Late for a meeting Canada dashes for the elevator, slams the button and tries to catch his breath at the sound of girl of ipanema. Until he realizes he's sharing the ride with his brother's past archenemy (now friend), Russia. Awkward ensues. But it would've been okay, if the power hadn't gone out and they were now stuck in the elevator for god know how long.
The twist? They had had an affair during the Cold War, and Ivan had broken Matt's heart when he called it off for no apparent reason. (It can be for whatever reason, but I'd like something along the lines that Ivan did it to protect Matthew)
Sex is optional, but very much appreciated. ♥
Notes: A friend and I decided to challenge ourselves to fill the exact same request with a word limit of 1500 words.
As you can tell, I failed miserably! orz NUMBERS, WHAT ARE THEY. WHAT IS COUNTING. Dear kink ( ... )

Canada knew, even as he'd set the alarm last night (far too late!) that getting up so early was ambitious and possibly out of the realm of possibility. He also knew that the after-dinner coffee he'd ordered was a bad idea because he wouldn't fall asleep until the blue hours of the night. And it was decently cold in Oslo; he hadn't wanted to get out of bed --
And excuses, excuses, nagged a voice that felt suspiciously like England, we said nine am and we meant nine am!
And now it was nearly eleven-thirty and he was over two hours late for the working group on domestic security issues that the Netherlands had so kindly set up for them to begin discussing something relevant and derail somehow into the war on terror.
With any luck, he thought, as he rounded the corner and spotted an open set of elevator doors, marked above with a red arrow pointing down - he panicked and put in an extra effort for that added burst of speed, c'mon legs, don't fail me now! - that was where they'd be at ( ... )

"Of course there are failsafes," Canada said, standing up and approaching cautiously - like a terrified animal, Russia shrank back and Canada stopped. "There are failsafes," he repeated, insisting. "Trust me."
Wrong thing to say, he thought, because although Russia's breaths steadied and he calmed down, he glowered and crossed his arms over his chest. "It has been a long time since I have heard that," he spat.
Snapping: "I really don't think you've any right to comment."
With a sneer: "Maybe if you'd trusted me then we wouldn't have taken things where we took them."
In ire: "You're the one who broke up with me, ( ... )

"I didn't -"
"You haven't spoken to me since, Russia. Don't lie to me. This is the first time in thirty years we've even spoken face-to-face about something that isn't politics - what was I supposed to think?"
"Please, it is Ivan. You won the right to call me that, I did not simply ... revoke such privileges." Canada wouldn't have been surprised if he had. After all, if Russia attempted to call him Matthew now, he might actually slap the man across the face. "Things were different, then. You don't know the whole story -"
"You didn't give me any story!" Canada protested. "Your last words were, and I quote, I regret to inform you that this affair is over, best of luck in Lebanon and see you at the next UN ( ... )

"I was not the sole abstention! Czechoslovakia did the same!" Russia insisted, and though it was true, that wasn't the point, and Canada ignored the sad attempt at deflection.
"No, instead, your manpower was being redirected elsewhere in the Middle East. Instead, you were funnelling billions of dollars in economic and military aid to Afghanistan, so that you could invade it a year later!"
"That is what you think?" Russia asked. "Dorogoy, you think I used it as a distraction?"
"Don't you call me that!"
"You do. You think I used you as a distraction! It wasn't like that -"
"You're making it out to be like I'm some kind of bitter ex-boyfriend," Canada grumbled. "I knew where you were sending the money. America found out about it, so he told the rest ( ... )

"Perhaps not ended," Russia replied gently, tucking a lock of hair behind Canada's ear, "but merely paused?"
"Ivan..." he began, like a warning.
"I did not carry on with anybody else after you," Russia continued, his voice quiet and imploring. "I could not do it. Not for lack of trying - there was Afghanistan, and then Belarus has always had her interests. But -" and here he let his hand fall, slip gracefully past Canada's shoulder down his arm to hold his hand loosely with two fingers, as though wondering whether he would be granted permission for such an act, "I had never wanted you nearly so badly as when your brother made it perfectly clear you were off-limits. And there has been no one for me since ( ... )

Matthew ceased thinking in actual words - English or French - at all, and let Ivan lead him to the bed, having only the barest presence of mind to strip off his shirt before hitting the mattress. This was wise, because trapped as he was, pinned between the soft whatever that Norway had his hotel duvets made of and Ivan's wonderfully warm body, it would have been awkward to undress himself ( ... )

Ivan helped by wrapping his arms around his waist, by pulling him in and not letting him go. "I dreamt of this," he gasped between kisses, whispering in his ear once he knew Matthew was close (after all this time, Ivan still knew when). "Matthew, I wanted to drown in my dreams ( ... )

Lead up: Lebanon borders Israel to Israel's north (and Lebanon's south). From 1968 on, the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) and other Palestinian groups established a quasi-state in southern Lebanon and used it as a base for raids planned for northern Israel. Israel responded with its own attacks. Violence escalated back and forth (and also within Lebanon - the Lebanese civil war began in 1975 ( ... )

About Canada and Russia, they were very IC and since I really believed they deserved an happy endign, I'm very happy they got it :)
America was IC too, even without really being in the story. I want to say that I really like him and my head canon says he's not so much of a villain, but any story needs one bad guy, so simply this time it was his turn :)

How do you code that mouse-over thing for the translations? That's really really cool.

The mouseover thing is done by doing this:
Some Actual text!
which LJ will let you do straight up in the comments box even if you're on anon (which is really nice of LJ!)
Anyway that stuff produces the following:
Some Actual text!
Just copypasta what you want your mouseover text to be, and the actual text to be mouseover'd! Good luck anon!! <3
