Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it enough to keep an eye out for it... ;-)
But yeah updates will probably be kept to about one a month at least until I get caught up with some of my other WIPs I have going (and baring any more cropping up) it will help keep myself interested with out burning out on it since it's going to be a very long fic.
It's funny you say that about Russia because honestly I don't feel like I'm ever really writing him it's more like he writes himself. It's rather scary sometimes how often that happens with the character for me and not at all what I expected when I started writing him. True my Russia is never quite as dark and sadistic as a lot of the fandom seems to like to see him as but I like to think and hope that I do capture that dangerous hair-trigger undercurrent to him. He's not dark and sadistic...but he HAS been and he COULD be again given the right circumstances. And in this universe there's the trying to get the right blend between the man that has the reputation that stretches across the whole of the known world and the man who interacts with his family and those who he considers his extended family (who we will start to meet shortly) in quiet and normal manner. Both of those men are real and the same at the end of the day.
Still I thought he'd be a lot colder and darker towards America at this point but apparently he has other plans which I think make sense...or at least I hope it does. I blame him if it doesn't... *snerks*

My dear author!anon, this is one of the best AUs I've found in the Hetalia fanverse, it has everything I could ever wish for in a fic, and you're specifically going to lengths to ensure it will eventually be finished. The remarkable thing would be if I didn't keep an eye out for it! ;)
Yes! That darkness you mentioned you're trying to portray - it's coming across beautifully! It's part of what makes him so intriguing! And everything you say is there, and I'd totally spazz about it all some more, but my brain is melting out of my ears and taking my normal verbosity with it. (stupid finals...) Russia's plans work just fine, btw. I loved the bit where he was asking Alfred to work with him to make this something that was mutually beneficial so much...! Yes. Again, worship, devotion, and praise for you, most excellent author!anon! Worship, devotion, and praise! (looks over what she's just written) Yeesh, I sound like a creepy stalker-person. That's it, I need more sleep... See you at the next update! ^^ (stumbles off to get some sleep)
