Wow, a second fill that's totally different from what I expected (all three are so different from each other!); this is intriguing and just a bit chilling. I'm looking forward to where you're going with this, Anon! ♥

O_o Holy... Author!anon of the previous fill thinks that you have this prompt DOWN. This is...powerful and terrifying and...and...it's the perfect concentration of the sentiment that a portion of the American population feels and this idea that "shoot them before they shoot you" which I think makes the whole thing between America and England that much more powerful! And the ending of this part, where America aims at England, it's like he's comparing what England did to what terrorists do now. And America...losing his humanity. You have to wonder what citizens actions and sentiments can do to a personification, whether they start acting this way by choice, or if it's almost inevitable. I'm sorry, I'm just completely awed and amazed. This is fantastic anon. I can't wait to read more.
WOW! I really didn't expect this to take this direction, and boy, am I glad I didn't because this was such an amazing surprise! England's thoughts are chilling, particularly the part where he's in fear but also awe. The description of America makes me shudder, and it's such an excellent allegory of the tense political affairs in this past ten years... But I was also surprised by this
Russia was wearing a look of mild discomfort at the blond's tirade. There was something about the American's words that put him on edge. It reminded him of days he'd rather forget; the machinations that had fueled uprisings and revolutions and years of suppression. The familiar ache of unrest returned to his bones... the memories of burned manuscripts and hidden writings and great men whose talent was suppressed by force and the iron fist of the government. OMG so intriguing! I'm always interested in Russia-America interaction and thoughts on each other. Fascinating, and it was also beautifully written, this particular part
