MEME #1:
If you want me to make you an icon, comment here and I will make one based on one of your LJ interests. No, you don't get to pick which one. Artist's discretion!
MEME #2:
Give me a character or pairing (that I'm familiar with) and a word, and I will write you one line of fic here.
you heard the meme, lovelies~!

He wants to believe there is nothing in these touches, these murmurs, these looks -- but how is he to understand the mind of a king? -- He smiles politely and wonders when his lord will return.

Date: 2005-08-21 08:00 pm (UTC)horatio is gifted in both observation and denial, i think -- which takes quite a bit talent, when you think about it. oh well, claudius is so ded when hamlet gets back. XD XD XD

Date: 2005-08-21 08:30 pm (UTC)He is, I'm afraid, and talent or not it's only half-helping him. Also, *DIE* Yes.

Date: 2005-08-23 08:03 pm (UTC)Actually, Shakespeare in general needs therapy.

Date: 2005-08-24 06:53 pm (UTC)o yes, with a good therapist i think we could've dropped the entire plot of othello. XD (did i ever tell you iago is the evil horatio? ... 'cos he is.) shakespeareans go to group therapy sounds like the beginning of a beautiful crackfic -- that poor, poor therapist.

She watches as they put her in the ground. Her eyes are closed, her arms are crossed, her head is up and she drowns in flowers -- she drowns in dust, she drowns in prayer, in oaths, in tears, in sacrifice. It's the worst sort of drowning -- one you can't try to swim out of -- but she sees it all as something far away.
She tries to remember her Hamlet's eyes -- she thinks they were a soft calling kind of blue, like water when it wants you to jump.
His eyes are all flame, and like a father -- a king -- like something else entirely, he says nothing but holds her. She is lost in the earth, they are alone in the darkness.
They will not be alone for long.
