This was lovely, it really was. Ukraine being the worried older sister, lost, and losing hope. Sad, but well written.

Thank you! &hearts

I could have so easily made this prompt about communism, but I didn't! /proud of self

I realized that it was getting a bit melancholy, so the very end was supposed to perk it up just a bit.

Uwah! That was so true, Polish-Lithuanian Union (I am using this name cuz' that's easier to write!)
I love that fick, great job!

Thank you! &hearts

Co było takie prawdziwe? XD Dla mnie wybielanie realcji stosunków między Rosją, Białorusią i Ukrainą, a oczernianie unii ma swoje granice lol

Maybe it's not very hostorically accurate in some parts, but really well-written - I wish there was more fanfiction about Ukraine - she's one of my favourite female characters :)

[moirae]

Thank you! I really like Ukraine, as well--actually, all of the females rank amongst my favorites. x)

You've got Ukraine down perfectly. The concerned older sister, always watching, waiting, and worrying, and almost in a sense helpless because her younger siblings are stronger.

This was so sad, but so perfect, it still makes me feel warm ♥

I love it when I have the perfect icon for a moment

I'm glad you think so! I'm always hesitant to write characters like her since, well...I don't relate to them much? So it could go so horribly wrong. But if you approve, I'm content. &hearts

I tried to make it optimistic in the end! I suppose I just fail at warm and fuzzy feelings, orz.

[chromatic_coma]

If I approve? Certainly I'm not a modly power over moe characters (regardless of what everyone says about my apparently "astounding" ability to write them), and so you should not depend on my judgement.

You didn't fail; it did make me fuzzy. ♥

It's very cute =)
I like Ukraine character very much, but i think she is more strong than she is in Hetalia.
And about russian language - "Big sister" means "Старшая сестра" (Big=Older).
