    "WORDS IN THE HEART CANNOT BE TAKEN." Here you can watch sentient ideologies fight over who gets to overwrite history.

    CURRENTLY SCREENING: WEAKNIGHTS
    It'd be better if they went into that gentle night quietly. But I suppose that in a world gone indifferent you have to be willing to get M.A.D to raise even the littlest thing of defiance against inevitability.
    Archetypes:
    BRAVO - Cruelty and bullying are your good points.
    Bully others into submission. Strength is Willpower. Weakness is Anger.
    BON VIVANT - Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
    Try to enjoy life as long as it lasts. Strength is Love of Life. Weakness is Escapism.
    VISIONARY - There is something more to life and this existence.
    See beyond the mundane to focus on what things should be. Strength is Imagination. Weakness is Anxiety.
    GALLANT - A rogue to themselves, a nuisance to most.
    Seek attention and adulation from others. Strength is Boldness. Weakness is Flamboyance.
    -----------
    A weird sort of 3rd and 1st person narration between multiple characters with back and forth dialogue.

    Summary

    Horatio’s story, from before the beginning until the very end.

    A medium-velocity-burn journey through the fluff-to-angst pipeline with a loyal, nerdy, prickly, laconic, and gentle person as a guide.

    Expect complex backstories, wild canon divergences, sexually charged character development, and classics as a coping mechanism.

    I always wondered how exactly someone seemingly so well-adjusted and self-sufficient as Horatio becomes so blindly devoted to someone like Hamlet?

    Summary

    Of history repeating itself, of ghosts who return and people who can't move on.

    Summary

    Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Renaissance gentlemen, from their young days brought up together at the Danish royal court with the crown prince of Denmark. Now students, they’re enjoying themselves immensely at Wittenberg University – perhaps a little too much, their contemporaries might argue. Carefree bordering on careless. Indulging in food, drink, and – behind closed doors – each other.
    Unfortunately, they will be summoned back to Elsinore, where the walls have ears and secrets can be fatal.

    This fic is about the characters in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but I’m also drawing from their extended characterization and dynamic in Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. So these are the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern who have to navigate court intrigue, not timeloop amnesia, but they still play questions.

    Fair warning that these characters remain in their historic setting and will not have the vocabulary we have today to describe their actions and feelings.

    Summary

    The well-worn path that is the story of Illyria has veered off course, Shakespeare attempts to put things back on track (this isn't the first time dissidents have appeared in his stories), but is being opposed by another, newer writer and one of his own characters.

    Will Feste and the writer succeed in freeing the prisoners? Will Antonio recover from his brief bout of eldritch madness? Or will Shakespeare once again prevail?

    Summary

    This is the continuation of my first work "Shakespearean Life of a University Student"
    It really will not make any sense if you do not read the first one.
    I took some characters from different plays and put them together into a university setting.

    Summary

    — Ідзіце следам. Малю, сачыць за ёю добра! — усклікае кароль, і Гарацыа адразу ж пакідае пакой следам за Афеліяй. Не таму, што словы гэтыя гучаць як загад, не таму, што сапраўды ім з’яўляюцца, — але ад шчырага спачування.

    Summary

    Horatio has to deal with the aftermath of the original events of Hamlet. Is he capable of passing down Hamlet's story? Is he truly the most trusted and reliable character? Can he survive his own guilt, or will he go mad like the rest?

    ___

    This is my English Capstone project, where I had the liberty of writing a screenplay. My main goal was to hold Horatio under scrutiny while exploring other side characters. I put in a lot of work into this, so I may as well post it here!

    Summary

    He can feel Hamlet’s bones, his ribcage, his—

    Holy shit.

    Horatio snaps upright, then presses his palm back to Hamlet’s chest. Two fingers to the side of his neck, then the base of each wrist. Horatio checks once twice thrice, his eyes widening. Because there, faint but certain through Hamlet’s skin, is a pulse.

    Hamlet is alive.

     

    (Hamlet lives, the tragedy continues, and Horatio picks up the pieces.)
