Summary
“I forgive you,” Boromir says, just as grave as the captain before him, accepting his demotion to knighthood with far more grace than most would afford a too-bold babe. “An’ I dub you Sir ‘Rongil, so you must help protect nana. ‘Cos you’ve a real sword an’ can cut down real foes, until I have one, too, and can protect her better.”
So saying, he drives the point of the sword into the ground, and turns to face Finduilas, legs trembling a little with the effort to hold himself back from bouncing.
“No fear. No harm. Not while we’re here. So swear I.”
“So swear I,” Thorongil intones, after the fashion of the knights of old. Boromir turns back to him, taking both his hands to wrap them about the hilt of the toy sword, and for one selfish moment Finduilas is glad her son no longer faces her, that he might not see the tears spilling from her eyes.

Long Nights and Lone Soldiers by Masked_Man_2

Summary
Just one night. Just one night alone, unseen, unasked for, unneeded. Just one night, when no one needed him to be strong, or cheerful, no one needed him to be anything at all, that he might break apart in peace, and piece himself back together with none the wiser once his hands grew steady again. Make himself whole again, that he might be of use. For broken pieces left only mess, and he had to clean up the mess. He could not, would not let the dream come to pass.
Just one night. Surely it was not so gross a sin, to not be strong for just one night.
A tale of nightmares, grief, and late-night conversations.

Measure Still for Measure by Ardent_Autumn, Masked_Man_2
Fandoms: SHAKESPEARE William - Works, Measure for Measure - Shakespeare
24 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
“Haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure; like doth quit like, and measure still for measure.”
Shakespeare’s play leaves us with several unresolved conflicts, such as Vincentio proposing marriage to Isabella (does she accept it or not?), Claudio dealing with the aftermath of his near-death experience, Angelo losing his title, etc. We, as readers, may well be prone to questioning precisely what the outcomes are. This work is our take on each of the conflicts.

Summary
"There was no one keeping track anymore. No one to count the years and months and days he’d lost to wandering the fog. Trying to find Seamie. Trying to find himself in Seamie, the bits of his self that Seamie had taken with him. Because Seamie wasn’t here. But he wasn’t anywhere else, either. And Tadhg couldn’t be if Seamie wasn’t."

Summary
Rodya is a student at a prestigious British university who is, in his second year, unravelling quite dramatically. When he receives an invitation from a mysterious secret society, he believes it may be his last chance to escape from his morbid ways. His best friend Mitya, thinks otherwise. Will their bond, unspokenly strong, survive Rodya's latest episodes, or will it fracture under the force of something greater than either of them could ever have expected?
Obviously, they are in love. I promise pining, drama and lots of fun. Enjoy ;)
