So, I stayed up late last night reading this, and read it again after I got home tonight. I wanted to process this before leaving a review.

YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF ONE-SHOTS. Seriously. I can't do them AT ALL as well as you can. Time and again, your one-shots are amazing! Well done on this one!

Second, the conclusion is the sweet one we've all been hoping for but couldn't have; this is well paced, well thought-out, and very realistic of how a former couple would pick up the pieces when thrust together, not of their own volition, in this case by royal decree. Neither party nor witnesses objected at the wedding, and the bride didn't get cold feet, so you could only begin reading this story clinging to the hope that they would rekindle the love that was always there, just buried under boiling anger, hurt feelings, feelings of inadequacy and immense frustration.

John is a kind and patient husband, and though we don't see much at all of Pocahontas in the role of housewife, their personalities are straight out of the film and the characters have the same push-pull dynamic and impulsiveness and strong wills that defined them. They play off each other well-they are very well suited to one another when they pick fights and when they kiss and make up.

I noticed that Gov. Alexander Brown appears in some of your other work, Finding the Words for one. He's a nice "additional" character who fits well wherever he goes, like beige or eggshell white on a wall, he complements, adds just enough but doesn't detract from the main display.

I do hope the couple took a moment to close the bedchamber window before getting down to the business of peace terms-when she was reading the letters and later crying, the window was open! :)

Again, bravo. I really enjoyed this.
