Crusader John is definitely still my dream project though I feel like I have very little to show for it at this time. I've written a lot but it's more like little paragraphs or thoughts or one-off scenes here and there and nothing coherent enough to share unfortunately.

I do have my own vague modern AU, where I try my hand at what personality characteristics I think would be the most central to them and would translate across period and space. I have a few ideas about just a What If Young Henry Lived AU, as well as a What If one of the boys really did switch with Alys to the French court and what that relationship with Philip would look like - whether Richard or John. I almost never consider that it would be anyone else.

One that is vaguely similar to Crusader John that I'd like to do some writing and thinking about it an age reversal for the Plantagenet brothers - John the Young King and little Henri Sens Terre - and how the differences in their personalities would change if their circumstances were swapped.
