also looks like you didn't close one of the italics tags right, in the middle there

also "He's wondered how it would to watch the person you love" is there a 'be' missing in there?

[counterheist]

He just never thought, in all his years of innocent, curious wondering, what it would be like to have that somebody being the only one growing old.

FUCKING HELL THIS FIC THIS LINE FUCK FUCK FUCK

I'm still sad about writing that but I have no sad icons.

This was brilliant

Really brilliant

And what's odd is I haven't actually heard of this trope before... and although I'm also not fond of those "unification and there's only one" stories this one was just so heartbreaking gah

I'm glad you like it, thanks for reading! I was a little ehhh about writing it, but gotta go out on a limb sometimes I suppose.

Uuugh I love this soooo much even if it gave me way too many feels. I love the idea of a nation becoming human instead of just disappearing and honestly, I find it way way sadder that way, because now instead of this quick departure that allows one to move into mourning pretty quickly, you have this weird situation where both Romano and Spain know that Romano's dying and they're both mourning that and feeling that loss while he's still alive, and it's just so freaking depressing. The little scenes that you chose to highlight, like seeing the first wrinkle, were so perfect and punctuated that sadness. Angst attempt is successful!!! AH LOVE YOU BB.
