Summary
Why did this place always let in the lovesick ones? Why couldn't I run a guesthouse for normal, sensible people who paid in recognisable currency and didn't throw tantrums in my flowerbeds? Was that too much to ask for?
(Ariadne meets Dionysus. This is not the kind of thing one writes poems about.)

Summary
In an alternate medieval Europe, with an all-female church hierarchy, Elizabeth Woodville struggles to find safety for her daughters after the murder of her sons. She thinks she has powerful allies in the new Borgia pope, and in Cardinal Margaret Beaufort's secret 'Council of Women', but all is not what it seems.
And besides, her eldest daughter Bess is more interested in power than in safety, with devastating consequences.

Honey and roses by the_alchemist for Gileonnen

Summary
A few years into his reign, Henry IV is troubled to learn of mystic attracting followers to his revels in the Forest of Hainault. Some say he's a saint or prophet, others that he's a vision of Christ himself. Many have noticed that he resembles the old king, Richard II.
Prince Hal - always curious about the latest novelty - takes his friends to see, but his cynicism melts away in the presence of the charismatic, kingly figure, and so eventually does his sanity.
Henry must take action to restore order to his family and his kingdom, but what chance does order stand against this powerful and delicious chaos?
A reworking of Euripides' Bacchae in the world of medieval Christianity and Shakespeare's histories.
