US/UK – Everyone believing that Arthur’s dead
anonymous

England has gone missing due to some form of accident (ie; plane crash, terrorist attack, etc) and everyone thinks he’s dead. They all go through a period of mourning and grieving and self-pity, thinking things like ‘maybe I should have been nicer to him’ etc. America is the worst hit and is rightly devastated. However, just as everyone is getting ready to prepare a memorial and such, Arthur turns up, looking as if he’s been to hell and back, but he’s alive!
Lots of tears and heart wrenching stuff with a gloriously fluffy ending, please.

Note: The thing that happened to England affected the entire island of Great Britain, so I mentioned Scotland, too. The name I've decided to randomly give him the name "Logan". Just an FYI.Alfred leaned back, touched the bottle to his lips, tilted his head back, and let the burning liquid slide down his throat in one solid gulp. He coughed as he swallowed, wiping his mouth in an undignified manner with one sleeve. He lowered his arm to his knee, the bottle still clutched in his hand, and turned his eyes to his brother beside him

Alfred lay in a stupor in Hungary's warm embrace, his brain swimming from heartache and alcohol. Great Britain, the entire island, had been inundated with rapid flooding for six days. Six days of rain, of landslides, of never-ending clouds, of people clinging to what's left of their homes, sopping wet, not even a penny to their names, waiting to be rescued from land that had been a stronghold for thousands of years.
And neither Arthur, nor his elder brother, Logan, had been heard from since right before the storms. Alfred tossed the last words he had spoken to Arthur around in his mind over and over, recalling the look on his beau's face, the way his mouth twitched as he pretended not to be amused by Alfred's terrible jokes. The last sentence, their last exchange-- Alfred's breath hitched in his throat and he bit his lower lip.

The air in the room shifted. It seemed as if time stood still. The nations who had been with Ludwig in England all looked at each other-- they already knew. They had seen the destruction with their own eyes. The rest of the room was completely frozen, until Lichtenstein broke the spell. She was still gripping the piano as hard as she could, and she suddenly fell forward into it, nearly hitting the floor as Vash caught her. She collapsed onto her knees, her knuckles white, staring up at Ludwig

....Believe me when I say I screamed out loud when I read, "We believe Arthur's dead."
I supressed the urge to cry with Alfred...my heart is hurting, even though I know Arthur and Logan will be okay in the end. Oh...my god ARTHUR...-wails-

When I was first reading this, I thought you were going to make this an AU, since most of the time, when they are nations, they are called by their nation names not their humans name. It wasn't until I read the "nation" word that I figure out that this isn't an AU XD well, awesome job =D Can't wait to read more

Random anon here. I was thinking of filling this but I'm so, so glad that you did because BY GOD this is brilliant. I just... GAH. It's so painful because while we know (as per the request) that Arthur is still alive, the other nations don't know and this is so so painful, especially Alfred's reactions. Painful but beautiful and I'm looking forward to reading more :)
My god, anon, I have tears in my eyes and I am doing my best to ignore my bottom lip trembling. But when Ludwig said that they think Arthur is dead and the reactions of the nations afterwards, that made me get all choked up ;A;
Alfred sobbed himself in unconsciousness. Alfred, oh Alfred. I just want to cuddle him so bad.
This fill is going to break my heart 10x over, and I want to read more so bad. This is truly a wonderful start; I really can’t wait to read more. You’ve made me happy but heartbroken at the same time XD Wonderful work~

Drama, I like it! Points for the (unexpected) America-Hungary interaction and I hope poor Wales is safe, helping the others to search for his brothers.

Welsh Anon here. If floods are the natural disaster you're going with then I believe Wales would become a bunch of small islands. South Wales anyway. The south is so hilly and full of valleys that it couldn't be completely submerged. The north is flatter and therefore would dissapear most.

Another anon who was maybe thinking about filling this but am so glad I didn't because now I have this heartbreaking brilliant fill to read! The reactions of the different nations were really good, not just the usual ones that you would assume but you included some of the other European nations like Liechtenstein and Finland!
