Re: Nobody Fulfils a Fantasy Like Prussia 13e/?
(Anonymous) 2012-05-08 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)“No, I guess not,” Prussia said. “I don't really even care if he apologizes or not. I just want to understand how his mind works. I want to know what he really thinks about me. Sometimes we get along so well, and then all of a sudden he completely blows up. How the hell did you deal with that all those years?”
“You have to know how to give him enough space,” Spain said, turning to smile at the waiter who brought them their orders. “He'll come around after his anger is all burned out.”
“I'm not exactly the kind of guy who goes around giving others space. You know that. What about what I want? Why do I have to wait until he's done throwing his fit? Why can't we deal with it my way?”
“I don't think Romano would appreciate the broken furniture and cracked ribs.”
Prussia stabbed his sausage with his fork. “At least my way would clear the atmosphere. I'm sick of him getting angry at me and not telling me why. Why doesn't he just fucking tell me what's bugging him?”
Spain looked at him for a moment before reaching for his juice. “Say, what it is that you want from Romano?”
“Huh, what do you mean?”
“You two were never very close, but now you both suddenly want to talk about each other today. What's up?”
“That's just it! I don't know! I guess I would kind of like to ask him out or something, but I'm tired of him first being nice to me and then treating me like shit. I honestly can't say if he's interested or if he hasn't got any taste.”
“I don't think he'd be so upset if he wasn't interested. That's probably why he gets so angry in the first place. He doesn't know how to deal with it, and it frustrates him. You should have seen him when he developed his first crush. There was this girl in the village near my house, and for two weeks Romano would just glare at her when she came to get water from the well,” Spain smiled at his plate as he paused to think. “Then one day he finally got the courage to go and talk to her, and he was really sweet and offered to carry her water for her, but then he fell over – he was really clumsy back then, see – and not only did he pour the water all over the road but he broke the vase, too. He was so embarrassed that he ran away crying and just left her there.”
“Wow... And how come you know so much?”
“I was following them and saw the whole thing.”
“What?”
“He was my little boy. I wanted to cheer him on.”
“Sounds like you did a shitty job.”
“Maybe, but that's not the point I was trying to make with that story.”
“Then what's the point? I'm starting to think Romano learned this stupid behaviour from you since you can't seem to just say what you think either.”
“What I'm trying to say is that when you put Romano into a situation in which he feels vulnerable, he lashes out. I know how to deal with him when he's like that, and so does Italy. The problem is that you're one of the least patient and most selfish people I've ever met, so you and Romano are –”
“What, hopeless?” Prussia asked. No way. He was the perfect match with anyone!
“Going to have to work a little. You have to find some middle ground because even if Romano's way of dealing with his problems isn't very good, neither is yours,” Spain finished.
“What problems? I don't have any problems!”
“Well, if you say that.”
Spain turned his attention back to his food, and Prussia couldn't tell if he was just being air-headed like usual or if silence was his way of underlining his point. Either way, this conversation hadn't gone like he had wanted. He had been hoping that Spain would give him some key to cracking the code that was Romano, but it looked like he would have to do it himself after all.

“What is it?”
“I'm going to skip the meeting with Romano. Give West some really good excuse for us so that he doesn't pop a vein.”
“Sure, I'll do that. But you're going to have to promise something to me, too.”
“Yeah, what?”
“Romano is still my little boy. If you pull any of your usual stunts with him, Germany is going to have to learn to represent the country alone again, okay?”
“Uh, sure.”
“Great!” Spain gave him the thumbs up and a smile. “Then good luck!”

(Anonymous) 2012-05-08 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)I - I don't even know where to begin. I just - I just can't. A!Anon, I just cannot. Anymore. No more canning.
This is hands down the best Romano I have ever read and - I'm bookmarking this fill forever so that I can come back to it to reacquaint myself time and again with this Romano. (I have a lot of trouble writing Romano personally) I am also bookmarking it for a number of other reasons, such as it being also hands down the best Prussia I've ever read. And this is the best PruAus interaction, and the best Prumano interaction, and the best GerPru interaction and Spain and France and Belgium and Netherlands and oh - oh gosh, these characters. Your characters are so splendidly fleshed out and brilliantly technicolour IMAX 3D that I just askjdhaskdjhasd. I just can't. (See? No more canning.)
And there's little moments of poignancy sprinkled out here and there that - oh gosh, the entire readthrough I had this awful pain in the middle of my chest and it dawned on me at the end that you only made my heart bleed, totes nbd or anything. Author!anon you're playing this up so brilliantly that when these two lonely souls finally come together it's probably going to make me cry.
tl;dr: this fill. It's amazing. I'm stalking it forever.
(ps best of luck with your thesis <3)

First of all, I love how this part has people pointing out that Prussia himself isn't the easiest. Part of the reason why any interaction with Romano is so frustrating is because we're seeing it from Prussia's POV (your Prussia POV is incredible, btw, funny like he's supposed to be, and at the same time with its serious moments, and yet never OOC. How do you this? How? He's so hard to write for me). Prussia really is bad at reading other people, and therefore you never really know what's going on in Romano's brain unless you stop and try to examine the thing from the outside, at which point you want to slap your forehead and go "Prussia, you idiot!". Then again, Romano sucks at simply saying what's on his brain, and....ahaaaah, frustration.
I also love the easy-going way in which everybody interacts with everybody else - you really give the feeling of a network of friends, in which everybody knows each other and while they argue, they're also willing to help each other.
And I love how you're making this significant. The characters aren't just getting together, they're actually getting to know each other and growing up. Prussia/Romano is always a bit complicated to write as an happy couple, because if they want to get in a happy relationship, they will have to get rid of some of their personal issues first (Romano's failures at communication, Prussia's huge ego) so the fact that you're addressing this makes the story much more complex, like a journey inside the characters' reasoning and motivations.
I really liked, for example, the part in which Prussia sees sleeping Italy and doesn't even notice he's naked, but instead his mind goes straight to Romano and the fact that he sleeps the same way - a subtle way to show that, no matter what he says, he's hooked.
So! This is awesome, you should feel awesome. OP out!
