Hello,
I'm a french reader who went here to ask you authorization to translate your work "Lost Generation". I know that there is another person is authorized for this work, but he can be found nowhere. Be it this person, or an eventual translation... And I would like very much translate your fan fiction.
For the quality of the translation, I can prove you that I'm an experienced translator (I'm an admin and translator in a french translation team). Also, I understand more English than I take it, so sorry for the enormous spelling mistakes.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Néo Molly

Really hope to see more of this story...the characters intrigued me so and I am worried about the major character deaths.

YOU CRAZY PERSON YOU SUDDENLY CHANGING THE TITLE AND MAKING THIS GEM IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WITHOUT RETURNING TO MY EMAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN -

... And yet I still love you! And your fics! And for some unfathomable reason, I haven't added you to my fave authors yet huhuhu - doing so NOW! *heartttt*

But my hearttttt! This is done? Or halfway done. But AHHH all those spoilers from your last message... AND I AM LOVING THE SHIP IN HERE HAHA. And Roddy and Gil - huhu, fighting like an old married couple - but what will they be ending? WHAT *explodes*

You can count on me for Contrapasso! :D Finally entering WWII - can't wait to see your depiction of that universe.

Oh Gil, you're going to regret telling Ludwig it's okay to cabaret himself...gotta love how Gil's okay with "everyone else" doing it but we all know when it comes to his brother...ouch!

And I love Roddy and Gil's relationship, they're seated like a seesaw, one has the upper hand sometimes, one has the lower. They gotta learn to balance!

Love this chapter and all the workings of the club - and Antonio too, always fun to see jealous!Gilbert.

I... Need... To breathe!
But I can't. Your words are magical, that's it. They leave me speechless every time. And knowing it would be the last chapter of this part added to the emotion... If I can properly phrase how I feel right now. It seems like this review will be pure nonsense, sorry D:
This chapter feels bittersweet to me again. The situation isn't bright, it's so sad how Ludwig doesn't feel the right to be fully himself... But only what people want him to be. So much suffering for him, the glimpses at his state of mind nearly killed me. Plus, I wonder. A lot. I wonder how the Russia/Germany will evolve, and what will happen to Alfred. I wonder what Roderich has to say regarding Ludwig's show of that night. I wonder what you're up to in the next part (I wonder who is going to die, too, I won't deny it) and I wonder (hope?) if things will get better between Roderich and Gilbert... Things have been said, that needed to be said, so maybe... ButI don't know. I didn't really understand the sentence "This ends now." What is Gilbert referring to? His relationship with Roderich I guess? (If so, one more heartbreak for me)
There comes the sweet part. Gilbert finally expressed that he cares in his awkward, clumsy way. By actions, if not by words. I could see the big brother here. But more importantly, Ludwig noticed too. That his brother cares for him in a way but can't easily express it.
I can't help but feeling sad regarding Bye Bye Blackbird's end, and yet I'm awfully excited for Contrapasso... I must say, it is very rare that I reread fanfics I loved, but yours are even more special : I reread them all the time x) (On my phone in the subway or at uni? Must be rereading Bye Bye Blackbird...) I just... miss your characters and universes at some point. I said it before but it strikes me every time how hypnotizing your works are! I'm an addict.
So, I wanted to thank you for sharing your amazing works with us. Have a nice time writing their upcoming adventures! I wish you happy holidays and the best for 2017 :)

Another great chapter featuring Gil's past! You know, in a way, Friedich reminds me of Roderich - both married women they did not love for family...(And I despise Friedich - his poor wife!)

There goes Gilbert, the "other partner" in a marriage and he'll do so again. I feel sorry for him despite that - he really felt for Friedich and he suffered for it so much. God, what an awful set of circumstances, with Gilbert taking the heavy brunt of it. I have a feeling it'll play up like this sometime in the future, pawn that he is...

Great chapter!

Oh gosh, what a great ending to this first part! Ludwig, Ludwig - you're going so far, so fast: really need to reign in there for a moment. Especially considering the turning of the times dead ahead...(I'm so scared to read the upcoming installment, knowing that characters are going to be dropping like flies - but I can't wait nonetheless. Even though I just finished a fanfic from another fandom that ended so devastatingly - but here I go again! Fanfiction makes us so masochistic, don't it?)

Poor Ludwig, with his absorbent play at personality - like a sponge, sucking up what others what for him, so much so that it dilutes his own true wants, the desires of his own heart. He seems to be approaching things backwards and upside down; all roundabout. He's seventeen yeah, in all the wrong ways. And I feel so much for Roddy as well - he's had quite the hand stirring the pot, but it's hard to see him where he is now, how he is now. He too is playing, this time with a mask not a sponge.

But I feel for all three of them at the moment, Roddy, Lutz and Gil - they're all three ricocheting off each other in all the wrong ways, bouncing off the poor life decisions they've made/been...helped into. Reminds me of a bunch of stars imploding on contact. But now is not the time for anarchy in the ranks, especially for what's about to come when they turn the corner into a new and horrible era!

All I can think is...what will happen? I'm afraid to find out, yet here I await the next installment with gusto!

So happy writings and a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you. May the New Year shine bright for you! Until next time! :D

LOVED this! I can't believe it's over, but I'm eagerly looking forward to part two! :D

I've been following the story for a while and honestly, it's one of the best I've ever read. I love how you do the characters and keep accuracy of the time period as well as shifting from light hearted times to their darkest moments. Honestly I love every bit and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Gilbert's past is difficult (and he's from Dresden...eh). Shell shock in those days was atrocious, that's still something the modern day treatment needs to work on.

