Apparently, when the English law that criminalised homosexuality was drawn up, Queen Victoria vetoed the addition of lesbian sex to the list of illegal activities. Admittedly this was because she apparently thought that 'women did not have such passions', but still.
This anon now wants a fic of fem!England taking advantage of this legal loophole. Preferred pairing would be England/India, but so long as it's reasonably canon, it's entirely up to the author.
Bonus: England keeps a straight face for almost the whole time, insisting that as a woman she has no emotional investment whatsoever in the coupling and generally being an uptight bitch.
Bonus 2: the other country proves her wrong.
This is a two part fill to the request, both involving fem!England. The second part will be up shortly after this one.
The body had its hungers ( ... )

psst, if you ever de-anon on this, it should be "la petite mort", since Death is a lady in French.
The clothing details are wonderful - I can practically feel the clothing under my hands as I read, and poor England. She's not entirely comfortable with being ladylike, I think, but to her it's better than being open about her desires in the way that France is.
reCaptcha: knits best. I'm sure it's not either of them.

Oh and btw, Queen Victoria didn't not ban lesbianism because she didn't think it existed, she just.. didn't ban it.

(Also, would you by any chance be the author of 'Lioness Rampant'? The writing styles in this piece and that one seem similar.)

That was very much what I was going for, in both stories. England has always been a figure of control in my imaginings, someone who needs it and wants it very badly. In England's search for it, however, he can be thus manipulated by his desire for control and the belief that he is indeed in control. And this is regardless of gender.
And yes, I wrote that. ^_^ Alana is my genderswapped version of England, yes.
Thank you!

Anon just read both of these in one go and...wow. Yuri is all too rare a thing these days, and these two stories are masterfully done. I seriously can't think of anything that would make them better. The first one left me cold and worried, for England and France alike, and the second one left me in a kind of daze, as well as a new perspective on my own surroundings (this anon is on study abroad at the moment).
Just...you get a thousand gold stars, anon.
Also, ALANA. OH MY GOD BEST NAME FOR FEM!ENGLAND EVER.
