A/N- Fic is AU USxUK, based loosely on the legend of Tam Lin. There are... a lot of changes, both to fill it out storywise and so I could try to keep it IC and true to the characters. Hopefully it still retains the spirit of the original. I might do some notes on the faerie lore I've included in this story, but although some things are of my own invention, much (most, really) is based on fae folklore and legends of the British Isles. Also, hello anons? This is my first time posting on the kink meme, although I am by no means new to Hetalia fic. I'm estimating this story to be about fifteen parts, but I could end up being off on that. I have quite a lot written already.
USxUK: Tam Lin- Part 1/?

A long time ago, so very long, in a land far away where roamed knights atop noble steeds and fair fae within forests green, there lived a young man, a knight of prestigious lineage and chivalrous heart

Softness, something like a pillow beneath his head, was the first thing Alfred noticed when he awoke. The second thing he registered, before he even slid his eyes open, was a throbbing pain in his head, as if someone had struck a hammer to the back of his skull.
He groaned and cracked his eyes open, wondering if he’d been out for long enough that night had fallen.
It was still light, and the sun beaming down through the grove of trees caused his head to ache more.
Alfred smiled. Maybe he could still catch his horse and get to the castle by a reasonable, albeit still late, time. Sure, he was in a lot of pain, but whatever, he’d traveled and fought in way worse condition, being a knight.
His shoulder blade seared in pain as he lifted his arm. He winced but ignored it and continued, touching his hand to his head.
Alfred felt soft cloth, wound tightly around his forehead.
“What the…”
Every joint aching, he pushed himself into a seated position, a moment of dizziness overcoming him as he did so.

“You can thank me later,” the man interrupted him, a scowl on his face. “Right idiotic, you all are… following a pixie-light like that.”
Alfred raised an eyebrow and stifled a laugh. “A pixie what? Listen, I’ve got somewhere to go. Have you seen my horse?“
“You’re not going anywhere,” he said. “Not for a few months, at least. And besides, you’ve been asleep half a day, so I expect you’re already late for your engagement.”
The knight’s mouth dropped. “But I---“ He ran his hands over the grass, realizing now, that it was covered in morning dew. “What are you even going on about, man?”
The green-clad man’s eyebrows furrowed, and he crouched down next to Alfred. “Please listen to me carefully.”
Alfred surveyed him closer now. His arms were lean, but obviously muscular. One was slightly thicker than the other, a clear mark of a longbow wielder. A gentle dusting of freckles on his cheeks led up to his…

“Evil is a simplification, but yes, they are rather malicious most of the time,” he replied. “I am the best longbow man in the world.” He puffed up his chest in pride at that. “…And unfortunately, the fae agree with that. I didn’t want to be a part of their court, and so they keep me here… imprisoned, and only allow me to leave when they need my skills for the hunt

This is amazing! Seriously. I love the writing style and how it reads just like a folk tale. Wonderful and IC. I absolutely can't wait to see more of this. ♥

He’d chosen to stay. He’d thought long and hard about it, the first day after he’d awoken, and in the end decided that well… Arthur obviously wasn’t completely lying. There were magical elements about, and he couldn’t deny that, as much as he wanted to

The fae had tried to tempt him, just as Arthur had warned. The first time it had been a cake, Alfred’s favorite kind, placed directly outside the clearing
