This is wonderful. It deserves a much fuller comment than I can leave, because I love every bit of the world your beautiful prose has built up. I love the way your Richard sees the world, and the new relationships all the characters are forging together, and the beautiful lines like: Kate and Harry Percy, misplaced and self-bastardised children in a glittering court of love, throwbacks to a wild chivalry that Richard suspects never existed, are now become Richard's fierce and midnight captains in his court of death and fire; and are of his own begetting.
They are his own to claim the fathering of, more than if he had been their seeding.
He calls them his with pride, and he gives them the unthinking love he had once thought he would bestow upon his heirs.
Thank you so much for writing something like this - I can safely say that it is the very best Ricardian zombie plague fic I have read.
