I'm not usually a fan of AU's, but I really enjoyed this! The idea is so clever and well-executed, and I really like your writing style. (Plus, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Hamlet/Laertes!) Thanks for the lovely read. :)

Aw, thanks -- this was a bit of a rush job on my part, but I had fun with it, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! My recipient requested horror AU, and I've always been a fan of the creepy gothic manor trope, so I kind of just ran with that. :D

Merci beaucoup! I'm flattered that you like. :D

Ahahaha, that show will always have a special place in my heart. And it's okay, no one can blame you for finding Laertes sexy, because everyone who reads/watches that play finds Laertes sexy.

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE FAKE BIG BROTHER, MADI. ♥

Oh, this is really fantastic! I love your prose, and how haunted everything is, and how poor Ophelia tries to display agency. The descriptions are gorgeous and hot, too. Lovely work.

Eeee, thank you so much! I have a special place in my heart for Ophelia and her tricky relationship with agency, since I played her once, back in my theatre kid days. Good times!

P.S. So much love for your icon. Eeeee siblings! ♥

I wish I could find an iconic picture of Laertes and Ophelia to complete the set of pompous/crazy siblings!
