That was wonderful. (Yes, I love these kind of stories!) Any chance of German translations, btw?

[herk227]

Translation:

“Lange nicht gesehen! Wie geht’s dir?”
could be roughly translated to:
"Long time-no see! How are you?"

“Streit mit der Freundin?“
indeed means
"Girlfriend trouble?"
or in a word to word translation
"Having a row with your girlfriend?"

“Es war nicht dein Krieg.”
=
"It wasn't your war."

Zum Abschied = As a farewell

I hope that helps (and the author doesn't protest)

[vail_kagami]

No protest here. I just didn't know how to add the translations so they wouldn't mess with the flow of the story. And then I decided that since the story is told from Fitz's pov and he doesn't understand, it would be okay not to add any.

[quazonic]

Thanks! And yeah, I asked for the translations because I was just curious. It works without them in the story. :D

I couldn't resist Scowling!Jack. He had no actual reason to be in this fic, but somehow he wormed his way in, and said: "This my Doctor now, go find own!" (But maybe that was the alcohol speaking...)

[marah_sarie]

Wow. That was brilliant. I really liked the "It wasn't your war" line in German. That was heart-wrenching.

[vail_kagami]

Ho ho, thanks a lot.
Somehow I couldn't resist using a 'foreign' language I'm really good at. :P

Ohhhhh, lovely. Poor Fitz!
