I mean, yeah, I guess everyone’s been telling me so for ages, but it only really matters if I say it, right? So I’ll say it. I’m an idiot. I really am.
But I’m learning.
In a way I guess it’s a good thing that England’s suddenly gotten less obvious about sleeping around. (Because he was hiding it a lot better before. I don’t think he’s gotten any more slutty promiscuous - just a lot less subtle. Maybe it’s because he actually has less partners than before? He must have been absolutely pimping during his empire days.) If he hadn’t, I might have gone on holding onto stupid Hollywood-fairytale-romance-novel type daydreams like “one true love” and “saving myself” and “

This is a really intriguing fill, anon; I really enjoy how America is still recognizable as himself -- he still worries about how others see him while denying he's doing it, is still is somewhat juvenile, and is still so focused on England - but he has also clearly changed. He's become more jaded: If he hadn’t, I might have gone on holding onto stupid Hollywood-fairytale-romance-novel type daydreams like “one true love” and “saving myself” and “monogamy” and “forever” and shit. But I also get the feeling part of the reason that he's mocking the idealistic notions he once had is that part of him still is an idealist. And even more of him wants to go back to those beliefs. Wants to believe that he and England still have a Happily Ever After waiting for them in the future. I also really get the feeling that he -- America, land of individualists, in a way -- wants to believe that he has an identity outside of being a nation. And that he believes, or wants to believe, that if he calls himself an idiot often enough, maybe it will

Ahahahaha, were you the one who advised me about the Part 12/post-parts-fill thing? If so, THANK YOU. This is much better and I was able to do some minor edits even. :)
And this comment is probably better thought out than the fill, so thank you again. I am really glad, cos you seemed to get what I was trying to drive at in my hasty fill, and I'd been worrying people would find it cheesy.
Headcanon for this fill is that America was a virgin (hence, the "saving myself" thing) until China, with whom he was kind of drunk. And that in that happy ending that I can't write TO, England initiates lots of kinky sex in an effort to one-up America's partners. America is too insecure still to offer his own suggestions, which mostly consist of "Let's incorporate food somehow" anyway.

Did you see that Seinfeld episode where George hides a sandwich of a type he really likes in, like, a pillow or something, so that he could take bites of it at regular intervals during sex? I think his reasoning would be "How do I combine two things that are awesome into something that is more awesome

Pfft, I never saw that, but I can totally imagine America trying to sneak a bag of burgers into his nightstand and England starting to wonder what the smell is half-way through. Or just going ballistic when he cranes his head back and America's happily munching on some fries while fucking him. XD And yeah, somehow that logic would work for America, huh? But it's kind of like the little kid logic about combining their favorite foods; it almost never works out, and it almost always horrifies the people around them.
That's true; hopefully some the experience America gains will be fun and teach what he lies and how to ask for what he wants. Because frankly, no matter how much idealism he loses, America will probably always believe that his partner "should just know" what he wants. As well as expecting that of himself. Lol, Hollywood.
Sure he may have done doggy-style with a couple of other Nations, but has he done it as actual dogs via magical transformation?! That just made me laugh crazily, for some reason. "I know you've

Hahahah, thanks~ And the image of England being completely blissed out, turning his head, and then seeing America happily munching away......it is an image now near and dear to my heart. His eyes would turn into those tilted-D things I imagine......*goes to google image-search*

Well, England's certainly tsundere enough to be the master of mood-swings, so I bet he could go from blissed out to Ultimate Tsundere Rage in like three seconds flat. With exactly those eyes, yeah! XD
Oh lord, America might just be dumb enough to say stuff like that; I mean, I don't get the impression he actually bothers to think before he talks -- maybe heroes are just supposed to wing it Indiana Jones style? -- and I imagine it's gotten him into trouble with England thousands of times before. But, uh, eating radioactive scones does not make up for that one, methinks. OTL
Uh-oh, are the plot-bunnies contagious? I mean! *dramatic villain voice* Mwahaha, my evil master plan has come to fruition!!! ... Or something like that!
But seriously, go for it, if you think you can make it work. :D And yeah, I can see America trying to rationalize in exactly that way. And even if it took months or years of America and England being clueless, outright undeniable jealousy from England would surely be enough to pierce through America's

I have this feeling that America, he who chooses not to read the Atmosphere by claiming it's "too thick a book", would miss signs of burning jealousy that have all the other Nations rolling their eyes (or rushing for cover

Yeah, definitely! America's alleged inability to read the atmosphere is definitely an act XD very ... selective, shall we say? But he and England definitely have a blind-spot a mile wide when it comes to each other. They both suck at expressing their emotions and getting along with others, too, although England is about ten times worse at those two. OTL God, but really, I just have this hilarious mental picture of EVEN ITALY understanding England's jealousy and face-palming at America's thickness. (Granted, Italy should probably actually be good with recognizing love and emotional stuff, if nothing else. But "England's jealous! J-E-A-L-O-U-S. He wants to bone you. Even Italy gets it, you fool!" kind of has a ring to it, doesn't it? ... I bet snarky, passive-aggressive Canada would be happy to spell it out for America. Hell, that would even be such welcome news that his criticisms of America wouldn't even hurt America's feelings for once

I loooooved that official Word of God canon says that Alfred CAN read the atmosphere, he just chooses not to. It makes everything he does in the canon all the more hilarious in hindsight. (And now I suspect even baby!America's reasons for choosing England over France. Was it for the tears....or did baby!America, even then, know what he wanted

Our canon is just awesome like that. Honestly, I don't know if it's an American thing to just choose not to read the atmosphere in that particular way, but that's exactly what I do in certain situations. Sometimes it's the least awkward and most polite thing to do, but usually it's just the most advantageous thing to do. Because no one will call you on your bullshit, so it lets you bulldoze through situations when you're desperate to get things done. And then you go home and cry a melodramatic tear because, even though you got things done, people hate you for it. *dramatic tear* Really, though, I think the author just choose to make that canon because it's terrifying to imagine an America that is actually that clueless! XP And it is more hilarious that way, isn't it? (Quite possibly, although I think that America is really a big softy at heart, too, so I like to think he's been weak to England's tears since the beginning. ... That's pretty gay-sounding, though. OTL Maybe he just wanted to play with his new mommy's awesome

Poor Prussia; he really does seem as obviously lonely as England does. (Like in those last two episodes where England finally makes friends with someone after his "splendid isolation".) I wonder if America's the same, in a way? I mean, I've never met an American in my life who didn't feel like the whole world, or damn near it, hated them. Hm, at least Prussia has Germany; somehow, even though I imagine Prussia annoying him, I imagine them balancing out each other's weaknesses and being good friends, in the end. Granted, the delicious beer probably helps.
Hm, if only they had a N they could be PRANK, and then the world would tremble in terror. Wait, is New Zealand an annoying bro? Somehow I don't think Norway is ... Okay, Americans like acronyms a little too much. *facepalm*

It's kind of hard to imagine a happy ending to this fic; Al sounds like he's about to spiral out of control. Cuz frankly, I don't think that boy is made for casual sex.

The happy ending involves lots and lots of kinky sex, in multiple positions, with use of magic and toys! :)
