Title: Francis's Revenge
Author:jurious
Fandom: Elizabeth (1998 movie, dir. Shekhar Kapur)
Pairing/Characters: Queen Elizabeth I/Francis Walsingham
Rating: Mature
Length: 3222
Summary: Francis Walsingham could have his pick of women -- only, his fianceé had already been chosen for him, by his grandfather! A family feud meant Francis was being forced into a vengeful seduction: he must get engaged to Elizabeth, then jilt her...
Heiress Elizabeth was used to men wanting her for her money. But Francis seemed genuinely interested in her -- was this the real thing? Francis was amazed to realize he found Elizabeth’s innocence so sexy. Maybe instead of jilting her, he should marry her?
Notes: Written for theunconventionalcourtship 2021 challenge. Based on the summary of the novel "Rome's Revenge" (2001) by Sara Craven. This has turned out to be just a first chapter, the story got away from me; I shall hopefully add a more to it soon. I also appreciate this is a really niche, rare AU pairing, I think I'm the only person writing it at the moment that I can find. I have to stress it's a ship based on and inspired by the characters in the movie "Elizabeth", a piece of historical fiction, and the ship has nothing to do with the actual history that the film is based on. It is written as a modern AU.
