Hey, Rusty: here’s a small spot of life advice for you. You look like an idiot pondering love alone. Check your surroundings next time- someone may just see you.
I would recommend listening to “Never The Muse” by Madilyn May whilst reading this.

My Immortal (The Shakespeare Play) by LudacrisFool
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, My Immortal
04 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
"My Immortal: A Gothick Romance after Mistress 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.)
