Poland - "Endlessly" (Part II)
VI
The dull light of the small tavern did little to brighten his spirits, although the musical performance on that tiny, improvised stage managed to steal a few laughs from several partisans.

Yes, I did indeed enjoy the historical part of the story. I'm not a fan of LietPol, so I found the sex scene at the end rather unnecessary, especially when compared to the emotions of the rest of the fic. But to each his own, I suppose.
What I like most about this fic is the take on Poland's canon cross-dressing. Once again, not something I'm really a fan of since it really conflicts with my view of my country (I'm by no means homophobic! Quite the opposite, but it's just that "faaa~bulous" REALLY does not describe the Polish national character). I actually found the way you addressed the cross-dressing to be very clever and understandable. This was really the most intelligent take on the subject I've ever seen in this fandom. Great job on that.
Polish language time!
Only Feliks is correct, we don't have the letter x at all. In borrowed words it's always written out "ks" and pronounced as two separate sounds (For example: faks, seks, ekstra). Technically Feliks is a name borrowed from Latin...
Feel free to ask if you ever have any other questions! Sometimes Polish is pretty hard even for Poles, lol.
