Very sweet and a little sad at the same time. Brilliant characterisation. I loved it. =D

hi

[thisismsmercy]

holy god
This is honestly one of the nicest things I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Seriously, thankyou so much. It's kindof thrown me for six.

I'm so, so happy whenever anyone reads this and enjoys it- mainly because it's a really tiny fandom and I'm happy to make them happy. Glad you got most of the references, that was so insanely fun to do, ahaha <3

I never usually post anything I write because it's always for near-nonexistant fandoms and I don't see the point in posting, but thinking about it, that's pretty stupid. I'll go ahead and post anyway, just on the off-chance that somebody finds it and likes it. So thanks for that! :D

Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment, it really was incredibly sweet of you. If I do post any more RaGAD fic I'll gladly drop you a liine if you like<3

i'm really glad that my comment made you glad! (lol)

i myself am a sucker for rare pairings in tiny fandoms (it's a crying shame that there's so few fannish renderings of some really tension-charged stories out there). so, if you have some fiction up your sleeve on those, it would be awesome if you'd post them, really. also, i'll be following your account on archiveofourown, if you don't mind. and would be extremely grateful if you do give notice whenever you decide to write something in any fandom at all. :3 especially since we seem to share the love for Tim Roth, as i see from your works.

thanks again for great writing )

You are just an absolute darling!
I write a ton of stuff but half of it never gets finished. I mostly don't see the point if I'm not doing it for anyone in particular, that's my problem.
Tim Roth fan, eh? :D Which movies of his do you like? I might have something I can post for you haha :D I posted some Reservoir Dogs bits and pieces on here the other day, if you're interested. (I keep forgetting about AO3, maybe I should post it there. Huh.)
Thanks again for the lovely comment!

This is wonderful and circular and so completely in character it makes my chest hurt a bit on the inside (that's a good thing, I promise) I love this whole thing, from the allusions to myths to the guessing game they play while talking about more serious things. The banter between them is spot on and I could just go on and on.

Favorite lines:
The problem with this man, Guildenstern tells himself, is that he either thinks too much or refuses to think at all.

“Two flawed individuals coming together to create a functioning whole- that’s a marriage!” Agh, this entire section is so perfect, but especially this line about how perfect perfect they are. Jesus, I love you.

Rosencrantz’ mouth has lips that somehow, miraculously, still look soft despite the blistering cold that comes and goes.

They decide, in the end (with much deliberation but without much decision at all) to sleep together. It’s dark and very cold, and though there are only two of them, there is still safety in numbers.And I could keep going, but there are so many

Thankyou for making my entire week, that was such a lovely comment<3
I'm really, really glad you enjoyed it so much. It surprises me that people have read this, more so when they comment, and even more so when they're comments like yours.
Also, glad to hear all the circular stuff worked out- thanks! :D haha

I'm so glad I've made you happy!

I've been on a serious RaGAD kick for about a week now, and your story was just the cherry on top of the cake. I love the way you make them think.

Also, I just noticed this: but the sum of all his parts is a gilded star...They don’t dream. Oh, you slay me with your words! Of course they don't dream! With no memories, they could hardly have dreams, unless it is that the lack of dreams make them doubt their memories. I love it!

[thisismsmercy]

Have you read 'Dry Bones Can Harm No-One' by (little_lady_d)? That one was the cherry on top of the cake for me, totally amazing :)

Thankyou so much! I honestly thought nobody would read as much into it (all of it) as that, but you have! That feels so good XD

If you ever write anything for RaGAD you must let me know!

Argh, how I love R&G fanfic. It's such a shame it's a tiny fandom- it's such a beautifully sad and sweet plot, and they're so cute you just kind of want to...*pinches their cheeks*.
Anyway- thanks for your contribution! For some reason I just love the line "It's bold of him, to be so sentimental...". The whole circular, never-quite-finished nature of the play is recreated beautifully, and the same experimenting with memory and games and affection is just gorgeous. For some reason, your twisting back to the start really crept up on me, making it all the more miserable- but I like to think that maybe, just maybe, this time they remember a little more of the last time, and so on and on and on...you never know, after all ;)
Anyway- thanks! I'll have to see if you've written in any of my other tiny little fandoms now...
