Say something witty
A thought or two.
09 December 2011 @ 10:21 pm
My presence in the Hetalia fandom has been pretty sporadic lately, but here's some ficcage I've managed to produce.
Title: Metronome
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and England
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: I've always pictured Austria as historically being a monarchist. XD He's just aristocratic enough that I can see him considering himself to be on the side of his nobility, and I've had a bit of a running joke about him offering sympathy to England over the American revolution--to the point of wishing him luck in quickly crushing it.
This is him talking to England not long after the revolution begins--more a character study than anything, but neat nonetheless.
( He has a certain inhumanity about him, something like a marble statue, too well-positioned to be true. )
Title: Under Cover of Darkness
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and France, offscreen HRE
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: I was doing research on the HRE some time ago and discovered an interesting little technicality--that the emperor at the time, pressured by Napoleon, ended up declaring the existence of the Austrian Empire before the HRE was actually dissolved. My headcanon of Austria and HRE's relationship has never been all that nice--due to the preeminence of the then-Archduchy of Austria, I tend to see Austria as having argued and vied with HRE for authority quite a bit--and I automatically interpreted this as Austria more or less betraying HRE at the last and allowing him to die. Austria being who he is, he didn't really want to go through with it, but I could see circumstances and a desire to maintain stability in his nation compelling him to.
So, yes, this is a take on that. Theodor is my name for HRE, and yep, there's such a small amount of dialogue that I felt it'd be fun to put it into French (as, historically, they'd be speaking. My French isn't fantabulous, but my mom used to teach it, so I have resources other than Google Translate. XD) Proximate translations are provided at the end, if you're curious.
(On a side note, I love interactions between Austria and France. They're both so gentlemanly and I can so see them having epic battles of wits. XD Not to mention the fact that they do have kind of a tempestuous history--there needs to be more written about them.)
( They are all vultures at heart, traitorously turning on old allies. )

Some of these are more drabbles than anything, but...heck, I haven't had time to write anything particularly long. Hopefully now that I'm off for the summer I'll get some longer stuff in.
Title: A Kind of Despair
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria/Belgium, Spain and France
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mention of blood, sensuality
Summary: De-anon from the kinkmeme. After he takes over her lands in 1713, Belgium sets out to capture Austria's heart, causing him to reconsider whether his strict self-control is worth as much as he thought.
( He would think, sometimes, about how quickly she must be able to undress without the excess hooks and ties, and how the frame he saw glimpses of would be the same beneath—and then he would catch himself, stumbling over a word and clearing his throat, folded fingers tightening. )
Title: Common Time
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Germany, mention of Hungary
Rating: PG
Warnings: A little bit of gory detail.
Summary: Short WWI Austria drabble.
( As of yet he can still delude himself into thinking the world is clear and refined, that he may conduct diplomacy from parlors and rule the world over tea, and no matter how hard Ludwig looks he will not find a thing. )
Title: Chains
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Poland, Austria, Prussia and Russia
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mention of blood
Summary: Short First Partition of Poland character study. Poland is brought in to the men who will tear his nation apart, each wholly dangerous in their own way.
( Gilbert, wolfishly alert beneath his outward indolence, looks at Feliks meaningfully and communicates a whole paragraph of victorious obscenities simply by passing his tongue over his front teeth. )

Recently re-found this and thought the comm might get a kick out of it. XD I was bored one day and decided to do one of those '100 things' lists of every ridiculous thing Prussia might try to do in meetings out of boredom, written as a sort of airing of grievances in Austria's prissy voice. Hope you enjoy!
(Also, for clarification purposes: Vincent is Netherlands and Henrik is Denmark.)
( The speakers’ list is determined by the chair and you are not allowed to invent new ways of determining the listing order. Armwrestling, guessing games, dance-offs, duels, video gaming competitions, monster truck battles, or popularity contests are never acceptable means of doing so. )

My Denmark visited me over break and we had a cosplay shoot together~ And I finally got around to finding where the heck my camera charger went so I was able to upload the pics for you guys.
Hope you enjoy! (Warning: super image heavy, of course. I'm actually only going to include the best ones on here and link to photobucket for the rest. XD)

