I love this fic so, so much. You did so well to express Ukraine's insecurites, both in the way people treated her and the way she treats herself. I love all the allusions to clothing especially; her shirts, her back brace and sports bras, the Canadian Flag bathing suit. All of that language really made you realize how self conscious she was. And then she allows herself to feel beautiful in her body for a little bit, and to share it with her lover, which is just amazing. This is the best Canada/Ukraine fic I've read in a long time.
