At Her Majesty’s Pleasure
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/Amy Pond Setting: Modern Royalty AU Chapters: 4/?
Amelia Pond wasn't prepared for her parents' death. Sure she has spent her whole life preparing to become the Queen of the small country of Freylon, but it wasn't supposed to happen like this. With parliament breathing down her neck, pressuring her to marry her betrothed, Rory Williams, Amy has to navigate a delicate political minefield while deciding if an arranged marriage is truly something she wants.
Sherlock Holmes is a member of the royal guard, or ex-member. He resigned the night of the King and Queen's death, not accepting the "accident" story. There is something more to their deaths that no one else seems to be investigating. He came back to be the bodyguard for the new Queen to be. But between the growing anti-monarchy sentiment in the country and the invisible enemy threatening her life, it’s a bit harder than he first thought.
Can he save his Queen's life before it's too late? Will he be able to solve the clues that seem to be sporadic and disconnected? Most of all, what is he going to do when he starts falling in love with the stubborn Queen to be?
