I love belated birthday presents. And you! Mwah! Big kisses.
You couldn't have given me a better fic if you'd tried: between Henry and Tony, Sinatra, Frank and Gene, Batman and Robin, the Tudors and Stuarts and the metro-sexual line... much love, much love.
If I had to pick a favourite bit, this would be it:
It’s a shame that Henry hates television so much (“outrageous substitute for culture”) because he’d make one hell of a hit with the children, thinks Tony. Right up there with Bob the Builder and Dora the Explorer: Henry the Anal Vampire. On today’s show, we learn the proper etiquette for seventeenth century table settings. Salad bowls to the left, children. [Insert patronizingly fanged smile here.]
Oh, okay. And this one.
“The Stuarts,” says Henry pointedly (“You uneducated, insensitive scum”), “Are not my family.”
And you're right about them not being this gay. But barely. And it's just fun, innit?
In conclusion: my books have come!!! (Who needs a prince when you have Indigo.ca?)
