Gregory Cromwell thinks his teacher Anne Boleyn would make a great girlfriend for his widower dad, little does he know Mary tudor has the same idea for her recently divorced dad, eventual Ot3
Okay so, have some stream of consciousness
Thomas Cromwell & Eliza Wyckes - they loved each other very much and when she fell pregnant at sixteen by accident and she decided she wanted to have the baby he was determined to be an equal parent. And he was. When she died in a car crash when Gregory was six months old he was his sons sole parent and juggled an infant with school. Right now Tom Cromwell is a reasonably newly qualified lawyer who’d like to work in government in some way and due to a benefactor/mentor has been able to send his son to Fancy Private School.
Gregory is now...let us say seven which means that he’s in Year Two or Three (I think). Anyway Anne is his favourite teacher ever - she’s a lot of peoples favourite teacher actually. Her classes does a lot of really fun activities (they have small class sizes as well) and trips and music.
Mary (Marisol) Tudor is also seven. Her parents divorced when she was pretty little but in this world it was actually genuinely amicable - they both realised they’d grown apart and it just wasn’t working so now they are friends and co-parents. Her mother is happily remarried but she worries about her dad.
Her dad has had a lot of casual partners which is great, he likes that, but no one he’s really wanted to introduce Mary to (well no actually there was one person - she liked Will but he didn’t work out) and anyway, it’s cool.
Enter Mary’s Favourite Teacher Who Henry Meets And Is Like...*fuck* And then also enter Hot Fellow Dad to which Henry is like THIS. THIS IS BIPHOBIC AND UNFAIR MURDER ME.
What actually happens is the adults come together partly because Mary and Gregory become friends and decide to Have A Scheme To Get Them To Date (which okay in seven year old terms is...Different). By ‘scheme’ I mean that Mary drags her dad over to her teacher and says ‘Ms Anne, you should marry my dad and Mr Cromwell should too’ and Henry is like ‘....OH FUCK’ internally and Gregory Cromwell is like ‘Dad you and Ms Anne and Mr Tudor should get married and have icecream all the time’
(They’d had icecream because Tom and Henry were classroom helpers (is that a thing in the UK?) and they’d gotten to know each other during that).
“I’m so sorry” says a mortified Henry Tudor who just CANNOT RIGHT NOW. (Like it would be so nice but HE CANNOT).
“Greg, sweetling it’s lovely that you want your favourite people to be around all the time but Ms Anne and Mr Tudor and I aren’t getting married” says Tom Cromwell who also CANNOT. THIS IS SO BIPHOBIC.
(They do end up getting married obviously).
(Anne was like ‘....OH G-D HELP ME. Also it is DEEPLY BIPHOBIC)
