Richard II/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for  Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure. Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. Likewise, warn if it may head into non-canon territory.

Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Recommendations Template
Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)
 * Recommended by: Troper Name
 * Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
 * Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
 * Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with Characterization Tags if doing so would be equally indicative.  ("uber!Harry" for Harry Potter, for instance.)
 * Comments: If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want Conversation in the Main Page.

Authors and Websites
angevin2
 * Recommended by Sophrosyne
 * Comments: Angevin2 is brilliant at writing intricate, evocative, heartbreaking gems--often, though not always, in very few words--about Richard, his beloved wife Anne of Bohemia, his lovers Robert de Vere and Edward, Duke of Aumerle, and his complex relationship with his cousin Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV). Particularly recommended are Privilege (which deals with an attempted threesome of Anne/Richard/Robert set in a university in the 1980s and 1990s), Four Universes Where It Mostly Worked Out (which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin), and The Kindest Use a Knife (which attempts to make sense of why murdered Richard in The Hollow Crown version of the play.
