Awww, the ending was cute and sweet. Glad they ended up together...for now. XD

My favorite part was when kiddy Greece was sitting on Saadiq's lap, painting a picture of his kitten. Adorable!

Thank you! I'm trying to work my way up to writing more of them in the present years, but I haven't worn out the past yet it seems X3

Why.. how.. augh, you write them so well! Just.. I looove reading your Turkey/Greece fics, hnnn~
The others that went along with this tore at my heart, but imho.. I think that if it didn't it wouldn't be Turkey/Greece to me, lol. They just.. auugh, I don't know. To me there's just so much complexity to their relationship, it's not just black or white.. love or hate. There's just such an immense gray area between love and hate with them, lol. And I think you do a swell job at depicting that~

I'm glad you wrote this though~ It was perfect for them.. happy, but with a few sadder undertones and that's what made it so perfect =w=

Thank you very much for doing such a good job. This Turkey/Greece fan is a very happy person <3

Goodluck in China! I hope you have fun! :D

That's exactly how I see them too; 700 years is a really long time to know someone, after all ;) Thank you for reading!

You know that I always love your Turkey/Greece. This is a lovely one, but without all the heartbreak that I feel in some of your other stuff - this is before all that. It's so fuzzy that I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. =D

(er. I don't mean to be annoying. but you may want to check your HTML tags at the beginning...)

The scene with the poetry just - was fantastic. Oof. (AND THE BEGINNING! WITH THE CAT ALLERGY! AND DRAWING CATS! I almost smiled.)

And the lack of naming in the scene where you most want the name, that is lovely, and proper, and beautifully done.

Derp, that's what I get for posting and running away.

It's so fuzzy that I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. =D

I'm sure you can imagine me writing it--"WHAT AM I DOING? IS THIS FLUFF? SHOULD SOMEONE GO HOME CRYING YET?" orz I'm glad you liked it and that I'm not getting rusty writing things that aren't heartbreaking.

Sadiq's cat allergy is headcanon; I just noticed, though, that I rarely have any cats around him...

Well, if you don't write the fuzzy, the heartbreak doesn't hit as hard.

It's my headcanon too, actually. Funnily enough. =D

Ffffff, okay, I finally got a chance to actually comment. I've been lurking here ever since the Germany/America fic and ghostofthemotif's recommending you. XD;; But yes, your writing's amazing and I love it and it makes me squee in all different kinds of frequencies. I'm sorry, it's late and I just got back from a con. I'm rather incapable of higher level thinking at the moment. Have lots of incoherent flailing and keyboard smash instead.

Also, have fun in China! I got back from a month long trip there just a week ago. It's really different, so the culture shock can be quite overwhelming. Is there anything you'd like to ask or...?

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you liked it :3

Oh is that so? What part of China were you in? I'll be in Nanjing for a while. I'm mostly concerned at the moment about the state of fashion for ladies there... orz

Shanghai for a couple of days (WORLD EXPO WAS EPIC. Just ... too many people.) But I spent most of my time in Chengdu and the city's surrounding areas, plus some major site-seeing areas of the province, most notably Jiuzaigou. It's gorgeous, by the way, google some pics!

Oh, Nanjing. I haven't been there since I was eight, so I don't remember it that well. And um, fashion, um, I'm really the last person to ask about fashion. OTZ I live in jeans and t-shirts and flip-flops. It's a Florida thing, I swear.

What is the World Expo? I keep hearing about it and I have no clue @A@ I know I'm already going to look like a fish out of water, I wish I knew what people were wearing over there so I looked even less strange haha
