Various- meets reincarnate lover (or close friend)

A nation dies and their lover/close friend has a hard time coping. At some point in this process they find someone that reminds them of this dead person. At first they think its just fate playing with them and either feel grateful or terrible upset. Than, for whatever reason, they realize that its the reincarnation of their previous lover/friend. This can be true or they could just be delusional due to grief.
I would REALLY like it to be one of these pairings (their in order by favorite) : Russia/America, France/Russia, Romano/America, or UKUS (which is why I put "various").
B1: Their is an age difference. Such as 17 year old Alfred and 27 year old Ivan. Though it doesn't have to be that much.
B2: The person appears to be a stalker or come off to strong/creepy. That person just wants to get closer and discover the truth while the other one doesn't know whether to be flattered or creeped out.
b3: At first the person tries talking himself out of it but can't.

Sorry, I read this and my brain went ASPLODE. I don’t think that this is quite what you want, but it’s something until you get a real fill, ne? England still remembers the first day that he met the boy, although it had started to fade with the millennium of intermediate time. It was back in the days where dragons and faeries roamed his forests, not daunted by disbelief and sprawling cities. It was back when everyone had called him Engla. It was back when he hid from his half-brothers instead of the other way around. It was back when in the chill of the night he could curl up under Germania’s cloak and feel at peace

And then one day, when Arthur was nearing his fortieth birthday and starting to show his age, the unimaginable happened: England awoke, and he felt wonderful. There was no weariness in his bones, no soreness in his muscles, no mysterious bruises or cuts coming from the ills of his people. He enjoyed it momentarily, but then he had a realization: there had been a battle last night. The Britons should have turned the Angles back. He should have scarcely been able to move, and he felt as though he could run a marathon. He leapt from his bed, barely bothering to get dressed, and called his dearest unicorn

Centuries passed, not decades. England still thought of the promise occasionally. He’d think back to it, sometimes sadly, sometimes fondly. It wasn’t a rational promise, dead men did not return, but it was just so Arthur that it was hard to ignore. He took the fool’s name for his own and wore it proudly, a sign of his first love and only real hero

Author-non, I don't know about OP or anyone else but I LOVED this. I mean, I especially love how you had the historical twist. I think the Arthurian mythos has been VERY romanticized to the point that the stories can hardly be connected to the historical figures within them.
I adored this story. The nickname Myrd is just like America's 'Iggy' often seen in fics (and I think a few in canon). The unicorn was a lovely addition, America's "Engla" being brushed aside (baby nations talk funny, yes?)...only for England to discover the truth was great. This whole fill was great! It fit my prompt well and you managed to connect it, in a realistic way, to history. Nice head canon you got going on there too. It was both heart warming and sad because they were such close friends (just friends? I got the vibe of just friends/great admiration but idk if you were going for more) and even though they were always trying to kill one another they never resented each other for it, even at the end

The knowing-someone's-name-gives-you-power-over-them is a fairly standard idea in magic. I'm not entirely sure if it's true for Briton magic or not, but I guess that I'm so used to it being included that I didn't think tqice about it (heh, heh)
And it probably was rough. I wrote this all to quickly two nights ago because I needed to go to bed (major test the next day) and it wouldn't leave me alone. I didn't think you'd like it either, so I didn't really bother.
I'm considering revamping this and putting it on my FF. net. If I do, I'll link this to the better version
aww how could you think I wouldn't like such a cool story?? It was great!
A small suggestion:
Perhaps, if you do revamp it you could add a little more confusion or make it more clear why Alfred isn't confused about the names? Preferable in the story or if not than in the notes? That would make more sense.
