YAY Kiku won!! Of course I knew he would, but still. And I loved the wedding! :D Wonderful job.
Can't wait to see what Yoong Soo's adventure will be! Will some of the previous characters return? (like Eagle!Alfred? *hopes*)

Yeah, I didn't deviate too much from the original, so it was going to be a happy ending no matter what. And I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, it's supposed to be a oneshot focusing on Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan and I guess I can throw in America and some others too. I don't quite have a full idea for it yet, so it probably might not be done so soon.... but I do hope to write other oneshots based in this AU in future, so keep your fingers crossed ;)

Thanks for sticking with this fic even though it took longer than it should ^^; I appreciate all your comments, they've made me really happy! :)

You're too kind. O///O

Happy endings are the best, aren't they? :] This part felt considerably more tongue-in-cheek than the previous one, but it fit overall with the "affectionate parody" tone with the humor preventing the sweetness from becoming overly sappy.

I have to admit that the fish thing seemed random to me at first, until I got to Poland's explanation. Oh Poland, never change. And the open ending leaves me intrigued as I don't know which myth that incident with Korea was based off; I hope that'll be given some closure in the future. ;)

Eh? But you've been kind enough to comment on almost all my Giripan fics, and they've all helped with my writing, one way or another... so I really appreciate them!

They are, for most stories :3 Heh, I've always meant this parody to be more light-hearted than the original myth, so I'm glad you like my satirical take on it I also blame Hetatween strips since I was writing this out as I checked on updates xD

I'm glad it also didn't come across too sappy either - that was my biggest concern for this story. Oh er the fish lol. Well, I just thought that it may sound a little odd (and possibly OOC) if Kiku was to be so about his looks... it might've been okay with fem!Kiku but somehow it just didn't feel right (to me, as I was planning it) to have normal!Kiku worry that much about his physical beauty. Hence why I changed it to 'fish' instead, which also gave me a chance to expand on the idea and insert Poland in just for teh lulz xD

Well, it's kind of an allusion to Wonderland, although there is a Korean folktale concerning rabbits and ( ... )
