America is visiting Japan in the middle of summer. The heat isn't the only thing Alfred is struggling with, though, as he has trouble accepting some of the changes that have happened since he last visited…

I couldn't think of who to write about for the last day that I hadn't already (a self imposed challenge I made myself stick to), so as a thank you to @aphnichepairweek for putting this week together I decided to write an Ameripan fic (since they mentioned in a post that they liked them)! :)

Honestly this was just an excuse for me to prattle on about Japanese culture and some of the cool buildings/trends/things I've learned about over the years. lol But there's LOTS of things Japan is famous for, so I feel like I actually didn't touch on anything at all... :,) But I felt like America would freak out over some of his fave things he enjoys when he visits Japan being changed, and of course these changes are nothing new to Kiku. Japan is just... like that. Very traditional yet always changing at the same time.

Having ousted the previous pro-Byzantine Doge in 804, Doge Obelerio agreed to recognize Frankish sovereignty over the inheritance of Rome in exchange for protection against Venice's Byzantine overlord. Now, a year later, the Doge goes to the court in Aachen to pay homage and take a Frankish bride.

Caught in the tension, Venice meets the self proclaimed Empire.

Belgium is waiting for Spain to arrive for their date. But when her brothers show up unannounced instead, what is she supposed to do?!

I know the 'space' prompt was probably meant to be interpreted as like, stars and planets space, but for the life of me I couldn't think of anything for that kind of space (or the other prompt 'minerals'), so I played a bit loosey goosey with the prompt and interpreted it as 'give me some space!'. Hope that's okay!

Belarus and America are going on a camping trip together when the sight of something grabs Alfred's attention and makes him pull over, much to Natalya's bewilderment.

I randomly found out not too long ago that the national animal of Belarus was the bison, so I already had the idea for this fic saved in my noggin for whenever I got around to writing it. lol So when I saw there was an 'animals' prompt, I knew it was time to write it!
