Loved the fic
Great job!

[ellamequiere]

Thanks!

This... is awesome. I love this fic. Heck, I love all of the fic you write, especially the ones that actually have stuff that tie into history.
(PS. Totally used your other Napoleon-era fics to help me study for my AP Euro test on Napoleon and the French Revolution.)

[ellamequiere]

I'm so glad <3. (Glad I could be of assistance! Um. I do my best to fact-check everything ;;;; )

[alexvan5]

(HAHA got a 98. I think you did a good job xD)
Also... is it just me are are you only one of the few Hetalia fic writers who set stuff in the Napoleonic period? There's just so much... THERE that you can write about and I rarely find anything.

[ellamequiere]

(Awesome xD)

Huh... I'm sure I've read some other stuff... *checks*.

Ok, in my tags I see a Frederick the Great / France (http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/17337.html?thread=49982905#t49982905 - not quite the right era, but still awesome!), a War of 1812 fic (http://pyrrhiccomedy.livejournal.com/4663.html - right era, wrong continent), a few Revolutionary War fics (http://pyrrhiccomedy.livejournal.com/4274.html , http://pyrrhiccomedy.livejournal.com/38105.html#cutid1 - I HIGHLY recommend these)... You're right, I don't see any Napoleon. Weird! I'm sure other people are doing it, and I'm just not looking in the right places... Because, DAMN but the slash, seriously!

Damn you integrate dark sex so well. It's creepy and fascinating, and that ending really puts it over the edge. Battlefield fuckage, oh my god. I love this depiction of England and France, especially England, I get so tired of reading jittery, bottoming England in fics. Oh, I love this.

Fff, I love Napoleon's bad ass return from exile. Showing up back in France like "CAN'T BE TAMED, WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW?" And then Waterloo. Still, what a bamf.

[ellamequiere]

Waterloo, man... "The nearest run thing you ever saw in your life," says Wellington. That dude, bad ass only BEGINS to cover it. If he weren't real, I'd say he was a Mary Sue.

(Glad you liked the fic <3. I'm still waiting on the flames... The last time I portrayed England as perpetrating noncon, there was a huge eruption...)

[meridianvase]

And he made one of my favorite quotes: "A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets." If that quote was a person I would marry it. The fact that he wrote a romance novella only makes me love him more.

Where else did you write noncon!England? I say as long as there's historical support, there's no limits to how you can portray nations in these fics.

[ellamequiere]

He did?! Why did I not know this! (I have a vague unrequited France/Napoleon I'm-fetishizing-you-in-a-quasi-sexual-way floating around in here somewhere...)

It was something on the meme. A throw-away line, actually, about England and his colonies... The fic was totally centered around somebody else. If I ever finish it, I'll post it up here.

[nakedfiction]

Oh my dear I've missed you and your lovely, creepy, dark, historical fics. I keep browsing the meme thinking I'll see you and I haven't. ;A;

Anyway, and like everyone else, I think this is fantastic. I have to admit that my favorite part was France speculating that England had rehearsed his lines. I'm not sure why, but it seemed so appropriate.

[ellamequiere]

I know, I haven't been on the meme at all recently, although there is an old Austria/Hungary/Prussia kicking around there. The problem is, I haven't been lonely enough! I only write fanfic when I'm lonely.

Glad you liked the France... also let me know if you're up for some beta time, I have an Germany/France that I'm trying to make happen (the goal is fluff, which is possibly why I'm having so much trouble with it). Lots of love--

[nakedfiction]

I saw the beginnings of the "simultaneous oral" fic, if that's what you're talking about. And being not!lonely is better than writing fanfic, in my opinion. :D

I'm totally down for reading my OTP now that finals are over and other excuses that I may have had for not getting back to you in a timely manner no longer apply. I've been working on a fluff-tastic Turkey/Egypt fill, so I'm kinda in the zone for the cuddles and kisses. :3 Send 'er my way!

[lovelycudy]

My incoherent flailing doesn't do this wonder justice. This is perfect! Oh, how I love historic stories with these two and how well you captured them.

I can't say I think England was mean. I know your take on sex and politics and, honestly, after all that England went trough before Leipzig I'd be shocked if here were any nicer. Bit don't mind me, I'm biased.

[ellamequiere]

Oh, good (it was you I was thinking of actually, since the last time there was England-based implied noncon in a story I wrote...) I'm so glad you liked it!

[lovelycudy]

Hahaha, well at least that story led to pretty interesting conversations. I guess my non-con standards are variable, lol.

[ellamequiere]

Damn straight. There's an update (finally), btw, if you're still reading it.
