Oh wow! <3 I really love this! There isn't nearly enough Netherlands/Canada out there and this fic was very enjoyable to read. I really liked the back and forth between the past with the history behind the events that started the tulip gift and festival each year, and the present festival and interactions between Johan and Matt.
Oh my gosh, you made me so happy with this fill. I was smiling the entire time that I read this. Not only because this is one of my favourite pairings, but because of how you wrote the interactions between those two. And it kind of makes me think of our countries' relationship with each other. And it reminds me how of how much I want to go to the tulip festival ;3;
Did you cross post at tulipsandweed? It's the Netherlands/Canada community.
Aww, thank you so much~! Hah, I'm glad it made you smile. ^^ I wasn't totally sure about the interactions, so it's good to know that they're alright.
Canada/Netherlands is probably one of my favourite pairings as well, it's just a shame there's so little of it. (And yep, I've cross-posted it to that comm. <3)
I really want to go to the festival as well. ;-; Ottawa's the city I want to live in once I move to Canada, so maybe one day, haha.
Yes! Netherlands/Canada! That was just kjsdbvwejd and it was really cute and yesssssss. I was hoping some of this pairing'd come out during the Tulip Festival, since there needs to be more of it!
Oh God this was adorable! As others have said I loved the flashbacks interspersed with the present day story. Your research really showed, and I have to say I like the name Johan for the Netherlands! :D All in all this was gorgeous, thanks for sharing!

I loved writing it too, so thank you for the awesome prompt!
And I definitely agree. The fandom needs more Netherlands/Canada; they have such wonderful history. <3

I agree 100% with you there. Perhaps there'll be some more Netherlands/Canada fics and/or art before May ends. -fingers crossed-

Haha, thanks. ^^ I've always liked the name Johan, but this is the first chance I've ever had to use it. ;D
