New jobs send you a little AWOL but I’ve been keeping up with the TL, excited and sad to see it come to a conclusion
and whatever’s next of course.Another possibility for a short TL is that I transfer 'Beaufort Prince' over from AO3 and finish it. What do you think? Anyone interested in a story where Bessie Blount has a girl and Mary Boleyn is the mother to Henry's only recognised bastard son?
I'll see what I can do when I get back from Cornwall then.
