    Summary

    LYSANDER:
    Ay me! For aught that I could ever read,
    Could ever hear by tale or history,
    The course of true love never did run smooth.
    (Midsummer's Night Dream, Act I, Scene I)

    Asami Sato was a rising Hollywood star when, surrounded by vicious rumours, she traded red carpets for rehearsal halls, leaving behind the shallow glare of the film industry for a shot at real theatre at the elite (and cutthroat) Zaofu Theatre Conservatory. Korra’s been the department’s golden girl (and resident hearbreaker) for over a year — and she’s not about to let some ex–movie star steal her stage. But when casting lists, late-night rehearsals, even later-night bar shifts, crazy parties, and a disastrous roommate shuffle keep throwing them together, rivalry starts looking a lot like chemistry.

    But let's face it, everything looks like chemistry if you add some Shakespeare.

    Summary

    1601
    “The rest is silence.”

    The curtains closed.

    Crowley flicked his hand.

    The hundred or so people who had unknowingly wandered into the globe that afternoon, and had no memory of why or how they bought tickets, found themselves on their feet in a deafening round of applause. Their eyes pooled with tears at the moving tragedy they had just witnessed, convinced that they had discovered a hidden gem of the theatre scene.

    Summary

    It’s been so long, you’ve forgotten to expect it. And yet, there it is: a dusty, faded flower, sitting pretty on your doorstep. The thing’s face is withered, nearly gray instead of purple, and a simpler you could write that off as the cause of your delay in recognition if the thing wasn’t so distinctive, and that makes it denial, and isn’t that so much worse?

    A little necklace adorns the thing; thin string punched through cream-colored paper, the corners folded just-so. A wax seal you might recognize, but coordinates you don’t, at least not from here, so you lean in for a closer look. You pick up the flower, and something in your mind whitens. The fuzz of the stem prickles at your thumb, just like so many kisses, and that- that is when his voice comes up, dread-warmth in your ear.

    “For bonny sweet Robin is all of my joy.”

    ///

    Summary

    When he was still alive, it seemed Willis couldn’t stop breaking the law for more than three months at a time. The inevitable moment he’d trade solid employment and routine hours for handguns and drug rings always came, no matter how good the goings were. The danger of the streets called him home like a lover. It was incomprehensibly stupid to Jason then.

    But oh he gets it now.

    Summary

    "Jason had an essay due this coming week,
    An AP Lit analysis of Hamlet.
    The only line he’d managed to write down
    Was “to be or not to be…in bed.”
    It made him laugh, but set the work aside,
    As chasing after Mother set him back –
    And nothing’s cost him more than this has now."

    OR:
    Hamlet's Act 3, Scene 1 soliloquy through Jason's eyes while in the warehouse.

    Written in (mostly) iambic pentameter.

    OR

     

    Nirei Akihiko, has lived in the same town his entire life, he knows everything and everywhere in town. But what he also knows, is that he does not belong here, not in the way that everybody else does.

    His first year at Furin, had been something that would help him find his feet, and hopefully give him that sense of belonging that he had always wanted to have. But as his first year goes on, it seems that something or someone is looking to drive a wedge between Nirei and the life that he had made for himself with his friends.

    But as Nirei keeps being pushed away, by those he is closest to, he begins to ask the question:

     

    Why Should I Stay?

     

    Is there something here that’s worth him sticking around? Or would everyone's lives be easier without Nirei here?

    Summary


    “What’s the last thing you remember?” asked the man who’d approached. Because he had approached, gifted a drink, to replace the one the stunning man had finished. He remembered that much. There was a long moment while the attractive man thought. Then he shook his head.

    “Who are you?” he replied instead of answering.

    The first man now had his own turn to think. He’d come over here to flirt, because this man was cute, with interesting eyes and broad shoulders. Before this, there’d been… blood? And flutters of blue and gold? What did that mean? A gold haze floated the worry away.

    “Someone who’s interested in knowing you better,” he deflected, his voice dropping into a smooth glide that felt natural. The handsome man’s ears were visible, behind the edge of his mask, and not covered by his black spiky hair. At his words, those ears tinged a dusky red. Oh, that was fascinating. He smiled wider. “What about you?”


    ******

    To set the scene, there was that night a golden masquerade party, a repeating, bloody scene, and the mystery of who they were or even their very names.
