Oh, oh ow. This chapter ;_;
“If this goes on, America, it will be the end of me.”
Owww oh England.
The WWI destroyers part is just. I can't believe that. :c

I eagerly await every update of this thoroughly painful and beautiful fic. ;A;♥

Thank you so much for reading! I'm glad you liked it (whether it be painful or otherwise). ♥

Your England kills me.

Or actually, this whole chapter does. One moment I wanted to smack Alfred on the head and hug Arthur and never let go, and then a moment later it was the reverse. This chapter was beautiful and depressing and so very, very heartbreaking. Arthur's honesty, Alfred's denial and confusion... you nailed them. Again.

(I have to admit that I first read this chapter something like an hour ago, but I was rendered speechless and had to wait before I could even try and leave a comment. Because you're just that amazing. ♥)

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! And that I could make both of them smack-worthy. I fear that it might be leaning a bit more apologetically towards Arthur over Alfred, but I did want to try and accurately express both their frustrations with the other, and failings. And stuff. /articulate

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, depressing and heartbreaking nature aside, and thank you so much for reading. ♥

The beauty of this story lies mainly in your masterful prose (I am new to the comm and greedily devoured all of your fics in a week!) and is helped along by its historical supports. The sad truth of this historical relationship provides endless raw materials for you to spin into frightful US/UK angst ( ... )

Hmmm... I don't think I have quite articulated my thoughts on Alfred in this fic. You are making him deliciously complex so its hard to pin down what I want to say. It is all that I said above, but I don't mean to make it sound like he has no heart. He is so confused, and he seems to hurt so much that he isn't sure which way is up. Painful growing pains- he is really still a kid in the context of the other nations and yet he has to be a leader and make hard choices and be accountable to them and the right path isn't very clear, and perhaps his ideals are looking strangely grey. Tough times.

I'm so glad you like my writing! alsdhgasd; thank you so much. I love writing and so I'm really happy I can share things with such a great fandom filled with so many amazing writers (and welcome to the comm/fandom :D). But yes, it's part of what I love about Hetalia: the ability to explore history with such great characters. It makes for some really fun story-telling ( ... )

*Bawls through most of the chapter* Goddammit...your stories always make me cry. ;w;

But seriously guys. SERIOUSLY. America, give him the help he wants and quit being a bitch, and England, accept it and kick ass so you guys can kiss and make out up already. :| The boys are making me sob buckets over here...and I have a feeling it's not going to turn happy any time soon.

Seriously though, I cried through this whole chapter, and absolutely LOVED it. Keep spoiling me writing, luv~! <3

Sorry for making you cry! DDD:
But despite that, I'm really, really glad that you enjoyed it!

But yes. I can't promise everything will get better right away, because there are a lot of issues and plenty of stubbornness on both sides. But they'll eventually get there? Maybe?

Thank you so much for reading. ♥

They'd better get there. xD But they're just so stubborn that pride gets in the way and then aksdjflaskdjf it all gets ruined before it gets better. XD

Also...I wondered if I might message you and ask for some writing advice? I'm really in desperate need of some, and as I really look up to you and your writing skills...I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. ;w;

They're prideful and stubborn. Worst combination in an individual, and even worse with two individuals. It'll just make the end result all the sweeter, though, ha ha.

And feel free! I hope I'll be able to help at least somewhat! :O I can't make any promises, but if I can I'd love to be able to help you. ♥
