    From the words of Jose Manuel Romualdez, Philippine ambassador to the United States: "US-Philippine relations have not always been without its highs and lows. Although through it all, what has remained constant is our two countries’ commitment to each other."

    Summary

    In the 1840s, the British Empire shadows the world, but a bitter quarrel between Wales and England tears open an old wound. In his fury, Wales strikes too deep, and Arthur’s composure shatters. From his own lips falls a confession darker than Dylan ever imagined. Now admiration twists to revulsion, envy to guilt, as Wales confronts the terrible secret at the heart of their island.

    "He needed lessons—reminders—that I’m no country to be trampled.” Scotland's gaze drifted past Wales then, focusing on the coat of arms of the British Empire hung above the fire— the rampant red lion of the north and the golden lion of the south, bound together by crown and shield. The firelight shimmered across it, making the lions seemed to snarl, claws poised. For an instant, Wales was struck with the illusion that the centuries had peeled away—that before him stood not the noble of empire. For indeed, Scotland’s teeth bared faintly, something feral flickering across his face, reminding Wales of those shadowed times when his brother’s skin had been marked with woad, blue spirals of warrior tribes winding over flesh like living symbols of defiance.
    “Whenever he bared his teeth, I made sure mine cut deeper.”

    Summary

    Getting transported to the past? Tricky. Getting transported to the past with old gods who are fascinated by you? Trickier. Getting transported to the middle of the Trojan War and you and your girlfriend are on different sides? Now that's just mean.

    Or, Annabeth and Percy travel back to Ancient Greece during the Trojan War, but end up on opposite sides due to conniving parents and old god grudges. The gods are much more possessive than either child remember them being.

    Summary

    “You know,” Indonesia begins, idly spinning the cap of his soft drink on the table in front of him, “I never took you - any of them, actually - for the clubbing type.”

    Singapore’s eyes trail over to the front of the stage. It’s easy to pick out Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia from the crowd of dancing patrons - between Philippines’s constant shoulder shimmying, Thailand’s surprisingly good footwork, and Malaysia bumping into Thailand every few seconds. Indonesia and Singapore had refused to join them. “It’s… I don’t know lah. I used to come here after school a lot. Helps me forget about all the crummy nation stuff we have to deal with sometimes.”

    -

    Between three points of time in the late 19th century, six Southeast Asian nations bond over the very human pleasures of cabaret music and dance against the backdrop of an ever-changing political climate.

    Summary

    Arthur Kirkland was not born as a Great Empire.

    He was born with the fresh soil beneath his feet and ancient songs in his blood, nothing more than a boy in the woods who was plucked from his lands and haunted by the mist. Then he was a proud warrior, an ancient king, a feral pirate, a heartless conqueror, a distant father, a terrified soldier, and a bitter old man.

    This is a character study about England, Arthur Kirkland. The experiences of his life and how they shaped him into the person he became today.
