Fics like To Spin a Babe From Straw

The king is grieving. His wife. His son. When the dead lie as heavy as stones, when they swirl like leaves on the wind, you discover a memory system you never knew you learned. There is no need for unlikely juxtapositions, for shaved cats or Plato with his ladle, the dead demand no invention. They blossom from the smallest seeds. And if an open door is enough for Jane Seymour to creep sideways into a room, as quiet as she was in life, why not spin a prince from straw or go down to the river and dig one up like a lost coin? Henry VIII orders Thomas Cromwell to investigate a witch who claims she can give him a son.
