Fics like Growth Is Uncomfortable (Because You've Never Been Here Before)

"He said if I wanted to help, they would be instrumental in understanding how." Henry outright laughed at this. It was a hollow, joyless sound, and Philip, to his credit, merely looked chastised instead of angry. "Do you? Want to help, that is." Henry narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the emotion written on Philip's face. He had never been easy to read, always hidden behind the stuffy upper class posture of a royal, but now it seemed that some of that wall built around him had slipped away. "Yes." He didn't expand on his answer, didn't fill the room with platitudes and meaningless explanations. His response was, in full, simply: yes. Henry stared at him in shock. ________________________________ In the week following the leak, Philip has a series of conversations that lead him down a path of introspection and understanding. Each told through a different POV. Or: Philip gets a redemption arc because I want Henry to have as much love and support as he can, and I loveeeee character growth. This follows the book for characters/plotline, but I extended the amount of time between the leak/when Henry sits down with the Queen so that this had time to take place.
