On HRE's Continued Spiritual Existence in Hetalia

Instead of becoming Germany after his physical death, as most would assume, HRE became the representative of the Vatican. This is because he wasn't the representative of an imperial collective of states, in the typical sense, to begin with. Rather, he was the personification of what drew them together - the protection of the Roman Catholic faith. The Vatican serves much the same function now, and the Vatican states are considered by many to be the religious heart of Italy (let alone the heart of Catholic world) so it makes sense HRE would perform a similar role in his present life as he did in his first one; a role that would allow him to be close to Italy.

Day 10: The Midnight Circus

"For centuries, almost millennia, it has traveled the backroads and byways of the World of Darkness. And as it wandered, the stain on its festival soul thickened. Now it answers to the name of Anastagio's Olde Time Lunar Carnival and Midnight Circus. Its taste for souls has grown ever keener, and it's still hungry. The calliope beckons like a lorelei... will you enter? Within the tents and sideshows of the Midnight Circus lurk horrors and visions that stretch and defy imagination. But the Circus is not managed by mortals, oh no. Fae glamours mix with eldritch magicks; the Kindred quietly stroll along the midway while the Restless Dead flit through the carnival air. Garou or mage, undead or living, there's something to suit everybody's tastes in the Midnight Circus. And the ticket's a bargain at twice the price! Just watch where you step and what you look at, because not all the attractions are free..."

Crows curse, chapter one official

A/N: Its edited.

In the city of Bianchi, the sun hung low in the sky and the people continued to party as the night drew nearer, casting a golden glow on everyone and everything, making it seem so ethereal, like he wasn’t on the mortal realm, like he had joined his ancestors in the afterlife and celebrated everything that he was, everything that he did with abandon.

Music could be heard from every street, from every home, from the lake that bordered one side of the city to the hills that bordered the other. It was magical, the way each band played, and each singer sung, each a different song but no less beautiful than the next. It was the individuality, the creativity, the pride that they all carried in their music that really made the mood what it was. It echoed all across the city, and it was the dancers, twirling in time that made it truly come alive. Everyone was throwing their whole soul into celebrating, and he couldn’t blame them. It had been far too long since the citizens had let loose like this, and it was much needed.

This was a day of celebration, hope lighting each and every citizen with the promotion of Captain Anastagio Rossi. Most, if not all, knew of his reputation from the battles a group of revolutionists insisted on waging. His team had led several successful missions, storming their holds and flushing them out of their country or executing them under The Queens orders.

Anastagio, or Captain Rossi, as everyone had immediately taken to calling him, sat, watching dancers, eating exotic foods and drinking equally exotic wines next to The Prince, Concetto Bianchi, pleased at his promotion. Captain Rossi lifted his cup and watched the civilians twirl around, carefree and happy, in time with the upbeat music. With the threat of Crow looming on them the last month, it was easy to understand why they would want to de-stress and forget for a little while.

After the death of beloved King Alonzo, the city fell into what seemed to be a perpetual fog of grief, and it had been far too quiet for their city.

It had gotten worse after the news of who exactly had done it was released to the masses. Royal Mage and The Majesties personal doctor, their name now banned in fear of their familiars overhearing, Crow. It had come as a shock to everyone.

However, no one has actually been able to capture them yet, and so far, they haven’t made a move since that fateful day one month ago.

It now fell on Captain Rossi’s shoulders, as the Royal Captain, to look for and bring in Crow. It was a burden, one he wished he didn’t have, but it wasn’t his choice to make. Or, if he did choose not to look for them, he would be put on trial for disobeying the direct orders from The Queen.

He feared for Crow. No one actually truly knew what happened that night except for two people. Crow, and the servant who supposedly saw them murdering the king. Captain Rossi had doubts as to what actually happened that night.

This was supposed to be a day, and night, of celebration. Why he was thinking of such things, he didn’t know. Just enjoy the night, he scolded himself, this is for you. He sighed and closed his eyes. He wont be able to enjoy the party. He hasn’t been able to enjoy much of anything lately, the stress weighed down on his shoulders too harshly.

A different kind of weight fell onto his shoulders, pulling him out of his thoughts.

