Why this must be read:

Because by now you could probably use a break from all the damn depressing fics I've recommended! Munch Ado About Nothing places Shakespeare's great comedy Much Ado About Nothing in Fells Point, where both Beau Felton's good name and his budding romance with Megan Russert are threatened by the evil plots of Gaffney the Bastard. Munch and Kay, naturally, stand in for Shakespeare's beloved battling lovers Beatrice and Benedick, blissfully unaware that Bayliss has bet Pembleton he can get the two to fall in love. The better you know Shakespeare, the more fun it is -- and the sound of Shakespeare's poetry punctuated by Kay's trademark "huh?" is worth the price of admission. It's a brilliant blend of two very different worlds that's surprisingly touching and nothing short of hilarious.

"And now we'll fit the kid-fox with a pennyworth. Faith, I have no idea what I meant by that."
