Rec: Or, What You Will by ryfkah

[purplecat]

A lovely Singin' in the Rain fanfic in which Don, Kathy and Cosmo put on a film of Twelfth Night. The dialogue sparkles, capturing both the banter from the movie and using at as excuse to sprinkle the story which lines stolen from Shakespeare. Very cleverly done!

What is this?: Singing in the Rain is one of my favourite feel-good movies. This fic takes a slightly cynical look at the aftermath. What really makes it shine is the pitch perfect dialogue between Cosmo and Lina as they meet up, irregularly, over the years.
