fic behind-the-scenes

this one!! i think there's a bit of a freudian slip (?) in your ask yesss i love this one

the idea of trapping the two of them in a situation like that was one i was rotating in my head a lot and am probably going to revisit for something longer someday, but since it was for a challenge with such a short word limit i decided to do something really simple and just focus on the "secret identity fail" beat more than really doing anything too deep with their relationship, hence also deciding to have reki just be kind of chill after the finale (with more time to work with i probably would have had a bit more tension on his end too.)

my favorite thing i did with it is the thing with the use of names/epithets in adam's narration, something i did again at more length in my later fic with these two - both in how adam delineates thinking of himself as adam or ainosuke, and how he refuses to even think reki's name for the first chunk of the fic. in this one he only thinks of him as reki after he's mentioned langa

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended 30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

HI MEG

26. I don't really make any pieces that are terribly ambiguous, but I was surprised at the number of people who took this one to be "Akira is a literal ghost who wants revenge" instead of "Goro is wracked by a deep, unknowable sense of guilt and lack of vindication." It's always super fun to see through another lens like that!

“I’m just saying.” Joe waves a hand. “You can’t blame him for wanting some closure, now that you’re…”

Adam watches, eyebrow arched behind his mask, as Joe searches for an appropriately tactful way to praise him for becoming slightly less of a neurotic, unapproachable tyrant. He can admit, it can’t be an easy task.

“…Reevaluating,” Joe settles on.

“If I blamed him,” Adam says, “I wouldn’t have accepted the beef at all.”

On 23 April 2026, commemorating the birth anniversary of William Shakespeare, Swarnprastha Public School hosted a vibrant special assembly titled *Celebrating Shakespeare.* The programme commenced with a soulful recitation of “All The World’s A Stage” from As You Like It, setting a reflective and contemplative tone.

The mood soon shifted to a lively, foot-tapping medley that seamlessly wove together some of Shakespeare’s most enduring phrases—“break the ice,” “the green-eyed monster,” “to be or not to be”, etc.

The highlight of the assembly was a gripping enactment from *Julius Caesar,* where students delivered powerful performances that resonated with intensity and emotion—capturing moments of drama “in one fell swoop,” echoing with “sound and fury,” and ultimately coming “full circle.”

Adding depth to the celebration, a “Knowing Shakespeare” presentation offered fascinating insights into the Bard’s life and legacy. The assembly concluded on an engaging note with an Inter-House Quiz, bringing together enthusiasm, knowledge, and a shared appreciation for Shakespeare’s timeless brilliance.
