This is the outline of the story. No promises on when I'll actually get to writing it. PM me if you want to write it yourself so I can direct readers your way :)
MASSIVE SPOILERS - IT'S THE WHOLE PLOT FOR THE STORY!
So, basically we were learning about Mary, Queen Of Scots in History today when I came up with an idea.
So Mary's second husband was a drunkard called Lord Darnley. He was tall, handsome, rich and big-headed. In short, Darnley got jealous of Mary's secretary, a man called David Rizzio. He was said to be amusing and good company. Some said he was Mary's lover. Darnley killed David Rizzio, stabbed him 56 times. There is a famous painting showing a 6-month-pregnant Mary trying to protect David Rizzio. After the murder, she resented her husband.
For my story, I was thinking Shane Collins could be Darnley, Myrnin could be David Rizzio and Claire could be Mary. For a plot twist, baby James (Mary gave birth to him 3 months after Rizzio's murder) could be Rizzio's/Myrnin's son. And if we get up to her marriage to the supposed killer of Darnley, James Hepburn 4th Earl of Bothwell, I was thinking that could be Jason Rosser.
