So, I write fics and stuff.

[Belgium]

I'm sure some of you have already seen these, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to offer them up to the ones that haven't.

I write a lot of Austria. And angst. And often enough, angsty Austria. XD The Nordics tend to show up in my fics a lot too since my best friend has a penchant for them.

I do have some newer ones, too, that I'll get up as soon as I have time to, er, 'canon-ize' them. (I write a lot of AU XD)

All links go to LJ.



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 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.'

You wrote that Austria and Belgium fic? Oh that's one of my favorites and its saved on my computer because I liked it so much. You write Belgium so playfully and flirty its impossible not to be drawn in by her. XD I've gotten many laughs picturing Belgium hitting on poor mean old Mr. Austria.

Huge fan of your work and I'm off to read some more of it. I'm really jealous of your writing style btw.

[Liechtenstein]

I read the AustriaxBelgium one, and I loved it. (Took me a good fifteen minutes, but. *shot*)

It was so funny and beautiful and sad~ <3

[Belgium]

Aww, thanks guys~ (Yeah, I know, that one was so long XD I basically sat down and wrote it in the course of three or four days, too. I blame the fact that trolling Austria is incredibly entertaining with any character. XD)

..."Poor mean old Mr. Austria" also made me grin like a complete moron for a good five minutes. AUSTRIA, YOU'RE SUCH AN OLD MAN, I SWEAR. XD

Anyway, found two more that didn't require loads and loads of explanation, so...


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: 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.'
