[A Midsummer Night's Dream.] No wonder Oberon is King of the Fairies. He's quite a Fairy himself.

This story was inspired by the 1996 movie version in which Orsino is first seen with his arm in a sling. This is a speculation on what Viola's early service to the Duke might have been like. I own nothing. Rated T for implied nudity. Nothing too explicit.

After enduring much misfortune in her family, Ophelia takes a stroll down to the brook. Little would she expect the plans fate had for her there. This was originally an assignment for English class when I was in my senior year of high school. The requirement was to write a scene for Ophelia's death in Hamlet using context clues from Scene 7 with a minimum of 300 words.

In the original play, Hamlet had the opportunity to kill Claudius in the Church while he prayed, but hesitated at the last moment. This is what would happen if he binge ate one million PB&J sandwiches before doing the deed.

Before his death and battle, he gave his final moment of loving his Katherine the Black Rose. He gave his speech and reunite in heaven.

Hamlet comes to check if his mother has taken his advice and banished the king from her chambers. Based on the 1991 film version of "Hamlet". One-Shot.

2nd October 1452: A ten year old Edward, Earl of March, the future Edward IV, awaits with his father the birth of his new sibling. While awaiting the birth, Ned learns an anxious side to his father, the Duke of York, and ponders what it means to be the heir of a noble house and a good brother in a violent world. Can be seen as Shakespearean and non-Shakespearean.

After Act Five, scene three, Troilus drops Cressida's glove.

A one-off I wrote from Claudius's perspective. I always thought Hamlet was a little twit and that his uncle was the cooler character.

In which I finish the story begun by Mamillius in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale".

Hamlet wrote Ophelia a brief poem, each line relating to an aspect of their relationship and lives - but little to either of them know where it will lead.

This story takes place in the same alternate universe as "Sweet Dreams" but it didn't fit in with what I had in mind for the original story, so I've written it up as a separate piece.
