Shakespear Stories

Benoit Laurent arrived in America for one thing: academic excellence. As a rigorous, impeccably cynical Parisian, he sees the Hawthorne Summer Institute as a crucial step toward his future: a place for focused study, not friendly fanfare. From the aggressively cheerful welcome signs to the overwhelming optimism of his peers, he finds the entire American experience unserious, performative, and entirely beneath him. Bea Walker is the Institute's hyper-competent student mentor. She believes in efficiency, clarity, and the relentless pursuit of "possibility." She can manage a budget, coordinate a faculty, and run a three-week schedule without breaking a sweat. But Ben's icy detachment and moral judgment-which he uses to critique everything she stands for-instantly make her temper flare. They are oil and water, logic and feeling, Europe and America. But when fate forces them together on study groups and late-night projects, their quick-witted, cutting arguments ignite a dangerous spark. As the summer heats up, Ben and Bea must decide if their intense disdain is just resistance, or the only way two people this different know how to fall in love. Twelve weeks. One syllabus. Zero tolerance for feelings.

When the King of Denmark dies under suspicious circumstances, the royal court calls in an unlikely investigator: Lieutenant Columbo, a rumpled homicide detective from the LAPD who seems completely out of his depth among the scheming nobility of Elsinore Castle. Content warnings: Murder, suicide, family dysfunction, political corruption, existential crises, and at least one staged play that's designed to give a king a guilt-induced panic attack.

Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry.

JULIET CURTIS HATED SHAKESPEARE. She hated the guy from the moment she found out her mother named her after the starring lady in one of his tragic tales. She couldn't wrap her head around how something could take such a dark turn in just a few pages. It seemed unrealistic, purely a fantasy. Oh how wrong she was. Her own life would take a tragic turn just like the Shakespearean plays. There were no jousts, beheadings, or poison, but there was death and more than one. Most of them she had no involvement in, but one. Dallas Winston was dead because Juliet loved him and he loved her back. Dallas loved very little, but when he did he loved hard. It's what made his end so ill-fated, Juliet's just the same. Their tale was truly just another Shakespearean tragedy.

Would if there was something more powerful than the dragon flame.

This is a copy of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, with translations and explanations in the comments because Shakespeare had a fetish for making high schoolers who want to read his shit as miserable as possible in the process.

Basically where I let out my random energy and things I would like the world to know. CAUTION: Too many intakes of random jokes may result in LAUGHTER :D

Modern day and language and an au where each character at least have one brain cell brain cell unlike the play. This will focus on the relationship between Benvolio and Tybalt. The background will continue the story of Romeo and Juliet but will start to change drastically in chapter 2. Hope you enjoy. Note I am probably going to change the title a lot until I find one I like.

Benvolio - A Montague, Romeo's cousin, quiet, Verona's peacemaker Mercutio - Kinsman to the Prince, Romeo's friend, talkative, ready for a fight What will happen when two best friends start to feel an unusual and seemingly unexplainable liking for each other? (Based on the 2013 version)

I am starring in a play alongside Richard Madden. He breaks his ankle though and they find a replacement. His name is Taron Egerton and I'm worried he is not taking this as seriously as I am. The play we're in is Romeo & Juliet. Where will that lead us? Will eventually contain smut.
