There is nothing better than a cheese tour through time and space except. . .

It's cover reveal day for @ellebeaumontbooks & I's first co-author project Benvolio & Mercutio Turn Back time!

BLURB:

Verona has 99 problems—including a time machine.

All Benvolio has ever desired is a peaceful life alongside his spirited—albeit quarrelsome—roommate, Mercutio. But as the story goes, the course of true love never did run smooth, and when tensions between the Montagues and the Capulets reach a boiling point, Benvolio and Mercutio are dragged into the mess Romeo makes of all their lives.

Then an older version of Benvolio crashes into their lives, offering the opportunity to change fate, Mercutio does as he always does—seizes the chance. There's just one problem: no deal is without strings, and this one involves a deadly secret that Mercutio is determined to take to the grave.

What follows is a lively adventure through the ages, replete with love and heartache. Amidst the chaos, this inseparable duo will unravel the true depth of their friendship.

A riotous romp of a retelling of Romeo & Juliet. Side effects of reading may contain laughter, heartache, and a need for more. This light, sci-fi fantasy is the perfect shelf companion to The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian, Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall, and The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles.

Publication day: July 31, 2024

Genre: Adult Sci-fi Fantasy Romcom

Tropes: Friends to Lovers, time travel, retelling, and they were roommates, deal with the devil

Curious about y’all’s queer R&J takes:

#personally I am a Benvolio & Mercutio were deeply in love girlie #which is partially why the Jessie Buckley version is my favorite #shakespeare #william shakespeare #romeo and juliet #mercutio x benvolio #mercutio

[spindlesaurus-rex]

I want a version of Romeo and Juliet where the Prince goes fucking OFF in his speech after Mercutio’s death.

I want a Benvolio who is weeping as he explains what’s happened, who is trying to hide his

I want actors who take the general iambic regularity of Benvolio’s speech and the slightly less regular metre of Prince’s pronouncement as evidence of the attempt at controlled performance but who just jump on the Caesurae of lines like ‘who, all as hot, turns deadly point on point’ or the messiness of ‘of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt fled’ if they’re Benvolio and then contrast that with the insane regularity of ‘this is the truth or let Benvolio die.’

And I want a prince who fucking jumps to finish that half line of Montague’s with ‘and for that offense/ immediately we do exile him hence’ and then loses it for the next two lines which cannot be contained by metre but are balanced in rhyme.

I’ve just always loved the way the Prince’s speech juxtaposes the ‘hearts’ proceedings’ of the feud with ‘my blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding’ and the way he cannot speak of Mercutio but personally, the way he speaks of the feud as the proceedings of their heart but of Mercutio as his blood, essential to himself.

Also Mercutio and Benvolio should kiss and I will say more about that if anyone literally looks in my direction.

[maybeonedayillfindout]

thinking about productions of shakespeare plays where there is exactly one character who knows theyre in a play. benvolio with his "we talk here in the public haunt of men .. here all eyes gaze on us" right before mercutio dies. he knows something is wrong before it happens, and when it does happen he knows only worse will come, so he disappears. he stayed only to try to save mercutio, and he couldnt, so he leaves. he survives the play. the same with horatio, often the voice of reason, staying only to save hamlet from his fate. in the end he is, as is benvolio, alone. but he survives. in a way the plays are about them. in a way this is their story. the only ones alive to tell it

#i know a popular interpretation is that hamlet is the one who knows. but idk something about horatio having to watch as it all goes to shit #hamlet #shakespeare #romeo and juliet #mercutio x benvolio #horatio #maybe/elias' fantastic new thoughts

Quand Mercutio nous chantait "la vie est belle" Moi, j'y croyais...

This one goes out to the absolutely wild hairstyle choices they subjected Cyril Niccolai to during the 2010 revival.

Juliet: What are you getting Benvolio for the holidays?

Mercutio: I don't know. It's kind of hard buying a gift for your partner when they already got everything they could've ever wanted when they married you. So I'm not sure yet.

Romeo: I'm getting Benvolio a divorce lawyer.