I really enjoyed the peek into Gil's past, it really makes his choices easier to understand and sympathize with. (And Ludwig is pretty gosh darn adorable.)

But even with the circumstances of Gil's teacher - the man is still an utter prick. Testing the waters, grooming him a bit like that.

Ah Roddy, if you're not careful you'll turn out to be a real bitter man one of these days. Interesting to see how Gilbert takes both the praise and the blame of the way Roddy's life has, is going.

I admit, I'm a fan of SpaAus and it's interesting to see the "relationship" they have in this fic. Poor Feliks though, he so often gets the short end of the stick! Roderich's pimp cane though...nice, especially when he used it to kick ass. I like that "behind-the-scenes" girls and their lovers thing going on. A club that operates on multiple levels! Kinda reminds me of the movies Cabaret and Pretty Baby in some ways.

Roderich's and Gilbert's relationship, they're bad for each other and perfectly good as well. I doubt they'll ever be able to keep away from each other too long.

Aw gosh, I speed read through your story when I had more time and I didn't leave reviews! So now, I'm back and re-reading it again more slowly and letting things sink in and will try and review each chapter 'cause you deserve it :D

I love the world you've carved out for these characters! I feel as if I were to reach through my screen, I'd fall side by side into their steps, their streets - their sorrows and their fleeting bits of happiness.

I like your writing style - it's straight to the point, simple and understated; no fuss and feathers and it reads real refreshing.

So here I go again, diving into your words (though I'm half afraid that all out favorites are going to end up dead - or worse, unhappy.) Argh!

So when I first got the notif for this, I was cramming for a major exam (well, in medical school, all exams are major exams) - so just imagine how much I screamed when my laptop beeped and an email notif re: update for this appeared! Despite everything else I needed to cram, I NEEDED TO SEE THE UPDATE. I read about half of it before realizing the exam was in TWO HOURS, so I sadly had to put this down... but I returned to it right after the exam!
And mannn... you put off my misery regarding that exam haha.

Loving the new (probably transient?) pairing in there. And Roderich's turning into a bitter old man. Hang in there, Roddy. PRAUS has something better in store for you. Right, PRAUS? *nudge* 8D And huhu that foreshadowing~ Can't wait to see what you've prepared for everyone!

*waits eagerly for the second half*

I'm so glad you updated! I found this fic recently and I'm hooked, much to my dismay. Half the time I wished I have never found this story it's so darn sad and frustrating! Yet, I find myself checking manually if you've updated.
Your writing is wonderful, there's so many undertones of emotion and story. I went back and reread your work, and I found my self almost analyzing it, picking up every detail I may have missed.
I know things have to get worse, but gosh I just want them to find contentment just for a moment before anything worse happens. Great work!

Oh my God, oh God, I wasn't ready for this ! You should have seen me yesterday evening when I got the mail... I nearly stopped breathing while my heart skipped a beat, probably !
Anyway... This chapter was a pleasure to read. I mean, it's not all happy and all but still. I'm starting to loose my words after every chapter, I guess...
Once again I felt so many different emotions, this is unbelievable. At first I felt really bad and mostly sad for Gilbert, who is alone once again and... Painful how the simple fact of being alone in a flat reminds him such horrible things. My poor baby. I just want him and Roddy to fix it up and realise that besides their stubborn pride they soooo need each other !
Then I felt relieved for Ludwig things didn't get too far. Or at least all went "well". I was also glad for the Alfred thing and the way he doesn't use him as a mark, as he had been used himself in the past. Ah, Feliciano broke my heart ! I mean this was to be expected, him being "perfect" as Lovino put it (he broke my heart too, his foreshadowed backstory is painful once again!) and not okay with his feeling, I knew it would be like that, but... Ah, maybe a tiny part of me hoped that *maybe* love could be stronger than that. No way, it doesn't work like that, right? I understand Ludwig's reaction though. But seeing him hurt like that was... Well, once again, painful. (With all the "painful" I use one could start wondering if I love the story, truth is I don't like it, I adore it. Funny how I love to make myself suffer, eh?)
And now Gil and Roderich start arguing about politics? I'd said Gilbert deserved to be reminded a few things. Maybe this will get him out of the infernal cicle he entered. Sadly, all his efforts to be nice to Roddy and Lutz were ruined by a simple report...
This chapter was a little treasure of bittersweet feelings. Some things went well, most of the events went wrong or foreshadow that it will go wrong and get darker... I don't know, I feel like there's a lot of melancholy in this chapter. Nostalgy. Like everyone is letting the past go with regrets. Ludwig says farewell to the love of his childhood. The gap between Roderich and Gil gets deeper, we can barely remember they've been happy before. And it hurts. And the whole thing was beautiful and sad and very well-written. Thank you for posting this chapter !
By the way, I watched The Blue Angel a couple of days ago (in German with no subtitles so I'm not sure I understood all well xD) and all I could think of was Ludwig... Not surprising but it reminded me how much I wanted to read the next chapter, funny that you brought it to us just a few days later !
So now I just should get back to my homework... Ugh.
Thanks again for your amazing work on all your stories ! Have a nice day ;)
