Order And Willing

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Order And Willing - Prussia/America (sort of).
You call this a fucking army?
Genre: Drama, where America kind of gets his ass kicked. But there's some unexpected heart-to-heart there, too.
1778. R for violence.

Emergency pinch hit for the aph_rarexchange! That makes three fills total. Am I indie yet?

At first I was wondering how on earth Prussia/America was going to work and by the end I was laughing gleefully -- excellent work! (And during the Revolution, too...I was a tad confused until I realized that Prussia does not equal Hessians around two lines into the fic, and then I was okay.)
The "What have we learned?" parts are so hilariously condescending and Prussia. Hilarious, and yet a bamf. Such a scary bamf.
Even though I was laughing for a lot of the fic, the serious parts, mainly America willing to shoot England when England was not quite willing to shoot him, were almost chilling. And awesome.
(I loved the footnote about the cursing. Oh, how I wish I had an interpreter who would tell me all the swears I would ever need to know....)

Yeah, the HRE is my Hessian stand-in, usually.

Oh, I'm really glad you feel like that worked. ♥

I saw the date and I saw the pairing and I was like "shit is this really..."

von Steuben!Prussia = oh god I have no words. It's a ROLE MADE FOR HIM DAMMIT.

I also like the direction you took it in. Pulling no punches. Visceral.

I want to say more but I have to go, so... awesome job!

As far as I can tell, von Steuben pretty much was Prussia.

Have I said I fucking love your Prussia?

Because I do. So hard.

(Were you to ever write something with him and France, I would be well and truly slain. Not that I'm angling or anything. Just...puttin' it out there.)

You like Prussia/France? You've never said! What about them? I can think about it, anyway, if I know what you like about the pairing.

I didn't think I did until I read this. And then thought about it a little bit. And then realized it was really only your Prussia and France. I am pretty sure I am fascinated by the Spain/Prussia/France dynamic anyway, this is just icing on the cake. I feel like France and Prussia just have a great deal in common; and I think they've got one another's numbers kind of like England and France do. Without the same level of intimacy, of course (or detestation), but. I just like the idea that they can see through one another's bullshit, to a degree.

God, all of Prussia's dialogue is perfect. How do you do it?

[pyrrhiccomedy]

It's all a matter of channeling your inner crazy son of a bitch.

-insert incoherent squealing here- I have been in love with the American Revolutionary War since eight grade. And I freaking love you so hard for this story.

Baron von Steuben is right up there on my list. BAMF. Man needs more recognition. Along with Kosciuszko. -insert more incoherent squealing-

I love Prussia here. He's completely in character, and his awesomeness is shining through :D

(why don't I have a Prussia icon?)

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Oh man I would LOVE to write Kosciuszko fic. I think I've seen it all of once.

(why don't I have a Prussia icon?)

Why don't I have a Prussia icon? I think I've reached the point where I've ficced about him enough that it's just embarrassing not to have an icon.
