I agree with your author's note that we need more King Henrik love on here!
Loved it! It was very heartbreaking for both parties involved but by the end there was that glimmer of hope that things would work out just fine for them. Great job!
Gaah. I'm sorry I can't write you a more "meaningful" comment but your writing leaves me at a loss of words. Your writing is so vivid and powerful; it grips you by the collar and refuses to let go at any cost. All I can say is "Gaah", this is wonderful, perfect, I love it. Please never stop writing.
