-I really wanted to use 'Vater' instead of 'Vati.' 'Cuz I really think that the two would use the more respectful term, but it makes the Germans feel close to their dad, ne? -I didn't realize how long it's gotten. I just typed and typed, so yes, the flow is strange. -The smudge...is not a smudge, poor thing. -Battery tests...I wonder how many people still take those though. They're kinda like a series of mock exams made to scare students into studying. But the ones in the stories are graded, so good luck to those guys. -Not much BTT action. Oops. But the underlying mechanics is there. -Megane!Prussia when he's serious is A!A's own kink. XD (The ones who would have complained if he stole a pair would be Ludwig, Roderich, or Arthur.)
I love the subtle characterization in this fill, how you don't have to hit us over the head to show us what everyone is like and how they interact.
How you wrote this was really engaging. It was interesting having an entire story focused on a character whose point of view we never saw from. You pulled it off wonderfully, and I think this story was made even better by seeing everything from so many different points of view.
This story is wonderful and my only complaint would be that it just ends too damn soon. I'd love to see more of this AU from you!
Great job, A!A, keep up the good work!

It wasn't intended to jump POV's, but nothing was really planned, and it just came together in the end. Though I'd like to make a quick note that the cheating scene was supposed to be in Gilbert's POV, but it ended up looking like a general observer one.
I'll see if I can whip up an omake for it. (I also hope the fun doesn't stop there :3)
Yes, poor Matthew isn't recognized by cameras either.