“What’s on your mind, Anastagio?” Prince Concetto cooed, fluttering his eyelashes at the Captain. “Is the party not to your satisfaction? I could think of a few ways to satisfy you if its not.”

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, “Large crowds just aren’t my forte, your Highness. And with the threat of Crow, I would have thought that they would stay in doors, avoiding getting killed. With everyone out, especially like this...”

The Captain felt, more than heard, The Prince laugh. “Is that what your calling it now? Well, think of it this way, if Crow does decide to descend on some poor unsuspecting victim, we’ll know fairly quickly, someone is bound to see the body and talk will spread like a wildfire during a drought.”

He grimaced at the comparison, early childhood memories coming to mind.

“I’m not entirely convinced that partying all day and all night on my behalf, considering that Crow hasn’t been caught yet.” Captain Rossi said with a frown, “Its not very safe for them to be out like this. In all honesty, I would prefer that no one died tonight in the first place. And the best way to prevent that right now is to stay off the streets and avoid large scale activity, like this, so that someones murder wont be hidden by the celebration.”

Prince Concetto laughed loudly as he righted himself, gesturing for more wine. He thanked the servant and dismissed them for the rest of the night.

“I think I have an idea of what you would rather have, but unfortunately the day is coming to a close and I have to leave the city in the morning to visit the northern sector. Enjoy the party, Captain Rossi.” Prince Concetto winked as he left the table.

Captain Rossi could see a gaggle of girls eyeing him with the intensity of a predator stalking its prey. As much as he wanted to return to his home, it was becoming very clear that he wont be leaving the celebration without a dance or several. He shuddered at the mere thought of getting back onto the dance floor. Not again, he promised himself. Not after last time.

Taking a sip of his own drink, he stood and mentally prepared himself for the onslaught of torture- dancing, he definitely meant dancing. He passed the one group that was making him feel like a young rabbit out in the fields staring down a dog, and nearly flinched when they started giggling. Walking faster, he avoided making eye contact with anyone and began his search for a secluded area to watch the sunset. It was far too crowded, he thought as he clutched his wine closer to him. He was glad he brought his drink with him, if he can think fast he could say that he has business to attend to, people to speak with, if he can’t… it’ll be just like last time all over again.

He took the back alleyways, heading towards the upper section of the city, closer to the castle, and less populated than the mid section. Buildings slowly began moving further apart from each other, letting the air flow easier. This allowed small gardens take up space, creating small areas to escape to.

He picked up his pace, weaving past people. If he didn’t hurry, he wouldn’t make it to the specific balcony in time for the sunset. It was, in his opinion, the best place in the city, and one of the lesser known spots of paradise.

Taking a right, he came to a little hidden treasure he found the first year he came to this city. It seemed as if he had made it on time, the sun hadn’t gone down yet, but soon it would. The balcony was set in the upper Middle district, the entrance hidden by the ivy hanging down. It was probably why most missed it, it blended in with the rest of the wall.

It looked to be one of the many gardens tended by the gardeners staffed by the queen. It was positioned to overlook the lake. He came here when he needed time to himself, to escape his duties when he wasn’t needed. Unfortunately, since the kings murder, his time had shrunk until he barely had enough time to sleep. Despite his earlier thoughts, he was coming to appreciate the time off the party granted.

He pulled his cape off and laying it on the ground like a picnic blanket, eager to settle down and watch the sunset over the lake. This was his favorite time of the day, when everybody was heading home for the day and the city was finally settling down, usually. It was the transition from the bustle of the day to the quiet of the night, when so few are still out, and nature begins its lullaby. It reminded him of home.

The sky exploded into a kaleidoscope of colors as the fireworks began. It was clear that mages from all standings, the old and the young, the accomplished and the ones just starting to learn, were having a little bit of fun showing off, each firework as unique as the one who casted the spell. Behind the bright explosions, the moon started to rise. It was full, and Captain Rossi took a moment to thank the heavens that lycanthropy wasn’t an issue in Bianchi.

A noise at the entrance of the balcony made him rethink his thought, and prayed to the heavens that lycanthropy was not a problem in Bianchi. How embarrassing would it be if he contracted it on the night of his promotion?

Setting his cup down, he stood and gripped his sword. A figure stood behind the curtain of ivy, before coming through into the garden.

