Very good job on this - I feel that you have captured Prussia's mood very well! I really enjoyed how you made him feel sort of resigned about the whole ordeal, and how you mentioned little details such as his bruises and the fact that he never lit his cigarette.

This was a very enjoyable read, and I thought that you did a fine job with the history behind it~

I also know exactly what photo you are talking about, and I would love it if you write a sequel. ;D

It made me really happy to get this comment right before heading to bed X) Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, awesome that you got what photo I was making reference at! The mental image it creates in my mind is just, guh... needs to be written. And despite what some people say about APH maybe not being the best medium for bringing up historical things (I've seen so many dislike it because they feel it makes fun of history. Well, yeah, it does. Take a chill pill and maybe it'll stop bothering you...?) I actually feel more comfortable like this. Takes the edge off writing about things that actually happened I suppose. Ah, but now I'm rambling at you. So didn't mean to do that XD

I love putting in little details like that, and I'm always happy when they stand out to the reader.

I'll do my best with getting a sequel/accompanying fic' out. It'll get written if it wants to bad enough I'm sure :D And merry Christmas by the way!

Well I am glad that you got my comment just in time! XD You are very welcome, and I was being sincere when I said I really enjoyed reading this! <3 <3 <3

And I agree when you say that some people need to take a chill pill... whenever I want to introduce people to Hetalia, I always start out by saing, "Don't approach it too seriously; it is meant to be humorous!" It's sad I have to say that really, but I think we both know why it is sometimes necessary... ><

And I really adore it when people decide to include heavy history in Hetalia fics~ I am a total history nut you see and that is another reason why I am super happy about you writing a sequel... because I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the mental image the photo brings to mind. Heehe~

Merry Christmas to you as well! <3

Yeah, I supposed it was sincere since you took the time to make a comment XD I'm not intimidating enough to make people comment òwo

I mostly avoid talking about Hetalia to people, don't know why really <.< I'm not afraid of their opinions, cause I think I'd be able to explain it right.
The point with Hetalia is that it is just some good-hearted poking fun at histories and national stereotypes. It's so silly that I just don't understand how someone could even pretend to take it seriously. And I'm glad that Himaruya mostly has avoided touching upon the really sensitive subjects. It wouldn't mix well with the tone of APH. Of course, there are some things I don't like either how he treats them, but that's the great thing about being a fan, and having freedom of opinion; You don't have to agree with everything in order to enjoy it. Pisses me off when people think APH fans just swallow everything Himaruya says like he's some sort of history god and incapable of errors ( ... )

It was really good, I like the way you wrote it.

But I want to know why Germany wasnt there. I would expect that he dousnt want to see the wall. Or do you want that everyone should make his own image of this?^^

Oh im really sorry for my bad english, Im tired XD
Btw im german, you too? or where do you put this german sentence from? :3

Thank you =) I'm glad you enjoyed.

Germany has his reasons, and you pretty much hit the spot with what you said. So yeah, something like he doesn't want to see it. I'm not sure if more will be mentioned about it whenever I get around to the sequel, but there won't be anything from Germany's point of view for this, unfortunately.

I'm actually Swedish, and I found the quote during my research XD But I've been studying German for a month, so guten Abend I guess? X3

WHow youre studying it? I always think that nobody studys german XD (dunno why)
Thats really intresting, yes it was "Guten Abend", now its "Guten Mittag" :3
If you want I can help ypu a little bit to study it, can I ask why do you have intrest in Germany?

Do you write often Fics? Normally I dont read them much but I love short ones with a lot of meaning inside. Im happy that I kicked my ass to read it XD

Well here I think it's the most common language to study as the obligatory language during high school and junior high (choices are German, Spanish and French, and they're popular in that order)
After this class I'm not sure when I'll be taking more classes, depends if I get into University. I choose to study German because I absolutely adore foreign languages, and I want to test a lot of different ones before I decide what I want to work with (I want to become an interpreter and/or translator) I used to not like German so much because I thought it sounded so rough, but somehow I changed my mind and now I think the way it sounds is really beautiful in its own way =)

I have my periods of writing, and now I'm really into it for the moment. And you're lucky because the only ones I ever end up posting are the short ones XD I don't want to post something that's not finished and none of my chapter fic's ever seem to get done o.o

Thank you for the friends add btw ♥ I'm always glad to have more lj buddies.

Shure thing

Well I think german really sounds rough. Maybe a little bit old and cold too.
Too its a difficult language, I think its hard for other people to learn it because of the grammar...maybe? ^^;

Yeah I love other languages too but im not blessed with a understanding for grammar. Right know im learning japanese, and maybe I will learn French in the future.

Hey now, then im really happy :3 I hope we can read more of such nice short ones ¦3

Yup, I pretty much agree with that description! ^^

Yes the grammar is really hard X( all the conjugations of die, der and das, not to mention knowing when to use dative case or accusative case.
If, maybe... it's okay with you, I could ask you questions when I get really stuck with my German studies? <<; It'd be great to have someone to turn to, because it's always really difficult in the beginning.
