"Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart" by Aris Merquoni
So here's a Shakespeare rec from yours truly, hopefully I'll remember to do these a couple times a week now.
Fandom Category: Richard II/The Hollow Crown
Pairing/Characters: Henry IV/Richard II, Aumerle/Richard II
Length: 3011 words
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read: Richard/Henry is a doomed ship within the confines of the canon, and as I have many ships that are similarly doomed, every once in a while, I just want to read something where people survive at the end and are happily ever after. This fic uses the trope of soulbonding to great effect and with no small helping of humour (and a shipper on deck). The way it fits with the canon and explains a lot of things is lovely. It is a somewhat cracky piece but there is real emotion underneath, and the resolution left me smiling.
Soulbonds between men and women are the most romantic form of marriage in the known world. Soulbonds between men and men make bards and poets salivate with the prospect of terrible, epic tragedy. Richard and Henry think that bards and poets are assholes.
