Summary: Charlotte at Queen Mary's coronation.
Warning: none.
Notes: I will probably expand this one someday.


Charlotte had forgotten how court could shine.

She shone too in her rich black dress, silver and sapphires circling her throat. But Mary-- Her Majesty-- shone the brightest. Every inch the queen in purple and gold, her hair loose beneath her crown, Mary presided over her court with a benevolent smile.

Everything was as it was when they were girls: fine dresses, lovely jewels, people bowing, saluting Mary as queen, and soon, England would again rest safely in the bosom of the church.

If Mary's eyes shone with something darker--

It didn't matter.

Everything would be just as it was.
