best befits the dark reviews
[Hungarian Operettszínház production as canon] "Romeo dreams airy dreams, as Mercutio dances and flirts with fire, and Benvolio is only poor, simple earth, loyal and steady, at once caught between them and too plain for either of them to truly notice." A coda to the kiss-chase scene after the Capulet ball. Mercutio/Benvolio, but everyone is in love with Romeo.

by some vile forfeit of untimely death reviews
[Hungarian Operettszínház production as canon] When Julia almost dies of the scarlet fever, young Tybalt makes a bargain with Death. It doesn't go quite how he hoped it would. This is technically a crossover with Elisabeth (also Hungarian production), but you don't really need to know canon.

Traitor or True reviews
It is not that Cunomor, Prince of the Seal People, wants to kill his only son: it is that he can see no other way. Warning: This story is not more graphically violent than the movie, but it is entirely about a father murdering his child, so I erred on the side of a higher rating.
