Summary
Horatio’s story, from before the beginning until the very end.
A medium-velocity-burn journey through the fluff-to-angst pipeline with a loyal, nerdy, prickly, laconic, and gentle person as a guide.
Expect complex backstories, wild canon divergences, sexually charged character development, and classics as a coping mechanism.
I always wondered how exactly someone seemingly so well-adjusted and self-sufficient as Horatio becomes so blindly devoted to someone like Hamlet?

Summary
He can feel Hamlet’s bones, his ribcage, his—
Holy shit.
Horatio snaps upright, then presses his palm back to Hamlet’s chest. Two fingers to the side of his neck, then the base of each wrist. Horatio checks once twice thrice, his eyes widening. Because there, faint but certain through Hamlet’s skin, is a pulse.
Hamlet is alive.
(Hamlet lives, the tragedy continues, and Horatio picks up the pieces.)

Summary
Series of missing scenes
The news comes in the form of a knock on the door. Of downcast eyes, a solemn face, wringing hands. A quiet, concise explanation of what happened, why her father is lying by the stairs at this very moment, eyes unblinking and heart still. Why there is blood under Hamlet’s fingernails.
Ophelia would not say she takes it well.

Summary
“Did you pray?” Hamlet asked. He sounded hesitant.
“No,” said Horatio. “I don’t think there’s anyone to pray to, and I’m not partial to speaking into the air.”
“No,” agreed Hamlet. “Only madmen do that, I suppose.”

Summary
This cannot end with them all living happily ever after. This cannot even end with them all living.
Because once upon a time, there was an ending. Everyone knows that part: the ghost and the madness and the death, the deaths, his death. The antique roman, the sweet prince, the cracking heart.
There are no flights of angels, though, and the rest is not silence.
This is not a story, not anymore. This is what comes after.
(Ghosts, rooms, and a story that is not a story.)

Summary
You are devoted to your lord. You will do anything to be by his side, always. It is you who will weather his distemper, you who will be his confidant when visited by a great spectre, and you who will see him through his feigned madness.
You pray to the heavens you will get your lord out of this alive, for the court is full of vipers, and there’s something rotten in Denmark.
A second-person perspective of Hamlet from Horatio’s POV, retelling canon events with a focus on Horatio’s loyalty and devotion.

Summary
Hamlet died in pieces.
He gasped his last breath in Horatio’s arms, of course; clinging to his shirt, desperate lips mouthing his name. But he had begun to die months ago.
And Horatio had stood at his side and watched it happen.It was July. The butterfly blossoms were golden in the sunset, and Hamlet’s voice had not been heard in the halls of Elsinore for months.
But oh, God. Horatio heard him everywhere.The ghosts. The ghosts. They never stay quiet, do they?
