Summary
In the war-torn year of 1812, Gilbert follows a phantom pain to a secluded monastery in the Rheingau. He does not seek sanctuary, but confirmation of a rumor that, if true, could alter the future of Europe. There he finds the boy: Ludwig; though the Holy Roman Empire is dead in name, Germany persists as a physical remnant of a people yet to be truly unified.
To do so, the German lands must be united under a single banner, sharpened into something that can endure, unmistakably stamped with Prussia’s iron will. He takes Ludwig in, shelters him, breaks him, and rebuilds him—not just as a brother, but as his greatest project. For Ludwig, becoming Germany comes at a cost. Raised in the shadow of war and expectation, he is taught to trade poetry for obedience, memory for purpose, and doubt for duty, until the question is no longer who he was, but what he is being made into.
tl;dr: a historical and canon-divergent retelling of Germany’s nation-building process in the 19th century.

Summary
// THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY PAUSED !!!
A series of historical one-shots exploring the complex relationship between Germany and Prussia during the 19th century, following Ludwig as he grows from a young teen into adulthood. Canon-divergent! It's my creative playground where I experiment with story ideas (especially re character development). I’m currently working on my first long-fic like ever, which will explore the same time period and concept, but in greater depth, giving the characters and their motivations, their wants and needs and space to breathe.
What to expect here: Germany, still in his adolescence and struggling to define himself, yearns for recognition as his own nation — but Prussia has other plans. Determined to mold the boy into his ideal vision of a nation-state, Prussia exerts relentless pressure, stifling any spark of independence or revolutionary thought before it can take root. Yet, quiet character moments happen - even between these two bullheads.
Tags and warnings will be updated as needed. I try not to over-tag, so I choose tags that best reflect the overall theme of the one-shots. Most one-shots are high tension and conflict-loaded. Characters appearing differ from story to story.
