@aphrarepairweek2021 Here's my entry for Day 1!
Prompt: Language
Rare pair : FraViet (France/Vietnam)
:::
thương [verb. Vietnamese] to love; to love tenderly
:::
The language was new, foreign to her tounge. The 'r' roll, the sing song tone, the way France said it like a love song which you would whisper to your beloved while holding them close to your heart in a warm, tight embrace.
-Je t'aime - She repeated after him, she got the pronunciation just fine, though her accent made it a little bit off. 
Je t'aime bien - Admittedly, she was.
:::
Vietnam crushed the half-burnt cigarette into the ashtray, a terribly awful habit of France that had rubbed off on her. She didn't smoke as much as before, she quitted on it long ago. At times when they couldn't be drunk and be frank with each other, cigarette was a better option than chug down half a bottle of strong alcohol. They had known each other for more than a century now, over the history, it might not be that long; but objectively speaking, that was too much time to be infatuated with someone and can't decide on what to feel about them.
They fought too often nowadays that everything seemed too real to handle. Love just seemed fake and the words came out of their mouth sounded like meaningless gibberish.
One time he read her a love poem and after many unfit responses that went in the trash, she wrote one back (then kept it neatly in her drawer).
:::
It was universally agreed that French is the language of love. 
He said it often. Je t'aime je t'aime je t'aime. It came naturally to him like breathing and living. She could never-
France told her he loved her once. She didn't trust it, he said that to everyone.
:::
God blessed a miracle and they were at peace with each other again.
It took them too much time to decide what to say to the other and what not to. They managed. Eventually, they were back at the starting point. It never occured to Vietnam that France actually liked her in a romantic way. That was just how westerners were, they said 'love' too easily, like it wasn't a piece of your soul that you devoted to your only beloved (after so many throughout thinkings and a life commitment), especially France, especially France.
It didn't make the word burnt at her throat feel any less better. It stayed there, persistently, whenever he was by her side. Je t'aime.
They were sitting at a cafe on the highest floor of Landmark 81, the traffic view was oddly amusing to watch. Suddenly, or as naturally as it get, France looked directly into her eyes and said to her in his very fluent Vietnamese.
-Anh thương em.
It didn't fully register to her that he meant it, she hoped he meant it.
-Anh đừng đùa với em như vậy! Anh-
(Don't you joke about something like that! You-)
-Oui. Anh thương em! - The word wasn't specified, but they well know what it meant.
Silence passed slowly between them. He smiled and caressed her cheek.
-It's okay that you don't say it back. I just wanted you to know.
Something in her eyes told him the answer. His smile grew more doting as she took the hand on her cheek to bring it to her lips. Not right now, maybe she would tell him later, Vietnam had always know her response to his words. She pressed a light kiss into his palm and the love language spoke for itself.
:::::
Translation
Je t'aime [French] I love you
Anh thương em [Vietnamese] I love you (thương can be used in a platonic way, if use in a romantic context, it means to love very deeply and strongly)

Would You Like a Martini?
In honor of @asexual-hetalia existing, transtalia and acetalia mix here. Enjoy!
Relationship(s): France/South Italy
Summary: To say Lovino felt a little lost in the dating scene was a bit of an understatement. And, as usual, "a bit" meant "so fucking big their goddamn brain was frying at the thought".
Notes: Uhhh nonbinary Romano and genderfluid France anyone?

So I cleaned up this drawing. (I liked it, but it was so...staticky/fuzzy in terms of the pixels, for some reason?) It was originally for the aphrarepair week in 2015, and the prompt for the day I posted this was ‘AU’, so of course I went with ‘Superhero AU’, because I am trash for superheroes XD.
I even came up with a fic idea for this (which I never got around to, oops): (Taken from the original drawing:)
In this AU, sixteen-year-old Icelandic-American immigrant Eiríkur Njörðursson is a superhero named ‘Eyjafjallajökull’ (much to the American public’s dismay, XDD). He has the very strange (and contradictory) powers of being able to control both fire AND ice*. One day, when he was on a routine patrol, he stops some thugs from beating up a terrified-looking boy. After talking to the boy, Eiríkur learns that his name is Raivis Galante, and that he was fifteen, and originally from Latvia. Suddenly, it dawns on Eiríkur why Raivis looks so familiar: they go to the same high school, and Raivis was the kid who always sat alone in the cafeteria. With this information, Eiríkur decides to befriend Raivis. However, it turns out he bit off more than he could chew, since Raivis has some powerful enemies. Not to mention, Raivis himself turns out to have some special talents. And all the while, Eiríkur is kicking himself, because he’s falling for Raivis. Hard.
*I am so irritated because these are literally Sho.uto Todo.roki’s (from BN.HA) powers X’D. I never even knew that manga was a thing until 2016; I was just going off of the whole ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ nickname Iceland has. 
I do kinda want to outline a fic with this premise (just because it would be fun figuring out what powers to give the characters).

