Thank you so much for this comment, it makes my day as a writer. Seriously, I am blushing here, writing is so not my strongest area.
I had a hard time deciding how to go about this fic, especially since Spain's portrayal is rather one-dimensional, and I'm glad that it worked out. I wasn't even intending to write the other characters in, but decided to go ahead. (France is my favorite character, but I admit he makes such a delicious villain lol.)
Ah yes, I would write more Spain/America if the inspiration ever came! Rare pairings will be the death of me, but in this case, I convince myself it is worth it~

This was wonderful. As someone living in the Southwestern United States, the connection between America and Spain is kind of obvious to me (especially with the lack of Mexico-tan and South America-tans), but I'd never thought anyone would ever write anything with them together!
I loved the Spanish at the end. After all that Spain went through with England and France during the course of this story, it seemed a bit victorious to see America speak his language after the other two staked claim to him.

Writer!anon appreciates the comment and agrees that there should be more Spain and America, even if there were a Mexico-tan in the future.
Out of the three main colonial powers, I think America has more of Spain's temperament, and they would probably get along quite well in modern times. Of course I'm also a little biased. *lives in the Southwest, too*
Ahh darn it's finished. The whole story was so enjoyable and the characters so IC and realistic that I kinda lost myself in reading it. What makes this story stand out so much is that it just isn't like the usual formula for so many of the other stories on this meme which really gets so tiresome after awhile.
Amazing. You took an idea and ran with it and created a stunning piece of literature. The last bit at the end was a beautifully sweet touch.
Thank you so much for sharing. You have made one anon's extremely stressful week so much better.
No, thank you for coming up with such a great prompt! I just wanted to tell a good story, something unique and worth reading, and I'm very glad that you enjoyed my offering.
"stunning piece of literature"?!!! I am blushing with glee. Thank you again!

I was just thinking that there should be more to do with Spain and America, considering Spain landed there first out of the European powers at the time. And then I find this!

Ohh, I can't express my love for this fic accurately. It's so wonderfully thoughtful and wistful and it makes so much sense. Spain was beautifully characterized... Just, in a word, perfect.

This anon always pictured Antonio to be like this. He's sort of pushed around and passive, but is very caring about others and very hard working. I love the imagery of baby Alfred and the horses, and teared up when they were going to split. If I ever am able to find time, I shall fan art this for your sake writer anon!

I'm so glad to see some America/Spain stuff! People always seem to forget that Spain was essentially the first country to find the continents. And like others before me, I especially loved Antonio's characterization. This is one of the best things I've read here. Anon-reviewer loved you, author-anon! <3
