Summary
Hamlet shudders in Horatio's arms, his low cry a blessing. The unseen linden-leaves shake, wild with wanting.
“Are you afraid?” Horatio gasps, his fingers fanned like wings in Hamlet's dark hair.
Hamlet nods, smile disarmed, pressing their foreheads together. “But what of that?”
It's then that Horatio knows his faith is branch and nest enough, whatever horrors may yet come to haunt them.

The Indifferent Children of The Earth by BloodLoveRhetoric
Fandoms: Hamlet - Shakespeare, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - Stoppard
31 Jul 2025

Summary
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Renaissance gentlemen, from their young days brought up together at the Danish royal court with the crown prince of Denmark. Now students, they’re enjoying themselves immensely at Wittenberg University – perhaps a little too much, their contemporaries might argue. Carefree bordering on careless. Indulging in food, drink, and – behind closed doors – each other.
Unfortunately, they will be summoned back to Elsinore, where the walls have ears and secrets can be fatal.This fic is about the characters in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but I’m also drawing from their extended characterization and dynamic in Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. So these are the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern who have to navigate court intrigue, not timeloop amnesia, but they still play questions.
Fair warning that these characters remain in their historic setting and will not have the vocabulary we have today to describe their actions and feelings.

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
After his father's wars and before his father's death there did exist a time and place when Prince Hamlet was happy.
[Amid a Hamlet discussion the question of "who was Hamlet fucking when?" was raised and I said "LET ME SHOW YOU MY HEADCANON. This is that. There's a lot of sex. What else are headcanons for?]

Summary
"That place ain’t for amateurs,” he warned. It should have been sealed off years ago, if you asked him. “It’s an unforgiving, muddy pit. It’ll swallow ya whole if ya underestimate it.”
“Speak for yourself, old man,” her boyfriend said around a belch, slamming his half-empty bottle onto the counter.
“Hamlet!”
“Oh, calm down, Ophelia. Don’t let some superstitious redneck scare you, I have everything under control.”

Pragmatism (that'll put a spoke in their wheel) by Psilent (HereThereBeFic)
Fandoms: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - Stoppard

Summary
"I reached for instinct, certain that it would be there, and it wasn't. Do you understand?"
It starts like this:
A sudden burst of pent up frustration, false confidence, and sheer desperation—a bold attempt to be bold and attempt—and a violent course correction, involving a startled horse.
It continues like this:
Two Elizabethans, scuffed and muddied, trudging across a courtyard at Elsinore. One of them is limping.

A Wittenberg story.

Summary
He didn’t let go of Guildenstern’s hand though.
It was like when they were kids again...before they were friends with the Crown Prince of Denmark, and therefore easy targets for those who liked to throw their status and power around.
Rosencrantz was an especially easy target.

They were trapped, weren't they? They must be. It made sense. Didn't it? If they could just remember where they were last, and why that might be important.

Summary
To Hamlet, Wittenberg is heaven on earth. It all works out rather well for him and he finds himself thinking that perhaps these will be the most carefree years of his life. Except then there is another thing, and it happens to Hamlet unexpectedly and mercilessly - that thing is namely: falling in love with Horatio.

Takes place in Wittenburg when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were schoolmates with Hamlet.
Kind of meta (first part takes place in a non-existent Hamlet/Horatio story). Italics indicate the text takes place in the fake Hamlet/Horatio fic. -

Summary
Gregor Samsa has a lot on his plate. He's trying to acclimate to the life of a civilized insect, stay on his mafia boss's good side, and hide the fact that he blew up the most important institution to the land of bureaucratic bugs. To make things worse, now he's accidentally re-befriended his former lover under the alias "Dac". At least his friend Leni believes it's possible to become human again.
