Appreciation [5/5]

“Li-thu-a-ni-a~!”
The singsong voice set both of them immediately on edge, and Estonia nearly choked on his own breath. He could see dread begin to age his brother's face almost immediately, and suddenly wished there was something he could do to shelter him, this man who was always protecting and caring for everyone else. Who tells you not to hate yourself? Estonia wondered. Who makes you feel at home?
“Lithuania, where are you? You're not hiding from me, are you?”
With a finger pressed tersely to his lips, Lithuania straightened up and brushed the creases from Estonia's uniform, then his own. “Go out through the adjoining bathroom,” he whispered, an urgent hiss. With his poor vision it was hard to tell, but Estonia thought Lithuania might be shaking. “I'll see you later this evening.”
“You have to come with - ”
“No!” The word was near-silent, but too emphatic to be argued. There were footsteps now, coming down the hall toward them, like heartbeats in the old, mostly-silent house. Here,” Lithuania reached over to the bedside table. “put your glasses back on.”
“Thanks,” replied Estonia, and as he slid the metal frames up the bridge of his nose, making his way to the door on the other side of the room with his vision and appearance restored, he wondered whether he should be glad not to be beautiful all the time.

Sorry, leading=/=topping. Sorry, massive HTML FUBAR. Sorry, if OP happens to be squicked by 'cest ships. FORTUNATELY YOU'VE GOT TWO OTHER ANONS SWOOPING IN TO SAVE THE DAY. ;__;
Seriously, OP, I'm REALLY sorry about all that. And if it's not what you intended/wanted.
...The glasses are still there, though. :'D
P.S. could a mod maybe delete the super-messed up first attempt at part 4? *goes off to curl up in the corner, ashamed*

D: Bah. HTML messes are no fun! But, it happens to the best of us. Tip: Usually when I'm prepping a fill, I make a private entry in my LJ with the fill in it, so that I can test out the HTML ahead of time. Alternately, you can use the 'preview post' function (but I find the private entry thing is just easier).
Anyway. This was sweet -- er, I mean, until Russia showed up, anyway. x.x Gah, poor Estonia. And Liet. I want to hug them both! Ah, I love how affectionate, how loving Liet is toward Estonia. But the end, oh, my heart. Ouch. x.x

Very very true! ;_; And thank you for the advice, I'll do that next time. Thing is, I read this over to check for breaks in the HTML twice, but I think I went all dyslexic on it and just didn't notice. >.<
I'm glad you enjoyed it...? If I'm reading that right, and you did in fact enjoy it. ^_^U Yeah, I don't know, I wanted it to be totally fluffy all the way, but then...the Russia!ending hijacked me. *sigh* It's just really hard to write straight up fluff involving the Baltics, since you ALWAYS have Russia looming and throwing a shadow over them. ;_;

Ahaha, I did indeed like it (I think my flailing must have made it unclear). Ahh, but so sad~
You do have a point about Baltics and fluff. It's hard! I've tried sometimes, but Russia likes to lurk. However, I'm going to do my best to make my own Estonia-fic fluffy (or at least happy). I tried to solve the Russia problem in my own by setting it post-independence. We'll see how that works out. xD

Hooray! XD No, I just never know whether it's good or bad when people say "OH, MY HEART D:" or variations thereupon.
Yeah, especially ANYTHING INVOLVING LIET. Even without Russia, he packs a lot of angst of his own. ;_; But I will be looking forward to a happy break from the bleak routine when you post your fic~ Also I'm excited to know who you paired with Estonia! XD
Sadly, the whole "SELF ESTEEM TAKES 9000 DAMAGE FROM UKRAINE!" plot point sort of requires them to be living in Russia's house. And the rest sort of writes itself.

Dude, that was freaking AMAZING. So sad, but so sweet at the same time. Have you filled anything else? (Because I would be on that like white on rice.) XD
http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/632.html?thread=734072#t734072 <-- the first Partition of the Commonwealth so basically Prussia, Russia and Austria raping Poland and Lithuania (it's as yet unfinished, and also REALLY LONG, so...a lot of warnings for this one ^_^U)

"Who tells you not to hate yourself? Estonia wondered. Who makes you feel at home?" I cried :'(
Pffft, now I know who you are. XD You wrote my favorite fill~ I don't know how many times I've read that Poland/Lithuania text-sex story. Puts a smile on my face every time. 'ttly secksy'

Aww, I'm glad you liked it! <3 I know, Estonia needs more love. ;_; I'd write more of him, but he always ends up turning out more like Latvia when I write him. XD

The last part was the best. Oh ,Liet, love. You're so good to take care of everyone and shield them, even against their own insecurities. You're such a self-sacrificing deary.
This was really good and I didn't sense any problems. It was a fun read.

Ohhhh, author-anon, you make me love this pairing. *___*
You could have kept going with this for another eight parts or so and I'd have kept happily reading. Beautifully written, adorably sweet, and just... incredibly touching. Love for you. So much love. <3
