raspberryhunterThis is what happens when you leave me unattended, I'm just saying. Canon-divergence fix-it fic is what happens!
What I needed more than anything else after watching Don Carlo was to have fixed — not Rodrigo's sacrificial death — I desperately wanted to have fixed the part where his sacrifice doesn't end up saving anyone at all. (There's not even really any hope for either Carlos or Flanders. That's all I really ask.) Also I have a lot of Feelings about Philip and Rodrigo, and how in the opera there is a strong consciousness of the lord-liege relationship between them on both sides that — if it could have been leaned on just a bit more — Well. Anyway.
Concrit and discussion are always welcome — on all my fics, really (it's interesting to see what did and didn't work for people, and different interpretations, as well as nice things, which of course I always enjoy), but this one particularly because unless I get hit by a bus there are going to be more fics in this fandom coming :P

Rodrigo makes one last bid to fulfill his responsibilities to the King, to protect the Queen, and to protect his Carlos, even after his death.
This time, he is successful.

I hope pinch-hitting went well!
