    Summary

    He can feel Hamlet’s bones, his ribcage, his—

    Holy shit.

    Horatio snaps upright, then presses his palm back to Hamlet’s chest. Two fingers to the side of his neck, then the base of each wrist. Horatio checks once twice thrice, his eyes widening. Because there, faint but certain through Hamlet’s skin, is a pulse.

    Hamlet is alive.

     

    (Hamlet lives, the tragedy continues, and Horatio picks up the pieces.)

    Summary

    “Laertes: (clearly speaking from personal experience) He’s a really bad boyfriend! He says he loves you but he doesn’t! He’s just basically flirting and his romantic affection never lasts more than a minute! Just--be careful.”
