Yay! You updated! (OO,) I just love Mattie when he's all brotherly and know how to break (unspoken) rules if it's for a good cause (love).

*waits avidly for part 4* Oh Al, in a way, you *are* also a tsundere.

[xtwilightzx]

Oh, Al is definitely a tsundere. Sometimes I think he's more of one than Arthur, because Arthur is at least obvious about it.

I'm glad you're enjoying this!

“Allô, vous avez atteint la chambre des malédictions et la magie noire. Courir pour toi la vie.”
LOL! Oh France, he's so dramatic. xDD

U-um, if you would like, I have a suggestion for the last sentence if not, the next few sentences are merely a figment of your imagination! It might sound better as "enfuyez-vous à toutes jambes" or "enfuis-toi à toutes jambes" if you want it to be less formal.

LOVE this chapter! It's always really delightful when a US/UK fic doesn't solely focus on only America and England, but includes in-depth interaction with other characters. ♥ A-and, aww man, the IMing. ♥ You can really tell a lot about someone by looking at how they write and I love the way you've portrayed and developed each character through that medium.

Can't wait for the last chapter; GO GET HIM, AMERICA *exciteeeeed~!* ♥

Eeee, thank you very much for the sentence suggestions! I have no grasp of French beyond a few common words and went to the best online translator I knew to get the translation, so I really appreciate having a French speaker's input *has changed the sentence ♥*

I had always wanted to write about the US/UK relationship from an outsider's POV and play with the interactions and different perspectives, so I'm glad that's working for you. Canada suited that role perfectly, as someone important to both America and England but not emotionally blinded by the relationship. France just weaseled his way in with his flamboyant and not-so-subtle meddling XD.

Oh, America's going to get him all right. Because Canada would have serious words to say to him if he failed~

Matthew, OH MATTHEW, you make me love him so much! Adding on to the Matthew-love because you write him so wonderfully, and he's such a quiet...catalyst? And such a bro. Argh, the bromance between him and Alfred is adorable.

I have nothing much coherent to say to this chapter, except you go, Alfred! ♥

[xtwilightzx]

I'm so happy about all the love Matthew's getting. Catalyst is an apt word to use for him, because everyone thinks catalysts have to be loud and present and start things off with a bang, but most of the time, catalysts are quiet things that set off a little chain reaction that converts into something huge. And writing this fic has made me realize just how much I love the bromance between him and Al.

//fist bumps~~

Yeah, that Youtube video. So much bromance in it. And the best thing is that it came straight out of America. No denial there, Alfred.

♥ Thank you for commenting!
