Fic: To Be King
Nov. 1st, 2010 12:12 amAnd now, for All Hallows Day, a fic about the dead.
This one is inspired by, of all things, something my Queer Theory prof said while explaining Butler's "heterosexual melancholia". (No, the fic has nothing to do with heterosexual melancholia!)
Title: To Be King
Fandom: Shakespeare (King Lear)
Characters: Edgar, and most of the other major characters
Rating: PG
Length: 876 words
Summary: The problem with the dead is that you can't shut them up.
( No, Goneril says, a whisper in his ear, a voice nobody else can hear from a woman nobody else can see. )
