Yay! You updated! I feel so happy and loved!
But wow, I never knew the ending part would make me a little depressed. Their moment in the theater was wonderful! <333

You should do!

I don't know why these prompts keep getting away from me and making everyone say stupid things and depressing everyone.

Alfred is so sweet in this, it was really nice to write not-so-stupid-and-annoying Alfred.

Thank you!

[xolavander]

I don't know either. From what I see, the prompt is still the same. And I'm painfully oblivious, most people say. D:

Yes, quite right indeed. I liked Alfred in here a lot! Oh, and you are welcome too. <3

I feel bad for both of them ): I can perfectly understand why Arthur mistrusted but it's a pity the night got ruined like that. I hope things get better for them...

[redblonde7]

I'm glad you said that. I do like writing scenes with Alfred and Arthur especially when it's not entirely one person's fault. They both misunderstand and they both get hurt but it all turns out a lot better in the end. After lots of communication.

Things have got to get worse before they get better I'm afraid.

Thanks for the comment!

Painful. I don't know who I feel worse for. Missed the first piece, so I went back to read it now, and I love them both.

(You're writing is really amazing, btw. And you really have a grip on the time period!)

[redblonde7]

I know, they're both hurting at the moment. I'm glad you like them, the Victorian Era is hard and easy to write at the same time, but it's also really fun.

Thank you, I'm glad you think I can do this era well, I was worried about that. No info dump but enough details so you are aware that it's not occurring in the present.

this was great!! I really like this AU.
poor Alfred and Arthur >.< , hope Alfred can understand why Arthur misunderstood
but before that the teather moment was really cute.

[redblonde7]

Thank you!

Alfred will hopefully understand soon where Arthur is coming from. Unfortunately we see both sides while Alfred and Arthur only see one side.

I'm glad you liked it, I thought I should get some fluff in there as well.

Well, that didn't end too well... *pause* although, it could been much worse. (and hai awkward moments that are coming up in the morning! ...I think.)

[redblonde7]

A bit of an understatment although, you're right. That could have gone ten times worse if Alfred had been such a nice guy.

Oh awkward moments. USxUK is full of them.

Thanks!