Have a fic and two de-anons from the kinkmeme.
Title: The Dress
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Belarus, Russia
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mention of a self-inflicted wound and loads of angst.
Summary: Inspired by, of all things, Once Upon A December. I had a vivid vision to that song of Austria dancing in some ruined palace with Belarus while she was wearing...well, you'll see.
Roughly historical--it takes place after WWI, when Roderich is divorced and without his empire, and follows an alternate headcanon in which he's booted from his position as a nation.
Also, keep track of when the characters' names are actually first mentioned. I felt that I pulled something kind of interesting there. XD
( They smell like potpourri and decay, and as she looks at them and imagines the skirts twirling and sleeves draping from strong arms she wonders if that is what love smells like. )
Title: The Letter (god my titles are so creative I can't stand it)
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Chibitalia, mention of Hungary and HRE
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: De-anon from the kinkmeme. Roderich ends up awkwardly comforting Feliciano, who is upset about HRE's leaving. Fluff ensues.
( With a sudden jolt of emotion, he bolts the two steps between himself and Roderich and wraps his arms around Roderich’s waist, burying his face in his chest. )
Title: Picture-Perfect
Character(s) or Pairing(s): AustriaxHungary, Russia, passing mentions of Turkey and Germany
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Physical abuse (mostly slapping and hair-pulling), suicidal thoughts, non-lethal gun violence
Summary: De-anon from the kinkmeme. As Roderich's empire starts coming apart prior to WWI, his mind begins to crumble with it, and Elizaveta bears the brunt of his madness. Basically a very dark take on Austria-Hungary.
Most of the history was gleaned from wiki, so I apologize for any blatant errors, aside from some things I intentionally decided to attribute to the characters themselves rather than their citizens (like what happens at the end. Guess what assassination that parodies!)
( It is all the things that make a couple decent and respectable and more—heroic, even, in their partnership—and yet, many nights she looks at herself and her reflection looks back and she wonders just how hard it would be to put a knife through her own throat. )

Finally went ahead and decided to put more up here. Derp.
Title: Lunacy of Greed
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Belgium, France, brief appearances of a few others
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Lots of kissing and Roderich acting like a possessive creeper.
Summary: Yeah, I'm the chick who writes Austria/Belgium. XD This fic takes place around the early 19th century, prior to Belgium's independence and after Austria has handed her off to France. Belgium, a little resentful, decides to try and provoke Austria's jealousy. Austria, torn between his desires and qualms, takes the upper hand to show her how little she matters on the world's stage.
( He breaks his kiss and shoves her face into his shoulder and mutters breathlessly, sullenly, “You should know better than to do this to me.” )
Title: Needless Fears
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Prussia
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: In a lot of my more AU stuff, I like to depict Austria as actually being the ruler of his country rather than just its representation. This more or less originated as a simple character study of him in that kind of setting, then turned into an interesting little scene involving Prussia taunting him and playing off of his insecurities.
( Roderich folds up the sheet, gives a curt goodbye and proper bow, and is halfway out of the tent when he hears a low chuckle behind him. )
And as for you that watch my AU fics on my blog, I've been putting a lot of those out lately and so will be getting some more up soon.

One thing that's always kind of kept me from showing off my fics at large is that I tend to write in very unique, specialized universes of my own, but I realized recently that I've been turning out a couple fics that aren't that enshrouded in loads of headcanon, so I figured I could tweak them a bit and show them off without much explanation. ^^
I have a particular affection for Austria, if it isn't obvious.
Title: Lamplight on Water
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria, with brief appearances of Germany, England, America, and a few others.
Rating: PG
Warnings: None. I did put two treaties that occurred in different places both in the same scene, in case any historically inclined people out there are wondering.
Summary: A take on Austria's reaction to his losses after WWI.
( He kept his gaze ahead and saw nothing. He kept his arms at his sides and felt nothing. )
Title: Running
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria, mention of Norway.
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: This rather interesting tidbit was from a WWII universe my friend![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
mynapyrrhuloxia and I played around with around the time I first got into Hetalia. The basic premise was that Austria, after being absorbed by Germany, became a messenger of sorts for him during wartime, helping to deal with the countries he overtook. Though he was loath to admit it, Austria took the role mainly to get away from his country, with all its associated memories of his lost empire and wife.
So yeah, this is more or less an angsty drabble about that.
(Oh, and fyi: 'empathy' is my term for the connection a nation has with their citizens.)
( There is a part of him that still believes (in the dark, when his imagination flows best) that if he stretches out his hand he might touch the curve of an arm. )
Title: Surrender
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria and Norway, mention of Germany
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: Same universe as the above fic. Norway surrenders to Austria, who is there on Germany's behalf. Inspired a bit by how at the time of its surrender, Norway had fought the longest out of all the territories that Germany took over--it held out for about two months.
( So this was how it went these days. War is civil, conquest is courteous. )
Title: Politics of the Heart
Character(s) or Pairing(s): AustriaxBelgium, with mention of France, Prussia and Hungary
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: Here, have something that's actually sizeable. Yes, weird as it sounds, I do ship AustriaxBelgium, and this fic--based on Austria's gain of the Southern Netherlands--is basically the story of their relationship. I had quite the fun time coming up with Belgium's rather rebellious, flirty personality and playing her off of prim and proper Austria. XD
Something to note, btw, is that I picture Belgium as being physically in her late teens at the time and Austria looking like a twentysomething. Oh, and I named the Netherlands Vincent Verstraeten, while Belgium is Celia Verstraeten.
( “No,” she says again, just to taste it, and then she closes the distance between them, placing her palms on his back and pressing her lips to his cheek. )
