carbo21 chapter 2 . 3/25/2014 If my husband did that to my PS2 and PS3, they wld probably find him somewhere along the Beltway, naked with his XBox 360 sticking out of his arse. |
OutToGarden chapter 2 . 2/26/2014 WOW. DO NOT refer to this as "horrible smut", dear author. That was amazing. |
ennflor chapter 2 . 11/13/2013 I read your 'Geek in the Black and White' story quite a while ago. Yep, I liked it a lot back then, but just recently I got to know that it has TWO more continuations from you. So before reading them I decided to read this story again. 8) I already wrote a review when I read it the first time (which is a very embarrassing one of course) but I'd like to point out again that it's such a good fic! God, I really love Alfred's personality! He's sadistic, but not insane (as it seems to me). And very smart. I think I like the idea of Alfred being some kind of a genius while hiding it behind that mask of 'goofy' and 'dumb' behaviour. Arthur's personality, too, is nice here, I certainly can imagine him being so consumed by his pride so he doesn't notice/ignore certain important things out of being overly arrogant. Anyway, I decided to write here in one post reviews to other two stories as well. First of all, again, I'll point out how great Alfred's personality is. Getting back to the first story, it was nice that... he wasn't all that cruel with Arthur actually. Surely it's still rape, but he was somehow nice? Yeah. In the second story (Behind These Bars) it's the same. It's nice to see not only his evil genius side, but the humane one as well. And then... the third story (Rule of Thumb) where he isn't all that nice anymore, haha. And again, as it was nice to see a rather humane side of Alfred, it was nice to see his actually very sadistic side as well. He's different there from how he was in the first story. Although he still seems to know some restraint, he's pretty scary. It made me nervous to read it. Which just means it's a pretty damn good story just like the other ones. Now I want to say a couple of words about the smut... In all of these three stories. What I think is that you TOTALLY underestimate your ability to write it! :D Seriously, it's VERY well written! And if 'Geek in the Black and White' was your first smut... goddamn, you totally have a talent for it, haha! I'm envious even. I mean some writers that practice writing smut for a long time can't write so well. Or even if they still do write nicely, to me all the smut written in these three stories is one of the best things of this kind I read. Then again, that's how it is to me. Yes, I enjoyed quite a lot reading all this! I will hope that someday you will write something like this again because well, you're good at it and it's great. Also I think I especially liked the sex scenes in the first and third story. In both cases it's pretty intense (lol), and in case of the third story it's already kinda hardcore. Again, insane Alfred is just as nice as smart or humane Alfred. 8D And speaking of smut again, if we talk about the second story, I liked how they played The Nervous Game. I also like what their relationship is like. It's the kind of thing I personally find interesting and like to observe, including fiction and all, that is I enjoy reading about such things. What I'm talking about is that dynamic in their relationship. It's kind of codependent? Maybe at least Arthur is dependent on Alfred. So he's so needy and obsessed and kinda possessive (well, he DID throw out the console out of jealousy :D ). To me it seems Arthur is being a victim in this situation (not only as a victim of rape, but also he takes a victim role in the relationship) and Alfred is, therefore, a persecutor. I think it also has some elements of Stockholm syndrome. And yeah, all of these things I just mentioned are something I'm very much interested in and that I was delighted to find them in your trilogy (or at least something similar to these things). It's nice that the story isn't... well... all that angsty? There's drama, but it's not all dark and sad and actually has a happy ending. Which makes me glad. :) Guess Arthur and Alfred will never be able to ever get rid of each other. :DDD In short: this is an awesome trilogy, I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you! :DD (and sorry for rambling so much, haha) |
doctorvodka chapter 2 . 11/1/2013 Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesye syes! I love this :D |
AngelRuby235 chapter 2 . 10/2/2013 Yeah Artie you should have apologised long ago (on second thoughts it's good that you haven't otherwise who would have given us such a HOT lemon! Lol! ) so ds marks the end of the GIBAW trilogy, I guess. I loved Al in all the three...I liked Artie no less too...I mean you have given him pride and a tremendous sense of self-dignity, just the traits we find and love in hetalia's arthur and that's exactly what distinguished him from a mere weeping uke...even the tears he cried were of anger & frustration...not pain. He also experiences fear which is again a very humane feature...all these helped to make his character a realistic one in the entire series. And no comments on Al please...you have totally outdone yourself in his character developement. Overall I am very proud of you...you are one of the best UsUk authors around...and thanks for being one:-) God bless you. |
AngelRuby235 chapter 1 . 10/1/2013 Ds situation is like the calmness just before the storm...a calm Al...gods...nothing good Ever comes from that! ;-) on a shorter note, I'm really glad that UsUk has got together. Now let's see what Al's upto in the next chapter (Artie, you shouldn't have destroyed Sasha)! |
Empress Vegah chapter 2 . 9/6/2013 OMGGGG I'm so sorry that I've reviewed this only now. I've honestly read your fic on the day it's been posted, and gosh golly wow, can I tell you how happy I am to see you back! OMG! Thank you so much for writing this, I really got busy with work and my days off are even killing me until now. But I am glad you've pushed through with this, because this fic totally makes me happy! All of your USUK fics do! And thank you! I really enjoy tormenting Arthur, and you write it so marvelously, hahahah! And your Alfred is so hot and smart and oh god, he's just perfect. OMG. I really love the smut, I love pushing Arthur's buttons until he breaks down, hahahaha. Thank you for writing this! And ahhh, I hope to see more of your works soon! XD |
Don't Judge Me Badly chapter 2 . 8/30/2013 Use all the memes! Hehehe bad jokes. Anyway, I only got distracted a few times throughout reading all three of these one after the other! It is like a new record for me or something. I really enjoyed this series :D Also, if any partner I ever have even thought about throwing my games anywhere, well, it depends on how much I care about them. Either way they would have to by me a new one I also have vindictive tendencies Let us hope the world never knows :D -Caitlyn |
ThatCrazyGirlReading chapter 2 . 8/24/2013 Well this was brilliant also to your question it matters what game was in it. If it was kingdom hearts then hell I'll leave that bastard kingdom hearts is my life but if it was the sims I'll stay I mean that's cool even though like I love that game but call of duty in the middle of my game someone is dieing soon...do you think I'm too geeky? Poor future person to date/marry me they are going to have to deal with my obession with video games and anime...I'll be fine! I mean I also live superheroes and reading I can have a healthy relationship with my obsessions! Well this was fun to read make america the hero to much and it gets annoying at some point he can make like a super awesome villain if you put your mind to it! |
Guest chapter 2 . 8/24/2013 Gotta love it when you are welcomed home by your angry significant other, proceed to having angry/revenge sex then finding out the next day that all is forgiven and your body is immobilized by the sexy times. Arthur has it rough (pun not intended). |
AnayssaLovesU chapter 2 . 8/24/2013 *CLAPS REALLY LOUD AS I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP* This. Just this. This is the end. I love the ending and just seein my babies reunite and solve things together is the best thing I can ever ask for. No words, NO WORDS! It's sad to see this come to a close, but I'm happy that I was here to see it through all the conflicts and drama that made me love this fic in the first place. My OTP3 I can't- Bless this fanfic and bless this Author for writing it. |
