USA is a poor, uneducated peasant, with a sickly but clever brother who could go far if they had money. He catches a lucky break when he gets hired as a stable boy in the unmarried Queen of Spades (UK)' castle.
He isn't so lucky when he catches the eye of the lascivious Queen himself. He might be earning more by warming the Queen's bed, but he hates his lack of independence in the matter.

Main pairings: UK->US (eventual UKUS), eventual Franada. And also the other Arte Stella king/queen pairings to a lesser extent.
I hope OP doesn't mind the additional pairings and whatnot. :) Or the lame title
While the USUK will be the main pairing, of course, and always will, later on in the story it'll likely become more of an ensemble thing with the other characters... So expect more of Mattie and a couple other major characters as this goes on. :)From his spot on the filthy ground, Alfred smiled brightly up at the passing merchants and shoppers. Most of them ignored him, probably not even noticing him as they hurried by. Begging peasants were just an everyday part of the scenery in the busy market

Alfred quickly counted the money again, grin widening when he realized he had enough. He sent a silent thank you to the giddy noble girl and stood up with his bowl, stretching out the cramps in his legs. Alfred all but ran from the market, toward the apothecary he went to nearly every day. It was a small, dark shop, air thick with smoke and shelves lined with colorful bottles and bags of herbs

While the water heated, Alfred tugged out the food he had acquired that day. He set the chunk of bread and apple down on his own blanket. “Looks good, huh

*gasp!* I don't even know what kinda crazy universe this is set in, but I love it. <3 I feel Alfred's love for his brother, and the mutual guilt they seem to share. I can't wait to meet Arthur - who seems quite ambitious (maybe)? Hahaha, I don't know, I'm just enjoying this fill. ;3
also he can't reeeeaaaadd awwww MY WOOBIE BUTTONS, YOU ARE PUSHING THEM

“In the name of the four gods, shut up!” The guard flung Alfred into the dungeon, glaring at him with exasperation. The other guards followed after him, looking just as annoyed.
“No!” Alfred surged forward, only to be grabbed again. “You can't lock me up, dammit! You can't!” Panic was started to well up inside him as he looked around the dungeon with wide eyes. At the barred cells... “My brother

Matthew was still conscious when Alfred returned, at least, staring at the small flame of the lamp. “Al...?” He looked up, still wide-eyed and stunned
