Summary
Ophelia Polonius gets very anxious when her boyfriend of two years, Hamlet Denmark, doesn't show up to her 18th birthday, and she spirals in the middle of her party.
An Ophelia-centric Modern AU based on Taylor Swift's song 'The Moment I Knew'. For non-Swifties, fear not! The vibe of the song inspired the fic, and there are a few lyric references that come from several albums, but they are subtle.

Summary
In late 1804, after Napoleon Bonaparte launches a campaign to seize the enchanted kingdoms of Europe and claim the magic of their fairy-tale rulers, the surviving kings, queens, princes, and princesses flee across the Channel to England. There, under the protection of Arthur Wellesley and the British Crown, an uneasy alliance is formed between the exiled Disney royals, the rulers of Equestria led by Supreme Princess Twilight Sparkle, and a host of legendary figures drawn from the worlds of Shakespeare. But while Napoleon seeks dominion over all enchanted power, an older evil moves in the shadows: Emperor Grogar, who has delivered the long-lost parents of Celestia and Luna into French custody. As war spreads across Europe, the coalition must not only halt an empire, but rescue the royal captives before the magic of crowns, kingdoms, and harmony is lost forever.

Summary
Years after their first meeting at Wittenberg, Hamlet lies awake beside Horatio in the quiet storm-lit chambers of Elsinore, reflecting on the strange, all-consuming love that has bound them together for over a decade. His mind drifts back to their university days: cramped twin beds and the terrifying tenderness of falling in love for the very first time.
A melancholic friends-to-lovers story about forbidden love and the rare comfort of being truly known.

Summary
A modern AU Hamlet set in a contemporary police precinct, following Horatio as he becomes entangled in the aftermath of Lieutenant Hamlet’s death and his son’s unraveling grief. It starts with a break-in at the precinct, and our characters are forced to confront questions of loyalty, truth, and perception as events spiral into tragedy.
I have never done a modern retelling of anything and I'm very much enjoying it. It follows the play's events to a fault (?? as in, I read the play and I take advantage of the dramaturgical storytelling), with a lot of tweaks to fit modern day context better. Hopefully this fic reaches someone seeing as the Hamlet fanfic writing fandom is sooo small guys come on let's write more Hamlet fanfics😔 I am procrastinating absolutely everything by writing this.

Summary
"What make you from Wittenberg?"
Horatio's first answer - "a truant disposition - was a silly one. When alone, Hamlet gives him a (consensual) schoolboy's caning, for a silly schoolboy lie.
The 2nd time, Horatio's answer still isn't serious, and Hamlet has a different punishment:
“You may fuck whom you like, while there, Women. Men. Your own hand, if you are so desperately overcome. Or, just watch." He looked at Horatio’s body, which was already half-prepared for another round of pleasure before the revels themselves even began. “Without so much as a touch. Not until I tell you.”
But this is a fairy tale love story, and by the time Horatio gets a 3rd chance to answer, he'll offer all his devotion, seriously.

Summary
Two months after the tragedy at Castle Elsinore, Horatio is left on his own, with no true friends by his side. Now appointed as Fortinbras's royal advisor, he's the most successful he's ever been. Yet his mind cannot get over the deceased crown prince of Denmark, whose death seems impossible to ignore. One night, though, Hamlet reappears in Horatio's life just as quickly as he left, and Horatio has to decide how to deal with the newly revived prince of Denmark.
(or, after the events of the play, Hamlet is brought back to life and can only trust Horatio in an Elsinore unfamiliar to the one he left)

Summary
Horatio intended to live a disciplined life. As a student of Lutheran theology, he was certain that reason could master any temptation.
But he did not account for Hamlet, a brilliant but irreverent prince who shook the foundations of his faith. From the sober lecture halls of Wittenberg to the corrupted royal court of Elsinore, Horatio remained at Hamlet’s side through sin, betrayal, and the unbearable weight of loving a man seemingly determined to destroy himself.
A secret love burns between the lines of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, fueled by devotion and tragedy.

Summary
(Set In Late Act 2/MAYBE Early Act 3)
Hamlet, much to his horror, awakens one morning to find himself in the body of his uncle Claudius—and also to find Rosencrantz and Guldenstern holding down a screaming and very angry "Hamlet" (Claudius).
How did this happen? How will Hamlet cope with living in the body of his father's murderer? Funny you ask... because he doesn't know that yet either. He's figuring it out.
They try to hide it and are successful for maybe like 10 minutes tops because they are both idiots who can't get along for any longer than that.

Summary
After Ophelia was found drowned in her family's swimming pool, her surviving relatives declare it is to be filled in with concrete. Horatio, watching the deterioration and eventual destruction of the place where his dear friend drowned, feels like he's attending yet another funeral.
(Author's note: So in Echoes, another Hamlet Modern AU fic I wrote, I briefly mentioned that Ophelia's house had a swimming pool. I thought about how tragic it would be if she drowned in that swimming pool, and then this happened. For the record, I see this story as vaguely connected to my previous fic, but not super strongly connected. Sort of like an AU of an AU, I guess? Basically you can see them as connected if you want, but you don't have to, and both works can be read as standalones, even though I'm marking them as a series.)

Summary
Clyde Logan ain't seen Ophelia Larsen in years, but he recognizes her when he stumbles across a video on a subscription platform. She doesn't show her face, but what she's wearing is unmistakable. He's not exactly sure how she came to possess his high school baseball jersey, but he don't hate the way she looks in it. Turns out she's moved back to Boone County...just in time for a "collaboration" with someone. Who the hell is this 'PRINTZ_of_denMark' anyway?
