I love this, N.I has the best inner monologue and his perspective on things is so charmingly awkward!

Also, France, he is so wonderfully human yet so…indescribable that I have to laugh. He's just thins thing that exists and everyone just tries to deal with it. I love how he;s written here! I actually feel sorry for him, wanting some company yet trapped with a family who really don't know how to be companionable at all!

Fred is the best fish. Some part of me hopes England has never even thought about replacing him and that Fred is actually immortal and nobody has noticed.

This makes me want to write N.I too. /although somehow it makes me want to write a scene about Wales even more/ I hope Scotland is okay. Though I imagine any negativity will be gone by the time he's reached the pub.

Your writing is great as ever. N.I as a character really brings out the dry humour of all these situations. Also he;s a cutie, who I imagine doesn't even take that shirt out of the bag, and just has a series of bags in his wardrobe that he frowns at when he's asked to wear something 'presentable' We can only hope France buys him something so well fitting and so sexy that he wears it and gives England heart palpitations. /I'm certain France isn;t above giving him ass-less chaps or something I dunno./

Loved this and sorry I can;t say more. Hoping you have a good time working on your next thing as much as this, as it was a delight to read it .

Thank you! North's now tied for my favourite POV to write. Wales' might be the most comfortable, but his is definitely the most fun.

Poor France... I imagine that he's so used to being the centre of attention most of the time (or, at least, demanding to be) that he just doesn't know what to do with himself. (I couldn't find a way to fit it into this, but I imagine that this was the point he starts North off plucking his eyebrows. He's just so bored that it seems like a good idea to set about 'improving' North like he used to do with Wales, and North daren't tell him to piss off like he wants to. He likes the way it looks afterwards, though, and thus a habit is born.)

Haha, and Scotland, England and Wales all think one of the others keeps replacing him, so Fred's secret remains undiscovered...

... And now I want to write some Wales' POV... I think I'll write some DV Llew/Dyl after this to ease me back into writing Deva again.

Thanks! Haha, I can just imagine France doing that (perhaps not going as far as ass-less chaps, but who knows...) and England is immediately suspicious of his motivations for doing such a thing and starts watching him with even more hawk-like intensity than before.
