“King Elizabeth the Second,” Jack suggests grandly.
And this is the part where my heart cracked open. Because Jack really sees Elizabeth, as clearly as she sees that line of seas and sky. He sees very clearly what she is and isn't (and what she is struggling to be.)
I love your Elizabeth's internal voice, conflicted and honest and intelligent and really, as complex and genuine as a real person. This whole thing is so beautifully written. The language is gorgeous and every sentence feels set in its proper place, with a perfect rhythm. Lovely, amazing.