A woman. It was just a woman, in a simple, yet elegant, blue dress. There was something familiar about her, she almost reminded him of his mother. There was an air of familiarity about her, he began to relax, before catching himself. Taking his hand off his sword, he could see the moment when she saw him. Her entire body language shifted, and she walked towards him.

“Gio.” Soft. Raspy. Barely above a whisper and it sounded as if someone had done something horrendous to her, a curse perhaps. He had heard of such curses, and had once been on the receiving end of it for a week. It had been difficult to talk with restrained vocal cords, but it had been possible, but not without pain.

“Don’t I look pretty, Gio?” She stalked forward, coming closer to him with an odd look in her eye, as if she was amused about something, but in pain. An immense amount of pain.

And then he saw her eyes. Gold, encircled by a small band of red. And in that moment, he knew that wasn’t an ordinary woman.

Crow had taken several steps back as Anastagio glared at them, his sword under their chin quicker than they had blinked. Their hands were raised in a non-threatening manner, and by their stance alone, it was clear that they weren’t there for a fight, but none of that mattered. Not right now. Not after what they had done.

“Gio, please, I need help.” they hissed out, dropping their glamour.

“HERE? THIS IS WHERE YOU BRING ME?!” COSETTE WAILED, making more of a spectacle than the actual tragedy striking valtolia right now. manticores were attacking the jousting event that had brought many of the kingdoms together for the first time in years. the rosier’s presence was a given considering their place in valtolian court but coco never would have imagined being roughed up and running for their lives while in attendance. as if that wasn’t enough of a surprise, being dragged by their collar by some random knight and thrown to a nearby stable was unheard of. the gown was in shambles, completely a wreck from him falling down with copious strips of flesh being exposed in ways cosette was only accustom to behind closed doors but appropriateness seemed to be out the window with everyone flailing around for their lives.

“are you sure we’re even safe here? this place smells disgusting. can’t they sniff us out?!”

Instead of fighting for cash Eddie should have taken a page out of Dante Anastagio’s book wherein you convince your hot fellow firefighter best friend who you’re secretly in love with and who secretly loves you back but you’re both clueless dumbasses to do porn with you

Anastagio Horowitz and Gennadiya Nikolaev (@raybotonline)

Anastagio & Gennadiya met in high school, and fell in love over the course of several months. Gen was well-liked at school and Ana was not, and Ana for a while was convinced that she was completely out of his league, but their feelings were both mutual and genuine. Gen helped Ana through the early stages of his transition, even buying him his first binder. Unfortunately, when they both graduated, their future plans got in the way of staying in touch and they amicably went their separate ways... until several years later, when they happened to meet again by chance. The feelings are still mutually there, and (eventually) (after the events of the story they're in) they *do* get back together <3

they're extremely adorable together, gen is so supportive of her boyfriend, ana is so completely whipped its kind of funny but also cute, gen is 6'00" and ana is 5'2" so ana is at Gen's Boobs Height, and they are so important to me forever. a vote for genastagio is a vote for bisexual rights

Eddie Palmer and Theo Havlicek (@yanoharuhito)

Eddie Palmer is a hitman working for an organized crime group, and when he is ordered to eliminate Theo Havlicek, a skilled freelance programmer working part-time for a rival group. Eddie's primary tactic is to get close to a target via seduction/flattery, and he's usually very good at keeping his cool on the job. This time he accidentally falls for Theo for real, and fails to do what he had sought out to do in the first place. Instead, Eddie arranges a couple more dates with Theo. He rationalizes this to himself by saying that he's just waiting for the right time. It's only after the third date, his deadline, that Eddie finally pulls the trigger.

Theo is equally as interested in Eddie, although to a healthier extent. Eddie's affection can also be considered infatuation, because he's never been interested in people at all before. Now he's faced with the first person he feels capable of loving, and he has to kill them.

Eddie is initially unwilling to go on with the job, but after a couple days and a word from his mentor, he's convinced that he can't *actually* love Theo, that he'll always ruin the things he loves.

TL;DR, An assassin falls in love with his target, and it ends badly.

speaking from experience they will completely rot your brain because of how tragic they are ..... copious AU potential with these two. imagine the domestic aus... roleswap au... nobody dies au ... the possibilities are endless
