This was very fun to read. Since it's set in a call center, I couldn't help but remember the Zappos commercials, Outsourced, and this story I've once read in Chicken Soup For the Soul that just broke my heart to pieces.

It was truly a nice story to read c:

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it! =D I had to look up the Zappos adverts (yay for youtube XD) and Outsourced and I can certainly see what you mean XD Outsourced sounds a bit like Mumbai Calling that we had over here, so I think I'm going to have to check that out =3 The story from Chicken Soup For the Soul sounds interesting~ I hadn't heard of that till you mentioned it either, but I think I'll be looking it up ^^ Which one is it in?

Thank you so much for the comment! =D
Although I hadn't been planning on one, I seem to have got carried away and thought of a sequel as well, so I may end up writing another fic for this universe now ^^

Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the story D: And our volume of Chicken Soup For the Soul was sold in the garage sale I think. That, or it's in our cluttered basement. But I recall our copy was the third one; it was a story about a boy calling the phone line's operators c:

Ah okay, I'll try and check that out ^^ Thank you~

Oh my goodness, first of all, Arthur as a children's book author? That's precious beyond words ♥ How old is Ludwig at the moment? It sounds like a 30-year-old wrote that letter, but that's what makes it cute xD. I like how Arthur wrote about the Sidhe, too. Fantasy and mythology is obviously right up his alley. Thanks for writing!

In modern day AUs I always like to think of Arthur as a children's book author (I figure he'd be great at telling and writing stories with all of the fantasy around his magic and 'imaginary friends') and Gilbert doing engineering of some kind /is biased so I figured I could wriggle it in here XD
Ludwig's supposed to be somewhere in the region of 11 or 12, but he's so straight laced that I can't imagine him writing anything informally, especially if he was trying to impress someone~

Thank you so much for leaving a comment, and I'm really glad you enjoyed reading it! =D
Although I hadn't been planning on one, I seem to have got carried away and thought of a sequel as well, so I may end up writing another fic for this universe now ^^ I'm not sure when it'll get done though, I have a tonne of other stuff I need to finish first ^^'

I will never go back to thinking of Arthur in any other profession ever again c: I have to say, I love the idea of Gilbert as an engineer. A lot of the time if you look under the surface of the sillier characters, there is great depth there. In my head canon Alfred is fabulous at physics and sciences in general :D

Of course! I know what you mean about having to get so much other stuff done .__. /looks sadly at To-Do List.

hollyrose_hime June 15 2011, 11:02:54 UTC

Yeah, I can definitely see Alfred being into physics and the sciences~ I think that's mainly because of NASA for me though. Though this makes me want to read something about Gilbert and Alfred working together on a group project or Gilbert helping Alfred with one of his modules or something XD

Haha, yeah the list seems to just get longer and longer TT_TT

This is really awesome work and I can't believe you kept me in the dark about it asdfgh! As much as I cooed over Arthur being a children's author, I enjoyed the image of him working in a call centre in a shirt and tie a lot more... yummy xDD

This makes a cute oneshot, but if you do plan on extending it... a scene of Arthur rushing to meet a deadline please?

hollyrose_hime June 15 2011, 11:13:42 UTC

;A; I didn't mean to! I was sure that I'd mentioned bugging my sister about Call centre stuff when I spoke to you on msn, but I guess I forgot. =(
Haha, you would I guess that's not too surprising =P

Heh, I actually do have at least one more part I want to do now, so if I do carry on that'll prolly end up happening in a third instalment I think.
;A; When did this turn into such a monster? It was meant to be a drabble dammiiiiiit!
