Two words: Absolutely. Beautiful. It's very sweet in the beginning, but the best part by far is the Mood Whiplash at the end. All of a sudden it goes from a cute little one-shot about America and England's relationship to Alfred's last message to Arthur before he dies. Liete alludes to this in the very beginning, but it's more of a "blink and you'll miss it" thing - if you're a skimmer, you'll miss the foreshadowing. This troper was teary-eyed by the time she finished the story.
