I’ve. er. written Hetalia fanfic. USUK, f!Britain fanfic, no less. miserable angsty hetalia fanfic, at that.

I’m actually quite pleased with it, tenses aside. It’s a bit more subtle than America literally grabbing her arm and bitching about the NHS during one of his red scare eras, though I don’t know if in the fic it comes across as America being paranoid or him being more depressed and overworked and feeling isolated. oh well.

There’s also the change from a relationship where you used to be closer, where you used to be more equal. Still, she’s more understanding about America’s position than most. There’s some kind of historical/political commentary in that, I think.

Also, if you’re wondering where the title comes from: I used that song because I couldn’t come up with a title, and hey, picnics in the wood. I think the title works with the fic? It’s supposed to be fairly ambiguous.

you could, if you squinted, read it as a critique(/parody?) of how they’re both characterised in fandom, but I didn’t write it like that intentionally. I like to think I’m fairly chill about that sort of thing.

Get it here.  I’ve also added it to the Tokyo Babylon audio master post.
