You're so sweet. Thanks for the beta, especially because I know you had writing deadlines of your own.

oh.

my fucking GOD. I cant even TELL you how much I absolutely freaking LOVE this. I LOVE THIS SO FREAKING MUCH OMG.

This is just - all I ever wanted! A Geoffrey fic, showing just how crazy and beautiful and insane and fucked up and CRAZY he is, and omg, you did that PERFECTLY. The writing in this is amazing, and it's things like this:

"'By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!'" (Geoffrey Tennant, Hamlet, director, Oliver Wells, Hamlet, Oliver Wells, Hamlet, Geoffrey, Oliver, Ellen, Oliver, oliveroliveroliveroliveroliveraaaaaaaaaaaaaa--)

that literally had me SQEUALING in glee. The entire conversation at the end (which is the beginning which is fucking BRILLIANT) with the phone call with Ellen and the voices and just - EVERYTHING about this is more perfect than I ever could have imagined.

My god. Whoever you are I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, and I love this fic beyond the telling of it.

*twirls you*

THANK YOU!!
