    Summary

    Everyone with a significant other has a story about how they met. Unfortunately for Arthur, his story involves the time he got so smashed that he ended up in an entirely different country...and no one is ever going to let him forget it. Particularly not his significant other.

    Summary

    An international conference—and too much pride and alcohol—results in a party of couples and non-couples playing The Newlywed Game. Some are hoping to win, and some didn't even want to play in the first place. But no one is all that surprised in the end.

    Summary

    Salieri turned to gaze at Mozart, and the symphony of yellow, orange, and peach coloured lights magically enticed him. Much like the technique of sfumato of the old masters, the outline of Mozart was gently and softly embraced by the lights. The colours saturated his hair, making it glossier and shiner, as if blessed by fairies, and unconsciously he held his breath. Then the musician also turned to look at him with a playful grin, fully aware of his prolonged staring.

    Summary

    Mozart has again created something beyond mere brilliance, a piece fit to make Salieri weep even in the silence of this room. But this room is a barren mess of empty wine bottles and discarded paper. It is cold enough in here to chill a man to the bone.

    Summary

    In high society, a romantic tryst is usually a quick way to raise your social standing or a method of blowing off some steam. But Antonio Salieri and Aloysia Lange may have missed the memo that it's easier to choreograph an affair when both parties involved aren't disastrously homosexual.

    Summary

    Salieri is already preoccupied with brooding about his emotions towards Mozart. He doesn't need to be receiving a frankly embarrassing quantity of anonymous love notes on a daily basis. And yet.

    Summary

    Once he has worked his hardest to destroy the only person he has ever unironically admired, Salieri does the sensible thing and gets well and truly wasted.

    Or:
    Salieri goes to see Mozart after he has died. The only problem is that he isn't quite dead yet.

    Summary

    Salieri didn’t quite understand what it had been about their conversation that had brought them to this moment, but he knew what the outcome would be. And in that moment, he didn’t care - no, that wasn’t the right way to phrase it - he wanted it all to happen just like he had imagined it time and time again.

    In the end, wasn’t hatred from a genius still worth more than indifference - he would be perceived by him, at least, he would be seen before being forgotten.

    Summary

    Salieri realizes that Mozart reminds him of a bird. And what do you do with birds?

    You cage them.

    Summary

    Petit Prince AU and Historical Hetalia combined

    Arthur goes to the New World and remembers/learns the true importance of living. All the while, he fails to understand just why Europe has become so heavy, and he struggles to find solace in the relationship between France and himself.

    Country names used. Highly references and uses ideas of characters, and plot motions, from Petit Prince while sticking to a mostly-accurate historical view of English history in the New World from 1700-1782.

    Summary

    Some days, it’s damned near impossible to ignore how off-kilter the world feels.

    Not when every single thing reminds Prussia of West, of what could have been, what should have been—

    —some days, it’s hard to carry on.

    But he pushes forward, because it’s a great fuck you to Him Above, he’s probably been destined for Hell since his first century, and Prussia owes as much to his brother, anyhow.


    or,
    In which Gilbert becomes Germany, yet stays Prussia in more ways than one.

    Summary

    "what else don’t you remember?”

    “Hell of a question, isn’t it?” Arthur hunched his shoulders, resting his elbows on his knees and putting his head in his hands. “You two are right, obviously, but also insane. In what universe do you see something wrong with your friend and immediately jump to retrograde amnesia?”

    Alfred shrugged, “Weird shit happens to us all the time. Honestly, I’m surprised it took this long for one of us to go all Fifty First Dates.”

     

    When trying to visit for lunch, Alfred finds Arthur unconscious on his living room floor. When Arthur wakes up, he has no memories of himself or anyone else. The rest of the FACE family tries their hardest to try to get his memory back, but each new piece of the past that Arthur brings up just tears open another old wound. Arthur is left wondering just what kind of person he truly is.
