This is amazing, and now I'm wondering why "your OTP does Shakespeare together" isn't a common fanfic trope. Wow. This was seriously delightful.

Because not all OTPs have particular history that makes them so unusually well suited, I suspect. Thank you so much, and Happy Holidays!

I AM INCOHERENT WITH GLEE. Basically a lot of keyboard smashing and flailing about and grinning at the screen; I can't help myself, I just can't. Crowley being persuaded away from bad nature programmes to go watch Aziraphale audition (The Tempest!!) but actually ending up reading opposite him-- SEND HELP, I'M DROWNING IN FEELS. \o/ This whole fic was utter perfection; characterization, dialogue, everything. <33

Wonderful job. :D

River Monsters is actually a pretty good show/series, but, mark my words, the piranhas episode will give you nightmares for a week if you ever see it...

Thank you, and Happy Holidays *hugs*

Your love of Shakespeare, and of these characters, comes through so beautifully in all of this. Excellent choice of play, scene, and roles that would resonate with Aziraphale and Crowley. Your writing exposed their emotions so subtly, but made me feel every one of them all the same. Well done.

The Tempest and Hamlet are my first loves as Shakespeare is concerned, and, fortunately, one of them slotted in extraordinarily well in this case.

Thank you so much for reading! <3

Ooh! Very enjoyable. I was enjoying the sweetness and the fun, and then - "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here" - that made me shiver. Mostly with delight, I think!

The scene seemed entirely too well-suited, as far as choosing something that could be played out between the two of them with maximum subtextual effect. Thank you so much for reading! <3
