Author's note: this can be set during the Blitz, during some unspecified future disaster, apocalypse scenario, what have you. I made up a lot of stuff about - well, about a character who's practically an OC. Fun, though! Anon, I know you have a thing for Churchill=Arthur, but I chose a bit of a different route. Hope you don't mind.
The Once and Future King Alfred shivered as Arthur moaned yet again, a helpless, bitten-off sound of pain. The younger nation held the elder closer, feeling another wound break open; warm blood dripped beneath his fingers as Arthur writhed in his grasp. “Shhh, shhh, it’s okay, Arthur, I’m here.” He blinked rapidly, helpless to hold back his tears. “You’re not - youre not dead yet, right? Because - because you can’t be. I’m the hero, right? So just - just hold on until my boys get here, okay? I’ll save you, okay?” His grin wobbled dangerously. “It’s what heroes do, right

“My lion.” The redhead smiled, a helpless grin twitching across his face.
Arthur stared at him for a long moment before taking a hesitant step forwards. He stumbled, catching himself as he forced himself to walk forward, the unabashed emotion on his features almost painful as he reached out a hand, trailing the edge of the stranger’s face. He stared hard at the man for a long moment.
“My king.” The nation breathed, and were those tears in his leaf-green eyes

“We shall fight on the seas and oceans.” England said dreamily, keeping step. A hungry, expectant smile crept across his features. “We shall fight in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.” With ever step years and fatigue seemed to fall away and he stood tall and proud. “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender…” He strode forward, eyes bright and clear, wounds forgotten as he followed his liege lord.
