I was all set to go to bed, and then I saw this. Best chapter so far, in my opinion; I love the tension building between Russia and America. It'll be interesting to see what happens with China and Cuba and the Vietnam War and all the nasty stuff associated with communism during the Cold War.

Oh, thank you, I'm really glad you liked it! =D We're looking forward to all of those things, too!

*squee* New Chapter!

The appearance of this update has successfully distracted me from cramming for my analytic chem exam tomorrow *is ridiculously late*

Must Read!

Okay, that was awesome (at least as awesome as all the previous chapters)

"But you just help everyone, don't you? And that makes the times you helped me amount to exactly nothing at all." ....oh, Russia. America's kinda right, in a way-he just doesn't get it. It makes one wonder a little how part of him could be so in love with America, since he doesn't really get who America is at all. Nevertheless: he (Russia) still desperately needs a hug-that's the overwhelming feeling I get for him through this

I think Russia just can't fuckin' believe America, sometimes. I mean, he looks at America, and he sees this well-meaning, cocky, energetic, idealistic, generous kid, and he adores him, but there's this cynical part of his mind that goes: bullshit. He must have an agenda. People aren't like that.

And like, he knows he can always get a rise out of America by casting aspersions on his motives, because America does try so hard, and it bothers America so much when he doesn't live up to his own morals. So sometimes, Russia throws stuff like this out just to piss America off, regardless of whether or not he believes it.

That's how I see it, anyway.

now I'm just a little bit warmer and fuzzier inside for having found out what America and West Germany and the rest of the Allies pulled off in the winter of 48-49....

The Berlin Airlift is totally a warm-and-fuzzies enabler. IT IS HERO TIME NOW YOU GUYS.

The mention of Operation Little Vittles had me tearing up a bit, not gonna lie. I'm going to have to agree with the first comment and say that, dang I think this is my favorite chapter thus far.The whole feel is just - different somehow. It's great. Ahh.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I'm so happy you liked it! =D Cold War is definitely a different feel from their relationship in the past, I agree.

That candy run was the cutest thing I have ever read.

God, I love you guys.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

It's one of the cutest stories ever! You know, before the candy manufacturers picked up on it and started making donations? American children were sending their own candy to Germany. I just. I almost can't stand it. ♥

Ohh, I remember this. Spent so many months studying it, but it's far more interesting when it's done with a Hetalia spin. Great work!

I have discovered that most things in history are. XD I'm glad you liked it!
