This is link!anon here, who just couldn't resist writing something for this. She begs OP's pardon for any historical inaccuracies that may have occurred. There will be an explanation of the setting and historical notes at the end, including link!anon's excuses for the liberties taken with them all, especially the good queen. Also, this is the second fic this anon has ever written. Be gentle, anons?[Scene: Whitehall palace, a winter's evening, 1601

“…Let us impart what we have seen tonight unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life, this spirit, dumb to us, will-”“Arthur! Sir Kirkland! England!” the Queen’s greying red curls bobbed in irritation

William broke off when Arthur abruptly dropped to one knee before him, and grabbed William’s hand in both of his own. “I am thanking you, my good man, for your country. You are still wondering who I am, I can tell, and I will answer you that: I am England. All of it, the good and the bad, the city and the country, the noble and the poor. I embody it in entirety. I was born long ago, before Rome’s legions claimed me as Britannia. I have lived through countless invasions and wars and plagues and upheavals since, and always my tongue has been changing, always shifting with the influence of my invaders. My children have always had writers among them, many of great talent and repute, but none yet have done me such homage as you have done. I am your Nation, William Shake-speare, and I am on my knees before you making you a promise: your work shall not be forgotten

writer!anon fails hardcore at titling, sorry. T____T;
I hope this is what OP wanted. I'm also fairly sure I butchered Shakespeare as a character (not to mention England.). Sorry, all!
-------- Historical Notes: Queen Elizabeth I (The Virgin Queen) was ruler of England for 45 years, until her death in 1603 at the age of 70. Her reign was known as a time of growth in the arts, especially Theatre

Anon I... I found this to be beautiful. I'm not sure my mind can currently come up with any other words to describe it well. You did a wonderful job, anon! I loved it and am not only bookmarking it, but printing it out so I won't lose it to the depths of the internet.
Why isn't there more SHAKESPEARE on this meme?! This Shakespeare nerd wishes there were more fills like THIS out there.

writer!anon would like to note that she has de-anoned this one and posted some art to go with it, and shakespeare-appreciating anon could probably find it with some creative googling, if anon was interested. :D
