Gilbert wondered why it was he felt like something was missing in his relationship with Matthew. It wasn't that he was unhappy with his Dom, but sometimes he felt like they were two parts of a whole and the final piece was missing. It was maddening in the way that an unscratched itch could drive a man insane. Matthew centered him, kept him in the here and now. He knew Matthew adored him, and he adored Matthew in turn. He wore the other man's collar for God's sake. But still, there was something in him sometimes that twitched at the way Matthew was asking him to relax into the quietness of their new life: some little part that wanted to fight back, while the rest of him desperately wanted to sink into the quiet. It was maddening and frustrating in ways he couldn't articulate fully

He'd been the one to personally deal with France during the War.
He hadn't wanted Ludwig to even look at France, much less touch him or do anything to him. France had been his, all his, without any sort of line drawn to stop him.
(He remembered it all, France tied to the brass bars of the worn bed, mattress filthy from the three days he’d spent lying on it. Swollen lips had begged for mercy, as his hand slammed down on France's ass, hurting him just for the sake of causing him more pain. At the time, he'd said it was for the rebellion, but in truth, he'd just wanted to hurt France. Gilbert had wanted to break France, see the pain in his eyes, and know he'd put it there, that he and only he could be given that look of agony. It was his alone, he'd wanted to believe. He’d been almost mad with power at that point, and twisted in with it was a passionate love that demanded he make his mark on France, take complete possession and control over him

Sometimes, although he was very happy for his friend, Francis thought Antonio's new found happiness was annoying. It wasn't like Antonio had actually managed to get his beloved Romano into his bed, but nonetheless it seemed like their strained relationship had finally begun to heal. Francis wished them the best. It'd be better, he mused, if Antonio stopped denying his needs and paid attention to the fact that Romano was all but made for him. Arthur had once grimly noted how adept Antonio was at not seeing things he didn't want to see, and though at the time the comment had been in relation to how lovely Antonio had not wanted to give up his claim to Arthur, Francis found he had to agree with the sentiment

Francis didn't recall much of the last bloody months of his liberation. He remembered things in spurts and lurches like some drunkard stumbling down an alleyway

Despite what most of his fellow nations thought, Antonio was fully aware of what was going on around him. He just found it easier to get things done if people thought he was oblivious to what was going on. It was, according to Roderick, incredibly passive-aggressive. But then, Antonio grinned to himself, it took one to know one. He still fondly teased the uptight Austrian about how long it took him to realize how much he needed Elizabeth. By pretending to be oblivious, he got his way in most things. He'd kept Romano with him for so long by simply pretending the south Italian was merely his charge regardless of what he actually wanted to do to him - tie him up, make him scream till he lost his voice, gorge himself on Romano

"This shall not end well, mon ami," France muttered beside him.
Antonio nodded. Gilbert, while not plastered yet - the night was far too young for that - was still wound up on a mixer of adrenaline, caffeine, and fine alcohols. "Ludwig promised to keep us out of jail."
France sighed next to him. "Non, this," he gestured towards his neck. "This thing of his."
"Matthew seems like a nice nation," he offered. "Bit forgettable though, especially for a Lion. They tend to be more noticeable."
Francis glared at him. "I suppose it's a bit sudden," Antonio continued. "But he seems happy enough."
He tried to not flinch at the soft, "But what about me," that came from Francis. He sighed to himself - Matthew had better know what he was doing - and wrapped an arm around Francis's shoulders. It was the first time he'd touched Francis that wasn't a handshake at some official function since the Great Wars ended. He wasn't certain, but he was pretty sure it was also the first time Francis had willingly touched a Dominant nation outside of official

Ah, I'm so glad to see this continued! This verse really intrigues me and you're handling it so well without it becoming melodramatic or ridiculous.
I love how you explain Prussia's switch-tendencies with regards to his status as a country, and how the bosses and governments do have a stake in what goes on sexually/romantically between Nations.
Also intrigued by the mention of England and Spain's history :3

Thanks! I actually had some reasons for doing that - mostly to keep my mental history of this verse pretty equal to ours (in this case, the Prussia hatred of homosexuality becomes a hatred of switches).

I am so ridiculously happy that you haven't abandoned this, you have no idea. ♥
There's something really.. idk the word, but almost circular, in how both France & Prussia are drinking to avoid thinking too hard about all of this. |D And absolutely seconding the above anon - it's good to see what the governments & houses think of their Nations' partners, that there's more going on than just two nations in isolation. I really want to know what the provinces, especially Quebec, will feel about France being incorporated into Canada's relationship. ^^
Oh! And I wanted to point out two lines: "He'd vowed not only his body and sword arm to Matthew's care, but also his very soul for all eternity." I really liked that you included the second part - Gilbert's violence is a big part of him in this story, for better and for worse, and it emphasizes that Gilbert really is giving all of himself to Matthew
