Welcome to Lit's own "Globe Theater." On our stage, you will witness (through a bit of artistic license on each author's part) various erotic scenes that we feel may have been "omitted" from Shakespeare's original plays. We hope you enjoy!
This story contains a male-male sexual encounter. If such things offend, please read another story.

A slight and androgynous figure takes stage center. His green skin glows, not sickly, as one would expect, but ethereally. Hasty glances over his shoulder belie the boldness of his steps. Literally running into a nymph, he pulls back for a second, or perhaps he was just catching his balance.
"Nymph, who keeps sylvan's balance bright
What mischief do you upon this night?"
The lithe and buxom creature looks upon the green visage and giggles melodiously. Her ample boson jiggles tantalizingly as she stands upright. Shaking her long auburn hair from her waist, she speaks cautiously:
"Mischief, Spirit, do you know whom you ask?
For an eternity I've kept my task.
Though your face is changed nearly every day
I know you, third amongst all the fae
Oberon's arm is no closer to him
Than you, fair Puck, who leads mortals to sin."
Hopping a branch with casual flair, Puck spreads his arms with secrets to share.
"Think you mischief to mortals I only bring
Far wider I plot to capture our king.
Whilst you were a seedling such honour I bore
His love to me, our Lord Oberon swore.
For a moment in time came Bridgette fair
Then she found death, which all mortals share.
To me again handsome Oberon crept,
I held him close, upon my bosom he wept.
Then Titania caught his fickle eye
Again I wait as time slows and ceases to fly.
Between the two I shall wedge, my cruel hoax
Into my bed Oberon, I again shall coax."
The autumn colored nymph looks aghast at Puck. To trick mortals is amusing and fun, but to deceive Lord Oberon is just unimaginable and immoral. Surely Puck's wickedness would beget foul tidings. Her auburn tresses stream away from her naked body as she runs from Puck muttering about his doom.
Puck's features mist and melt. Standing in the place of the hobgoblin is a dark skinned, muscular Athenian youth, whose eyes are deep wells as dark as the ripest of olives. As the youth moves, his muscles flex and ripple under his skin.
"Oberon's eyes cannot be held for long
By Queen Titania whose beauty is far gone,
But this mortal with the strength of youth
