I am not a Romeo and Juliet afficionado - I think it's a play for the very young and un-jaded, not for those of us who had to learn common sense and caution the hard way.
I feel the same way, which is why I was very surprised to find myself using it for this and for my other dS/S&A crossover. But I like a lot of the phrases and imagery in the dialogue, and the whole kept-apart-by-family-feud thing resonates a bit with Fraser and Thatcher's situation, since they also have outside factors keeping them apart.