9 ,15 ,34 for the ask thing
9. Do you enjoy reptiles as pets? why or why not? Yes! I love reptiles, just because they’re cute and cool, but if I have to find arguments, I guess they’re more practical? Easier to hold, to clean, and stuff. But I never thought of it, I just find them great with no reason ^-^
15. What is the dreamiest/most surreal thing that has ever happened to you?I don’t know. Sometimes I’m just in a car and look out of the window and the world looks so vivid and surreal, it feels like a dream more than reality. Or when I walk and look at the ground. Honestly, everything can feel like that, when I focus a bit and realize it is, in fact, a real thing, that exists in my world.
34. Who are your favourite tumblrs?(assuming you mean blogs and not people)Most people I follow, since I almost only follow blogs I really, really like. Pilferingapples, twilightjoltik-toumei, aphrarepairings?, occasionaly graemoon. And 292a (and kyuhu)’s art. But to a lesser extent, all I follow =)
Thank you for the ask!

@aphrarepairweek2021 Day 3 entry!
Prompt : Culture
Specifically food if you will
Pairing : Taiwan/Vietnam (Vietnam/Taiwan)
*
Vietnam knows trouble when she hears one.
- Viet-tan, honey! Would you like to try my new boba milktea recipe?
She looks away from her laptop screen and takes a gulp of water.
- No thanks sweetie, I'm on diet.
Sunshine pours in from the glass window and bounces off on vines of pothos leaves. Brilliant blue sky and crisp sunlight. If it weren't for quarantine and the 34 degree Celcius temperature outside, it would be nice to go out for a walk.
Taiwan appears beside her almost creepily, did she just teleport from the kitchen?
- I promise it's good! Would you just pass up authentic Taiwanese boba tea? I poured my heart into it~
Her voice is honey-dripping sweet, the feeling of guilt dangerously tugging at Vietnam, making it hard to say no to her girlfriend.
- Taiwan, I love you, but it has been the fifth time this week I had milktea for lunch. My metabolism is slow and you know how long that extra large cup keeps me full.
- If you really want to diet, you could've just turn down midnight hotpot when I ask you. - She replies, pouty.
Vietnam's indignant "Hey!" dies instantly as Taiwan continues her roast.
- And you are the one who mix up Milo powder with ripe fruits for snacks!
- I-
- Do I have to start with Sting and condensed milk? You sure have a surprisingly sweet tooth for someone on diet!
She stares down at her, fake displease and plenty playfulness.
- Fine, you got me! I'll try out your new recipe.
Taiwan giggles and leans down to peek on her cheek.
- I know you love me. Let's take a break, you're working too hard! This time I made it less sweet for you so no worries.
Vietnam gets up from her working desk and goes to the kitchen to grab 2 cups of boba tea on the counter. The 3 layers of green, white and pink sure is interesting.
When she gets to the living room, Taiwan is waiting with a bowl of pre-loaded seaweed crisps.
- What are we watching?
- The next episode is out! I have to see our girl Nanno bitchslap that Yuri!
- Sweets!
*
Notes
Milo is chocolate milk
This Sting mentioned is a strawberry flavored energy drink
Nanno and Yuri are characters from the series "Girl from nowhere"

@aphrarepairweek2021 Here's my Day 4!
Prompt: Historical
Pairing : France/Vietnam
---Notes : A little hurt, a little comfort, that's my fav recipe!
---Summary :
They've got history. And history isn't easy to forget. 
Their story so far was basically enemies to lovers. History rooted down and tied them up at their ankles; they cut their feet off and set the tree on fire, unbound, rebellious. History brought them together as well as tore them apart.
