Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

by orphan_account

Nigel is exhausted and Will brings him to bed.(Probably the most unrelated to the winter theme of this series, but why not? It's still fluffy!)

Darling, You Mean The World To Me

by shaking_it_for_shakespeare (orphan_account)

This is a fic loosely based off "I Suck" a song cut from Something Rotten. I highly suggest listening to it- also "Word's you never heard" is also amazing.I wrote this and I thought this fandom was dead- but apparently not! Fun times I guess-

The Way He Says

by danealighieri

Wil—I… Shakespeare! His old friend, his idol! It was really…! “Oh… hoh, Hello…! Nigel!” He said through heavy breaths, and Nigel could’ve sworn that he was even holding back the urge to lean forward and rest his arms on his knees. “Funny… whew—funny seeing you… here!” “Wh… Wi… Shakespeare…!” He struggled through his words, grinning like mad. It didn’t even matter anymore, almost nothing mattered to him apart from this moment…! “Ah yes, yeah, I.. me.” He still breathed heavily, trying to recover, flipping his stupidly perfect hair. “Yes! Nigel! Fancy meeting you here, what a complete and utter coincidence!”---This is a fic dedicated to answering the question "Why does Nigel call Shakespeare 'Will' after To Thine Own Self'?". Namely, this was asked by a commentor, Eva S! If you're seeing this, thanks so much! You really kickstarted my inspiration, haha. This fic is still an extension to my AU in All The World's a Stage, so make sure to read that too!

Experimental AU

by MostWeakHamlets

So... this is an AU where Nigel was born paralyzed due to spina bifida and idk how I had this idea but here it is. Other fic ideas I had for this AU are not focused so much on his disability, but I thought this would be a good intro fic. I’d appreciate feedback. This AU is very undeveloped, and I’m not sure if it something that would be worth continuing. This fic is about Nigel's first day working in the theatre.

Star Crossed Lovers

by McRaider

Nigel knows he’s generally viewed as the weaker of the Bottom brothers. He’s the soft, more sensitive, quiet one who has always needed Nick. What he doesn’t realize, what they don’t realize is just how bad Nick really does need them.
