Greece/Japan reunion sex for the first time after WWII
First of all, I'm very sorry to the OP and readers, because I think I strayed a lot from the original prompt. The fic kind of ran away with me and um... well, I just didn't know how to fit the sex in without making it seem awkward and out of place. So, really, this fill focuses more on their relationship than anything else. As for the smut... uh, there isn't actually any of it, tbh off-screen sex? If anyone else wants to write another fill with the smut, by all means, please do.
I'm so sorry this is fail but I hope you will still enjoy.

1922He opens his eyes, pieces of a dream lingering in the deepest recesses of his mind as he shakes away the remnants of slumber. Beside him, legs tucked neatly under him much like how a cat tucks its paws in from the cold, Japan sits, a book laying open in his lap and a kitten curled into a ball on said book

1941
Seasons change, like the ebb and flow of the sea; twisting and churning, a multitude of events swirling out of hand. Chaos eats away at the world as Ares whispers gleefully into the ears and hearts of men, promising them power and dominion over lands. They lap eagerly at them, even if they were empty promises, for Ares offers only discord and destruction.
Italy charges into his home, needing to prove his worth. Greece understands his motivations for it but still, he doesn't agree.
Freedom or death, he tells Italy. We are slaves to no one but ourselves.Japan is Italy's friend - Japan has always been friends with many Europeans. But Greece isn't too sure what Japan is doing anymore, amidst this growing mess - does Japan himself know? Either way, Greece finds he cannot agree

1945
Takashi thinks this will have to do. If anything, he yearns to keep his family together, complete as one unit. But times are hard, and there is fighting - news reports and tales of soldiers faraway, gunshots, bomb-attacks - so much fighting. Together with his wife, they agreed to send the children away to the countryside.
It is for the best.In the countryside they would see more of the sky, taste the crisp, chill air and... and the freedom; they would have all which seemed lacking in the cities. Above all, they would be safe

1945
Greece feels his heart rend in two as he listens to the news, the voice on the radio monotonous. Unspeaking, he draws Corporal Cat into his hold. She looks at him pointedly, her amber eyes bright, and gently licks his ear.
Outside on the streets, men continue their rambunctious shouting.

2009The wind blows, a soft warm breeze. Gently, gently, the gingko leaves swirl up into the endless blue sky. Greece watches them as they dance - leaves dancing in divine winds, circling between life and death - and he lets out a tiny sigh. How many years has it been? Fifty, seventy.... a century? He forgets because nations, fortunately (unfortunately?), live for a very, very long time

- Greece and Japan first established diplomatic relations in 1899, and since then they have enjoyed a close and beneficial relationship, the only hiccup being during WWII.
- Driven by his envy of Hitler's conquests and feeling the need to re-assert Italy's military prowess, Mussolini launched an attack on Greece in October 1940. The Hellenic Army fought back however, and Italy was forced to retreat, and eventually needed Germany to step in to help invade Greece.
- "Freedom or death" or "Elef̱thería í̱ thánatos" is Greece's motto. To Mussolini's ultimatum demanding the occupation of Greek territory, Greece's reply was "Ochi", a firm "No" in Greek.
- "...does Japan himself know?" Japan has always had self-identity issues, from the time of Meiji Restoration and throughout the period of their modernisation up to the two world wars. After the atomic bombings, the Greek embassy donated a peace bell to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The bell is inscribed in Greek (along with Japanese and Sanskrit) with the quote "Know thyself.- Dr

While I did spot some typos here and there, this was overall very poetic and moving. I loved the unique style you used in this one; it was dreamy and made it feel as if they were truly living in each of these moments, one at a time, if that makes sense. And I think you were right about how smut would have broken the flow of the narrative, so don't sweat it; you were at least able to do a nice exploration of Greece and Japan's relationship over the years.
Plus, I didn't know about Greece's gift of a peace bell (awww) or Dr. Takashi Nagai, so I learned some new things from this fill. :3

It wasn't complete fail, don't worry! I do wish that you could have inserted an event somewhere in between 1945 and 2009 to give us more of an idea of how Japan and Greece reconciled after the war, but this is fairly good for something you wrote fairly late into the night, as I can attest to as a fellow writer who tends to be whacked upside the head with plot ideas late in the night.

Aha, yes I did kinda thought, rather belatedly, that it needed another scene (between 1945 and 2009) and that would probably make it a little more complete in that sense. I will probably do some editing to this and add a little more... if I ever de-anon this, lol
I glad though that people didn't think it was terribly fail. Thank you! :)

This was really pretty, anon ♥ I really liked the prose, insight to their characters and little aspects about their culture I'd never learned before. Nice ♥
