Original Request: This anon was playing around with her electronic dictionary when she was supposed to be studying for her Japanese final and came across some interesting stuff. A lot of the kanji abbreviations for countries' names have alternate meanings.
独―Germany- alone, spontaneously
伊-Italyーthat one
仏-France-Buddha, the dead
普―Prussiaーuniversal
露―Russiaーtears, expose
米-Americaー rice
波―Polandーwaves, billows
羅―Romeーgauze, thin silk
匈―Hungaryーturmoil
希―Greeceーbeg/phenomenal
土-Turkeyーsoil/ground
諾―Norwayーconsent
加―Canadaーjoin/include
Show me how they earned those meanings. Obviously, I don't expect all of them to be included in the fill; actually, I'd prefer it if anon just picked one to focus on. I'd like a humorous or fluffy fill if possible, but whatever inspires you, anon. Just no smut, please.
Pairings not necessary but I'm partial to GerIta, PruCan, USxUK, LeitPol, GermaniaxRome, TurkeyxGreece, and DenxNor. You don't have to include Japan in the fill, either, even though they're his kanji.
Summary: Rome likes the feel of silk.
