Inspired by @period-dramallama I am thinking about the genuine respect/gentleness/something going on between More and Cromwell in The Tudors.

"May your heart remain breakable But never by the same hand twice" And even louder: "without your past, you could never have arrived- so wondrously and brutally, By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance ...here." And in the death of her reputation, She felt truly alive.

"And now, his monarch's sweating face thrust into his, he remembers something his father told him: if you burn your hand, Tom, raise your hands and cross your wrists before you, and hold them so till you get to the water or the salve: I don't know how it works, but it confuses the pain, and then if you utter a prayer at the same time, you might get off not too bad. He raises his palms. He crosses his wrists. Back you go, Henry. As confused by the gesture — as if almost relieved to be stopped—the king face away and so relieving him, Cromwell, of that bloodshot stare, of the indecent closeness of the popping blue whites of the king's eyes. He says, softly, 'God preserve you, Majesty. And now, will you excuse me?' (Mantel, H. 2012. Bring up the Bodies. 276-277)

So @theladyelizabeth prompted me for ‘Robert Dudley Falls Off His Horse’ OT3 verse angst and here, have what I’ve written. This is set in 1547 in the OT3 verse which is a year in which Things Happen A Lot Which Makes Everyone Very Upset.
“I should never have married you, my lord - better a marriage arranged than with a man as hateful as you have turned out to be - I never knew you at all, it seems.”
It was venom. It was designed to hurt and it was said with all the hatred Elizabeth could muster but underneath, underneath there was hurt - hurt that her Robin, Robin who she had trusted with her heart could be so cruel, could understand her so little. 
The words hit him, piercing his heart and soul. Robert had known he had gone too far before but pride, the pride that both of them had meant that he could not see how either of them could bend. 
“I am going riding, your royal highness.”
“You are running away. I will never forgive you.”
Neither of them turn back to see the others anger turn to tears. 
It had not been a year that either Robert or Elizabeth would look back upon with any fondness but for one thing - the birth of their second and third child but that, that was not yet in evidence. Instead there had been bleak horror after bleak horror and it had worn on them both and not for the better. 
Later neither of them could remember how the argument had begun - over some minor thing - perhaps a disagreement over when Nanette should have her first pony, perhaps simply that Elizabeth was exhausted, worried over everything that had happened or perhaps it was that Robert had flirted with a lady in waiting at court in a way that had worried Elizabeth - yes, they played the game of courtly love all the time (sometimes it was even pleasurable to play on each others jealousness) but Elizabeth had been worrying over old stories of what her father had done after she had been born, before Tommy. Worrying that after all Robert was a man, no matter his vows. 
Perhaps it was that Robert, feeling as though his wife was pulling away was desperately trying to get her attention back to him. Perhaps it was that they were both scared and angry and full of pride. But whatever it was that began it, they were soon yelling with real venom at each other. 
“Why must you always doubt me Elizabeth - could you not see that I am not your father?”
“Are you not - as far as I can see every man seems to be my father. You are merely worse because you vowed to me you were not what you are Lord Dudley. “
“Only one of your fathers - though the other is certainly committing adultery with a vengeance - then again he hardly came to the arrangement a virgin. Perhaps you are more alike to your royal father than you believe, Your Highness”
Robert almost stopped himself. Almost. He knew he had gone too far. Knew he had never wanted to say such a thing - he had only meant that Elizabeth’s second father had been married before he had met her parents. But that was not how Elizabeth had taken it - between that and the implication that she was akin to her father in marriage she had entirely lost herself. 
That was when she had spat that she wished she had never married him. 
That was when Robert had turned his back rather than back down. 
That was when both of them had sobbed when the other was out of sight, sure that they had broken something between them. 
It was when Robert had taken his horse out riding in the rain, hoping to try to not think or at least to hide his despair in the icy rain and mud. It was when he, trying to jump a hedge had had his horse startle at the snap of a tree in the wind had been thrown, his horse falling on top of him. It was here that he had lain, wondering if this was to be his last moments, bitterly regretting his own pride that had lead him to this place. 
It was when Elizabeth heard tell of an accident that all her anger and pride had deserted her - only too clearly she now saw she had been listening to all the insecurities of her heart rather than the man she had married. And now he lay in a bed, face contorted with pain, still shivering with cold despite the heat of the fire and the warming bricks placed in their bed. 
“I am sorry Robin. I am so sorry. My foolish, misguided pride. I am glad I married you, glad every day. It is only that I worry I can…how can I be enough for you? Can Nanette be enough for you, even if we never have another child? The world tells me it can never be true.”
Robert cries then, cries because he has never ever wanted to make Elizabeth feel that she was not enough for him, a thousand times enough for him. 
“Bess, do you remember what I told you under that oak tree, when I asked to court you?” 
“That I was your Gloriana. That you loved me beyond reason, beyond measure. That you would, you would teach me how to make bird calls perfectly one day.”
“You and I are paired flames, my darling - there could never be another. Never one who would be first in my heart. And if Nanette is our only child then she is enough. Always enough. More than enough - she is a miracle, our daughter.” 
Elizabeth leans her head so that their foreheads are resting together. They are both weeping now and are heedless of it.
