Fics like Boats Against The Current

Gatsby is like a dream come true. You’ve never been this inspired; the words just flow from your hands. Every time you glance at the text, new ideas come swirling in. The cast too is magnetic. Ivy is a breath-taking Daisy, cold and soft in equal measure, and glowing in the light. Her chemistry with Sam Strickland’s Nick is electric; you half wonder if you should have cast him as Gatsby, but his narration is simply too good to pass up. The surprise star though is Ana Vargas as Myrtle – Derek had recommended her from her time at Hit List, and she steals all her scenes, smouldering and vulnerable. Her final number is one of your favourites. Well, it would be, if Tom would finish writing the damn thing. Tom has a hard time coping with Gatsby.
