AAAAAAAAAAAAh
Twelfth Night fic <3

Nice piece of work!
I...
I'm really trying to give some deep insight, but right now I can't, so I hope you'll forgive me and take my word that I loved it.

Thank you! Your comment is much appreciated.

Things I love about this:

Olivia itches for the old Viola, that could make an epic verse out of a teacup if she were so inclined.

“Orsino. Did it mend him?” because omg so sad!

The troublesome part of her isn’t quite silent; it wants to push Viola away, ask what she thinks she’s doing. because this line is somehow exactly 100% nail-on-the-head perfect.

“Going away didn’t change a thing,” she says, her voice so mousy that it’s barely audible, like if she said it any louder some part of her might break with the weight of her words.

Oh, my heart breaks for all of them being apart and married to the wrong people and hundreds of miles away from each other! Natalie, you meanie. This is excellent.

I'm going to give you my stuff now, because I've got to that "this is finished, by which I mean it's still flawed, but I'm never going to be able to fix it" stage. Would you rather have the Much Ado or the Macbeth first?

Thank you for being so nice! I know this is tremendously flawed, but I was determined to both write it and get it up in a day, because if I didn't I would obsess over it way too much and it would never go up at all (kind of like what's happening with the one I owe you, actually, but that will be done eventually! I am quite determined).

You icon: I hearts it.

Much Ado, plz, because I'm currently writing about a tragedy (Othello) and there is only so much woe a girl can take before lunch. And thank you, too. I can't wait to read it. =P

This is really intended to be my "I am totally in love with the wrong person" icon, but it fits the bill for a Shakespeare icon, as well, so hurrah.
