Randoms try to sabotage USUK, US refuses to be treated that way

So there's been... a few prompts where random nations (France, the rest of the UK, whatever) try to sabotage USUK or make America prove himself to be 'allowed' to love England. So I'm asking for a twist on this.
England's friends/family/fairies try to put America through the ringer. America talks to England about this unfair treatment, and when England refuses to intervene, America throws up his hands and says, "I'm not going to be treated this way. I'm not going to apologize for having a Revolution or being independent, and I'm not going to be put through game show antics to to 'allowed' to be with you." And then he walks away.
Now England actually has to act like an adult, come to terms with his and America's relationship, and put the meddlers in their place. Maybe he wins America back when he makes it clear that no one elese decides if either of them is 'worthy' to be with the other, or maybe they just find some sort of respect and equal ground and don't get back together.

I'm a little wary, a!anon, because I dislike the "protect England from getting laid" trope, but I don't like the British Isles brothers' relationship abused..So far it looks interesting.
Your mention of the wildfires makes wince. My family had to evacuate because of them and are sleeping on a mattress at a health center.
Makes note to include Scotland getting teething baby!Australia to stop crying by letting him suck on whisky-soaked finger in WIP.
D: @ wildfires The drought in my area is causing horrific wildfire damage, so I can sympathize a little. We've been lucky so far, but it's just an unbelievable situation.
... I kind of want to see this WIP if you ever feel comfortable linking it.
Good luck, anon. I'm well away from it, personally, but the family is refusing to come stay with me. My parents are stubborn. :P
I haven't posted anywhere, just something I'm fiddling with. Someone said Scotland at least partly raised Canada, and it grew in my head to Scotland making fun of England's parenting of America, and a furious England dumping colonies on Scotland to take care of. Not sure where its going..
Several hours later found America slightly improved, but still feeling horrible enough to want nothing more than to stay in bed for the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately, his best attempts at feeling better were interrupted when his phone rang once again, and he was snapped out of his half-asleep trance. However, he wasn’t nearly as irritated as he normally would have been, as the ring-tone was different, having been specially selected.
“-need a little more luck than a little bit, ‘cause every time I get stuck, the words won’t fit, and every time that I try, I get tongue tied, I need a little good luck to get me by this-”“Hello?” America mumbled into the phone. “Wha’s the prob’m

“Aye, that should do it for t’ plans!” Scotland said cheerily, nudging Australia with his elbow to keep the other from falling asleep. “Oi, you. Get yer lazy arse up. We’ve work to do

Haven’t updated this in a while. But, uh, comments make me update quicker so, hint hint? Anyways, hope y’all still like where this is going.

When the British Isles (and Australia) were only half an hour away from America’s house, Ireland picked up the phone to call Canada.
The shy nation answered after a few rings. “…Hello?”
“Ye didn’t ferget, didja?” Ireland demanded, but kept her voice low enough not to disturb the sleeping nations in the back-seat (as Scotland had fallen asleep some time ago).
“No, no,” Canada said with a sigh. “But I don’t think this is a good idea…”
“We already cleared everythin’, so ‘t shouldn’t be too difficult to take ‘im by surprise an’ drop ‘im off at th’ next meetin’ room,” Ireland ordered. “An’ ye already agreed to it. Don’ tell me yer getting’ cold feet now, are ye?”
“Wh-What? No, maple, no. It’s just…” Canada paused. “…I care about America, too. And last I heard, he wasn’t feeling too good. England’s not going to be happy if he hears we jumped him while he was sick, eh

Fifteen minutes before the British Isle Brothers (and one sister) arrived, Canada stepped into America’s house, trying his hardest not to feel guilty

Oh, rilly..Be interesting if Scotland keeps his word..(And I saw Brave so I'm all agiggle over love challenges now hur hur hur) I'd really like to see some confessions coming out to England over this somewhat silly conspiracy.
(I was searching for Hima's thoughts on portraying the British Isles family and there's one sketch of a face of possible Scotland I think. He looked a bit like a scruffier Australia with more hair. If he does not have a giant claymore I shall be disappointed.)

Just stumbled upon this, and it seems very interesting. Rather foreboding for America after this last part, though. I like Japan's reaction at the beginning, and Canada's reluctance throughout so far. Poor America, I am really feelings sorry for him. There's not going to be anything good in store, I've no doubt. I wouldn't be surprised of England tried to come to see him anyway. And, I an wondering where they are going to take him.
I am enjoying this, Authornon, and I am looking forward to reading what comes next.

I cannot wait for the fallout from all this, especially if Arthur doesn't think it is a big deal. And can I just say I am praying this is one of the few, I am thinking maybe even the only fic, fics where Alfred actually gets mad at Matthew for good reason? Also, since they are countries, will the fact that America is a honking big superpower nation be in play? Not even just militarily, but stuff like, I dunno, tourism and economics and overall attitudes towards the UK nations, the Commonwealth nations, etc?

Ouch. A family friend had to evacuate, too... It wasn't meant to be offensive, though, so I hope it wasn't...
Also. I agree with the anon above: I want to see that WIP xD
