First off, happy birthday, Trimurti! On this auspicious occasion I thought I'd leave you with a review of what I could, along with a reply to your email, hehe ^^; :D

Thank you, Gunny! I have to admit that this was exactly what I was hoping for, to see you on my birthday. I'm so touched. ;_;

I knew you would love the history of the Etruscan revolt and regulation. I may not be a history buff like you, but I can be encouraged to do well on that part if I like. ^^ And I really wish I could have gone more into Luca, since he really is awesome, but I guess that's for another story... But you haven't been reading this kind of fic lately? What are you into right now? Always happy to be an exception, of course. :D

What did you think about the ending scene? I was worried about striking a balance and not just go off the rails of melodrama, yet I wanted Louise's emotions to be real and almost tangible. Did it all seem okay?

Hehe, I thought it might be nice to pop in for your birthday at least ^^ Anyways, for your question, I'm reading (and writing) more war-focused drama these days...lots of pew pew, explosions, blood'n'guts, and TACTICS, that sort of thing. It might have to do with the fact that I'm helping time some mecha animes and such, haha ^^

Anyways, for your second question...hmm. I have to admit it may have been a bit on the melodramatic side, yeah. Since we've played FE7, we know that Pent can't be dead, so watching Louise's reaction like that seems a bit...overbearing. However, hmm...since *Louise* herself doesn't know what happens in FE7 at this point, it's hard to imagine another way of writing the scene which wouldn't underplay her understandable emotional reaction either. Hmm...
