Baw, I just wanted to give America all the hugs. :( But I liked the way you wrote her.

And of course Greece and Japan are lovely and wonderful and adorable and there is no enough fic of them out there and ooooh I love them genderbent so much. Aaah.

Thank you so much for writing this!

I wanted to hug America too, but I'm sure she'll be up and ready for her next match with Japan in four years. ;)

I've made it my personal mission to give Greece and Japan as much love as possible, and I do love their genderbent selves.

You're welcome! ♥ I really enjoyed writing this fic.

What a beautiful story! I enjoyed it so very much.

I love how you write Japan, she is so touching and wonderful. So is her interaction with Greece, they are an utterly adorable couple. Her friendship with America is sweet as well. I love how brave America is in her defeat, encouraging her friend even when she's sad.

Thank you for the comment!

I believe that America would still take the time to congratulate Japan even after she was crushed by her defeat, similar to how the American players acknowledged that the Japanese players played a great game too.

...And now I see that you wrote some World Cup fics yourself. I've got to check these out too when I'm finished with work here.

Oh yes, that was a very touching moment when the American players all lined up to congratulate the Japanese. I was very impressed by the gesture since you could clearly see how hurt they were, though most of them tried their hardest to hide it - yet they still had the grace to congratulate.

This was so cute. ;3; And I love your characterization for the Nyotalia characters. And I didn't know that about the meanings of those flowers, so I even learned something from this. XD

All-in-all, it's such a sweet fic. ♥

Thank you for the comment! ♥ I got the flower meanings from the Wikipedia article on Japanese flower meanings, so hopefully they're correct.
