The Bard is hard to translate

Revels = ended. Harold fic = finally done.

This Rough Magic (@AO3)

~9500 words, gen. In which Harold and his Machine discover the brave new world of theatre, and I get to indulge myself in Shakespeare all over again. (Though this is really more like "the heart is hard to translate" than "Rich and Strange," despite being ostensibly (and deceptively) a casefic, although Harold's Machine is a lot more publicly theatrical (pun intended) than Simon's.)

Also, totally not Finch/Reese, except everything is Finch/Reese, but I managed to limit myself to hearteyes and eternal gratitude this time around.

I kept extremely quiet about this one (to everyone except wonderful betas pendrecarc and penwiper26) because it was one of those where I couldn't believe no one else would be seized by the same idea and want to write it and, heh, I should know better; no one else has my strange ideas. And certainly no one else has six or possibly seven Shakespeare-based PoI fic titles. *drowns book*

Thank you! And whether it's in character for the Machine or not, it's certainly in character for me, so might as well just go with it. :)
