What hands are here?

[rootesie]

Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.

And that is the first time I've ever felt moved to quote Shakespeare in a comment to a fic!

*applauds and hugs you tight*

Wheeeeee! Shakespeare!
*grins* Well, as far as I know I never got high-lit featured in a comment so that's a shared first for us and such an appropriate quote too!

*blushes and huggles back*
Thank you! :D

It just kept popping into my mind as I was reading. It's one of my favourite Shakespeare scenes, and I wondered if you were consciously alluding to it or if it was just a coincidence!

Am now pondering writing crack!smut in iambic pentameter... XD

*more hugs for you!*

It's a pure coincidence I have to admit, unfortunately the only original English Shakespeare I read so far was Romeo and Juliet. I'm working on rectifying that though x3

crack!smut in iambic pentameter would be awesome!!! xD

*takes the hugs and smooches you*

PS: the dark!Ianto-CW fic I talked to you about is up :D

I must recommend Macbeth as a real favourite, then. But I love all the tragedies. The comedies don't seem to have aged so well...

I'll have to read that later, as dinner is nearly ready, but thanks for the tip!

Righties, my next Shakespeare is going to be MacBeth then ;)
