Summary
Denmark has undergone so much change over the past weeks, and while Ophelia would like to simply ignore the changing of the winds, her father and brother grow more and more concerned by the coughing sickness she has. While she assures them that it isn't the flower-sickness and that it's simply the changing seasons, she knows that the flowers pouring from her lips can only last so long. Ideally, she would share her plight with Hamlet, and their courtship would bloom in the open to heal her, but with his grief, her father and brother have forbidden her from continuing to see him. Not only that, but Hamlet has seemingly gone mad with the grief he has from the loss of his father. With no good choices, Ophelia finds herself caught up in the machinations of those around her, no matter the tragic end it sends her towards.

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
The clock strikes twelve.
A ghost is come.
The dead have risen, and the late king does not show his face, but he is there nonetheless.
Horatio sees Hamlet’s pale, scared face every time he closes his eyes, and through it all he hears his prince’s voice: have you seen a ghost, Horatio? Have you seen a ghost, Horatio? Have you seen a ghost?
Now, with as much certainty as his eyes can give, he must say that he has.

Summary
This is my first fic and I wrote it at 3 am.
It had been months since he had last seen Hamlet and somehow Hamlet had ruined everything. First his father was killed and then his sister drowned, driven mad by heartbreak. And at fault for each of these deaths was Hamlet. And he was going to get revenge.
Once upon a time, Laertes loved Hamlet. Kind, charming Hamlet. The one constant in his life, next to his family. They had been young and Laertes had fallen headfirst in love with him.

Summary
Mechtild, having being manipulating the royal family of this tiny northern land for years now, as she’d watched from afar as the ghost of a king had risen to torment his princeling of a son, arrives to find that, having forgotten the moon’s cycle, she’ll be surrounded by a pack of tiny deer mice in the place of her humans.
Observing them, she finds surprises in store, for the tiniest of the weremice, Ophelia, seems intent on changing the rhythms of her life.

Summary
Series of missing scenes
The news comes in the form of a knock on the door. Of downcast eyes, a solemn face, wringing hands. A quiet, concise explanation of what happened, why her father is lying by the stairs at this very moment, eyes unblinking and heart still. Why there is blood under Hamlet’s fingernails.
Ophelia would not say she takes it well.
