Australia is many things.

He is England's bastard, replacement, rebound son, a glorified prison that has risen far beyond its original purpose. He has learnt by now that he should never go drinking with England, the man makes him wants to shake him out of his stupor and scream at him that despite Eureka, he will never be America. He will always be

Really? Thank you, I'm so flattered! Thanks for commenting!

AHHHHH, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. ♥

The prose in the first is just heart-breakingly magnificent! Nah, you're not spamming - don't worry about it! Heaven knows we need more Australia fic, hahaha.

And suddenly, the comm is mysteriously deluged with Australia!fic....

I'm really glad that you like this, especially as I'm still not too sure if I characterised Australia right.... /horrible English is horrible TTwTT

This is such a wonderful piece that you've got here~ As an Australian, I was touched by this... Tis nice to read about the interactions between the states and territories.

The first part of your story.. I don't there isn't an Australian out there that couldn't relate to those points. We know that for everything that's happened in this country, from the way we were 'created' to riots within the last few years, we aren't perfect. Be we still love our country to pieces.

Many cheers for sharing this with us!

After spending a year living overseas, I became really pariotic. It's like, I know Australia isn't the best, and that we've done some horrible things, but goddamnit, we're awesome and I would never live anywhere else for a long period of time. I come from a land down under~.

Thanks for commenting!

Heh, I ran here because you told me you'd also written Australian states/territories fic. So now I will be annoying and compare yours to mine! Kidding. Although we chose different genders for almost everyone

In all seriousness, well done. The first section managed to be both sweet and incredibly sad, and the second bit was incredibly lulzy. THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

I loved writing this, mainly because I could fill it with a billion in-jokes that non-Australians wouldn't understand: like VFL and SoO and stuff.

(I wish that I'd made QLD female just so I could make horrible jokes about summer.)

Honestly, headcanon insists that the only thing that gets done in the Australia household is horrible, terrible, decades-long fights.

[hyperemmalawlz]

*shrugs* Sounds true enough.

Dudeee, you are epic. Seriosly.

Your portrayal of everyone is fantastic, and I just lol at Victoria because, hey, I think Victoria is a sexy name for a guy.

And it's definitely times like these where I'm proud to be Australian and immersed in all the history this land has to offer. Someday, definitely, I will travel all over Australia and pay respect where it's due.

Loved the story. A real tear-jerker on the first part; I actually nearly cried. <3

[daemoninwhite]

I don't think that I've ever been called epic before, thanks! /preens

Victoria will never get over being named after a chick, even a badass one like Queen Victoria. And the others will never let him forget it haha. As soon as he tries to pick up someone at a bar, the others are rushing in telling the person Vic's full name. Poor poor Vic, headcanon insists that he gets cockblocked so badly, mainly by NSW.

Australia is pretty awesome, even if it's just for our astounding variety. You think you're kinda 'meh', and then you go overseas and you come back so patriotic, it's not even funny.

(You're Australian as well? Where are you from? I'm a north Queenslander, myself. Also, get to bed you!)
