Flatmates – Chapter 14

queenbessofyork:

In a house of seven women, it wasn’t exactly curious that Lizzie was unable to find any type of privacy at any time of day.  She had gratefully accepted her mother’s offer to share quarters, leaving the younger five to split across two bed rooms, though it did mean squeezing into the only room even remotely available in the cramped terrace house.  She was just grateful that unlike at Christmas time, she was able to seep in an actual bed this time, even if it did mean sharing with her mum.  Beth Woodville had carved out a sliver of her overstuffed wardrobe to accommodate her daughter, and had cleared a spot on the dresser just below the mirror for Lizzie to arrange her beauty products and personal belongings.

So, really, it was far from surprising that, after Mary had initially answered the phone, Lizzie had chosen to take her rather unexpected call in the minuscule garden, hemmed in on all sides by a timeworn brick wall and not exactly out of earshot of the kitchen window.  She’d parked herself on the shallow steps that led down from the patio area to the scraggly yard, and shrugged off her red cardigan.

Modern AU – Elizabeth Tudor 

Marleen Lohse as young Elizabeth 
Gillian Anderson as mature Elizabeth

Elizabeth Tudor was born on September 7, 1975. A bright and precocious child she developed a love of learning early on in life thanks to the private tutors her father hired for her. She showed a particular aptitude for languages, history and critical thinking. In school, she was always top of the class and yet still made time for extra-curricular activities: dance classes were her favourite. 

She attended King’s College London for university and studied Classics though later on she obtained a Master’s of Political Science at the London School of Economics. It was during this time that she decided to pursue a career in politics. Running for MP in London she won people over with her sparkling charisma, sharp sense of humour and her deep understanding of what her country needed. At age 25, she was elected as MP, one of the youngest women in Parliament. 

Throughout the years, Elizabeth dedicated her life to her career, forgoing marriage and children in lieu of achieving her ultimate ambition: to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It was a long journey, filled with pitfalls, set backs and endless debating and campaigning. At age 45 her hard work had paid off and she was elected Prime Minister in 2020.

She soon realized that the battle had only just began. Officially out of the European Union, Elizabeth now had to navigate the murky waters of Post-Brexit Britain, an outcome she was personally displeased with. Still, her primary concern was for Britain’s welfare and she made it her first priority to raise Britain’s status in the world again now that it seemed to lay on shaky ground. Despised by some, revered by others, it would be her greatest challenge yet.

#still reviewing your fic alksdjflksjd but i thought id post this now as per your msgs ❤ #i might have a few things off bc boy do i suck at math ++ bc i changed a few things since i feel that h7 would’ve insisted that all divorces #were finalized before any re-marrying occurred #the crossed-out items are events that did not happen in this au – for example h7 is still alive so thus his son is not king etc

thank you!! this is so……incheresting……i have so many questions…. dsjkfjsdl…
