I Hear Thunder... (England x Child! America)
The sky erupted into blinding white for a split second before returning to inky blackness. Rain poured relentlessly and hammered at the windows and roof as though trying to gain entry. A low, moaning rumble followed.
Within seconds, the lights in Arthur Kirkland’s house – all the lights – were swiftly and unexpectedly extinguished, plunging the whole property into complete darkness. Inside the house, the occupant of the study gave out a frustrated sigh and raised his bushy eyebrows in exasperation – not that anyone could see the gesture in such blackness. The sound of wood brushing against wood followed by a jumbled r

Imperial Ambitions [APH HRExItaly]
The news of Napoleon's provocations came on the hooves of a single rain-drenched messenger who had ridden straight from Paris to Vienna, confiscating horses along the way. He frantically explained that England and France were close to blows, and France's new emperor seemed ready and willing to engage in war. The Holy Roman Empire listed to the news and watched the look of determination pass over his Austrian guardian's face. He knew the thoughts that were crossing the man's mind; they were the same ones that were on his. Wars in Europe never remained the business of two countries. Many of the squabbles about relatively little land had turned

Big Brother's Promise: Switzerland x Liechtenstein
As deep as the Alpine forests and the same beautiful colour, Switzerland’s solemn eyes gazed down at the sleeping form of his little sister and charge; the representation of Liechtenstein. He wore his famous serious frown, but then again, there was nothing new there. She’d been in bed sick for several days, although the older nation had lost count of exactly how many, and he’d refused to leave her side for even a second of that time.
Ever since the riots in her country had brought her government into disarray she’d fallen ill and been confined to bed. Switzerland had managed to eventually bring order to the chaos but

Child King [APH HRE Prussia]
Snow was falling in slow scattered flakes as the bright yellow banners of the Holy Roman empire appeared at the gates of Königsberg. Gilbert could just make out the bright color through the flakes. He put his hand on the pommel of his sword, a bastard blade that had ended the life of many men. Those flags had never appeared at his gate, not even when his father was still alive. The proud banners of the empire never came this far into the Eastern frontier. This was one of the farthest outposts of the empire.
It was puzzling. The fanfare seemed far too much for just a messenger, so Gilbert couldn't help but wonder what the reason was behi

The Art of Breaking: Chapter 1 [RusPru]
The cell was lit only by a single exposed bulb, which swung slowly although there was no movement of the air in the room. Prussia was walking around the sparse space in small circles. His mind was reeling. He had been captured by the Red Army, and Berlin had most likely fallen. From this windowless room, with its grim concrete walls, he had had no news of the outside world. It had been at least a couple days since he had been captured, but it was hard to say without a clock or any view of the sun. The hours all blended together and seemed to stretch on eternally.
Prussia glanced down at his forearms, which were exposed because he was wearing

Echo, My Fireworks [America and England]
Another birthday, another year of being sick.
England wasn't having the best trip of his life, but he had promised he was going to do something this year than laze about at home. The day before he spent the entirety of with Canada, the poor boy was ecstatic at someone coming over to celebrate his birthday with him. Of course America, Cuba, the Netherlands, and a few others came by - of this from Canada himself - but it was nice to have someone stay for more than just a few hours for the festivities.
With how the boy turned out, England was sure he should have spoiled him more as a colony.
So now, officially July the third, England was on h
