Fics like Means and ends

Was ever woman in this humour woo'd? No, frankly. But for Anne, turning from Lancastrian widow into Yorkist wife is a smart move, and doing so with apparant reluctance a smarter one yet. There was a prior agreement - two, really, one between children at Middleham who thought they were in love; and one between adults in London who understood that love has nothing to do with it. Richard knows all there is to know about gaining power, but what to do with it once it's his? For that he needs a wife who understands pragmatism and survival. And had their son lived, he might just have had the sense to realise it.
