that's another thing about twelfth night...depending on how malvolio's played, you can end up being pretty deeply disturbed by the "prank" that the other minor characters play on him...nice thing about the fine lines production is that malvolio is prudish enough to be annoying but also human enough to elicit sympathy, so his fate walks the line between "he deserved it" and "oh, god, poor guy."
and oh, god. i meant "bad" as in "really not-good quality-wise." we can form a naivete club, i swear, just ask mhari 'cause i'm the same way. i can't write smut, and even /reading/ slash has me looking furtively over my shoulder for the decency police.
the real problem is that i don't think that sebastien really knew what was up with antonio. he probably figured that there was something odd, further than mere good friendship, but it didn't occur to him /what/; and i think he was probably straight. so writing something requited might be beyond me.
(i do have scraps of the give-antonio-a-happy-ending fic floating around. i'll finish that one day...maybe.)
