This Is What We Talk About [Alfred side]
It's like an old school meeting of the mafia dons, Alfred thinks, with the table lined by the heads of each family, along with their loyal lieutenants.
Beside him, Washington D.C. rises to his feet, his voice rising as well. No, not an old school meeting, after all. Back in the day, only the dons sat at the table, only the dons spoke, sorting things out among themselves. That's what The Godfather films taught Alfred. Coppola may have lost his shine and Pacino and De Niro may have become parodies of themselves (Alfred is not entirely unsympathetic to such fates), but there is no denying the awesomeness of those films. The first two, anyhow. Yeah, in The Godfather (Parts I and II), lieutenants were there to be silent support behind their dons, letting their elders do the talking
( ... )
This was so amazing I love it! The thing about Alfred getting used to the change about himself, it was a very interesting concept. America just grew into himself but has to deal with another growth-spurt. He'll be a gompy teenager forever XD
You don't even know how excited I am for Ivan's Side :)
Author!anon is everso happy you like this so far, OP! I confess that I'm looking forward to writing Ivan's side, and really hope I don't let you down. ♥

Author!anon joins you in thanking OP most sincerely! And also thanks you for reading. Hopefully Ivan's side (which I'm working on now) will be just as enjoyable.

I love the idea of the city-tans! It's ingenious, author!anon! Much better than a human boss, really. And you captured the feelings so well, too. Could we have UST and/or smut..? XD

Thank you, Anon! The idea for City-tans came when I was doing research, looking for a specific incident or meeting to center on. I didn't find one and decided to leave that open--but I noticed that nearly all of the journalists and political analysts referred to "Washington" and "Moscow" rather than the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. or Russia (depending on the time frame). And thus an idea was born. :)

I don't want to falsely raise your expectations, so I should say that I didn't envision them with that sort of relationship for this. But this is one of my favorite pairings, so you never know what the future might hold in other stories?
B: They do it without realizing it.
