A very short scene between Juliet and Paris, taking place after the events of 3.1 and after it's decided that they will marry. I wrote this entirely out of anger and disappointment at the fact that it is never acknowledged that Paris and Mercutio are related (since they're both kinsmen of the prince). Paris has just lost a family member here. I want to see a reaction.

Mercutio is hopeless at romance, Romeo is a useless heterosexual, and Benvolio is too innocent and honest to know how to take a hint. Modern AU. Benvolio/Mercutio. Written for a prompt on Tumblr.

The philosophy professor is sick. Class is cancelled. Hamlet is a whiny prince and Horatio knows exactly how to deal with him.
