Unknown Variable chapter 4 . 6/10/2011
Me likey the PruCan, the USUK (UKUS?), and GerIta hints you put in there. :)

I'm not an avid fan of PolLiet, but for this story, it really seems to fit.

Other than all the pairings in this story, I really like your plot. Lots of suspense, mysterious killings, and detective goodness.

At the risk of sounding like all your other reviewers, please update soon. I wanna know whose house Al is going to, and who or what's killing these people.

This is one of the best Hetalia fanfictions I've ever read, seriously! I found this story 12 o'clock at night, and it freaked me out so much, I was afraid to go to bed! I hope you begin working on this story again, because it most certainly is a jewel for the fandom.

I love the creepy, supernatural aspect the mystery has, and I also like the first person narration on Alfred's part; you captured the characers perfectly, and it the suspense keeps you going on to the next chapter. I can only hope to read more :)

Heyas. My friend recommended this. I must say, she sure picks out good stories! I really liked this, a looot. But one thing that confused me was that Gilbert called Ludwig 'west'. Something they do when they're actually countries? Idk, whatever. Also, it seems that it's been awhile since you updated. I hope you don't not continue this! I wanna know who killed themselves, dammit! -shot-

That's a pretty long review, but hopes it can get ya goin again. ;)

Goooooodddddd luck~

I reviewed this fic in lj once but then I went away for a while and totally missed the update. And I found it again, yay.

I'm actually kinda miffed that this story doesn't get much reviews, it's really good. You had a few mistakes here and there but the plot was clear and concise and not to mention absolutely addictive. If I could add though, maybe having Arthur have, in a way of putting it, magical powers is a little pushing it. Alfred's reaction to finding out about Arthur's powers is a lot to 'well meh' instead of disbelief or acceptance unless you were aiming for that? I'm just saying it'll be a bit more realistic that's all.

P.S if you ever um, you know, want someone to beta I'd be happy to help. Not that I've ever beta-ed before. I thought I'd just offer my services and all. Looking forward for the next chapter~

Like, what the heck is wrong with everybody? I can't believe more people didn't review this - it's *so* damn amazing! The characters seem more or less in-character and the plot is killing me. Ah, what the heck! How can one story have so much suspense? Not possible!

As for who's dead now...uh. Well lessee, who does America hang out with, and would know well enough to visit a couple times? Seriously, from the description, I'd say either Liet or England was dead, but considering they've already been introduced and both are currently held by police/hospital, not likely. So I'd say France (but but but you can't kill France, can you?).

Wow... once again, a fantastic chapter, so much so that I almost forgive you for the lack of Prussian antics. And Gilbert rushing into the house like an idiot counts enough, I suppose.

The character interaction in this segment was superb. That brief moment between Liet and Poland was heart-wrenching, and did I mention how absolutely kickass Poland's attitude was? You've got me pitying Liet to the point of obsession, I feel so horrible for him. Really, the relationship between Alfred and Toris is just too sweet. ALFRED, YOU'RE GONNA BE A HERO.

In continuation of what I said about your characterization of America in the last chapter, I feel like a very IC disposition came through this time around; you showed him as unfathomably stubborn in a serious situation, always coiled to spring into action and save the day or whatever the hell he thinks he's doing, but there seemed to be a faint backtrack of cheerful and stupid America, the kind that we'd get were he in any situation other than this one. I particularly want to bring up the Sherlock Jones bit, this being the highlight of my day. XD That's great - I found him to be believable and consistently endearing, and you should congratulate yourself on the improvement.

As for the plot, goddamn. The suspense was killing me. Once again, it was the end of the chapter that was so very much alive, not that the others weren't. I feel like this is one of your strong points, the pace at which your story moves and particularly the action in a scene. And, of course, it just makes the whole thing more enjoyable. I think I'm as worried about Iggy as Alfred is.

I'm going to sound like an ass for this, because I really am very attached to this story and have a multitude of respect for you through it, but I did feel a bit pronoun-overwhelmed by the end of the chapter. Your mechanics were all fine, and your word choice was ridiculously intriguing, but there just seemed to be a few too many 'he's and I did end up confused a couple times, though that's partially my fault, fast-as-hell reader that I am. It's just something to keep in mind, and not to be taken too much to heart, because overall your techniques make for a really entrancing and fascinating writing style.

I'll try not to hold you too much to your weekly update schedule, but please continue regularly! This fic has an excellent premise, and you write it so beautifully. I really am looking forward to more! Thank you~!

DAMN, that was intense. The ending totally threw me off... god, poor Liet... and poor Russia (except not really?)

Okay, reaction's over, now I've gotta say: this isn't crappy. It's absolutely fantastic. Enthralling, almost bone-chilling, and to the point where I literally couldn't stop reading. What you have so far is great. I love how the exposition rolls out, at a good pace and just really IC, tonally. I also think it's a good sign how (at least from my perspective) the genre's a little hard to pin down... there's a lot going on, and thus there are a lot of different auras about this story.

Everyone's pretty IC, which is great - I absolutely adored the bit with Germany and Italy XD - also PRUSSIA! - except for maybe America, and while he definitely is to a point, and also while I KNOW that it's obviously just because of the whole concept of chapter one, he seemed just a tad too serious, a bit too dark and not quite dumb enough. The teasing Iggy was a good touch, of course. I'm sure this is just me being nitpicky, though, and it really wasn't a big deal.

NO MECHANICS ERRORS! 8D 8D 8D ~high five~ And again, just fantastic dialogue in general. One of my usual methods of judging a fanfic is trying to step back and see whether or not it would still be as enjoyable if I had no knowledge of the anime itself, and this clearly passes the text.

Excellent so far, and I'll be waiting for the next update! THANK YOU!
