Richard III/Anne Neville Fanfic: Forever My Queen

I am on a total Queen Anne Neville/King Richard III kick right now! I watched "The White Queen" TV series a few years ago, and then in the past couple months, I read about them in the novels "The Virgin Widow" by Anne O'Brien, "The Kingmaker's Daughter" by Philippa Gregory, and "The Sunne in Splendour" by Sharon Kay Penman. So now, of course that means I've written fanfiction about them and posted my first fic about them on AO3:

I also intend to write some more fanfics about them. If you have any fic ideas, feel free to send them my way! :)

A Touch of the Lips

They are married before they have their real kiss. One of the kisses that isn’t quite a peck on a cheek or just graze of the lips. A real, passionate, warmth-flooding-through-the-body kiss. Anne will admit that she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She’s never kissed; the Lancaster boy never kissed her. He did his “duty” and went on about his night. If he was kissing anyone, she would guess, it was his mother. She pushed that thought out of her mind when she felt Richard’s lips go to her neck. She sucked in a breath and moved her head to give him more access. They have backed up to the bed now, both of them already undressed, and fall on it with a small bounce back. Richard knows what he’s doing, but what surprised and increased her desire for him more was the gentleness of it. He was the initiator of the contact but he was paying attention to her reactions, what actions caused her to moan and move closer to his touch and the ones where her body stilled itself or garnered no response other than reaching for him. She is glad, in the depths of her heart, that this is their moment. There is no witness to prove the marriage consummated, no white linen is placed beneath to prove her virginity, which she technically no longer has, no listeners at the doors. This moment is all their own.

— They have been married for six months now, and Anne feels as though this is the happiest she’s ever been, at least since her childhood with her mother, sister, and father in the earlier years. She realizes that has developed a habit, though she doubts it is a bad one. It’s a good one, at least she feels so. Watching Richard sleep and resting on his chest, feeling it slowly rise then fall, rise then fall again, his long beautiful and dark eyelashes falling against his upper cheek. He looks almost angelic. She can hear Izzy teasing her that she can not think to like him. No, sister, I love him. Sunlight beams though the slats of the shutters and she feels stir. She won’t finish waking him though: he can afford to sleep in and waking him would only end this moment of stillness. They are not royal duke and duchess in this bed chamber. They are simply Anne and Richard, Richard and Anne. And she loves that. They don’t have to worry about court, uprisings that need to be quelled, fortunes, and she’s sure she could only add further to that list. She places her head against his chest and listens to his heartbeat as her head moves with the rising and falling of his chest.

She feels his arm rise and grabs onto her head, running through the light brown hair that is free from any braid and hanging loose. She kisses his chest and then his lips, his sweet, sweet lips. “I hope I didn’t wake you, husband.” She says quietly. He smiles at her and kisses her lips. “Are you needed anywhere today?” she asks.

“No. As far as I know at this moment, I am completely free today.”

“Good.” She sounds like an excited child. ”Then I shall keep you prisoner in our bed.” She pulls him in for a kiss before he can protest. “And do not dare mention Court; they are not missing us.” She says against his mouth. “If your brother, King Edward, is understanding of anything, it is a woman who keeps her man in a bed.”

Richard laughs as he wraps his arms against her small frame. He, as always, as a gentle knight, her knight, moves her in a flip so he is above her, and they are now haphazardly on her side of their large bed. “Then I guess I shall be a most agreeable prisoner to my captor.”

Her hands touch his face and she pulls him downward for a kiss. “You are in my keeping.”

— They are still wiping sweat from her forehead even after the baby is out. He is small but it is to be expected because of her, because she herself is small. She hears the baby cry so she knows that it’s alive, which answers one of the questions that is always asked at the birth of a child. Is it healthy? Did it live? She sees the midwife with a wriggling bundle of cloth coming toward. She holds out her arms in order to hold what–no, who–she is being handed. Still, the nurses are wiping her head and neck from the sweat. “Let me see the baby, please.”

“It is a boy, Your Grace,” she midwife says with joy as she hands the baby off to his mother.

“A boy.” She looks at his fingers and then his toes, counting them. He has her eyes but she can tell he will have her husband’s dark hair. They pull a blanket over after removing the bloodied sheets. The main midwife goes to the door, cracking, and whispering to someone.

“You can let him in. Please. I want him here.” She knows that it’s her husband at the door. The woman steps aside at her response. It is customary for women to be churched before returning to society, and some didn’t even want to seen until theirs occurred. Anne was not one of those women. “Richard. Look.” She hold the baby slightly tilted, still rocking him to calm him. “A boy. A little baby boy. A duke.”

Richard looks a mixture of relief and joy. He’s trying to hide all of his emotions but failing miserably. Everyone knows the dangers of childbirth, for both the mother and the child. So, to make it, even the first few hours, he considered it a blessing. He walks over tentatively as though he were a deer in a clearing. “A boy,” he said, heavy emotion in his voice. “A sweet boy.” He is standing over by them both now, and rubs a thumb over his cheek. He kisses Anne’s head where her hairline starts, and he kneels down to look closer at his son. “Anne, thank you.”

“He is small,” she says, rocking the baby.

“He will grow,” he says, finishing her thought.

“He will.”

[erosdoceamargo]

the childhood sweethearts richanne's moments in the sunne in splendour are so cute, but I was gagged when:

1. anne slept in richard's room and used his favorite blanket while he was away, because she was so afraid that he died she couldn't sleep

2. edward once called anne "dickon's anne".

