France glared at him. Russia smiled back innocently. Most of the time, he appreciated the northern nation's ability to read him, but this time he didn't. His friend was always the sharp one.
"Why didn't I just go for you, mon ami?" he said melancholically. "Life would have been so much simpler

1. What Russia says here about the pairings is actually my own theory on the matter. I'm sorry for omitting a number of words. The Ivan in my head was talking too. 2. Russia and France are BFFs...what can I say? 3. In case you're interested, they are currently showing Yevgeny Onegin in Opera National de Paris until October 11.

@anon1 Thanks a lot for that correction! I always welcome constructive criticism. :P By the way, you're pretty fast.
@anon2 But warnings extinguish excitement, doesn't it? Hahaha Well, I did promise that the comments will not alter the ending I had intended. We'll see, we'll see. I will have to apologize ahead of time if I make you hurt just a bit more. I can't help myself. Hahaha More importantly, thank you for your patronage! Comments like these make me smile

I love this so far. The characterisations are lovely; it's such a relief not to read insane!Russia for once in a fic set in the modern day, and, albeit that being most of his canon character, a France that doesn't run around naked molesting people.
The dialogue is gorgeous too - I love you for how you've charactised Russia; one of my favourite interpretations of him is his shrewdness, but his choice to remain quiet most of the time. :)
Concering current affairs... I think I would agree with anyone referencing the expulsion of the Roma. Although it might be kind-of controversial, I think this fic ESPECIALLY needs to concentrate on something that is a sore spot and pressing issue for both France and Germany. I mean, the implications that have been flying around about France and Sarkozy, and it being reminiscent of things... France and Germany are having a bit of a tiff about it at the moment, it seems :S (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11345165... )

I must say that this is pure brillaince anon. Your characterisation is spot on and I particularly like your Russia (a non-insane one always makes a nice change). I am rooting for FRUK though. Your Germany?France is adorably sweet but I'm backing Britain.

Just for an update on stance: Still backing dear Deutchland, but I kind of smell doom for him now. Guess I shall tread carefully from here onwards, D:
I actually agree completely with your analysis! The type of love Germany and England represent to France, one being stable and loving while the other being turbulent but magnificent. And I personally feel it doesn't bode well for Germany at all, from the way the story unfolds.
But like other reads have pointed out, we shall just leave the matter to your talented hands and we will see! Not trying to influence you or anything.
*hugs dear Germany close in case of an impending heartbreak*
Did you just write the best Russia ever? *:*

ShamelesslyEuropean!Anon is deeply in love with you and your Russia. Good god, what an interesting, observant, childlike but sad, and self-aware characterization of him. Every single word he says about both pairings is my headcanon, to a 't'. The really interesting thing, I believe, is that it doesn't take much (hasn't taken much in history) for both pairings to change sides, for Germany to become the crazy passionate storm for France, and England the quiet, loving and familair support (from the beginning of the century till the German-Franco pacts for EU, it was like this).
THis is why I still have hope for both, I still root for Germany even though I'm a FrUK shipper, damn, you got talent 8) (among other things now, because he's been able to grow and mature into something else in his relationship, while England makes himself and France's love fester and be unhealthy, even if what Russia says...is quite true, because France's ultimate happiness may not be what is good for him), but I still think it'd be awesome to see Francis

OMG, France and Russia as BFFs, you can have my first born for this only, anon! And your Russia is so much love &heart;
You've heard so many times already, but I must say this again: your analysis are amazing XDD!!!! I completely agree.
However, as the European!anon said it so well, that's also the reason I root for GerFra: the world has changed, each nation should (and probably, must) give up a little bit of themselves, be less selfish, learn to work together, not against each other. France, as unbelievably as it seemed, has tried (really hard) to do so, and succeed. The EU and France-Germany relation are very much admired (and envied) here in (East) Asia. We often wonder how they could achieve that, they have hundreds years of war, the most recent was still so fresh, and yet they can forgive & go forward. It gives us hope, that one day, we would be able to forget our hatred as well, one day we could build a union like EU (I know the union has its fair share of defects, but compared to our regional alliances, it's like

French anon here :)
I totally share the author's analysis of France's relationship with England and Germany and therefore, I have to admit I'm as confused as my country. My only conclusion is that only a threesome would satisfy France (but not the two others, I'm afraid).
But I'm a bit for Germany, though I feel I'm biaised cause I live near the border. But also mostly because I find him more suited for a long relationship (and nothing forbids France to take England as a lover after all *gets shot*)

"Allemagne goes out of his way to fold them for me before engaging in the act." Clinical. Clinical but oh so sweet and considerate. God, I love that detail !
"Each give you a different kind of happiness. Germaniya gives you stability and peace of mind whereas Angliya gives you excitement and chaotic beauty. Your relationship with the former fulfills your need for productivity whereas the latter provides you satisfaction in your need for destruction."
"With Germaniya, you will grow and realize into union. With Angliya, you will endlessly try destroying each other and realize identity."
From a GerFra fan : it seems we have made the same analysis !

I never commented on this but goog god, let me confess my love for you from this GerFra fan from Italy. The little tibdits on Europe news, everyone's voices, it's just exactly how I always wanted it to be and this is the fic I've always wanted to read.
A special mention goes to Prussia and Russia, because I just love how you move them. I really do.
Needless to say, I'd love this to end with a GerFra. Maybe England can be comforted by his bff Portugal ;D

"Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it."
England looked up at Canada, his brows raised as he froze in the middle of putting sugar into his tea. He'd thought that they'd gone to him to ask him (or in America's case, demand) to talk to the EU parliament about the commission's move to change the PNR system--calling for more privacy on the part of the passengers going to these three in front of him right now. Well, to be honest, it wasn't at all England's idea and he couldn't remember who brought it up to Belgium, but it was getting underway. Europe was starting to be more confident that such tight security measures were unnecessary. He hasn't given his answer yet, but he will in time. After Germany does.
He would have told them to gripe to Belgium instead, but they don't visit often. So he might as well humour them.
"I didn't think you had any problems with sugar, dear boy."
"Not that," his former colony said with a frown. "I meant what you were thinking of doing with France
