I completely love it! Russia/America is my current OTP and this is crazy well written.

But I do have a slightly OCD suggestion. If Russia spends so much time on planes, he probably only takes one carry on to skip bag checking. Especially if he only needs clothes for a week and has stuff at Alfred's.
Sorry. Incredible amounts of lost luggage have taught me this well.

Thank you! This makes me feel better since I self-beta'd.

I'm sorry, it doesn't make much sense, does it? I've only gone through the dreaded baggage claim once and I don't have experience outside of that. ^^;

Yeah, the story is great and everything else seems completely legit.

And it's really not that big of a deal. It would make sense to anyone who hasn't spent three days in plane clothes in Paris (you look silly, lemme tell you). :)

I think that's one of the best comments I've ever received. I've never been told that my
fic was legit. :D

Man, that must have sucked. I only flew from NC to FL to get on a cruise ship. XD

Uwah!! Gosh, I started reading and couldn't stop. ;A; I love the way you write.. I actually frolicked to the bathroom to put in my contacts so I can read the rest more easily. Thank you for starting out my day so enjoyably. <3<3<3

I'm really glad to read this! Seriously, this makes my day. :D I'm so happy when my stories, even if it's just a tiny bit, make someone's day brighter. :)

Though, I'm a bit paranoid here, did you read all of it? There's four parts, and I'm afraid when people comment/review the first part, I'm sort of like 'er, I hope I correctly linked the next part ^^;.'

X\\D Aw shucks, you don't even know. I was all sorts of excited, and I've never even shipped this couple before (I do now, believe me! XD)

I posted that message before I finished, but I did read it all. <3 And gosh, I loved the ending. I had butterflies fluttering in my stomach with how cutesy they were. <3<3<3

And America, you cook like your mother. >:P

[sageofwind_21]

YES I'VE CONVERTED SOMEONE! >D Even since I watched the first ten eps. of Hetalia, I was all like RUSSIA/AMERICA OMG <3. Kind of funny considering my political views.

Okay :) The ending just... I blew my mind when I finished it. The title was just thrown in there at the beginning because I'm really OCD and MUST have a title before I really get started with a fic, and the title is from a song that was on a USUK FST. So, I'm typing on a Netbook I borrowed on the day the fic's due, and I'm trying to figure out how to tie everything together and then OMG I THOUGHT DEEP MAN and there you go. Just, gah, I love writing them cutesy, but I do have some fics where they're angsty.

Er, yeah, 'bout that... ^^;
