History FanficRecs / Hamlet

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexually explicit or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''Comments'': Do not let the all-lower-case title and summary use put you off, as this does not carry over into the work itself. This is truly inspired crackfic, as good an example as I've read in any fandom. Uproariously funny, loaded to the gills with in-jokes and very knowledgeable of the play (as well as making sly reference to ''Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead'' by Creator/TomStoppard), makes good use of unifying devices. Written in script format.

* ''Comments'': Owing as much to the closing scene of ''Romeo and Juliet'' as to the closing scene of ''Hamlet'', this fic has been described by its author as "600 words of crushing grief." They're not wrong, but they forget the bittersweet relief.

* ''Pairing(s)'': Hamlet/Horatio, past Hamlet/Ophelia, and otherworldly shades of Hamlet/Horatio/Ophelia, with secondary cast like Osric and Fortinbras, and random servants and soldiers around Elsinore (and abroad, like in Norway)

* ''Comments'': Owing as much to the closing scene of ''Romeo and Juliet'' as to the closing scene of ''Hamlet'', this fic has been described by its author as "600 words of crushing grief." They are not wrong, but they forget the strange sweetness and relief.

* ''Synopsis'': "You did love me once, my lord." - Act 3, Scene 2

* Recomended by {{Nothingtoseehere}}

* ''Pairings'': Laetes/Hamelt, Ophelia/Hamlet
* ''Comments'': Very effective horror-story look at Hamlet and Ophelia, as well as Ophlia's family in gerneral.

* Recomended by {{Nothingtoseehere}}

* ''Comments'': Despite the unlikely pairing, this is a very in-charcter fic- Hamlet is (possibly) mad, Rosencrantz doesn't know as much as he thinks, and their relationship was/is doomed from the moment Rosencrantz talked to Claudius.
