Hello readers!
I thought I might as well slip in this author's note for reviewers, because why not?

This will be updated frequently as reviews accumulate. Thanks for those who have/do!

Calistrophia: Thank you so much!
It took a long time to pull together, with the details. And don't worry. I'll be honest, I thought writing the abuse parts was entertaining. I found inspiration in similar fanfics *as of other fandoms* and went from there. I tried to make it as much of a hard whump as possible *I've seen worsethough. Hehe...* and I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
As for that last bit, I guess there is always room for hope. I mean, for Italy, he's the playful, happy kind of character. Taking that and throwing it somewhere dark is easy, but making them unhopeful *is that a word?* is hard; and it's definately worth keeping. Otherwise, people would probably just ditch it, huh?
Anyway, thanks for your review. It made me feel super special!

Brittnay: I'm glad you liked it, I thought it was an interesting concept. And plus I know everyone needs a whump every once and a while. :3
Don't worry, no offense was taken at all! Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome! I wish I had added a bit more of a storyline to it, but the only story or plot I have is pretty much the 'hurt Japan/Italy to punish Germany' while Canada is running around trying to get all the shit to stop flying. (Ohonhonhonh... excuse my French)
I also thought it would be cool for a character like Italy, who is often defined as niave, to be able to go through a huge and tough hardship, therefore 'defeating his monsters'.
Brittnay: I'm glad! I'll keep an eye out for ya in the reviews section. (;
As for future chapters, expect those any day now. Yay!
Brittnay: I don't know why, but I always find your reviews really funny. I just have to respond to them. XD. Preach it!

claire: I'll be honest, Russia ain't my favorite either... hehe... B-T-Dubs, there is a long blacklist for people I know. Like... LONG. XD Allies beware!
About China... yes, Mongolia is older! But in that situation, China would have been the oldest present. Thanks for the tip, I might use it later!

Guest: Should I make more!? ... bwahahahhaha!

Feli: Woah there... I come in peace! *hides behind computer* but Lol that was friend's reaction. 'Cept she threatened to beat them all with chairs.

espeon64: Well, I have leftover amo from XxOtakuxX's raid. Hope there's enough left for you to deal with! :)
