One of Shakespeare's greatest, but also bloodiest tragedies, was written around 1605 to 1606. Many have seen the story of Macbeth's murder and usurpation of the legitimate Scottish King Duncan as having obvious connection to contemporary issues regarding King James I (James VI of Scotland), and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. King James was particularly fascinated with witchcraft, so the appearance of the witches chanting "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" at the opening of the play seemed particularly topical, as was Macbeth's betrayal of Banquo, from whom James claimed direct descent.

The Ivory Daughter - Finnick x OC
"The poet, the king, and the soldier. Well," she sighed, "the soldier is dead, and the king's crown is killing her. All I can do is keep singing. But what can the poet do in the face of war?" "There's only one thing to do," Finnick said, "Win." [][][][][][][][] She had her hand on the bow. She could've killed him. Could've killed them both. Instead the whole world watched as Katniss Everdeen-the closest thing District 12 had to a Victor since Haymitch-had her throat slit by the ruthless beast from District 2. Upon the year of her sister's passing, Rowan Everdeen must find a way to keep her family alive in her sister's place. But as the Quell approaches, the odds seem less and less in her favor.

Days of the Dead Book 2: The Beggar's Tomb
Gideon Saint and Wales have had a year of peace since Kit Wren was condemned to the Beggar's Tomb. As for Kit? He's been falling for 300 years, and is about to be tasked with a new and dangerous quest in hope of salvation. An unexpected funeral is about to bring the English and Welsh royal families together in the wake of tragedy, otherwise known as the perfect moment for Kit to strike again. Gideon has the fight of his life ahead of him if he's to keep the peace and save his friends. In the end, he knows the answer to the mystery of Kit's power lies in the mysterious Beggar's Tomb. Dead people live. Living people die. Swords are described in loving detail, people are not. As always Henry V is here and he is fantastic despite being the primary antagonist. Magic, betrayal, murder attempts, dragons. It's situation normal in 1439. As always, this is historical revisionist fiction. It is book 2 in the 'Days of the Dead' Trilogy. Trigger/Content Warning: some profanity throughout. Mild innuendos. A main character's death is discussed at length. Troubled childhood/abuse is discussed. A character with autism is tortured by memories of being put in restraints. The final chapter contains extremely graphic violence and disturbing imagery that may be upsetting to some readers.Complete

FAILURE TO COMPLY ┃ f. odair
The day snow fell upon Victor's Village, everything changed. There was no excitement, no joy, only the cold stare of scrutinising eyes into a child's wounded soul. She was not the girl on fire. She could not set a nation ablaze. Calypso Silva only wanted to survive. But she, with her Capitol blood tainted by the districts, was the legacy so many had fought for. She would be the legacy that so many would die for. She was the rebirth of love, the death of hate. The death of him. - finnick odair x oc following the events of the 72nd hunger games (origins), catching fire, mockingjay pt.1, mockingjay pt.2.Complete