Richard III/Anne Neville Fanfic Set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: A Reigning Enchantment

For the past several months, I've been working on an AU Queen Anne Neville/King Richard III fic. It's a retelling of their courtship set in the Harry Potter universe. 🪄

Summary: As children, Richard York and Anne Neville were the best of friends, but that all changed when they went off to Hogwarts. Now, Richard, a sixth-year Slytherin, has come to realize he wants Anne, a fifth-year Gryffindor, back in his life… and as more than a friend, if she’ll have him. But the course of true love never did run smooth for there are many who seek to thwart their chances at happiness.

It's now posted over on AO3:

Take Me to War Master-list

Cover:

Crossposted TO: Ao3 Link - listed as I'll Break the Sky on Ao3 ||Fanfic Masterlist

UPDATES ONCE A WEEK: Being written alongside Nikolina Rewrite of The Grisha Trilogy.

Relationships: Gwyane Hightower X Original Female Character, Jacaerys Velaryon X Original Female Character, Perkin Warbeck X Catherine Gordon.

Characters: Cecily-Anne (OC), Jacaerys Velaryon, Rhaenyra Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, Gwayne Hightower, Richard III, Anne Neville, Henry Tudor, Richard of Shrewsbury.

Taglist: @lordbettany, @rmelster, @fauxraven, @dreadbirate @hysterionic

Summary:

Reeling from the battle of Redmore Plain (later known as Bosworth Field), fifteen year old Cecily-Anne is a princess without her throne, family, or hope. Forced to play her cards with both hands tied, a seemingly mystical intercession forces her into a world that is shockingly similar to the England she knows. Yet it is also drastically different. It is there as a mere lady in waiting, that she is forced to pick a side in a war that has been played over in her England for decades. It remains to see as to whom will come out from this “Dance of Dragons,” unscathed and whole.

Notes:

General Tws: Brutal violence, implied sexual violence, sexism of the medieval period, religious mention, brutality. This is the first time the author has written for Gwayne Hightower, so please be kind! The author also only has a surface level knowledge of House of the Dragon/Game of Thrones, so please be courteous when making comments or suggestions. The Author is a history student with a special interest in the Wars of the Roses and Ricardian sources, so knowledge of that period will be largely correct.

Hello, can I ask from this ask game :

https://www.tumblr.com/threecheersforinking/677824836625694720/anime-ask-game?source=share

For anime/manga : Requiem of the Rose King, Heavenly Delusions, Uramichi Onisan, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Thanks 🌻

Sure! Seems pretty interesting so I'll give it a shot!

Favorite Character

Requiem of The Rose King: Joan of Arc

Heavenly Delusion: Juuichi (love his story arc)

Uramichi Oniisan: Iketeru Daga

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Touji Suzuhara

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene

Requiem of The Rose King: basically anything Joan, I love their presence with Richard and how they drive so much of their character arc

Heavenly Delusion: Juuichi's character arc. Such an incredible story in the anime

Uramichi Oniisan: 100% Iketeru dying of laughter at Uramichi's phallic jokes. Miyano Mamoru is too good of a voice actor

Neon Genesis Evangelion: specifically manga, Touji's EVA scene. Incredible work that's just heartbreaking across the board.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character I Think Is Underrated

Well, I'm not super into fandom conversations so it's hard to really say, but I'll give me best guesses

Requiem of The Rose King: King Richard. Despite an early death, his influence on the trajectory of the series as a whole is strongly felt.

Heavenly Delusion: Totori. I think a lot of people are unable to look past her surface and see the struggles that exist as deep-rooted and complex feelings.

Uramichi Oniisan: Furitsuke Capellini. Similar to Totori, I think a lot of people get caught up on initial impressions, stopping them from really enjoying the character as a whole (they're a riot in every scene).

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Touji

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character I think Is Overrated

Requiem of The Rose King: I honestly don't have an answer, and can't really think of one that might fit it.

Heavenly Delusion: Inazaki Robin. A lot of people see depth in them that's only present due to Kiruko. They're a facade of a character that specifically serves to develop Kiruko (not that it's bad, but that they're simply a tool)

Uramichi Oniisan: Iketeru Daga. I love him, but as a character he pales in comparison due to his simpler nature. Still incredibly fun and lovable though.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Another blank. NGE's characters are just so good that I can't really think of a character that might even be overrated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favorite Ship/Pairing

Requiem of The Rose King: Richard III x Anne Neville. Tried and true, nothing to complain about.

Heavenly Delusion: Mimihime x Shiro. No more to add.

Uramichi Oniisan: Kumatani x Usahara. They've just got it, and I love it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji x Asuka. Slightly more wholesome than Shinji x Rei, steps further into their comparable trauma, and paves the way towards a brighter future.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something I love About The Show

Requiem of The Rose King: Izumi Kentarou's art direction. God, the background art for RoRK looked so good (can't wait to see their work again on Delico's Nursery)

Heavenly Delusion: Mori Horitaka's direction. Made Heavenly Delusion into the single best adaptation I've ever watched, elevating Ishiguro's series in a way only an anime could.

Uramichi Oniisan: The humor. In both anime and manga, Gaku Kuze's darker adult life-focused comedy is unlike anything else (also manga designs are very nice).

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Pen Pen. Runner up is Shinji x Asuka dance routine.
