One more?! Oi! I'll look forward to it!~

This chapter I would squeeze and hug if I could. I can't help but smile at it. <33

aw so cute ^ ^

Greece is so Tsundere... *w*

I have to admit, I was worried that you weren't going to finish. Although it's certainly not your best chapter, I enjoyed viewing things from Sadiq's point of view. You were very straight forward about his feelings and I believe that was the best point of the chapter. Overall, there is room for improvement, but I'm still eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

stupid americans with your stupid thanksgiving! lol joke.
aweosme chapter as always my dear, very heart felt and fluffy. And like Sadiq i'm begining to think B*stard is a pet name Heracles gave him lol

till the next chpater me deary :D

aw, that was really cute!! They are so cute together

Aw, I don't want it to be over! *sigh* Well, as they say, "All good things must come to an end."

you updated!Thank you!I can't wait for the last part.all of these are satisfiying from bigginig till end!

Bravo!

Just wondering... how old is Greece? He's a kid right? You wrote in chapter one that he barely reached Turkey's knees... so he's grown up a bit? (I sure hope so!)

:3

I love these guys. I love your writing, and now i love Sadiq about ten times more. and wow, they are just so cute! I send you cookies. the cookies that all fanfiction writers should get, but don't (it's a really saddening fact). Please write more, because that was brilliant and i love them and that last line and the escape plan and wow this is just pretty

wonder what is gonna happen *w*
plz update soon

I hope you'll be able to continue soon. =)

Hi, Vedra.

I was reading your story, 'The Beginnings of Love and Hate'. I have to say one thing first - you've really hit the nail on the head.

I'm an unemployed student at a university - which means I find myself with a lot of time on my hands to make up crazy head-canon for characters of anime/manga that I like. Hetalia's one of my favourites at the moment because I love history, and it makes such good fun of it, doesn't it? Anyway, yes, because of all this head-canon, I feel like I'm very hard to please when it comes to fanfiction. I always want characters to act a certain way, say certain things, etc etc. Kind of annoying when I'm just looking for a good story - but it's like you've broken into my head and combined ideas with good writing and come up with this story.

I love that your characters often have this two-sided dimension to them - the good, gentle side of Sadiq and his harsh, sadistic side - the sweet, thoughtful side of Greece versus his fiery, contradictory side. It works very well with their characters I think. It's hard to make characters based of simple outlines done by another author (Hidekaz), but you seem to have done a good job. Sometimes I find things you write to be a little OOC, but it's pleasing enough once it's resolved - there always seems to be a good reason for it.

I also love-love-love how you wrote Sadiq's history with Egypt and Ancient Greece. It was well detailed and made sense to me, though there were some things I disagreed with, it's still well within the range of understanding.

I always thought of how the practice of pederasty affected young Greece. I'm sure you know about it - if not, then that's fine, I'll just ramble at you a little anyway and you can just smile and nod and I'll be satisfied. Anyway, yes, I was talking to a friend about it, and so on/so forth. It was common back in Ancient Greece for men to fight each other (and even kill) over beautiful boys, to be their 'big brother' type. It wasn't common to have sex with the boys (they did, however, have some interesting ideas about inner-thighs and oil and... err, anyway), since they thought it would feminize the boy if he liked intercourse. Anyway, I thought that perhaps Greece, later on (after Sadiq manages to get him to bed without much fuss, etc.) has a lot of conflict over his liking being touched and handled by the Turk. I mean, I think it would be disconcerting for a teenage boy to realize that he's been 'ruined' by the only firm male role in his life (Sadiq, so I guess he'd be the Erastes). He may not think of it much now, since he's already in such a strange and dire situation (imprisonment and rape may do that to you, I think), but later when he's reflecting on his relationship with the Turk, he may think to himself, "I'm not a real man, the Turk's betrayed me by making me feminine. I'll never be able to properly lead my people because I'm like this", etc. etc., and it may distress him to come to this conclusion so much so as to make him hate Sadiq for a totally different reason now - because Sadiq may have done this deliberately (even if he didn't, who's to tell that to Heracles?).

Just a thought.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the last chapter, and I'm hoping to see more soon.

Yours,

Rik

PS. Two small complaints - I know it's terrible of me to do so, but I felt a little thrown off in the last chapter, when Sadiq was dying and Heracles was trying to save him. First - How long had it been since Sadiq had attacked Heracles? It seems like he's recovered quite a bit to be able to run into a room and be so concerned. It didn't feel like that long, but I probably read it so fast that that's why - I can't help it, I just devour your writing! Ah, right, also Heracles' language seemed really casual for the situation. But it's your right to make it so. I'm just a complainer.

PPS. Ah, right right, I was really happy you included Electra :D It was a pleasant surprise. And Greece's little whine over not knowing what was happening was adorable - made me melt.

PS. Oh god, don't be ** at me for writing so much. You're probably like "D< Damn this person can talk, jeez, what's up with this?", but yes, I just wanted to add that your writing from Sadiq's POV is actually really great, and that you don't need to be worried about it. I think the fact that you think it's harder makes you work harder for it, and therefore makes for more thought-out chapters. The way you put things is still rough, but I like it.

Okay, I promise that's it.

Fanfiction always has its wonders on making people like characters they've never really bothered with before.
Ha ha ha.

Keep up the great work.
Take Care.
