Is this another piece of something bigger? Or something that just comes to you in pieces?

Um...sort of in between? I have a series of Hetalia fanfics about Russia during the Soviet Union kicking around in my head and hard drive.

Russia has an...interesting attitude toward dead bodies. O.o

I'm pretty sure Russia and Hungary don't interact much, other than this. The Hapsburg Empire never really got along with Russia so they mostly glared at each other over Ukraine.

Put that way, it sounds like the world's worst dinner party.

this was beautiful! your writing style is very smooth, I like it. Hungary's and Russia's dialogue was particularly good and I loved how you described Russia, nauseated but desperate for control. good work!

Thank you! I'm glad Russia's inner conflict came through.
