Greece knows that Japan is secretly into very kinky stuff and also knows the best way to bring out that hidden kinky side - bondage. Bonus if Japan really gets into it despite trying to keep it from showing.
A/N: I hope OP and readers will not mind Human-AU and human names. I've been playing around with this idea for a while, and thought I could somehow work it into this prompt with a bit of plot. The setting for this verse is during the Victorian Era, somewhere in the early 1850s and located somewhere in Holland.
Critique/comments about characterizations would be very much welcomed, as I'm not sure if I managed to keep everyone IC enough. Either way, I hope you enjoy :)

1.
There is a cat; She moves like circus acrobats Her fur lustrous orange Her eyes amber flame Sureness and grace in both claw and teethShe moved much like the circus acrobats - there was a sureness in her gait, confidence in every step she took as her muscles moved underneath her lustrous orange fur like liquid. And like the acrobats, every step she took was one with calculated grace. She was a magnificient creature; magnificient, ferocious and at the moment, extremely infuriated

Herakles studied the scratches on Kiku's arm silently, before deciding that it wasn't life-threatening and tilted his head slightly.
"You're quite a long way from home, aren't you?"
Kiku thought then of the woodblock paintings hanging in his mother's room, of his father seated at the table, practising calligraphy with his brush late into the night and of the scent of tea, rice and soused mackerel... A tiny part of him ached for home. He shook it away as quickly as he'd felt it.
"Indeed I am. The farthest I've ever been away before, in fact."
The European seem to understand and smiled softly. It was the way of the Cirque - people came and went, and it was not unusual to have foreigners who travelled from exotic lands. Herakles himself was no exception. He took a slow drag from the cigarette in his hands, before letting it fall to the ground and putting it out with his foot, and proceeded to approach the cage

Kiku had never watched aerial silk acrobatics before, so it fascinated him how a person could virtually keep themselves suspended up in the air with only two large and long pieces of silk ribbons wrapped around their body. There was no safety net or safety line, so a miscalculate jump or a slip of a finger or toe, even for a mere mili-second could very well send them plunging down to their deaths. It was dangerous and horrifying... and yet Kiku couldn't help but feel a strange thrill, feel the adrenaline rush through him whenever he watched Herakles spinning through the air - his toned muscles rippling with each swing; his limbs bound with silk as he hung precariously in the air; his movements both fluid and forceful at the same time

"What if we were personifications of our native lands?"
Brows furrowed, Kiku glanced back at Herakles uncertainly.
"Personifications...?"
"Yeah... What if you represented the Empire of Japan in human form, much like how Eros was embodiment of Love in the flesh, and his wife Psyche was Soul."
"I don't think I am worthy enough to carry the weight of my nation upon my shoulders, let alone be the face of it."
"I think you would. Your mannerisms speak volumes of the people of your land. Also, you are beautiful enough, just like how Iapo̱nía must be a beautiful land."
Kiku blushed. "Iapo̱nía?"
Herakles smiled. "Yes. It's Greek for 'Japan'. That's what I'd call you, if you were 'Japan'."
Kiku crinkled his nose slightly in amusement. "You have quite the imagination sometimes, Herakles-san. Not surprising I suppose, since your people bore epics such as the Iliad and the Odyssey.A pause, the acrid and woody smell of tobacco drifting lightly in the breeze, and then

"Hey, I've got the awesomest idea ever! We won't just give them a show, we'll give them a complete musical act!"
Herakles and Kiku jumped, startled out of their stare-down by the Ringmaster's outburst and hastily tried to pull away from each other, which further resulted in them bumping their noses together, their lips brushing so achingly close ...
"I... I'm s-sorry... I didn't mean..." Kiku breathed, his heart pounding so hard within his chest, he was sure it would burst. He blushed deeply as he broke free of his silk restrains, and before Herakles could utter a single word, fled away into the night.

He never got to finish because Herakles moved then, gently cupping Kiku's cheeks with both hands, pulling him closer until their lips met in a searing kiss. It was nothing like Kiku had ever felt before and his mind was whirling as he felt the layers of his heart slowly peel away, the folds unraveling to reveal the fluttering desire within that he'd so carefully kept at bay

When Kiku finally dipped his head further and began kissing his inner thighs, Herakles arched his back, a thrill of pleasure coursing through him. He moaned just as he felt Kiku's lips sucking at his shaft then, and bit back a curse when he felt a finger slipping into him. Bringing his legs up to wrap around Kiku's waist, he pulled his partner closer

- The ideas used was inspired by an RP I had with a friend several months back, so Greece as an aerial silk acrobat was all thanks to her, as is that line about "smelling like steak" XD This fill is a tribute to her <3
- Snap-dragon was a popular parlour game played from the 16th-19th centuries. Brandy was heated and placed in a wide, shallow bowl and raisins (which are then set alight) are placed in the brandy. The aim of the game is to snatch the raisins out of the burning brandy and to eat them, extinguishing the flames by closing the mouth and eating them, all at the risk of getting burnt.

the poems were lovely and I really enjoyed your style of writing. also Greece as a silk acrobat is a hot image...a very hot image. I love the idea of the circus and I think this was awesomely done.

- I imagine a Circus-verse (and Gilbert's idea of a circus musical) to be somewhat like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvDW4DRj7gc
- The last stanza of 4 was taken from this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqnLAhlW1c8... )
