Today I happened to remember reading Shatter, like four years ago. And I had no idea it's been gone for a while now, it's a shame that I can't relive any of those memories, but I understand why you deleted it. I mean, I don't think it was bad, or at least not for the time. Looking back on it, yeah, okay, it was romanticizing some pretty bad things and it was a bit all over the place with plot. But it's almost a nostalgia thing, I guess. I almost wish I had the chance to look it over again, but sometimes you just gotta leave the past in the past. I'm sorry it's something that seems to haunt you nowadays, I certainly hope one day you won't have to think much about it anymore! I just wanted to let you know that at the time it was great, and I loved it, and it was my favorite fanfiction. But now, it's almost like closure to see that it's in the past, you know? I'm glad for both you and any of us readers that realized our "mistakes" so to speak concerning it, that we've grown up and it's behind us now. I'm sorry to say I haven't read any of your work since, seeing as Shatter was actually one of the last Hetalia fanfics I read, but I hope you're doing well and wish you luck with whatever you do in the future!
