Fanfic: Maritime

[8bit_oj]

                England had scoffed at first; however, it became their term of affection for the Atlantic, a pet name unique to them4. It made the distance seem smaller, more like a bridge than a cavernous, gaping divide. And if such a silly thing made the both of them feel better, who were the rest of the world to judge?

FFF, Thank you ;^; I thought the vagueness and uncertainty of whether the Atlantic was a personification or not was kind of cool, so I'm glad you liked that.

Yeah, I had always assumed that and then I searched online and saw stuff about it applying to Canada or other countries on either side of the Atlantic and went "WHAT." So yeah, I'm going with just the US and the UK.

How cute! I like how laid back the whole tone of the story is, as well as the atlantic ocean thing.

I've heard "across the pond" used before to mention countries other than England but it was probably once or twice and not anything formal like the news...

Thank you!

I thought the 'across the pond' thing seemed like a good plot point, so I used it. I'm pretty sure that most people only use it for the US and the UK, but in the end it doesn't really matter, I guess XD
