Yuletide reveal!
I wrote the following stories:
The Owl and the Cuckoo -- Love's Labour's Lost gen, ensemble. 'You do the king my father too much wrong / And wrong the reputation of your name, / In so unseeming to confess receipt / Of that which hath so faithfully been paid.' From the shelter of a hermitage, the Queen of France sends her most trusted ladies to investigate an unpaid debt.
Victory at Sea -- Oglaf, Sandoval/Viking Raider; situation-based consent. The short, storied naval career of Sandoval of Xoan.
Giver of Wine -- Greek and Roman Mythology, Dionysos/Pentheus. The gods care little for temperance laws.
Recurring Dreams: Whispers of Immortality -- Echo Bazaar, gen, vivisection. You dream you're sitting on the edge of a long wooden table. Although a bright light shines from directly above you, the room is dimly lit. All around you, tiers rise up in a half-ellipse, their rails polished smooth by the press of many hands. They vanish into the darkness beyond your circle of light - you can't make out the ceiling or the walls.
Bestirred in Sleep -- 1 Henry IV, gen, Hotspur, Douglas, and Mortimer. The three of them have draped a tarpaulin over their bit of the trench--or what Archie calls a tarpaulin, although it's scarcely better than a thin cotton sheet worn translucent with cold sweat and the steady friction of night-tremors.
Wrapt in a Woman's Hide -- 3 Henry VI and Richard III, girl!Richard III/Edward of Lancaster and ensemble; canonical child brides. The youngest child of Richard of York is a daughter--and the women of York make good use of their marriages.
How Luther Laughed at the Devil -- Hamlet and Doctor Faustus, gen, ensemble. When a Wittenberg mathematics professor is possessed by a demon, there's only one man to whom Prince Hamlet can turn: the demonologist Doktor Faustus.
Bellflower and Hellebore -- Fairy tales, gen, the wolf, the witch; humans as prey. The year is 1829, and the world has little room in it for wolves.
The Complexion of the Sky -- Richard II, gen, Richard II. Richard II reads the new king's future in the stars.
North-Northwest -- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Echo Bazaar, gen, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The Melancholy Prince is mad north-northwest, but Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would take any direction out of Bugsby's Marshes.
What Normal People Do -- Community, Troy/Abed/Annie. Annie has put a lot of time and effort into being a normal person. Troy and Abed, not so much.

Side note: Love to acrossthefloors, speak_me_fair, measured_words, chaos_harmony, and snowynight/sinngrace for the fics I received!
