Original Request: In an alternate universe sometime in the future, people use steam power to power flying machines in Gothic, Victorian-style cities. Some of these amazing flying steam machines are known as Flightships, and are small flying car-like devices that are relatively small, and fit only two, three people at most. Flightships are piloted by private Skyfarers or separate private companies, unlike the public flying trains, and can be hired by those who can afford it to do various jobs, to the Skyfarer's preference. Some jobs include private transportation, escorting and shipping of goods and such. Yes, there are some 'sky pirates', known as Cloudraiders, that make livings off looting and stealing from other Flightships. But not all freelancing Skyfarers are Cloudraiders, some simply enjoy the freedom of flying without the restrictions of having a job to fufill.
Natalia Alfroskaya is a top-notch Flightship pilot. She's one of the most respected Skyfarers in the world, and even most of the Cloudraiders don't dare mess with her. However, while most Skyfarers tend to work in pairs of two per Flightship, Natalia has always and will always work alone. At least, that's what everyone thought. After a rather nasty incident that results in the destruction, or at least severe damage of her Flightship, and the pleading of her brother Ivan, Natalia is forced to take on a partner, whom Ivan and their sister Katyusha decide to choose for her. In the end, they pick the worst choice that Natalia could have ever dreamt of: A hyperactive, glasses-wearing, blond-haired, food-loving idiot named Alfred F. Jones. She is not happy.
But after working together for a while, Natalia learns that Alfred is more than what he seems to be, and after a few life-and-death situations, including a run-in or two with Cloudraiders, Natalia finds that she's begun to fall in love with him...
Okay, so obviously, the main pairing is America x Belarus, but anon can feel free to add in any other couple they want, as long as the main spotlight stays on these two. Feel free to cast the rest of the nations as anything you want! Extra kudos to you if you give Hong Kong and/or Thailand a cameo. Smut is not necessary, but anon can add it if they want. Human names please. Try to keep them as in-character as possible, please, but I will accept it if you bend or break a couple rules. Please don't genderbend Alfred or Natalia.
Notes: Alternate universe.
Summary: After destroying her third flightship, 5-Star Skyfarer Natalia Alfroskaya is sent to a new sector, and assigned a partner. She wasn't expecting that partner to be someone as the upbeat and infuriating Alfred F. Jones.
