Take King Henry VIII (I am, I am) and toss him into the 21st century as the lead singer/guitarist for a band called Whitehall. Not cracky enough? Ooookay.
Take Gabriella Montez, the sweetheart from High School Musical. You know the one, right? Thought so. Toss her into the same world. Have her meet Henry. One things leads to another and they start dating. Still not cracky enough? Cause that's rather cracky as it is.
Let's bring in some more. How about an over 4000 year old Immortal that remembers Henry when he was THE King and was a known court courtesan to him? Not enough? That's okay.... there's MORE.
Suddenly we have Lord Charles Brandon along with Henry's only acknowledge illegitamte son, Henry Fitzroy. Oh but Fitzroy? He never died of the sweating sickness. No... he became a vampire and is now a graphic novelist. He took the slow path, as Madame Pomfrey told the Doctor.
Not enough? Heh. Enter Jane Seymour. Henry's third wife and considered by history to be the one wife who was his true wife and true love. Well that's only because she was the only Queen to bear him a son. Also enter a version of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second "wife". Talk about going head to head with people you despise.
Oh yes, shortly Margaret Tudor enters the equation. Still married to Charles Brandon. Fun times abound! Who else could show up, right?
HA!
Here comes Anne of Cleves! Henry's fourth wife comes in after her non-consumated marriage was annulled and she is now considered the King's sister. Suits Anne just fine, but she gets to meet all the others.
In the mean time, Henry has tasted the forbidden fruit that would be his third wife, as she arrived only moments after accepting his engagement in their world and their marriage was not consumated till the night of their wedding. The first version of Anne has also disappeared. Enter new!Anne, who enters this world... only to find herself married to almost always high grim reaper, Mason... who just happens to look identical to Anthony Knivert.
In the mean time, Henry decides to throw a costume party for Halloween. Should be a piece of cake right? Heh. Foolish people.
Henry invites everyone. Jade, Jane, Charles, Margaret, Fitzroy, Gabriella, both Annes and Anne B brings her husband, dressed in true Tudor era garb. That alone creates mass confusion. Till Gabriella insults Jane, which pisses off Charles as he sees her as another Anne Boleyn. Oh did I mention that Anne and Mason both slugged Charles for mouthing off to Anne over her former relationship with Henry? Yeah, that was fun. Henry goes off to find Gabriella, Charles goes off to find Jane, both to make sure the respective ladies are okay.
Since this world can't possibly be nice, let's throw in some zombies... ZOMBIES?! Sure why not, we already have a vampire.
Halloween craziness ensues, Fitzroy vamps out and nearly kills Jane and turns Gabriella. Vamp!Gabby loses her virginity to Henry after she attacks him. Sonya manages to bring Jane back from the dead. Charles wants to stake Fitzroy.
One good thing from Halloween has brought the relationship between Jane Seymour and Charles Brandon, now engaged to be married. Cracky, I know. What about Margaret you ask? She disappeared from the world. Jane worries every day she will return or that Catherine Willoughby will arrive wanting to be with her husband.
Think there need to be more? So did we! After some craziness where Jane turned into Edward, an adult Edward shows up from a world different then his own in that he, obviously, did not die as a child. Also enter dear Queen Elizabeth I and Princess Mary Tudor before she became good ole' Bloody Mary. Surprisingly enough? Sibling bonding ensues.
Oh yes, let's not forget the arrival of Anthony Knivert. Whitehall IS complete!
Tons of craziness ensues, including the aging up, down, up then down again of Gabriella. A fairy tale prince showing up that looks IDENTICAL to her ex, Troy. Oh and her former frienemy and now BFF, Sharpay shows up.
But! That's not all folks!
After Mary disappeared, things were fairly calm save for the above for poor Gabby. Then... Mary returned. Oh that's not a big deal, really. Except... her mother arrived too.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read right! Katherine of Aragon, Queen of England and Henry's FIRST (and to her his true and legitimate wife till her death) has arrived in our little vortex of crack. And she's just as stubborn as ever. Still married to her beloved Henry, she still holds true to her vows and is of the mind now as she was when he was trying to divorce her for Anne Boleyn. Lots of scrambling has started to ensue.
Oh and apparently Anne and Katherine are working their way to being OMG BFFsssssssss!
Cracktastic you say? Why I thought that was all perfectly clear and normal. ;-)
