The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Iulius Cæsar) is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship. Cover by the wonderful @SaadSohail_.

Shakespeare's Sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.

When Ross leaves to confront Elizabeth, how I think Demelza would have really reacted to "get out of my way"... and thus if Ross' decision was completely different that fateful night... Ross and Demelza fluff! Twist in events, and how damaging ross' selfishness had been, can they mend back together through the storm? (Alternative to his adulterous ways and the subsequent retaliation that Demelza made. ) Enjoy, first proper fanfic 😄 mainly for my own joy of writing , but if it brings joy to others I'm happy about that too!

Poldark alternative ending to series 2. A short fic of 2-3 chapters that will fill the gap between the last two scenes with Ross and Demelza in episode 10, series 2. Just how did Ross persuade her to stay? What did they say and what were their thoughts? And after months of no physical contact, how did that go down! Rated for later chapters.

He finally mustered up the courage to walk over to the strange girl. Of course she didn't notice him as she was too fascinated by the ladybug sitting upon her forefinger. "Hi." Finn breathed causing the girl to look up, not all too surprised. "Hi." She replies with a small, hardly noticeable smile - In a town too small to be on the map there are two very different people who form an unlikely bond. How long will these two refuse the fact that they aren't just friends? fadie au
