New York Times on fillegentille and bake_einsamcake:

"After Paris, I went to Washington in 2002 to head our bureau there, and I shared this view with a French diplomat. “We are not just flirting with France,” I told him. “We are serious: We want to marry. We always wanted to. But that window is closing.” [...]

He was baffled. He had never looked at it that way. For a long time, France was the beautiful woman who is used to being courted but has no intentions of ever exchanging vows. And in a way this goes for all Europe. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. The suitor can still adore and socialize. But sooner or later he will remember the old Beatles song: Money can’t buy you love."

*slow clap for Germany*

We’ll remain great friends. We’ll just not share the pin-code of our ATM card with you. That is reserved for a spouse, and we’ve waited a long time at the altar.

;__;

But the eurozone was always a bad idea. It's mad to think that just because we're on the same continent, we should be one state. Most european nations are totally different. If Germany is wising up, that can only be a good thing.

(In an ideal world, the EU would just be made smaller and richer, by kicking out ones like Greece that can't pay their share.)

Interesting article.

I wish Germany/France existed more in fandom. Sigh.

Some people don't like it because "it can't work/doesn't make sense" haha, i can see it working very well.
if only people weren't so much "germany/france = obligatory lovey dovey-married couple hence don't like it" lol this pairing has so many more interpretations, I wish there were more fanwork as well sob

I can see it working very well too! People are idiots. They have just as much history together as US/UK do. More so, even. I also imagine that they're married but it's the most unconventional marriage ever because it's them.
