MAIN CHARACTERS: Richard III of England, Richard Plantagenet Duke of York, George Plantagenet Duke of Clarence, Edward IV of England, Edmund Plantagenet Earl of Rutland, Cecily Neville Duchess of York, Anne Plantagenet, Elizabeth Plantagenet, Margaret Plantagenet.
FIC SUMMARY: After the main festivities are over, the seven children of the Duke and Duchess of York share their traditional Christmas midnight feast. One of Richard's sisters has overheard their mother talking about her plans for Richard's future ... plans that do not please him at all. But Richard has some secrets of his own, and finds an ally in his father.

RECCER'S NOTES: This was a Yuletide gift for me, but it's still a lovely tale of family love for a young Richard III. The seeds are sown for the future, but overall it can't get rid of the warm glow this fic creates.
