I'm reminded of the worst paper I was ever assigned: Would Romeo and Juliet have made it as a couple had they not, you know, committed suicide.
I still have the paper around here somewhere.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Counterrealities are fun to imagine, but that negates the entire purpose of the play, damnit! It's "Feuding is evil and will only lead to bad ends," not "Can this couple endure?" (tm Kathy and Judy on WGN radio).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My brain has currently cast Anthony Anderson as Romeo and Jeremy Piven as Juliet.
I'd like to get back to work, but I'm too busy hoping those crazy kids will make a go of it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'd like to get back to work, but I'm too busy hoping those crazy kids will make a go of it.I'm kinda hoping that they don't.
Which, frankly, is an odd reaction for me to have but the slash just isn't working for me with them.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That's because Piven+Cusack = OTP.

Are you imagining them in period costume? It might help.

My brain just got doubleteamed by ita and Plei.
I'll need some bleach if I'm going to get any more work done today.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Now's the time for the Wee Fists, Msbelle.
