rynneSo it looks like people really do want to try my first challenge! *excited* Then I'm going to start handing out lines now, as replies to the comments already left on the original post.
And for anyone who hasn't seen that post yet and would still like to participate, go here. The rules are very simple--you comment and tell me you're interested, I give you a few lines from a Shakespearian play or sonnet, and you write a fic based on those lines. Any fandom you want, any rating you want, to be finished any time you want, as there's no deadline. Once people start putting up their fics, I'll link them all in a master list here in this post and put it under my memories as Shakespeare Challenge.
Well then, let's get the ball rolling! :D
1. Mercy by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xellas. HP, Snape & Lily, gen, PG.
The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Unto the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, scene I
2. This Side of the Lie byzauberer_sirin. HP, Remus/Sirius, Snape/Regulus/Bellatrix, implied Snape/Harry, R.
Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
Henry VI, Act I, scene ii
3. Doing Fine byseemag. X-Files, MSR, post-William, PG-13.
Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form.
King John, Act III, scene iv

no sooner
met but they looked, no sooner looked but they
loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner
sighed but they asked one another the reason, no
sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
As You Like It, Act V, scene ii
Only a year after the fact. *g*
