So yeah. Delays again. *facepalm* I blame moving to a new city?

On the plus side, this chapter has Bess.

Also, this chapter made me cry. Stupid England.

She lowers them, finally, and smiles at him. “My Nation,” she says, and her voice, at least, holds steady.

His doesn’t. “My wife.”

...and this is when I lost it.

Oh shit. Just. Oh. Shit.

I'll give more coherent thought later but America you adorable dork. ♥

[puella_nerdii]

Yeah uh to be fair that's where I lost it when I was writing this, so. Uh. I feel your pain?

oh god ENGLAND

America is such a doof. Fortunately, it works for the role!

[twistedsheets10]

Yeah. I mean. Four hundred years man. Four hundred years. And that they call each other husband and wife is just. ;___;

(and Essex is a bastard. I like his mom though, oddly enough. Ohoho. I see a mention of his future stepfather, too.)

God, I loved that bit with the lady sighing and America being mobbed. Haha. XD And how the people are like "Oh, it's OK if this is strange, he's a foreigner after all."

[puella_nerdii]

Well, he never did marry anyone else. And she's the only mortal woman he's ever loved, and -- basically England and Bess break my heart and then stomp on all the bitty pieces. gaaaaaaaaaaaah.

(You do indeed! *grins* I love little references, what can I say.)

Precisely! America is ~exotic~ and all that. Plus, he's tall and blond and athletic and dashing and actually washes, I'm sure he gets his fair share of admirers.

I don't even want to imagine what a wreck England would be when she does die. To be replaced by a Scot, too. ;___;

I can't even imagine what kind of feelings England felt when he touched Bess, when she kissed him. It's just. Oh God.

...haha. He's gonna be insufferably smug for a while, isn't he?

[puella_nerdii]

Salt in the wound, man. Salt in the gaping bloody wound.

I thought about trying to add in more description there, but honestly, I don't think words can do what's going through his head justice. Just. Wow.

Most likely. But he's so cute when he's feeling on top of the world. (Uh. Sometimes.) Oh, my country.
