I didn't forget it; it's there but for some fucking strange reason it is not working no matter what I do to it.

[chromatic_coma]

Scratch that. I did it correctly, but when I went back into the entry and edited it to give a beta credit, I forgot to close the pointy brackets after your username, which threw the html off ^^;

Wow. Just, wow.

I haven't seen enough little!Romano interacting with Rome. And now, I think, I've been so spoiled by this that whatever else I do find just won't feel right.

[chromatic_coma]

Oh dear. I apologize to all other authors out there who wanted to do something like this, then ;)

Actually, that makes me really happy and honored to hear >////< Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed this! Your back story does a really good job of filling in all the spots skipped over in the anime/comic while fitting in perfectly with the official story line. This does a lot to explain all of Romano's anger and jealousy issues!

[chromatic_coma]

>w< Thank you! I'm glad you could see these events fitting into Hetalia canon, and I'm really really glad you enjoyed the story!

Oh, wow. This was really good. Believable, cute, and sad... I have tears in my eyes, but I was smiling as I read it. Even the ending was perfect, I think, for how Veneziano and Romano act (together). You even managed to put Rome, a character not known too deeply, in the story in a way that seems in character (and I think Romano and Veneziano were in character, too. Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt were also interesting characters, and you portrayed Germania pretty well.). I enjoyed it immensely.

[chromatic_coma]

Hehe, that's pretty perfect. I think if I could ask readers to react a certain way to this fic, it would be something along those lines; of course, I can't ask that, but knowing that you feel as such anyways makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I really love playing with the characters of the Ancient Nations. They are always a treat to study and write :3 The Italy brothers as well have an interesting dynamic.

Thank you ♥

[porcelainwife]

Ah, yes. I can see why. I'm glad I can make you feel that way (wait, that sounds weird...)in a non-creepy way...

Mh, agreed. And the Italy brothers are, like, my top two favorite characters! ^^

You're welcome~ ^^

[chromatic_coma]

Hehe, it's all good.

Somehow I'm thinking this is incredible fluffy despite the sad undertone ^^
Rome had a few children under his wings, some more happy than other ones =D

[chromatic_coma]

Thanks~ It pretty much is fluffy but sad, yeah...
