Hws rarepair week day 2, hurt/comfort. @hwsrarepairweek2022
I do not know how to write hurt comfort please bear with my dumbassery.
It was strange seeing Arthur with Ivan, they seemed so different, one prickly and irritated and the other being childish and threatening, though both were equally murderous.
It started out benign, like any friendship between nations would, occasional chatter about the economy slowly tricking into more personal areas, though it took forever both both of them to admit they had undeniable similarities.
Only a select few others were initially interested, because let's face it, very few people would pay attention to what England and Russia were doing, most rather staying well away from the two. But the few that noticed were in their inner circles, people they would confide to and trust.
Canada, Norway, Romania, Belarus, Japan.
They all realised that the two were slowly falling for each other.
The both were undeniably lonely, living in large houses, empty and gathering dust after the people they had raised had left them, no one but themselves knew how bad it was at the start.
Neither had an easy childhood, as was to be expected of a nation, they coped with the constant loss in different ways, Arthur by growing desolate and seeming uninterested, pushing away affection and effectively secluding himself, while Ivan grew clingy and possessive, keeping people and things with him, due to the fear of them leaving him. Though he no doubt realised this exacerbated the process.
People were scared of them too, almost all having had many bad experiences with them, invasions, killing and controlling, both keeping parts of this nature caused some to still be afraid of them.
Truly their reputations were much more fear inducing than they.
So perhaps it wasn't such a difficult thing to imagine them together, Matthew seeing Arthur and Ivan knitting and gossiping over tea like old ladies, ardently avoiding any form of eye contact. Natalya wondering why Ivan went over to Arthurs place so often, Vlad wondering why he insisted on inviting Ivan. Lukas listening in to an angry and accidental love confession.
It made sense, and it seemed to work without reaching the general audience of nations.
Alfred knew though, no one thought he did, but he found out one day, and they seemed so natural with eachother, Arthur dozing off on Ivans side as Ivan was absentmindedly stroking his hair while knitting. They seemed so comfortable and just so domestic ,聽which is not a word anybody would use to describe either of them, but at that moment it seemed like the most natural thing in the world.
It was during a party, neither being the constitution for partying with lots of people, had both dissapeared, so when Alfred went to look for them, he walked in, thankfully silently, on the scene of painful domesticity.
They both looked so happy and Alfred did not want to take this away from them, he may have not liked Ivan, but he knew Arthur was a better judge of character than he.

Day 6: Pirates and Mermaids
Upon one summer's morning
I carefully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping
Where I met a sailor gay
And boy, was she! 馃槈
Tumblr media
I鈥檝e had this idea floating around in my head for a long time and I鈥檓 glad to finally have created it!
Yes, Natalya is a loooong mermaid. I just thought it looked cool and maybe a little ominous.

HWS Rare Pair Week: Free Day

It was about time I drew some Fem!Engpan!
Since I call the female versions of them Aster and Kiku (Kiku is a unisex name) I suppose they could also be...AsuKiku? AstaKiku? AsutaKiku? Something like that. 馃槅
