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.
