    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.

    Ambrosia Vours is in her last year of high-school. She's in the top ten students at Stonecrest High and her social life is pretty average. Things changed, months ago, when the school's resident bad boy stole her heart- and then crushed it. Brosia deals with the pain while trying to struggle through classes. If her grades slip, she can't get into a University in the city and leave her annoyingly small hometown behind, so she kicks it into gear... but when a new guy moves to town and catches her eye, the shit hits the proverbial fan. A sweet love story that questions 'love at first sight'; set in modern times with hints of a Cinderella story-line. Shakespearean quotes from several plays and sonnets are intertwined within the story as well, but I can provide any translations (if needed, leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP). Other quotes from a wide variety of literature may be mentioned and/or quoted too.

    Teddy Potter grew up with secrets shrouding him like a cloak. Forcing to hide the identity of his father, Regulus Black, Teddy begins his first year at Hogwarts, desperate to finally meet his cousin: Harry Potter. As our story unfolds, however, Teddy's secrets begin to feel less like protection and more like suffocation, burrowing trenches between himself and those who don't know the identity and continued survival of his father. In the midst of the chaos of his family life, however, Teddy also possesses a growing power which, if properly honed, could turn the tide of the war, a potential only Dumbledore seems to see. Weighed down with his own secrets, Teddy fights to preserve his friend group: Cornelius Fudge II: Cory to anyone other than his father, spends his time not at school crushed under the weight of his father's impossible standards, fighting for some semblance of agency in the midst of a delicate political game in which his father expects him to be his loyal foot soldier. Iolanthe Zabini: Beautiful, enchanting, and witty, Iolanthe has always been reduced to her mother's copy, just as likely to doom a man to death in order to achieve her own financial security. But could there be more to this vivacious slytherin girl? Clara: With a past nearly as hidden as Teddy's, Clara is the heart of the group, kind, eccentric, and perceptive, she hides a deep, personal pain, which only a few ever get to truly see. Follow along to experience growth, love, friendship, and eventually romance with these characters who have already stolen this poor author's heart.

    Romeo attends the Capulet Masquerade unbeknown to the guests. Overcome by the merriment and revelry, Mercutio catches his eye. This Fanfic features almost the full cast of Romeo and Juliet and centres around RomeoxMercrutio and JulietxRosaline. There is quite a bit of angst and NO HAPPY ENDING so please, if you don't want a depressing (and fruity) ending to the famous tragedy this fic may not be for you. Thank you for reading!

    At 21, Sir Megumi is young to be a Knight Banneret, tasked with commanding a troop of men older than himself. Thanks to his Father Lord Satoru's wealth and position, he was considered favorably for the job. Megumi is disciplined, not having time to argue with the Knight-Elect Sir Yuuji. Yuuji is a commoner who was mysteriously thrust into their world at just 19 years old. He seemingly appeared out of thin air, something oddly familiar about his wild, pink mane. Lord Satoru is the powerful Duke of Midsummer and an accomplished knight. Nobody knows for certain, but it is rumored he once loved The Broken Knight. They say it was a whirlwind affair, cut short by an arranged marriage. Arranged marriages aren't uncommon, with Sir Megumi being set to marry Princess Hana. He doesn't love her, but he took an oath to do exactly as the king commanded. He didn't intend to break his oath, but these things never consider your intentions when they take hold of you.

What if Romeo and Juliet wasn't just an insta love story? What if it had a real beginning and perhaps a real end? "If loving you is a sin, I accept the punishment." He says with utter sincerity. "And if losing you is the risk, I'll resist my affection." I reply. Meet Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet,the children of two family who hate each other deep within their hearts. But unlike the original Shakespeare's version, this one has a plot twist.

    This is the start of an ending-just another Romeo and Juliet Love Story riding on a roller coaster ride where the finale is a tragic crash. This is how we fell in love, and ripped our hearts into tiny little pieces. And this is how I started my Taylor Swift song, with a guy who would change his mind in the end.

    Just a bunch of fictional diary entries I came up with because i was bored lol ! Very Victorian-style prose and vocabulary A/N: This piece is stylistically inspired by older literary English rather than written as a strict historical or linguistic recreation of any one period. It's a creative exercise focused on voice and mood, not accuracy. Cover: Pinterest
