Cute. Very, very different from Russia's little 'chat' with his 'boss'. I loved this little transition chapter, especially America's depression. Then the way FDR helped build America's confidence back up. Fantastic! ♥

Very, very different from Russia's little 'chat' with his 'boss'.

The difference between FDR/America and Stalin/Russia really does break my heart. =/ Because you know they're all going to be sitting around a table at the Tehran Conference or something (with Churchill and England, another BFF boss/country relationship) and Russia's going to have to try so hard not to be completely miserable about it...

Then the way FDR helped build America's confidence back up. Fantastic! ♥

America really just needed someone in his corner, seriously. =D I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!

Thank God. GO FDR!

This sentiment works both inside and outside Hetalia. XD I just could NOT let the 1930s go by without a decent FDR appearance. Especially since there's so much Stalin--let it never be said that we are biased towards writing about misery! (We don't need to be, history did it for us with this pairing.)

Wizard should be back from her vacation tomorrow, and she'll probably have the next chapter or two all written up and ready to go! We'll most likely stick to the every four-five days schedule, that seems to have really worked for people. =D

just the little shine of sun america needed! seriously go FDR! this chapter was all sorts of sadness (america's fixation on Russia and communism) and sweet father/boss and son/country bonding! i'm glad America has someone fighting for him in his little corner of woe... the contrast between Stalin and FDR is just so obvious, and slightly painful, in this chapter.

this is the start of Al's hero complex, yes? oh my poor, poor russia! this is so sad because even when the cold war ends and they are allies again its never gonna be the same between them. america is gonna always have a part of him that wonders when russia will leave him again and russia is never going to forget how confused and hurt america looked when they met again...and the hatred between them during the cold war is always going to be there in the back of their mind's

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! FDR is totally America's awesome dad, and just what America needs right now. It really does break my heart how much Russia...doesn't have that. =/

this is the start of Al's hero complex, yes?

You know Poland's Rule? This is America's Rule: America is always right. It's gonna cause...problems, as we all know. ._.

FDR OMG ♥ D-did I just fangirl squee for a president, why I do believe I did. $_$

I fangirl FDR, too. XD This chapter is like, half character development and story and stuff, and half me going "GUYS HE WAS SUCH A COOL PRESIDENT I MEAN IT CHECK THIS OUT."

Roosevelt <3<3<3

I can't form anything else coherent, but this chapter brings up a LOT of things...

I'm glad you liked it! =D It's just a short little interlude, but I'm happy to hear it got across the Requisite Developments.
