An unusual little request.

Nation A is drinking something very strong just to feel the burn of it. Nation B sees them completely caught up in their moment, they ask Nation A if they can try some, and Nation A lets them. Kisses get exchanged that taste like whatever they’ve been drinking.
Ideal examples for drinks are really strong coffee, balsamic vinegar (yep, straight from the bottle), or any kind of alcohol. Though if alcohol’s involved, anon would prefer the characters to be buzzed rather than drunk.
Character-wise, anything goes. But if you need some prompting, anon’s favourites are Russia, England, France, and Prussia.
I know it’s a strange request, but I think it might be pretty neat if it ends up being written.

Not above potential author!anon, but I haven't really done justice to the idea (which I don't find strange at all), so I'm eagerly awaiting any other fills. ♥ It was late in the evening, but England found himself returning to the meeting room anyway. He had checked everywhere, from his bedside table to the dark, dangerous gap behind the fridge, but none of his explorations had yielded his lost pen. Rather than admit defeat and subject himself to the ridicule of other nations, once again declaring him the King of Losing Things, he had decided to track this cheap biro down if it took all night

Only England could have reacted to the lazy, smug reveal of France's profile, complete with self-acknowledged handsome jaw and glint in his eye, with any sense of negativity. France allowed to profanities hurled at him to wash over his head and continued to smile, content in the knowledge that this irritated his pompous company more than anything else. Irritating England was an art he was well practiced in and never failed to enjoy, even to relish

He frowned. Nothing so mundane should be able to entirely consume a person in such a way. Even as a casual witness he could almost experience that euphoria for himself, if not in the spine-melting, body-melting way France did. Admittedly, that was because he was fairly certain France could make putting on socks a sexual experience, but he still felt as if he was missing out on something

Absolutely stunning. So rich and detailed and sensual, I could almost taste it with them. But I love their bickering the best, just perfect. Excellent work, anon!

Never have I come across a fic which describe wine drinking and its experience in such a profound way. Everything seems to slow down once France gave England a taste of how it truly is.

Oh gosh, that was... well. Certainly one of the most profound ficlets I've ever read, at least. The imagery you conjured was wonderful- I could almost taste the wine, and the fact that there was French jazz playing whilst I read this (ironically, sung by an Englishman) just made it perfect.
That was a beautiful, beautiful fic, authornon. Thankyou.
France and socks, eh? Ask and ye shall recieve.

Francis hummed and clicked his tongue thoughtfully, his hands running over the fabric in his suitcase.
Arthur scoffed from the bed across the room. "Are you going to take all day choosing a pair of socks?"
France turned to him with a look that was astounding in its condescension. "And that, lapin, is why Paris is still the fashion capital of the world," he sniffed, plucking two pair from the suitcase and holding them against his shoes. "Attention to detail." He selected a pair. "Appreciation of small, good things." France unrolled them, looking . . . weirdly peaceful. He really does care about this garbage, England thought in astonishment. He actually pays attention to his socks.
"You see, Angleterre, the simple sock is really a noble thing. It is as weight-bearing as the shoe, but with none of the credit. It comes in beautiful patterns and colors and textures, and yet people like you," he sighed dramatically, "go about carelessly mismatching them as if they were no more important than an office accessory
