Summary: Two Elizabethan actors dream of leaving women's roles behind, and Master Sherlock Holmes agrees to help them find them a playwright to write them roles to rival Marlowe's Tamburlaine. But strange things are afoot in the Holmes household, and Sherlock and John must accomplish this feat while discovering who wants to kill Sherlock and why.
Author’s Note: Though this AU is set in Tudor England, I have chosen not to tax your patience or my sanity by writing in period language. I have done my utmost to avoid anachronisms where they would affect the plot, while preserving some of the language’s flavour. It's my fervent hope that you will enjoy this Elizabethan adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it. But...

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream.
