A fic set in the early days of the American revolution, based on the above picture. Throughout the early conflicts (Boston Massacre, Tea Party, etc.) there's always been this mysterious figure leading or swooping in to assist the rebelling colonists. England becomes obsessed with uncovering his true identity, never suspecting that it's actually his own teenage ward.
Slash is not required but totally okay if you want to put it in. Drama and intrigue are a must!

I hope this counts, as it seems I have steered away from the prompt a little.“Sons of Liberty?” England scoffed as he tossed the pamphlet on the table in front of him, “Sons of Violence and Anarchy is more like it

January 19, 1770.“Bloody hell,” England swore under his breath as he and some of the officers attempted to calm down the enraged mob. When he found out whose brilliant idea it was to charge the mob with bayonets there’d be hell to pay. Luckily no one was dead, although the injuries will certainly add more fuel to those blasted anarchists’ fire

“There’s no need to take that tone with me lad,” England moved one of his hands from America’s shoulder to cup his cheek and gently turned his head to force him to look at him, “Things will calm down, you’ll see. It could have been much worse; at least only three people died

Suddenly a gunshot rang out through the night air. Both England and the cloaked man turned to see one of the anarchists pointing a gun at a now bleeding soldier.
“Lieutenant!” England shouted as he ran over to help him. He vaguely heard the man criticize his companion about not shooting unless they shot first, but it didn’t register in England’s mind. The Lieutenant was alright, hurt, but he’d recover.
“You wondered before,” the new bane of England’s existence started, “two years ago in New York, what my motive was. I’ll tell you now, I’m after freedom. Whether you want to give it to us or if we have to take it from you is your choice,” he swiftly turned away from England before shouting back over his shoulder, “We’re going to burn the ship. Everyone else already left. I suggest you do the same” and disappearing below deck.
As England and the Lieutenant escaped, watching the Gaspée burn in flames from the Rhode Island shores, England vowed he would find that bastard in whatever hole he was hiding in and make him pay.

“Don’t fire unless they fire first,” England repeated. He was going to avoid a battle if at all possible, especially if it meant he would have to fight

This is lovely. I'm barely awake enough to form coherent sentences right now, but I have to tell you that I adored this fic.
And all the history made me squee. I know this is Hetalia and I should expect history by now, and yet this was so spectacularly done that I was overwhelmed by the awesome.

Request OP has a gigantic grin on my face, and I do mean gigantic. Oh. Just, oh, this is wonderful!
I love everything, but the historical details are absolutely the biggest grin-maker. There's nothing like a good Hetalia fic built around solid history, and the amount of research you put into this really takes the cake! And all of the scenes are so well-done; I love America's heroic Sons of Liberty persona and all of England's reactions to his "annoyance." And everything just comes to a head after such a slow boil - I love it. Thank you so much, this is amazing!

I was thinking of filling this, but you, anon, have done a much better job than I could. I loved the little details, like the "342 crates of tea," not just the crates of tea.
