Title: Renaissance Men
Author: Galadriel (caras_galadhon)
Pairing: Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen
Rating: G
Archive: Lothlorien, sons_of_gondor and Rugbytackling.
Feedback: Always appreciated.
Disclaimer: Absolutely did not happen. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Summary: Sean, a Renaissance playwright seeking a patron and some small success, bubbles over with frustration at his rival's popularity.
Warning: While I try to treat my subjects with respect and care, unless it is specifically my focus within a tale, I do not believe fiction is the place for moral statements nor lockstep realism. My characters are not me, and may act in fantastical, offensive, inappropriate and/or downright dangerous or criminal ways depending on context.
Notes: An AU set in Elizabethan England and loosely inspired by popular theories around and characterizations of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Written for empy, who is responsible for the original idea and, in her inimitable style, allowed her plotbunny to bite me. Ow! Also for everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday this year, in all venues and forms. Thank you. ♥
