Title: From Then to Now
Characters: Prussia (Young), Holy Roman Empire (Young in the first)
Notes: This is three drabbles put into one story technically, because they were too short to be separate posts. The first is called Awesome When Asleep, the second is Loyalty, and the third is Who He Likes. Consider it space-saving.

( He was cuter when he was asleep, when he was trying to look important, and when he was embarrassed. )

Title: Family
Characters: Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Austria, Northern Italy (Young)
Notes: The Holy Roman Empire has always seemed distant from the others, hasn't he? Just a step away.

( I am a stranger in my own home. )

Title: Heaven's Light / Hellfire
Characters: Holy Roman Empire, Prussia (Young)
Notes: ... I was listening to the Hunchback of Notre Dame's Heaven's Light/Hellfire for about two days straight and finally resolved to do something about my temporary obsession with the contrasts of Quasimodo's song with Frollo's. Please note that Quasimodo's song is ( Read more... )

Title: Easter
Characters: Prussia (Young), Holy Roman Empire (Young)

( I run my hands agaisnt the dark, smooth fabric and lightly touch the edges, a warmth filling inside me. )

Title: Nightmare
Characters: Prussia, Germany (Young), Northern Italy (Young), Holy Roman Empire
Notes: Nightmares are the most realistic things we encounter in our sleep. Almost like memories, aren't they?

Title: A Pokémon Tail - Feuer
Characters: Prussia, Germany (Young)
Notes: I was playing Fire Red when I came upon a Growlithe and had a sudden spark of inspiration. The Growlithe described is a rare Shiny Female Growlithe, distinguished from their non-Shiny counterparts by their golden fur. Feuer is German for Fire.

( It was a weird dog, the ten-year-old decided, with golden fur and strange black stripes running accross its back and legs. )

Title: War
Characters: Holy Roman Empire
Notes: War is moral; things that happen in war are not.

( 'War is nothing but a cleansing', my brother had told me once as he sliced a man in half for a crime he hadn’t even committed, 'a way to rid the world of the disgustingly evil. That's why God gives us his blessing to do what we do.' )

Title: Hate
Characters: Prussia (Young), Holy Roman Empire (Young)
Notes: Written on a whim, inspired by despairable circumstances.

( 'I hate you!' )
