Prompt: “Basically, hedonistic rock star AU. Richard II is Ziggy Stardust, Aumerle and Bolingbroke are members of his band. Lots of messianic imagery only to be brought down by his own fans turning on him and his ego.”
or, “If the downfall of Richard II was actually the breakup of a ‘70s glam rock band and everyone was gay and doing drugs.”

Summary
Jake English waking up sore and alone on a cold floor is not a strange occurrence for him as of late. The ethereal beam of light and sluggishly churning floor is new, but he's woken up in stranger places.
If circumstances were better he'd probably have something shocked and relevant to say about this strange landscape he's found himself in, but circumstances are in fact legendarily shit right now.
(A comic fic where Jake English gets rights)

Honey and roses by the_alchemist for Gileonnen
Fandoms: Richard II - Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 1 - Shakespeare, Bacchae - Euripides
19 Dec 2016
Tags
Summary
A few years into his reign, Henry IV is troubled to learn of mystic attracting followers to his revels in the Forest of Hainault. Some say he's a saint or prophet, others that he's a vision of Christ himself. Many have noticed that he resembles the old king, Richard II.
Prince Hal - always curious about the latest novelty - takes his friends to see, but his cynicism melts away in the presence of the charismatic, kingly figure, and so eventually does his sanity.
Henry must take action to restore order to his family and his kingdom, but what chance does order stand against this powerful and delicious chaos?
A reworking of Euripides' Bacchae in the world of medieval Christianity and Shakespeare's histories.
