I went with a fairly young America for this, seeing as the trials took place in 1692. It's fairly serious. Maybe another anon can try a lighter response? Anyway, I hope you like, OP!"Tell me a story, England!" America begged him. "Please, just one

"I gave him a taste of his own medicine," England smirked. Oh yes, this was the part that made the story palatable. "The stupid git forgot I knew where he lived too. So I figured out the spell he made, made one up three times as strong, and sent him it right back." He stroked America's hair again, not immediately noticing how the boy had stilled under his hand.
"You...you cursed him?" America asked softly.
England snorted. "Served him right." He looked down at the boy with a smile, only to have it slip away as he saw the look of absolute horror on America's face. "America...?"
"You're a witch?!" America shrieked up at him, sitting straight up

"You will!" America sobbed, muffled against him. "They've been hanging witches, England! Over in Salem Town, and now they're starting in Ipswich and Boston." He pulled his face away from England's chest and looked up at him with determination. "You have to confess and recant your sins, England. That's the only way to save you

That was brilliant. You managed to get a good balance between cute and creepy, and between historical and personal. That line about England being ready to give up his good name to keep america= so much win! And sort of true as well.

Loved it! I went to Salem, oh... 5 years ago--brilliant place. This was wonderfully written and had a brilliant plot--the religious themes were handled really well.
Only tiny nitpick that this history geek would have (and granted the era in question is not my specialty) is this: Mary Queen of Scots had in fact been kicked out of Scotland 20 years previous to her execution for--among other things--murdering her husband, and while she did have her supporters Scotland had pretty much washed his hands of her. Elizabeth actually wrote to her son James VI asking if he'd be willing to take her back so Elizabeth wouldn't have to execute her (the idea of a queen being executed didn't sit too well with old Bess) But he didn't seem to care either so ironically, that period was one of the higher points of Anglo-Scottish relationships.
There are of course, many other periods in which the curses were probably flying faster than speeding bullets, so other than that--brilliant little ficlet!

I second that. That was soooooo ADORABLE, and it totally made my day, but England was none too kind to his witches. And what about IRELAND!? *pouts* sorry, that was brilliant, anon.
can be serious or cracky, up to anon

They're so touching together. :)
Another fact about the Salem Witch Trials was that no ONE who was hanged ever confessed to being a witch. Those who confessed, however, was spared.
