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
This time, Rosencrantz is still in the bath when the Tragedians exit; in the absence of a compelling reason not to, Guildenstern joins him. Then there is the matter of the snake.

Summary
"Don't be fooled, Guil liked animals as much as the next person... It simply wasn't in the cards, not right now. Rosencrantz believed it very much was in the cards. Right now. As soon as possible."
Rosencrantz wants a kitten with all their heart. Guildenstern isn't so sure. But plans change, don't they?

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.

You...Forgot Your Keys by Geekygirl24

Summary
“I’ve always wanted to do that.” Rosencrantz was looking a little red in the face, a shy smile which turned to confusion and then sheer horror when Guildenstern gestured at the keys on the table.
“You...were about to forget your keys.” It was taking a while for his brain to kick back in.
Rosencrantz glanced between the keys and Guildenstern’s face for a moment, before grabbing the keys and booking it for the door, the loud BANG of it slamming, echoing around the apartment.

Summary
Is it just by accident that they've managed to make things change ? If at least just for this representation. Well, whatever freedom they've found, it's affecting the whole story and that just won't do...Well, I don't think they care really.
-
This came from my friend's idea of a fic where Ros and Guil are fully aware of the audience's presence and where they would interact with the audience. I am meant to rewrite this as I find it quite short but I would've felt bad to leave it sit in my notes until I found the motivation to change it the way I want to, so Ao3 gets to have the first draft of it until I decide to pick it up. Don't be fooled though, it is a complete plot, just not as long as I want it to be in the end. -

Summary
Had there always been a garden here ? Had they ever been allowed to go in it ? Well they were here regardless, so it must mean that they had a reason to be. A bit of talking couldn't hurt, and besides they were good at words, words were all they had to go on afterall.

First time writing these two. Having watched many different adaptations of the play (11, to be exact) in like three weeks (and also my friends BEGGING for contents of them), I was meant to write them a fic, sooner or later. I hope you enjoy it 🫶.(Title from Where We Belong by Shayfer James)
