    Summary

    "My Immortal: A Gothic Romance after Miss Rowlinges Harry Potter" was a play distributed in serial format via printed pamphlets on the streets of London from 1606 to 1607 by an author using the name of "Tara Gilesbie," although this is believed to be a pseudonym; questions of its true authorship persist to this day. A derivative of the immensely popular Harry Potter books and plays of the day, it was likely never performed; its scripts proved popular, yet only due to the immense ineptitude of its author. The complete work is presented here, including the marginal notes of the author.

    (Actually, it's just My Immortal written as if it were a play from Shakespeare's era. And boycott Harry Potter merch etc. to fight bigotry. First two chapters originally posted to Reddit.)

    Summary

    No living being exists within nor near the holy metropolis, not without the crippling emotion of despair for The Land Between’s devastation. Save for one.

    A Lord. An Elden Lord.

    Words piece together in their mind, floating and translucent as it whispers quietly, like a lullaby -
    “...passing flash… if the stars… command the fates of the gods… consumed… mere humans…”

    Fate...

    Fate?

    Summary

    “Here—” Eddie passed a piece of paper down the table, tossing it in front of Steve. “You’ll need a pencil.”

    The paper was yellow, thick like cardstock, and crinkled when he held it too tight. It was covered in boxes and fill-in-the-blanks with words Steve didn’t know. What was a patron deity? Or an alignment? Or a weapon of proficiency?

    Could he put down nail bat as a weapon of proficiency?

    “What do I do with this?” he asked blankly.

    Eddie laughed. It was a nice laugh, Steve thought. It didn’t sound like he was laughing at him, more like he was laughing with him. Like they were both in on the joke.

    ***

    Dustin drags Steve to a Hellfire session. Eddie is DMing, and Steve has a bit of an awakening.

    Summary

    Thy mind is sunder’d, thy flesh is bound by oaths, and thy heart belongeth unto him who claimeth passion as his own.

    He granteth thee promises of eternity, and each seemeth a solace—yet behind them lieth the price: thy freedom.

    Thou seekest thyself, yet findest but new chains, e’er more tightly entwining thee with him.

    In a world of blood, of dominion, and of grey morality, no saviours dwell—only pain and obsession from which thine eyes may ne’er turn away.

    And the voice of the Father whispereth in thy mind by night.

    This fic is conceived as a draft for a gothic novel that will later be rewritten into my own original setting and prepared for print.
    It’s inspired by the neo-gothic vibes of Lovecraft and Lukyanenko, and in terms of narration sometimes echoes Milton, Poe, Clark Ashton Smith, Anne Rice, and Clive Barker: pseudo-archaic language, body horror, psychological abuse, and religious motifs woven into a single story of dependence and cult.
    This is not the final version of the translation: I’m still polishing the style, rhythm, and wording, and I continue to revise even the chapters that are already published.

    Summary

    "I say unto you, what he hath done famously, he did
    it to that end: though soft-conscienced men can be
    content to say it was for his country he did it to
    please his mother and to be partly proud; which he
    is, even till the altitude of his virtue." -Coriolanus, Act 1.i

    An adapted and abridged version of Coriolanus, but it's about the Falconer's Rebellion and the bringing of Thjazi Fang to heel by the ever valorous Sir Julien Davinos.

    The text of Coriolanus is taken from MIT: https://shakespeare.mit.edu/coriolanus/full.html

    Summary

    It is the Gilded Æon. A fragile peace holds sway across the kingdoms of Eodra, as the King of Rholand calls forth the once-in-a-century Jubilee Tourney. From every realm knights muster at the City of Clari to test their mettle before the eyes of kings.

    Among them stands one who is no knight, but still a warrior and a man of duty: Erwan of Vidria, bound to compete in the greatest tournament of the age. Yet beneath iron and pageantry, darker games unfold. Rival princes clash for glory, mercenary hands move in secret, and the ambitions of nations ride as high as their banners.

    In the midst of it all: a masked champion, a princess’ hand, and an honourable man astride a monstrous horse.

    Summary

    Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Lawrence, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge, break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes… a pair of star-crossed lovers… take their life. Whose misadventured piteous overthrows, do with their death, bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love and the continuance of their parents' rage, which—but their children's end nought could remove—is now the traffic of our page. The which, if you patiently attend, what here shall miss… our toil shall strive to mend.

    — This is literally Romeo and Juliet, but... Supernatural. —
