Shakespeare AU in Dublin.
Is it niche? Yes.
Is it stupid? Yes.
Is it the greatest thing you'll read today? Probably not.
But is it fun for me? Of course. So I'm subjecting the rest of the world to it too.
So far we've got D4 King Lear and Portal Lovers Romeo and Juliet. More to come.
#king lear#romeo and juliet#archive of our own#modern au#trust the process#it's going to be great#I'm a creative genius#read it#If you have nothing better to do today#And I know you don't#Bc you're on tumblr#like a loser

King Lear Modern AU
Picture this: A King Lear retelling set in modern day Ireland. (Dublin and Donegal mainly).
Lear is a South Dublin yoga mummy who runs a pyramid scheme.
Gloucester is a tennis player with a heavy reliance on Facebook.
Goneril loves her Lululemon because she likes to look hot when scheming and Regan has a love for fake tan.
Cordelia is chilling in boarding school in Donegal with her Gaeltacht boyfriend.
Edgar has to disguise himself as an inner city Dublin roadman.
Edmund wants to take over the pyramid scheme.
Kent got fired lol.
This has been a pitch for my story on A03: Which Of You Shall We Say Doth Love Us Most. Three chapters out today.
#king lear#shakespeare#modern au#Edgar and Edmund#goneril and regan#And cordelia#As Canon compliant as it can be#this is so stupid#but do you see my vision

So many. (I also included plays and poems)
got thoughtful about opinions on bad books so here’s an inverse: what’s a book you had to read for school that you actually enjoyed/have grown to like? mine is Lord of the Flies
#I thought I'd hate Romeo and Juliet#But I love it#King Lear slays#I also love Medea#she's so silly#the outsiders#to kill a mockingbird#I loved that actually#As for poems#dulce et decorum est#That one surprised me#We wear the mask#I hated of mice and men though#Like I despised it

what shakespeare character(s) did you latch onto? mine were hamlet and horatio bc i’m a mentally ill gay person
#Tybalt#My love#Gone too soon tbh#Like I too hate Romeo#Also does Patroclus count?#Bc I luv him#Can't forget my babes#Goneril and Regan#OK I can admit those two actually did something wrong#but like come on#And you know what#I'll throw in Edgar too#He's a sweetie
