In the DDR, Prussia had dreamed.

“Love?” Gilbert takes another swig of alcohol and nods. This probably isn’t the kind of topic he should be thinking about. It’s just not manly. Not Prussian. “Ve~ why not? It’s a good feeling, always.”

In the DDR, Prussia had dreamed about the land beyond the Iron-Curtain, everything that had once been his. Gilbert had loved his empire that he had fought so desperately to obtain- and why not? Tooth and nail, every inch of dirt was beloved to him.

Then, it had been taken away from him. Bastards.

Watching a bar-maid stir a wooden spoon on Austria’s orders, he wonders why Ludwig isn’t here with them. But Ludwig’s busy- always busy. The bar-maid seductively stirs the pasta. “Where’s my brother?”

“With me, of course.” Italy rolls his eyes, grin is stretched beyond normal dimensions. Austria, on the other side of the table, listens to his iPod. “Silly Prussia. I still exist ( ... )

It’s not a simple thing for a country to visit another, despite the illusion of ease it gives. That’s the strange in-between world that entities like Poland and France and Germany have to tread. It’s a world where they eat and have sex and watch TV, but where earthquakes cause broken bones and treaties make new friendships. Where your opinion is decided by a vote; where love begins personally but ends in free-trade agreements. A country’s emotions and visits coincided with state movements. Aside from Italy (who made no sense anyway), a visit was boss-to-boss and mutually agreed ( ... )

“Okay, now I know you’re drunk. That was hardly in German. You speaking some old dialect or something?” Prussia winces and falls slowly into a wobbly sit. What on Earth was he doing? He was far too awesome to vomit in front of some cute chick ( ... )

In the dark, Gilbert traces fingers softly over the planes of his chest, eyes closed. He’s absent, somewhere else: nowhere here in Germany at least. His muscles are just muscles, his arteries not underground aquifers ( ... )

“Ludwig?” His voice is small in the night air. Germany rubs his eyes and finds his brother is a slumped shape draped in shadow-blankets ( ... )

“Hello, Gilbert.”

“What are you doing here, brother? Wait. You need me to talk to that waitress down on Schiller again.”

“No, I-“

“Ludwig, I swear, if I weren’t so awesome with the chicks, you’d be in a hell lot more trouble. Jeez. Fine, I’ll go talk to the wench.”

“No, Gilbert-“

A savage grin, sharpened swords and an older brother’s wit. “I know- Feliciano can’t hear about this. Not his fault his boyfriend turns straight after a few beers-“

“Gilbert. I didn’t molest that bar maid.” He didn’t. Because, well, Ludwig can’t. “I just…came to call ( ... )

No man is an island. Gilbert is not (used to be) a country.

Did you know?

Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Conditions in east and West Germany are still not even- East Germany is economically worse off.

Ostalgie is a nostalgia for the DDR times, currently trendy in the east.

The Prussian Kingdom had stretched over much of the northern part of Germany and further east into current Poland and Czech Republic.

In 1871, approx. 2.4 million Poles lived in Prussia.

Countries catch Recession. Humans? Catch colds.

'Prussia' was dissolved by the Nazi rule in 1934 and officially closed by the allies in 1947. Since then, Prussia has not appeared in German geography.

The Iron Cross was a military decoration which became a national symbol of the Prussian Empire.

<3not!op

Re: author's note anonymous July 22 2009, 18:13:00 UTC

Amazing anon, amazing. It's simply amazing to see him go through this painful progress and somehow end up with his own sort of... contentment as a human. I smiled at the end but still felt sort of sad for the end. Superb job anon, this is great~

Re: author's note anonymous July 22 2009, 23:00:51 UTC

You just fucking broke my heart, anon. :(

Re: author's note anonymous July 22 2009, 23:53:18 UTC

This was fantastic! So beautiful! You really captured perfectly the transformation from country to human! I could feel my heart breaking for him a bit more at every part! But the end - ohhh, I don't know what to feel. I'm so happy for him, but at the same time... he's lost part of himself!

♥, author!anon. ♥

OP here anonymous July 23 2009, 02:29:50 UTC

author!anon that was absolutely lovely. I loved every minute of it. My heart broke at the church in Poland, I love you for that. The transformation from nation to human was heart breaking, Prussia being a proud country and all.

You have made my day author!anon! it's not even midday yet so thats saying something. Excuse me while I also save this to hardrive. I love you author!anon!

Re: author's note anonymous July 23 2009, 04:13:26 UTC

That...that was...I can't find the words to describe it (though "The Twilight Zone" somehow comes to mind). It reached deep into me and pulled at my heart. I could feel Gilbert/Prussia's slow and painful transition from nation to human so clearly, and the ending just slayed me - Gilbert lost something he'll never regain, and yet he finds happiness of a sort. Beautiful, beautiful piece with just the right amount of emotion in it. (Huh. I guess I did find some words to describe the fill after all, though I don't know how much sense I made.)

Re: author's note anonymous July 23 2009, 17:35:47 UTC

This was both heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time!

Heartbreaking at seeing Gilbert slowly losing his memories as a nation, as Prussia himself. Beautiful in the sense of his transition to human.

The scene at the church and at the museum standing in front of the Prussian flag was just... just... ;A;

But it was indeed breath-taking how it all slowly entwines and even if he has lose his memories, he gains another.

“…I just miss you. That’s all.”
“I’m right here, Ludwig. ... I’m not going anywhere.”
This seriously broke my heart for the both of them.

Wonderful fill anon, love it.

Re: author's note anonymous July 23 2009, 17:45:11 UTC

You just shattered my heart into a million pieces. ;__;
This is like... a death fic, but even worse somehow. In any case, amazing and slightly terrifying (gradual memory/identity loss is scary as fuck) and so heartbreaking.

brb crying.
