SLKDFJSDLK OH MY GOSH. You know that I absolutely love everything you write, right? I mean, I really really really love your characterization of our boys and your writing style and the fact you write so many and so amazing adventure fics. But this fic-- to me it felt like one of the best fics you've ever written! And like I said, I love your fics on the whole to no end, and I don't know exactly WHAT in this fic made my heart flutter so much, but it did, and this fic is just so skdfjslfkd.
I think the magic is partly explained by the setting, because it's kinda unique among all the "Alfred is a popular football player, Arthur the grumpy, lonely student council president" fics, and even though I'm kinda addicted to settings like those, this was really something new, something we haven't seen much before. But of course the major props go to your writing and characterization skills, because with this setting the fic could've turned out to be rather horrid too. I mean, Arthur could've been this really self-confident, dominating bastard type (y'know, the "he was the freakin' British Empire once, he cannot be stuttering/ easily blushing/ uncertain of himself!!"), but you actually kept him in character and fksjdlfk I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW INCREDIBLY HAPPY IT MAKES ME. Arthur in this fic is adorable! He always is, but here... he's this popular soccer player, everyone knows his name and everyone wants to date him and go with him to the Prom, but Arthur can see through this so easily and even with all the hype about him he is essentially really lonely and has insecurities-- he basically is himself. It breaks my heart when he tells Alfred that "No one in this bloody school has gotten to know me at all."
Except for Alfred, WHO IS, BY THE WAY, TOO SKFDJSLKFJ ADORABLE FOR WORDS. Science geek Alfred is amazing beyond words, his science drivel is adorkable and so him, and his attitude in this fic even though people don't really appreciate his skills and his victories at science competitions and, basically, him, at all, his attitude is still so amazing 'cause he's his jovial, cheerful and charming self, even despite everything. IT'S SO ALFRED. I honestly cannot describe in words how much I love your characterization in this. It's just... pure awesome. And I love them both so much in this fic, so so much!
I LOVE THIS SO MUUUUCH! I love it how Alfred is gradually falling more and more for Arthur, and how Arthur seems to go through the same feelings, falling for Alfred. I love Alfred's jokes and puns ("Okay then, let's get rocking!"), Arthur's love for literature and his blushing and getting all flustered when Alfred says or does something that makes him embarrassed. Arthur's rant near the end of the fic breaks my heart because he's clearly so lonely after everything, but then Alfred hugs him and comforts him and compares him to a rock AND THEN THEY KISS AND ;;;u;;;.
This was an awesome fic, you did brilliant job with it and even though I know you're busy with so many other fics you need to write at the moment (and fksjdlf I can't wait to read those too!), I would really love to see more from this AU too :'D. It's your choice in the end, naturally, but this was really awesome <3! FANTASTIC JOB!!
