[Because I saw the sniper-rifles-and-viking-ships comments after I wrote that first bit, and... that has to go in. It just does.]
It was a few days after the fruit basket arrived before either of them saw the card tucked to the side of the mango.
Sweden was the first to notice; he picked up the paper and opened it, glowering at the words on it.
"Hm."
"Is something wrong, Su-san?" asked Finland, glancing up from drying the dishes. There hadn't been much inflection in Su-san's voice, but he could just tell.
"Look 't this."
Tino set down his dish towel, reaching over to take the card from his husband's hand.
Dear Sweden and Finland,
Hey, thanks for beating those guys up! They keep saying I'm going to Hell for being too gay or something, and you don't say that kind of thing to a Hero, so they really had it coming anyway!
Oh--I should probably let you know, they're really pissed about the whole thing, and their latest press conference said they were gonna hop a plane out your way and stir stuff up over at your place. Thought I'd give you a heads-up! Anyway, hope you like the fruit basket--England said it was a good way to say thanks, so if you don't, blame him, okay?
-The Awesome United States of America
Tino blinked.
Sweden said nothing.
The door burst open, and Sealand came in, Hanatamago barking frantically at his heels. "Su-papa, Fin-mama!" he cried, in a panic. "A bunch of weird Americans are outside, and--why are you smiling?"
Tino patted him on the head, with the look of a saint.
"Peter," he said gently, "isn't Power Rangers about to come on? You should go upstairs and watch that."
Peter blinked. "Oh... right! I almost forgot--wouldn't want to miss that!"
As quickly as he came, he was gone, leaving his parents to look at each other for a long moment. Then:
"Do you remember where my--"
"Rifle? Top shelf 'f the tool shed." Tino could have sworn... if he didn't know better, he'd say Su-san had just smiled. "I'll cover ya. 'Til we get there."
Tino's eyes lit up. "You do that," he agreed quickly. "And I'll see about driving them towards the pond for you, all right?"
Behind his glasses, Sweden's eyes shone with affection. His wife really did know him...
There was a knock at the front door. Tino glanced towards it, then up at Sweden. "You said you'd cover me?"
Sweden nodded once. Finland leaned up and kissed him swiftly on the lips, a little bit of madness in his smile as he pulled away.

Do NOT mess with the hubby or the wife. Particularly when they haven't exactly put away the rifle OR the ship... Yay for America sending a fruit basket~ The horrifically awful/awesome default gift.

:D Writer!Anon, you get my flamboyant love. Like, you don't even know how much I love this fic.
The WBC protested in anon's town once, at a goddamn football game. It was Flamboyant!Anon and like, 300 others, versus about 5 of them. It was awesome. Some guy had cupcakes.
I now want a sequel where Finland and Su-San kick the crap out of them. Again. <3
Captcha: in fallible. Wai, yes. Those two are infallible. <3<3

Cupcakes sound AMAZING right now, actually. D: Sadly, it's twenty-til-two in the morning, and it would be slightly awkward to get cupcake mix at this point.

This Kans!anon lives less than an hour away from afore-mentioned nest of happiness and rainbows, and has had her high school graduation picketed by parents and (young, indoctrinated) children singing the "god hates fags" song. Not to mention every major culture or arts performance in the city. Apparently god also hates New York orchestras and Russian ballets.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT VIKING!SU-SAN AND WINTERWAR!FINLAND TO COME HERE AND UNLEASH SOME SERIOUS INVASION OF VITAL REGIONS!!!!11 INVADE US!!! INVAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!

PA?? That's crazy! I'm very sorry...
When they picketed my old high school a few weeks back, my younger brother and his friends (mostly jocks) wore hot pants and danced around in front of them. XD

BEST COMEDY FILL EVER. I AM LOLING SO HARD.
Just...the situation. And Sweden "didn't like his face" XD. And Finland going bonkers all over them. And America sending over the fruitbasket. And signing the card "The Awesome United States of America". And the rifle and viking ship. Holy crap.
Also, we need more asskicking-team-couple SuFin. It works so well.
