The day that begins the end of the world dawns bright and coldly crisp. That’s what always strikes the people who remember this day as a tragedy, how unusually cold and crisp it was. And how normal.
Mathew Williams is doing what he always does on the 3rd of June. He’s walking to a nearby florist to buy flowers. It’s an anniversary, this day, for on this day twenty two years ago, Mathew’s parents were killed in a car accident. He was three at the time, so he doesn’t miss them, and though he’d felt guilty about that fact for years, he tries not to let it bother him much anymore. If it weren’t for their death, and his biological relatives’ reluctance to take him in, then he never would have been adopted (read, ‘found and taken care of’) by Arthur Kirkland and his … Francis Bonnefoy and their amazing, ramshackle, walking disaster of a mostly-found family. He feels bad about feeling good about that - what kind of person is he, to be glad that his biological family is dead? - but, like the guilt, he tries not to let that

Oh Mattie, what will Alfred and the world do without you...
I love you're beginning A!A. Very strong. Very raw and so filled with meaning. It makes the transcript mean so much more.
Originally I thought Al perhaps got rid of Matt because he wasn't a good enough hero, but now I see that he's the entire reason that Al wants Heroes to meet up to his heroing expectations. Le sigh. I love this fic so far. It's beautiful.
Also, I admittedly didn`t the see CanUkraine. I just read "red tulip" and my head was like LARS/NETHERLANDS. But Ukraine or Neth brings up a sweet image. It's too bad Mattie only saw that person before he was hit by a car. What a bummer...

Haha, this is proof that author!anon fails at life - Canada's pairing is him/Ukraine but I just threw in a mention of Netherlands this chapter. Next chapter is the Canada/Ukraine. This was just a warning in case the OP is all IMMA HATE CANADAUKRAINE and then I can frantically backtrack.

Wonder Woman looks up when she hears footsteps, genuine smile springing to her lips.
“You’re late,” she calls, gently teasing without looking up.
There’s no response, and she frowns as the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She rises, turning as she does, and a mixture of panic and fear curling through her gut as she realises that the approaching figure is not wearing a sloppy red hoodie and jeans as she’d expected but a battered brown jacket and equally battered jeans. She’s … well, she’s on his side, but until not-very-long ago, she’d been fighting against him, and while she may not be bad, as far as battle prowess goes, she’d be destroyed in seconds if she went against Mr. Hero

Wah, I'm so lame for missing that update with an important question to me *facepalms* But no worries - I admittedly have never read anything with Canada/Ukraine, but it does sound pretty interesting :D
And oh God, anon, this whole thing is so tragically, creepily beautiful, it sends shivers down my spine. And I already love it so damn much!
lol at the iron boobs attack, btw xD But why did you strike it? xD

“It’s Mathew.” InvisAbility calls, pitching his voice over the sound of approaching sirens.
Wonder Woman smiles, lips tingling as blood rushes through them. She turns to go.
“Hey - wait!” He calls, and she hears him jump after her. “You’re not going to give me your name?” She has to force down another smile, and turns to face him with a questioning eyebrow. “Know any nice places around here?” He asks, the first male to focus on her face and not her breasts, and she finds herself unable to stop a true, wide smile.

“Matt Matt Matt you will never believe what they’re calling you.”
“InvisAbility! What in that-?! What genius came up with that

“Don’t be sorry! Toris has such a cute girlfriend, yes, he should be proposing to her soon.”
“Yes sir.” He responds, and then horror thrills through him as he realises what he’s said.
“Excellent! I will tell everyone that we will soon be covering a wedding, and you can go and tell little Feliks.” His boss grins happily down at him, plucks the coffee from frozen fingers and wanders off, presumably to share the good news.
Toris’ mouth works silently as he stares at where the cup had been. But - but!
He sighs, and runs a hand through his hair. At least Feliks will get to pick out a wedding dress, something which has been his dream ever since they were children.
I love Poland~. And screw you character limit! :shakes fist:
Because his power is to become invisible and intangable - invisible ability = invisibility and ability = InvisAbility, yeah? :fails at life: I'm so glad you like this, I love writing Soviet interactions.

lol, got to think that the voice would kind of give away the fact that Feliks is male though.
Anyway, Toris/Feliks is so cute. *Squeals* It kinds of made up for all the sadness that's been abound and is possibly only going to get even worse. Watching Alfred's descend is going to be like watching a train wreck :[
I really enjoy this story. The time switching thing gets confusing for me because I'm an idiot like that and never notice the dates but it really is an interesting concept.

America is so, so creepy O.O I like it! :D
The format gives such a thrilling feeling. I'll be careful to keep track of the dates. I really love stories that jump back and forth in time.
Can't wait to see the next chapter!

No wonder America is so messed up now ;-;

And Russia is as awesome as ever in his weirdly sweet creepyness.
InvisAbility really is a genius name! How the hell'd you come up with that?
