Summary
Here’s my confession: I don’t love my wife.
Confession’s probably the wrong word, though. Since it’s not like I can tell anyone. Everyone around here thinks we got our perfect miracle of a storybook ending, so maybe I’m the one who’s wrong for not wanting it. Maybe I deserve this. My happily ever after.
(All's Well That Ends Well from Bertram's POV, this time with 100% more necromancy)

Summary
Martius will bare his teeth, bloodied and red from the meat of the restless undead, and spit on the ground and say: “I will do what man is incapable of. I will be more than a man.”
Martius has been a vampire hunter as long as he can remember, and Aufidius has always been his prey.

Summary
"I have no intention of dying for Julius Caesar," Cassius says, because the nearly-imperceptible flinch that crosses Antony's face when she says that name is the closest she's gotten today to feeling anything resembling satisfaction.
Antony and Cassius confront each other. The stench of war follows them.

Summary
The wronged son who learns to change his face and embrace the chaos. The bastard who can bend people to his will with only a few words. It's King Lear, but the Gloucester bloodline carries more than just a noble title. Wild magic can only be tamed for so long, and getting by without it requires courting much darker forces to keep up.
Basically, the D&D-themed Gloucester boys AU I can't stop thinking about. Edgar is a Wild Magic Sorcerer and Edmund is a Warlock of the Archfey.
