Author's Notes
(a random selection of ramblings and warnings on this piece)
Please check back as I update for warnings on the different chapters!
Basic history: Instead of a story inspiring art, this time I
had a piece of art inspire this story! My friend Lucie-sama (Katie) had been
watching Romeo & Juliet (the one with Leo Di Caprio) and in her words, "I
wondered what would have happened and if there would have been more trouble if
Juliet were a man." (Personally, even though it's not SPELLED like that, I like
Juliette better... ^_^;;) And...she drew a lovely picture and...this story was
born. I don't care who doesn't like what I did to it; love between two young
men is just as "right" as love between a young woman and a young man, and I don't intend to debilitate William
Shakespeare's great work. I'm not writing
this in play form, or in archaic language. It's just a story. I repeat, it's just
a story!!
Act Un: All the Impossibilities--
Warnings: Violence. Boy/boy love (nothing besides a few kisses, I promise! ^_^) and some serious homophobia. ^_^ Have fun
Summary: Romeo Montague, a young noble, sneaks out with his "lowlife" friend Mercutio to "have some fun" at the rival family's ball. He doesn't expect to meet the young, lovely Juliet Capulet there, however, and THAT, my friends, changes EVERYTHING...
Rating: PG-13 for violence as well as some adult concepts.
Act Deux: Concerning a Balcony and Two Boys--
Warnings: Boy/boy love and a little language. Some dirtiness between Mercutio and Benvolio. Wah. I dunno, it's the balcony scene, folks. Fairly tame. :P
Summary: Romeo finds his Juliet at his balcony musing and calls up to him.
Rating: PG-13. Story on a whole: PG-13
Special note: Eh, it was brought to my attention that I'm not following and characterizing the play exactly. I don't intend to, either. This is a fairly simplified version that revolves almost completely around Romeo and Juliet. Wah, yes, a cheap knock-off, if you see it that way. I hope you don't.
