This was amazing and brilliant and I was laughing so hard. Most memorable at the moment is America calling Shakespeare a 'bro.' I am so happy. Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening!

Anytime! Man, I'm just glad to see the kick other people are getting out of this. *grins*

Will and America are totally bros in this. They have such a rapport, and it's so fun to write.

Oh man oh god 16th-century drama douchebaggery yesssss. Somehow you always know just what I need to cheer up.

“He could speak the lines I have writ,” Will says, perfectly straightfaced. “A novel thought, to be sure.”

Best line.

(Did you realize that the section with America adjusting to his new employ reads almost exactly like a 90's sports movie montage? It is both uncanny and amazing.)

[puella_nerdii]

Anytime! ♥ I continue to marvel (in a good way) that other people get as much joy out of this as I do, but yay for it.

WILL IS SO INCREDIBLY SNARKY I love him. Just. Writing him is sort of a nonstop process of me going KYAAAAAAAAAAA~

(I referred to it in my head, and in the outline, as the eighties training montage. I was going to have America joke about precisely that, but I was like naaaaah, too meta.)

Not gonna lie.

I literally squealed when I saw an update. I have been checking for this religiously every day.

So happy the bickering duo is back together again. Shakespear took that surprisingly well.

This thing told from America's point of view is hilarious. And I have to admit that I was also going "oooh buuuurrrn" along with him during Will's part. >.>;;

YES. AMERICA THE ACTOR-RAPPER-GENERALFAIL! I lost it at him rapping. Laughed my arse off.

AND THE PLOT... well. If the plot thickens, I think it'll turn into a rock. It swirls? I can't wait for mooooooooore. D:

So glad you're done with your exams.

[puella_nerdii]

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm so glad it pleased!

And yeah, can't keep America and England separated for long. The dynamic's too damn much fun. *grins*

America-the-actor is one of those things that wasn't originally in my plans, but oh god once I came up with the idea, I couldn't NOT. Too damn much fun.

The plot shall indeed continue to swirl! But the next two chapters actually do reveal a lot, and there is Actiony Stuff in them, too!

SO AM I, jesus.

[galeaya]

YES. THIS.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting~

This is so cool. Every time America tries to talk Elizabethan, I start laughing. I bet that company is having so much fun with him. I loved every single part of this chapter. And I'm feeling pretty bad for poor Spenser too. I'm such a sap, it happened hundreds of years ago.

I cannot tell you how funny it is to imagine America being Bottom. Though I could've sworn he's supposed to be ugly.

(Also, when england gets all dizzy, shouldn't America be able to carry him by himself because of super strength and all?)

[puella_nerdii]

America's Failzabethan is slowly improving! But he'll be malapropping for a while to come, because it's so much more fun that way. And yeah, I think the company really does have a blast with him. (And hey, I feel pretty bad for Spenser, since what I am putting him through is technically more than what he had to endure in history, poor guy.)

Well, he's certainly ugly when he's an ass, but I don't think he's exceptionally ugly before then. Just clownish.

(Were England not nearly as tall as America and were America not going up a flight of stairs, yes. It's a lot harder to lift something that's almost as big as you are, especially going up stairs.)

[ellenel13]

I know it can't happen because of history and stuff, but I'm totally imagining Shakespeare basing a character on America's weird speech pattern. It's been forever since I studied some basic Shakespeare in high school English, but I think a huge part of his art was a play on words.

(That makes sense, but I was thinking since he could throw around a bison as a baby then a he would have no trouble as with just a grown man)

[puella_nerdii]

You're right, it was -- hell, he invented a nice chunk of words and sayings that have since entered the vernacular. And I like to think that his experience with America and England in this might've laid some of the seeds for The Tempest, but who knows?

(He's also not as concerned with where the bison lands, while I think he cares more about what happens to England...)
