I'm so relieved you like it! ♥ I wasn't sure how the story would go since I had a bunch of different ideas for possible scenes, but didn't know how to piece it together. It was less "normal, content relationship" than how they'd get together in the first place - I can put them up, if you like?
I would left this for someone else to claim, but I've a feeling that writers for/fans of this pair are few and fair between, and so it'd be left unfilled. Whereas if it was changed to US/UK, there'd be multiple fills. ):
Yes! I keep imagining the two going off to conquer the world together; particularly since England employed a lot of Hessian/German mercenaries to try and put down revolutions in US & Ireland. Particularly since the Revolutionary War had Hessian mercenaries on England's side, but the defected Prussian general training US troops, and German immigrants in the US fighting for the colonists- I can't decide if a) Prussia's "spirit" is with the troops rather than the government, and so it's Gilbert fighting alongside Arthur whereas the HRE or Ludwig (the "staid" settlers) on US side. b) Prussia's annoyed that England's paying so much attention to the colonies, and so he's helping the US break free in order to monopolize England's attention (in the same lines as the Fr/UK fill from part two!). c) Prussia developing some kind of schizophrenic! thing where he's simultaneously refusing to let England be defeated and yet not wanting America around.
... and I guess that was one of (or three of) the ideas for Pr/Uk that came up while brainstorming for this prompt. :)
(It's my first marriage proposal ♥ I'm so flattered!)
Of course I like it! And I would love to see more from you, author!anon ♥ Yes, the fanbase for this pairing is currently very, very small, and as much as I adore UK/US, Arthur should get around a hell of a lot more than that. ;((
I love your ideas, anon~ YES, Prussia was the most common nation England allied himself with back then (even if it was just to beat France up, even so!) And I can somehow see all of those three options play out; and Prussia does seem like the type to get incredibly jealous and sulky if someone isn't paying attention to him.
