Oh, this is beautiful - a lovely take on the prompt! And I agree that "I fear God mixed me too well with Sebastian" is a perfect way to put it.

I loved the mingled complexity and simplicity of this story, the way that Orsino and Cesario/Viola quietly negotiate a way to live their lives which satisfies them both.

*flail!* My favorite Shakespeare play ever, and this was such a lovely addendum to it! Great job with the language, too- you got a perfect balance that wasn't out of character or difficult to understand, which I think is one of the biggest challenges with Shakespeare fic. And the Antonio shoutout, yay!
