Oh, man. That was brilliant. You guys really get it, don't you?

[pyrrhiccomedy]

...I can't tell is this is sarcasm. It sounds like sarcasm. Is this sarcasm? D=

[neocloud9]

I'm not smart enough to use sarcasm. I was being completely serious! XD

Relationships are complicated beasts, but you guys seem to be able to key into this one with the greatest of ease~

[pyrrhiccomedy]

*relief!* *but you're smart as hell, so, wait XD*

I'm really glad you think this feels like a real relationship. That's what we're going for, more than anything. =D (And...maybe a happy ending.)

(Also, sorry for being all "WAIT WHAT." I secretly live in constant fear that everybody is only humoring me. ._.)

So, it's already been established that this was painful and awkward and painfully awkward and any other number of synonyms. Also, it's made me come to the conclusion that Russia and America are masochists, 'cause really, that's the only explanation for this... this trainwreck.

And I haven't actually read all these stories yet, although I've read a few, some of them chronologically out of order. Not that that really matters all that much to me. It doesn't need to make sense! I can make it make sense if I have to. Or, y'know, just infer what has and has not happened via my vague knowledge of history and whatnot. So yeah.

... I'm not really sure where I was going with this. I'm just going to go off and catch myself up now. *disappears*

You know, I'm curious, does TCE make any sense if you read it out of order? Like, we sorta mean for each chapter to be able to exist as its own ~thing,~ since each one covers a discrete historical event (generally speaking), but at this point I really have absolutely no clue. >_>

[neocloud9]

I've only read the post-WWII stuff and it makes perfect sense to me...

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Ah, I'm so glad! =DD

[poisonedhotcake]

This is probably the most single frustrating chapter if TCE ever.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

And that's saying something!

[all_sundays]

This chapter is so good,painful and real-you describe feelings perfectly. Thank you (you two are awesome)!
Russia with the silk scarf makes me think about Eurovision and Peter Nalitch - and that is really funny, because now i can't stop picturing Russia on the stage singing(or wailing-Nalitch did that) with a portrait of America in his hand, well that's crazy :-D
Now it's time for tea to calm my aching heart :-)

[wizzard890]

I am not-so-secretly kind of a clothes whore, so if there is an opportunity to lavish attention on someone's apparel in TCE, Pyrrhic humors me and lets it happen. XD Hence, the silk scarf. Because oh my God, France would totally just fall back into his old habits of dressing Russia, and the thought of that just makes me all fluttery~

And Eurovision. My God, Eurovision. Russia didn't do so hot this year, did he? (Belarus still voted for him, though. Predictable sister is predictable.)

[windmilltilter]

This chapter was like a punch in the gut--over and over again.

Why are you two so good at what you do? Your turning me into a masochist! ;_;

Oh god, the British Invasion is going to be physical agony.

[wizzard890]

This pairing has turned us ALL into masochists, to some degree. ._.

And kinky bastards. I was just saying to Pyrrhic as we wrote this, I didn't have a marking kink before we started TCE.
