kerrypolka
Play: Henry IVs
Recipient:

likeadeuce
Characters: Kate Percy, Harry Percy, Doll Tearsheet, Prince Hal, Falstaff, Mrs Quickly, Pistol
Warnings: Swears (including misogynist ones)
Rating: R
Notes: Modern AU (City of London, Eastcheap)
Summary: That was the problem with working with Harry Percy. For some reason, within ten minutes of starting a conversation with him, Kate's brain short-circuited and she was always left either mouthing wordlessly or finding herself saying things like, "So you thought it would be a good idea to punch Mervyn King at the Budget announcement?"

( You couldn't really know where you were going, to get to the Boar's Head. )

Title: A Thousand Ships
Author:

likeadeuce
Play: Henry IV, Part I
Recipient:

speak_me_fair
Summary: It wasn't the first time you met her.
Word count: ~1350
Rating: PGish
Characters: Harry Percy/Kate Mortimer; a little Hal because he wouldn't shut up.
Warnings: Second person. Hotspur being Hotspur. Hal being Hal.
Notes: Canon-compliant, more or less. Obviously, Christopher Marlowe hadn't written about Helen yet, but it seemed like the kind of anachronism Shakespeare would approve of. I didn't do a very good job with the prompt specifics, but I hope this works for you anyway.

Title: And Follow Your Dreams Down
Author:

likeadeuce
Play:Henry IV, Part I, modern AU
Recipient:

roz_mcclure, who wanted Percies + unintended disasters, and who also digs Bruce Springsteen, jam sessions, and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Summary: Kate Mortimer, Harry Percy, various others, with a wee bit of gender swap.
Notes: Thanks to: friends to be named later, who know garage bands in general and the Carolina music scene in particular. Title and epigraph are from "No Surrender," by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band, which seems like a Hotspur song if there ever was one.

We busted out of class, had to get away from those fools/
We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school.

Title: Here's a Health to the Company
Author:

gileonnen
Play: Richard II, 1 Henry IV
Recipients:

faithhopetricks and

speak_me_fair
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Hal/Hotspur
Warnings: Wine, women, and ~~hatesex~~ song.
Rating: R for dodgy garment history, as well as Ennodius quotations and the illustration thereof.
Summary: In an abstract sense, Hal was aware that a prince ought to be present at his father's triumphal tournaments.
Notes: Written in response to Histories Ficathon Madness, in a fit of (what else?) madness. Intended purely for delight rather than education; sorry this was a trifle late.

Title: To pluck bright honor from the top of the world, Ma
Author:

roz_mcclure
Recipient:

gileonnen
Rating: 15 (for swears)
Pairings: Hotspur/Kate, kind of Hotspur/Douglas
Warnings: Guns and liquor
Summary: IF Hotspur were a police commander in the 1930s, AND also everyone in the story were genderswapped, THEN he might look like Katharine Hepburn, and anachronisms and tacked-on happy endings would probably abound.
Author's note: Shakespeare condensed characters from the history, and I've condensed characters from the Shakespeare! Another few rounds of this and Hotspur will be the only character in the entire story.

( It wasn't raining during the medal ceremony, for once, although the promise of it was heavy enough in the air to make Harriet's hair frizz under her blue cap. )

Title: The Base-String Of Humility
Author:

speak_me_fair
Recipient:

fuunsaiki
Play: Richard II/Henry IV, Part I.
Character(s): Hal, Poins, Henry IV, Hotspur, York.
Pairings: Hal/Poins
Rating/Warnings: Rated below an R, even with the slash. Set between Richard II and Henry IV part 1.
Summary: Hal's playing the game well, but he knows he's getting in over his head in more than one way…

( Hal sometimes thought that the one thing which could be said for having apartments of his own was that when, as occasionally and inevitably happened, he got a missive - a missile, a missive, it's the same thing, touches me where it hurts the most and leaves no mark because it makes no outward wound - from his father, he could have a fit of petulant, childish, uncontrollable temper involving every vaguely moveable object in the room, and there would be no-one who was brave or unwise enough to dare even to remark on it. )

Title: I Shall Find Time
Author:

gileonnen
Play: Richard II, Julius Caesar; would benefit from a knowledge of 1 Henry IV

elviaprose

Characters: Hal, Hotspur, Kate Percy
Warnings: Slash, threesome. Um, sex.
Rating: NC-17, for language and sex.

Title: Slovenly Unhandsome
Author:

gileonnen
Play: Richard II and 1 Henry IV
Recipient:

lite_bright
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Hotspur, Kate, Hal
Warnings: Historical AU
Rating: PG-13
Notes:

lite_bright's prompt was enticingly nonspecific, so I took a few ideas from it (student AU, unpleasant Hal, Percy Sr.) and ran away laughing. Hope that works for the recipient!
Summary: War is Hell; reconstruction is purgatory. Hotspur recuperates from World War II.

( After the war, Hotspur doesn't trot off to school like what mates he had could afford it--smacks to him of middle-class pretensions, and he's one to call a spade a spade. While everybody's lucky charm Prince Harry is nancing about in Cambridge or Oxford or wherever the fuck he went, Hotspur's helping to rebuild fucking Germany. )
