Third day of the meme:
More composition and fierce quality (6108 words) by Selena
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Borgias, Historical RPF, 15th Century CE RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sancia & Vannozza, Sancia & Rodrigo Borgia, Sancia/Juan Borgia, Sancia & Alfonso, Sancia & Lucrezia Borgia, Rodrigo Borgia/Vannozza dei Cattanei, Sancia & Ferrante of Naples, Sancia/Gioffre Borgia
Characters: Sancia (Borgias), Rodrigo Borgia, Vannozza dei Cattanei, Juan Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia, Alfonso (Borgias), Alfonso of Aragon, Cesare Borgia, Gioffre Borgia
Summary:
This was written for Lightningwaltz as part of a Rarewomen ficathon, during the hiatus of season 2 and season 2 of The Borgias. Now, Sancia shows up only in the first season, and there not very often (ditto for the youngest Borgia brother, Joffre). The Naples storyline which already took a lot of historical liberties in s1 and early s2 goes into complete historical AU in season 3, but when I wrote the story, s3 hadn't happened yet, and thus I was free to use some history in addition to the bits and pieces s1 of the show had given us about Sancia to fulfill this request about a character I hadn't given much thought of before and probably never would have written about, save for said request.
As it turned out, Sancia was great fun to write and flesh out. Naples, and the difference between Naples and Rome, between the Borgias and Sancia's own family, from Sancia's pov, became intriguing to explore, was was being a (noble) bastard in the Renaissance (and the very different way Sancia and Juan handle it). In a way, I'm glad the show didn't bring Sancia back in s3 because I became fond of my version and like to think she continued to thrive off screen.
( The rest of the days )
