Oooh, I like the style you're using for your fill. It reads like we're getting snapshots of Canada and Ukraine's relationship and eventual romance, just enough to get an idea of their relationship progression. I can't wait to read the rest of this fill!

First!Author!Anon goes awww. I feel like I never see this pairing, but it's really cute. Canada freaking out about her crying was really sweet, very cute, and very in character. And there's history? If I was a puppy, my tail would be wagging. As it is, smileyyyy :D
Ah yes, the ever-present overprotective siblings. It was both funny and sad with how both Canada and Ukraine tried to assure their respective siblings that the other sibling wouldn't have any objections to their union.
This is building up into a very interesting piece. I'm eager to see where you're taking this (aside from the obvious proposal, of course)!

Man, this is so Romeo&Julietesque xD Your Salv family interaction was absolutely adorable, the "sisters" and "little Russias" thrown into it, and Ukraine's assesment of why Russia keeps them close...bawww ;_;
I liked your description of triumphant!Femerica, that's not something you see everyday. I wonder if the relations between her and Russia will change as Ukraine and Canada get closer? or maybe she'll just turn to China directlyXD I like that Canada and Ukraine here are sweet and gentle and easy-going but not pushovers; they both tell their siblings that they have the intention of carrying through with the diplomatic bond and all. Daww~~

I love the way you wrote about how their situations parallel each other and the last part that ties it all together so flawlessly. This is absolutely lovely work, anon. <3

34. America’s moods were as fleeting as a teenager's-which was really what she was, frankly. So when she apologized to Canada, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Well, it was, because another trait of America's was that she had the attention span of a gnat, and rarely remembered their quarrels long enough to apologize. But this time she did

So I said it would be a short fill. And that I would skip to the proposal part soon. Well, I lied. xD
We're closing in, though.

310. The three hundred tenth day was the day Ukraine visited to see her new embassy in Ottawa. It had been funded by donations from the all the Ukrainians now living in Canada.
Ukraine never said how happy that made her.
473. April 30, 1993 was the four hundred sixty-third day, and was the day Canada received a package in the mail. It was addressed to him in careful handwriting, and marked ‘Fragile’ and ‘International Express’ with a big red stamp.
He opened it to find masses of bubble wrap and tissue paper. Someone had obviously been worried about the contents. Beneath all the protective packaging was a basket, filled with small, round things wrapped in yet more bubble wrap. And there was a note. It was dated April 18th, and read, in the same neat print in which the box was addressed;
Believe me, I don't care one whit that you lied. Especially since everything from the 81st day on made me smile derpily and squeal in my head "Awww! They're so ADORABLE together!"
Can I say that I love the way you work historical events into this here and there? And the way you characterize Canada and Ukraine? And the way you manage to encapsulate the progression of their relationship (especially with the final four sentences!) in as few words as possible? And the way you write them as so cute and sweet and warm and adorable that has reignited my love for this pairing like whoa?

Man, that description in 2 made me sad; poor Ukraine! She's so beautiful and sweet! These two were meant for each other ^^
Enormous cheers to you for having a Femerica during victorious post-Cold War times. I can't wait to see her!
