Lost Time - Part Two Notes

First: An explanation of the comment about Kuma-chan getting bigger. In my head, Kumajirou is most definitely not a normal polar bear. He’s some kind of aboriginal magic thing, like a Totem or a Guide or something similar, and most of the time he stays the size of a teddy beat because that takes less energy and is less obvious and stuff. But when he (or Canada) is REALLY ROYALLY PISSED, he goes all full-blown polar bear on you and will kill you dead. Yeah. So, Arthur doesn’t wanna piss the thing off, just in case.
I have no idea why this was such a bitch to type out. It was all there in my head, but it DID NOT want to come out AT ALL. Jeez. And then it changed shape a bunch of times before settling into what we have here. I blame the fact that for the last three days, it’s SNOWED. FUCK MATT, I HATE THE WEATHER SOMETIMES. But today was warm~~
Yes, I do realize that Colombia!Mattie’s little shrine thing was probably on the first floor in the original. Pretend he ended up moving it for some reason. It makes sense in my head. Something to do with bottling thing up, I think. OTL
Question for all you people: Do you want me to give you the names of some of the songs on the inspirational playlist for this? Cuz I know that I, personally, am a music nerd love to know what the author is listening to. And just in case someone wants, here are a few. Simple Plan -> Perfect world Rise Against -> The Good Left Undone Ayumi Hamasaki -> Together When… All of which came on while I was working on this. My iPod hates me. orz
On a more relevant note: Francis wants in on the angsty. Do I let him, or not? But if he gets in, Prussia’s gonna want in, and I have NO IDEA what I’d do with him… Long notes are long.
My continual stalking of this fill has not been in vain! (waters author!anon's self-confidence, to make it grow faster)
Another lovely chapter, well worth the wait! I always thought that Mattie's acceptance of Alfred's not-dead-ness would be the hardest thing to pull off, but you did it wonderfully! And I love, love, love how you've used Kumajiro here~! My heart broke the same moment that Arthur's did, I swear.
Bringing Francis in would be extra-awsome. As for Prussia, why not give him a "damage control" role similiar to Kuamjiro? Because of all these characters, he's the one with the weakest emotional connection to Alfred, so he'd be able to stand back and keep them all sane.
Will this world's Arthur make an appearance, too? (Loving the angst so much, I can't even tell you...)
Not familiar with modern music myself, but I YouTubed the Simple Plan song, 'cause I like them. Appropriate choice.
Author!Anon is slightly embarassed by the love

And by slightly embarassed, I mean I look like a freakin tomato. I checked. *flustered*
I wish I knew where half this stuff comes from. Honestly, this fill is writting itself. Francis pretty much came streaking in without my permission, and Gilbert felt left out and joined the party. -.-;; And OF COURSE this world's Arthur is gonna show up! I have to hit him with SOMETHING. *already has that plotted*
Part of me is sorry to tell you the angst is going to get much, much worse. Because a plot point I am not happy about AT ALL but damn, it makes SENSE popped up shortly after I got part one up and I feel terrible about it. *massive guilt trip* There's gonna be LOTS of appologizing from over here when it starts. ...Actually, it's started already. You just don't know it yet. T^T I'msorry!
So what Kuma-chan is doing is called damage control? XD You know a fill has gotten away from you when the freaking BEAR does things without explaining them to you. Oh look, Prussia just decided what he's gonna do with himself. So, including Prussia it is! Dammit, the character count is rising.
That song breaks me in so many ways. But I love it none the less. It's such a kick in the teeth. ...Actually, most of the songs on that playlist are, in one way or another...

I foresee a showdown between the two Arthurs. Gonna suck for both of them, but I only feel sorry for one. Also feeling kind of bad for looking forward to it.
Francis? Why not?
I've been stalking this fill too. It's got a lot of potential, and I'm a sucker for angst.
And well... If you like angst... Hang around, I guess. Because assuming I don't fail massively... You'll get more angst. *twitch*
Your captcha just set off my equivalent of the 'sinking feeling', which is, unfortunately rather painful. *writhes* I really hate that thing sometimes.

I love this story! And I loved Grey Skies Over London! And I love you, Author!
Author sounds like Arthur but Columbia does not love Arthur and I love Columbia and this story is going to break my heart I just know it. Don't cry, Mattie. I love you, Mattie : [
Captcha says "reside Nixon," good try Captcha but somehow I don't think Columbia voted for Nixon!
Yeah... Colombia probably didn't vote for Nixon... Assuming I'm thinking of the right president... I can't even keep track of the various Prime Ministers and I live in Canada. OTL Massive politics fail.
