A/N: Originally in hetalia_kink . Prompt was Japan reads My Immortal.
Badfic Your Way
Greece finally found out the way to get Japan really mad. Raging, in fact. So livid, he'd admit to being scared off his pants if he wasn't too busy laughing so hard.
It was a well-known fact that Japan was a true blue Harry Potter fan. During the time the book series was still unfinished and selling like hotcakes, he absolutely abhorred spoilers and sulked whenever England wore his spoiler shirts. Japan collected all the versions of the books he could find. The covers and illustrations of Bloomsbury and Scholastic fascinated him. His favorite version, though, was the Chinese one, in which even the allusions to mystical culture had been adjusted to fit their reading audience.
It didn't take long for Japan to discover fanfiction, much to Greece's chagrin.
The Mediterranean nation would come to visit as he would, initially puzzled and worried about the decreasing time they spent together, only to find his friend glued to the PC with large headphones over his ears.
Greece would watch Japan for a few minutes, wondering if it was really alright, leaving the house so unguarded while the owner sat fanboying over Ron/Hermione fics in his bedroom. At other times, he'd contemplate telling Korea that his brother sung along to a few Super Junior songs while he was at it, if only to blackmail him to get off the computer.
After a few weeks of such fruitless visits, Greece was struck with a brilliant idea. It looked good in theory, but at the time, he hadn't known that it would work well. Too well, in fact. Cutting back on two week's supply of cheese pies to pay for internet fees was worth every drachma.
Japan was no stranger to badfic.
He hadn't really read one but he knew not to touch (click in his case) judging by the title, the summary and/or the pename. Being the polite personified landmass-man he was, he simply ignored their existence, somewhat dismayed that such badfic authors actually existed and thought their works were the epitome of literature (air-headed as well as illiterate they were), but nothing more than that.
One day, Greece came to visit, bursting (or rather, pushing the slide door quite excitedly) in his bedroom, brimming with self-accomplishment.
Japan hadn't even considered asking how and why he had come without calling when a printed fanfic of over fifty pages was waved under his nose.
“It's about Harry Potter and it's hilarious,” Greece explained shortly. “Read it.”
And Japan did.
The East Asian nation didn't even finish the main character's overly long name before quickly skimming through the rest of the fanfic. His grip on the papers tightened and his hands shook with barely suppressed anger.
“Greece-san,” Japan began, trying to keep his voice steady. “If I may ask, what on earth is this?” He asked as politely as he could, given his rapidly thinning patience for anyone who had the gall to corrupt or even show anything remotely derogatory about his beloved fandom.
“'My Immortal',” Greece said cheerfully. “Cyberspace's best...worst badfic. Depends on how you look at it.”
China, who too had thought of dropping by for a visit that day, was met with the most impressive sight he had ever seen in short of five decades.
Japan, in his pajamas, was chasing Greece (who was laughing like whenever he did after pwning Turkey in some way or another quite loudly) out of his dojo with a thick wad of rolled up paper. China had never heard so many Japanese profanities in one afternoon.
Since then, Japan lost the heart to search for Harry Potter fiction and Greece kept a camcorder by him whenever he came to visit...just in case.
