Summary
“Take me back, Horatio.” A near whisper. The plea of a man teetering on the edge of ruin. Hearing it was a blow to Horatio's heart.
Rubbing his thumb up and down his knee in a soothing motion, he asked, quietly, “Back?”
“Back to Wittenberg. Back to those days when it was just the two of us in the whole world. When no-one and nothing else mattered. Take me back to that time before my father's untimely demise, before this whole godforsaken scandal! O, take me back, dear God, take me back."

Or, Hamlet finally gets the comfort he so desperately needs.

Summary
And it had been good, what you had, trekking back to Elsinore together. Late nights and candles and the tucking of hair behind ears, brown eyes and blue eyes and not a prince at all but someone new who made their home in your heart. And his gaze had stayed soft in a way nobody else’s had ever done before, and you sometimes just sat shoulder-to-shoulder in silence and watched the sheep graze on the islands, and a new companionship grew between you, something well-worn and familiar.
But then the message had arrived, or maybe it was before that, when you started to see the shadows in the corners again and your father told you to hasten your pace, and everything started to fall apart in the same familiar way it once did- slowly at first and then all at once. And you watched as he grew distant, as his eyes turned soft with affection to cloudy with pity or despair or lost chances, and you turned towards what you always did and picked up the blade again.

The first time it happens is…enlightening, to say the least.
***
Horatio is used to Hamlet's moods and actions by now, or so he thinks. Hamlet breaks his normal patterns by leading Horatio back to his dorm after a day of studying, shortening the ever present distance between prince and scholar.

Summary
“Is something troubling you, my prince?”
Hamlet exhaled a huff of amusement, and without even looking up from his book, Horatio could tell Hamlet’s nose was crinkled up at the use of his title. Endearing, as always.
“You’ll stop that at once. You know better than to call me that in private.”
His tone implied annoyance, but Horatio knew better. The indignance was superficial at best, a complete facade at worst. It warmed Horatio to hear it.
“Do I?” Horatio continued. “If one walks like a prince, talks like a prince, even makes commands like a prince, what am I to call him?”
A beat.
“I’m sure you could think of something sweeter.”

Summary
He should have found solice in the belief that his sweet prince could never feel the same way as he did. How did it not burn him alive, knowing that the man to whom he'd dedicated the better part of his adulthood, the man he adored, who could theoretically love him just as hopelessly, did not? Horatio should have felt like weeping and rending his garments. And perhaps soon he would. But right then, the prince’s trembling words were everything he needed.
No matter how hard he tries to comfort Hamlet, Horatio can't help but worry that he's doing something wrong. It's hard to be a friend to somebody you're so in love with.

Summary
With a feverish meeting of lips initiated by the ever eager prince, the formalities are long gone, ripped away to leave both men bare and wanting. They are no longer prince and friend, Hamlet and Horatio; they are two halves of a whole — lovers, together once more in a reunion so great it rivals the collision of stars.
And yet, Horatio still worries.

Summary
After it all, Hamlet lies, dying. A cut on his wrist, this time, and his blood ploors torrentially as the poison makes its route through his body again. He throws the cup to the side, this time. He won’t let Horatio drink from it. Never.
Hamlet dies, surrounded by other dead, gazing up at Horatio’s pained face.
He'd hoped it would be different this time.

Summary
Hamlet died in pieces.
He gasped his last breath in Horatio’s arms, of course; clinging to his shirt, desperate lips mouthing his name. But he had begun to die months ago.
And Horatio had stood at his side and watched it happen.It was July. The butterfly blossoms were golden in the sunset, and Hamlet’s voice had not been heard in the halls of Elsinore for months.
But oh, God. Horatio heard him everywhere.The ghosts. The ghosts. They never stay quiet, do they?
