I’ve been up for too long I didn’t realize what was wrong with this.
AU where Romeo and Juliet are a bickering writing duo and William Shakespeare is their debut play they’re trying to put on after college. Forsooth, hijinks ensue.
Hamlet is their emo friend who keeps complaining about his stepdad. Othello is their friend who got married too young and had their friend group’s first ugly divorce over supposed infidelity. Macbeth is their politician friend whose ambitious girlfriend pushed him to cheat at a student union election, despite the fact that nobody actually noticed or cared. William Shakespeare is a parody of writers who use their friends as material for amped-up melodramas, and they colloquially refer to their play as Mmm Whatcha Say because their protagonist is obsessed with killing off all his characters.
YAAAAAAASSSSS
Someone write this plz. (Not me I have too much to do.)
