I got very LOST in this story -- I'm very used to reading your things and actively searching for your authorial voice/quirks, but while I was reading this I only fell out of the narrative a couple of times. The rest of the time I was enjoying the ride :D

I like the Shakespeare, obviously. I like the recognition. And I like that it has the same kind of ending as my HCL fic, the only kind of ending that Billy Tallent can ever engender: irresolution.
