Thank you for your kind words, Anon. I'm used to having very little attention paid to me. (Yes, I'm just like normal universe Canada sometimes) There are some things that I'm working with that I can't put up just yet, because I haven't gotten there yet.:) And who knows who the other guy was (Besides the author)-- Iggy couldn't hear him talking, just Matthew.
If I recall correctly, a fever means economic recession/depression. :)

This is awesome! I feel so anxious to see England's reaction once he knows. The build up is great.
One question, is this a history AU? Aka did Canada break away from England in the second chapter? Sorry, I don't know my history very well and I am easily confused.

It's a history AU. Canada broke away from England about 50 some years earlier, and cut all ties-- whereas in regular history, their declaration was around 1867, but were still tied up with the UK enough so that when WWI was declared, Canada automatically got pulled in. Things are different here, obviously. :)

“Competent.” England sighed, and slouched into a chair. He should get some tea before the meeting, but he couldn't be arsed. “I've been living with rumors. My representatives have dealt with American officials-- however none have seen anyone matching his description at functions where it would make sense for one of us to be present

Holy shit, I just discovered this fill and it's amazing. I don't even know what to say; I mean, this prompt could have ended up as cheesy melodrama (think "Lifetime movie" D:), but instead it ended up moving, with believable emotions on everyone's parts. Even though England's emotions and reactions were believable, I was afraid Canada's would be too forgiving; but you really stepped up to the plate, Anon. <3
And now I can't wait to see America and how he's changed. And how he and England interact. ... Someone just linked me to this fill without explaining what it was, so I don't even know if it's a shippy (USUK) story or not. I think I'm happier to leave myself in the dark until that's revealed, for once, because this is going to be interesting either way. <3
Honestly, the most moving part so far was how America's laugh instantly struck a chord in England as if he'd last heard it the day before.

<3 Thank you. You just made my day. :) And Hell is a beautiful surround-sound system with a brand new beautiful widescreen television stuck on Lifetime. For eternity. (I cringe at that channel.)

I really really like this! It's fantastic so far, the emotions have been great. I like that Canada seems to have become the dominant twin. :D And I am really looking forward to America's appearance. (psst, don't forget to post updates on the fills list so everyone can find this. ;) )

Thank you. :) I hope I updated in the correct place-- I was confused before, and went to an alternate FF.net account with a different fill. Which also will be finished... someday.

Anon, I hardly know what to say to you. This is--it's--well, it's left me speechless with admiration and adoration. I love alt histories and this one is pushing all my buttons. This might be my favorite alt history in Hetalia fandom, in fact. II have no idea who you are but I most sincerely hope you'll deanon once this is finished, as I would like nothing more than to read your other stories.

*blush* Thank you. I love alternate histories as well, and honestly, blind kink requests usually just scream at me to fill them. (only been reading this site for a couple of weeks now). This and the one that I have on my 'secret' FF.net account are the only Hetalia fics that I have put up anywhere. :) When I get this finished, I'll post the link to the other story.:)

War is hell.
Arthur wasn't entirely certain just who had made that statement, or when at the moment, however he could testify that it was true in many ways. He couldn't force the images from his memories of the things that had been happening to his neighbors by his neighbors

Celebrations were well underway, as he stood in the middle of the square near the hospital's drive. People-- his people-- joyous at the ceasing of hostilities, of the end of war, of families to be reunited, of no more young men being sent off to die in a foreign land. People. His people were happy

Aw, your characterization of Arthur fits in so well with canon (and my head-canon); I'm thinking of the way he silently watches Alfred disappear into the crowd, yes, but especially of the way he desperately, fearfully clutches onto the shred of hope Francis offers him. It seems like something he didn't dare to hope for himself, really.
Pessimism is like that-- you desperately /want/ to believe in good things, but somehow the bad things that have happened in the past keep throwing themselves at you... But then again, there's always a ray of sunshine that pops in that gives a moment of bliss...
