I don't know how I found this, exactly... but

I don't really care. The story was gorgeously written, and even though I'm not very familiar with the history here, the characters are written believably. From Denmark to Norway to Sweden to Finland to Austria, especially the last with his perpetual references to art.

Even though most of the story is serious, the comic bits with Denmark's singing and Norway's thoughts and Austria's fairly awkward behavior is enough to get me laughing though I know it's dark humor.

Thank you so much for writing this~!

Thanks very much. I still look at this and can see areas that are in need of a bit of clean up, but I was really proud of the final scene, and I'm glad that other people think that the writing is good. I wish it had more Finland. There should be more of him flaunting his stuff. XD.

This was my either my first or second time writing Austria at all. I've come to enjoy writing him, because he can be incredibly tough when he wants to be, but there's a lot of coward there, too. Or at least, what Prussia would call coward. Prussia isn't nice about Austria, no matter the century. Anyway, I enjoy Austria's awkwardness.

Sorry, about the, er, tone of the piece. I'm a fairly dark person, even when I try to write happy things ^^;.

We know Finland is awesome even when he isn't showing his stuff. ^.^ But mostly I'm glad you write about the Nordics a lot, since I am sort of fascinated by them though they're really different from where I live and everything.

Austria is the type of person who tries to be really intimidating but is too prissy to actually succeed, and he is a more interesting character for that. Austria's awkwardness is most of his charm, really. And he tends to have a different way of going about things than Prussia, who disapproves. But really they're more similar than either of them would admit.

Hetalia wouldn't have much of a fandom if it wasn't at least partially dark! History has been very dark, and I admire your way of making it work with the characters and their many, many quirks. And the happy parts are worth it.
