Anon would like to see some America/England hurt/comfort, centering on England having an ED. Any ED, but especially anorexia or bulimia (not so keen on reading about EDNOS). Worried!America would be awesome, as would fragile!tearful!England. ;__;

Author's note: This is my first attempt at filling a request on the kind meme so... hopefully I didn't screw up too badly. orz;;
It had only been a little over eight weeks since that fateful evening, and America found he had never been happier.
Only eight weeks ago he had been exchanging bitter barbs with his former caretaker, one constantly trying to goad the other into a state of submission and hurt that, really, the two never truly wanted to see. There was a stinted affection that lay beneath the hateful banter that neither wanted to address - or, rather, neither had the courage to address. So the centuries-old resentment and blatant obstinance kept the acts going, spurring another harsh comment (“Your cooking really does suck, England.”) with a biting retort in answer (“It's damn-well better than your heart attack in a bun, you ungrateful prat!”). This was their only form of communication and the only interaction that they could bring themselves to exchange

In the end it took a very concerned ("I was not panicked!") England cornering America and all but begging him (though the nation himself would deny it vehemently.) to explain what was going on. And in seeing those desperate eyes raking over his own in a frantic search for explanation, it took all of three seconds for the bubble in his throat to pop and the vice on his heart to squeeze a profession of love from America in a jumbled, inarticulate mess of word-vomit (England still cringes at that particular terminology.). There was a startled silence, a gasp, and a deep, guttural sob that followed in a flurry of tears, laughter, and limbs clinging so tight, so tightSince then a soft, tentative love had enveloped the two. Though they rarely had the opportunity to meet with each other outside the meetings, the occasions they did have to spend together were spent in the solitude of a bedroom exchanging gentle kisses instead of mockery or simply holding each other in an attempt to become more intimate without the use of words or movement.

America pulled back and stretched a bit and let out a low groan when a few audible cricks sounded from his spine. He slumped forward to lean languidly across the back of a plush chair to his right. “You know me. I like to mingle with my people. Besides, I feel like I’m getting a little disconnected with them lately. I could use some more personal time with them.”
“So it has nothing to do with the penny pinching your president has issued, hm?” England smiled wryly. America opened his mouth to answer, but England simply shook his head. “Don’t answer that. Are you hungry? I bought some biscuits that you had mentioned, ‘didn’t taste like dirt,’” he said with a slight twitch of the brow.
“Mm, maybe later. I’m beat - this whole jetlag thing’s not real convenient when trying to get some tender loving from a boyfriend overseas.” For emphasis, the younger snaked an arm around the other’s waist, dragging him close. A brilliant red bloomed up England’s neck, ears, cheeks - “You’re adorable, babe.”

This not!op has one little question: Are you SURE this is your first fill? Because quite frankly, this is downright amazing. Especially the fluff you're throwing at us. To know the sad ending that'll come in time makes my heart ache and my throat close up. ;___;
Bravo Author!Anon. You have achieved an amazingly eager follower~

Goodness, you think so? You flatter me! Thank you, thank you! To be completely honest, I'm brand new to LiveJournal, so all of this layout html -insert internet jargon here- is a bit confusing.
And as for the fic, I was worried that it was a bit too OOC. It's my first-ever APH fanfic, and I wanted to slightly warp them into something a bit softer but I was afraid I had overdone it. Sooo... here's hoping it goes well! c:
Sooooooo much fluff! I love this fill already, writer!anon you're awesome~<3333 The fact that America only started to think about it at England's comment (or retort) is just priceless. Really, how clueless are you dear America? But I guess the problem (i.e. UST) is solved now, huzzah.
Same sad things are going to happen though...anyway just want to tell you I'm so happy this fill is in good hands 8D
I'm so happy that you're enjoying it so far. I've been a little wary to submit it, but seeing it accepted with such open arms is an enormous relief! :D

OP!anon more than approves, she loves every. single. word. Thank you so much for filling!! This is incredible, nobody would ever think it's your first fill, it's so good! All the FLUFF and ANGST and the hints of angsty goodness Yet To Come. I love America being inwardly unsettled by poor thin England.

Author!anon is now overcome with warm and fuzzy feelings. She'll be back in an hour or so~. I totally wasn't stalking the thread to see what OP had to say, of course not, don't give me that look.
But I must warn you, it's a bit hectic in RL, so I don't know how consistent I can be in updates. But I'll try my best! -salutes-
And yes, author!anon is a retard for forgetting to add on her anonymity. /FAIL orz;;;

This not!OP anon is totally loving this fill so far, especially since he's totally morbidly fascinated with the prompt. You're a really talented writer, author!anon. It is indeed hard to believe it is your first fill. I especially like how the uneasiness is slowly creeping in towards the end. This is so fluffy, it's heartbreaking to know what they're going to go through (is already going through, in poor England's case).
Keep up the amazing work! I'll be in the corner, rooting for you.

Thanks to some truly awesome feedback, I present the next chapter. There be some poorly written smut - just a warning.America took a sharp inhale, his barely conscious mind reeling from the heady scent of fresh ink scrawled on aged parchment, Earl Grey taken with a tease of honey and slight undertones of freshly fallen rain on asphalt with a wisp of the sharp bite of open fields. Every bit of it was so very England and, as he’d found every time he was presented with the particular assault on his senses, America could not get enough. Whispering a few sleep-ladled words of affection, he burrowed his nose into the base of the exposed neck. A small, sleepy sound of utter content sounded before the room lapsed once more into a comfortable silence

The taller nation swallowed up the cry that followed, eagerly mapping out the insides of his lover’s mouth with reckless abandon as he moved his hand slowly, so slowly. He reveled in the sharp jerks and shuddering of the body beneath his own, quite certain that his was acting in kind, even if he couldn’t feel a thing other than that sweet promise of the precipice of ecstasy. He couldn’t hold back the guttural moans and gasps as they rocked in unison under his hand; couldn’t keep the desperation out of his voice as he breathed the older nation’s name repeatedly. Their mingled breath and noise sank into each other’s skin and lit every nerve alight with a wonderful fire that spread until their skin was humming with pleasure that was nearly tangible.
“I love you, I love you, I love you,” moaned England. He wrapped his arms around America’s neck, panting heavily into the younger’s shoulder between open-mouthed kisses.
“God, I - I - fuck, England!They came within seconds of one another with a sharp cry, bodies trembling and chests heaving

Aha, this anon fails. orz;;“I’m fine, America.” The voice was softer, if not the slightest bit faltering. “I’ll admit I’ve been a bit... ill since we’ve last seen each other. But I’m better.” America tried not to acknowledge the slight clenching in his chest at the hesitancy in the voice
