Love how its written I can't wait to read more! :D

Very nice story. This is one of my favorite pairings. :D

Everyone seems very in-character, especially America. I wonder how long it will take for Liet to warm up to him and become the cheerful housekeeper we see him as in the comic and anime.

I love your attention to detail. I can't wait to see the two of them actually interact and have a conversation that has a bit more depth since America is awkward and poor Toris is exhausted at the moment. I love that last little bit that Toris thought was bad manners that America ran out at breakfast. perhaps its something that will come up later once Toris settles. I wonder if the little cursing alien is going to show up, or do you want to keep it a bit more realistic without slapstick?

I like it so far! ;D

I love the setting and the idea that Toris would be working for Alfred. So Toris is kinna like Alfred's wife now. :B Nyahaha..

I love the way you write and the flow of the story. I'm really enjoying it so far. I do hope that you will continue this, seeing that it would make me sad to see such a good fic discontinued. Anyway, I will patiently wait for the next update! Have a happy writing. :)

This is a really nice beginning! I hope you'll continue.

Finally got around to reading this! Figured better late than never, ne? Any way, on to the actual review.

I love your descriptions, first of all. The apartment having the smell of old, unwashed, wrinkly flesh is an absolutely stunning opening. Not a pleasant one mind you, but still marvelous. It really sets you right there in the thick of how Liet is perceiving things. The whole idea of description is to take you there, and I think anyone who has set foot in a nursing home will know exactly what Liet is smelling, and how difficult that is to get around. In a sense it smells very much of mortality, and if this is a fic proceeding the Great Depression - as I think it is - that is an absolutely wonderful way of starting the story.

The invincible suitcase is also a wonderful plot device. I can literally see Liet pleading with the damn thing. It's both a humerus and pitiful sight, and as you know conflict of emotions is wonderful to read! I imagine this is a sort of analogy, of something quite abused, but that stubbornly sticks to what it's good at. What that is? I have my opinions, but I'm more interested in seeing how it unfolds. Also, Liet's dialogue there is quite good. Shows his distress at the situation quite well. You always want a few lines to speak volumes, and I think that one does it perfectly.

The letter to Felix is almost painful. I know I've sat down and started writing something, only to realize I didn't quite have a voice for it. Wanting to reach out, and not really being able to is hard, especially with someone you can easily talk with, and that you're close to. It really isolates you, and that is readily apparent here. I hope he'll be able to either finish that letter, or write Felix a new one.

That song! Clever, clever! Using it as time progression. Helps to give this a more visual feel. Very good call on that one. Not to mention the song itself is marvelous. It sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it. Perhaps thats better for now.

I think thats all I've got for the moment. In short, your Liet is very well developed to a detailed, visualized picture and you're small details really cement the story as a whole. Keep at it!

I really like the beginning of this! And USLiet is one of my fav pairs :3 I'm waiting for the update :)

Interesting. Different meeting scene then usual. Poor Toris, he doesn't seem to have much luck. On the bright side not all was lost! Can't wait to see what else will happen, especially as you set this up as a fic that will stretch over a long period of the century.
