Switch

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Switch - Russia/America, Ukraine, Lithuania, and England.
Russia and America spend a day in each other's bodies thanks to a misaimed spell from England.
Genre: ...Slice of someone else's life? XD It's not exactly a comedy, but bits of it are pretty funny I think.
1970s. PG-13.

For not_elven as part of the russiamerica spring fic exchange. ♥

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!
This is brilliant. I love how America interacts with Ukraine and Lithuania, how none of them are on the same page.
"No, my bad, sorry--" America cleared his throat. His voice came out too soft. "Hey, um, this is kind of awkward, but um--" He coughed again. What the hell was going on with his voice? "Look, have you seen Russia?"

Ukraine stopped. Glanced to the side. Smiled uneasily. "Y…yes?"
and
Her eyebrows drew together; she looked over his shoulder, at the shower and the toilet. She bit her lip. "Did you…ah…find Russia?"

"Yeah," America said, grim. "He was in the mirror."

And Russia was so IC, even as 'America'. I love how the two of them interact. I can't keep quoting stuff or it'll be like half a page...but wow.
And POLAND!
You're amazing, you know that?

Eeeee, I'm so thrilled you liked it! =D You were the important one, here! I was so excited when I got assigned to you, you had such fun prompts!

Poland's one line appearance is like, the fic's easter egg. XD You just know he deals with Russia's ~delicate~ days by being like "THUMBS UP BOSS, WHATEVER YOU SAY!" in the most hilariously grating way possible.

hehe this was really awesome :D

poor Ukraine...i sense she was fighting the urge to tell Russia that he finally lost it lol

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Ukraine was all "BACK AWAY SLOWLY BIG SMILE NO EYE CONTACT HOO BOY"

[disko_fire]

lol yes.

[oldlunchmeat]

Haha oh man, I laughed so hard at Russia admitting to "glancing" at America naked~ and America checking himself out and PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE THING, REALLY. This is such a neat idea for a fic and I'm so glad you explored it! I love your writing ♥ :3

France's day would have been....quite interesting.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Man, France's day would have been so boring, it's not like toadstools get around much. XD

[quasiarti]

thoooooose boys just can't keep they are of each others, and of course America it's more than eager to making out with himself (and it was really a sad moment of Russia seeing his own scars >8).

Also, the little cameos you did for the other characters haha ,og Poland , you little revolutionary mess XDDD

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Opportunities like this don't come along often, is all America is saying!

And yeah, God, if I hadn't stopped myself, that whole fic might've just taken place in Russia's house, with Russia's housemates getting progressively more and more confused.

Somehow you'd think that the switching bodies joke would get old after a while...

... but it doesn't. At least not when it's written by you. :'D I can't remember when I've made as many embarrassing half-laugh-half-snort-half-wtf sounds (yes, that's three halves of something, I never claimed to be good at Maths) as I did while reading this, so... Well done. XD

"…America?"

"Where did you put my clothes?"

"This is Russia."

"This had better fucking be Russia!"

"Is this America?"

"Yes this is America!"

Best and possibly the most identity-confusing dialogue ever. :'D

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I think one of the keys to writing good dialogue is keeping in mind that people are not actually all that good at talking to each other. A teaspoon of confusion and everything takes six times as long and dissolves into complete fail.
