    Summary

    He staggers to his feet, head throbbing, and vaults the stable fence. Only he misjudges it, clipping the top of the gate with his shin and dropping over the other side like a sack of potatoes into a puddle that reeks of fish guts.

    A heartfelt 5+1 fic exploring some of the less glamorous years of England's life from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, and the ordinary humans that shaped him.

    *

    This is sort of a contribution to some of the discourse (positive!) that I've seen recently about the role of nation personifications in the hetalia universe and the many multiplicities they contain. It's also an indulgent piece of creative social history of work for my own enjoyment.

    Summary

    Arthur Kirkland, 27, has many issues in his day to day life, including but not limited to his dead end job, his chronically empty bank account, and the punk band he's fronting. His long since dead and buried love life is just another item on his laundry list of problems.

    Alfred Jones, 23, technically lives the perfect life: crown prince, flourishing kingdom, and all the perks that come with it... save one. Because while many a hopeless romantic is looking for their Prince Charming in the Kingdom of Spades, no one seems to actually want the kingdom part that comes with him.

    Neither of these two expects much of a dating app.
    Least of all to fall in love quickly, intensely, and worst of all, irrevocably.

    Completed.

    Summary

    Alfred is stuck reliving the same Friday the 13th over and over, and nothing he does seems to change it.

    That is, until he meets Arthur: a man who not only knows about the loop, but caused it.

    Summary

    Arthur Kirkland was not having a good week. It was such a not-so-good week that events had unfurled into him becoming a pirate. He had his reasons. At the time, these were good reasons. But consequences catch up eventually.
