this type of AU before in my life - and yet so very fun to write. I was a little nervous about whether it had worked, so the lovely comments meant a great deal to me - I really do appreciate it.

Teasing out the alternative flavours of angst that that one little change could make was for me the most interesting part of the process, so I am super-pleased that last section worked for you. :D
