The Great Hetalia Song Shuffle
Collection #1
Rating: T (maybe it's high for this, but you never know, I guess!)
Rules (just in case there are those out there that need them!):
1) Put your music player (iPod, Windows Media, iTunes, etc.) on shuffle
2) For each song, write a drabble (you can use the entire fandom, your favorite character(s), or you favorite pairing).
3) Do this for at least 5 songs (although many people do around 10 songs).
4) It does not have to be perfect, just fun (and it makes excellent writing practice, especially for those with writer's block!)
A/N: Characters do not belong to me. Just saying! Don't sue me. You will not get much out of me right now.
1) Suffocating Sight- Trivium (Germany)
He was the soldier that he was because of them. They made him, so surely they had the right to do what they wished.
The theory was excellent, but it was just that…a theory.
Now, here he was, on the eastern war front, fighting a hopeless battle on unfamiliar soil. Here he was, with his fellow countrymen, freezing, hungry, wondering if today would be his last.
They made him, free to do as they wished with him, and hundreds of others exactly like him…
2) Epiphany- Staind (US/UK)
Arthur watched as the rain fell in sheets outside his window. Rainy days always made the British nation depressed. Rainy days always made him think of that day, the day he lost a major part of himself.
He couldn't kill him.
He couldn't kill the younger nation standing before him. Arthur hated what he did to him. Arthur also hated himself.
If only Arthur had paid more attention to him…maybe he would still be with him…
3) Hold Back the Day- Devil Driver (Prussia)
He wasn't going to give up without a fight. The more blood involved, the better. He did have a little of his grandfather in him after all.
He wasn't going to go just yet. No, not quite.
It was always darkest before the dawn as the old saying went…
4) Anatomy of a Tidal Wave- Cold (FrUK)
It was a whirlwind relationship since the beginning. No matter what the frog did, Arthur always took him back. It was the same every time. They would fight. Arthur would drink his troubles away. Francis would sleep around to forget his troubles. Every time, they would get back together, only to do it over again. Francis always brought Arthur's world down, yet the British nation did not know why he always returned.
Tomorrow was another new beginning…
5) Broken- 12 Stones (Italy/ Germany)
Germany just sat there. Next to him was Italy, crying. His brother had done it again. He had made the northern half of the nation cry again. What had happened, the German nation did not know. Germany placed his arm around the smaller nation. Italy wiped his eyes and runny nose with his jacket sleeve. Italy leaned in and rested his head on Germany. Germany rested his chin atop the Italian's head.
Somehow, the German nation knew how to make his friend feel better, without even saying a single word.
6) Dying in Your Arms- Trivium (Finland)
Finland walked toward his house. It was the first time he had seen his home since Russia's hostile takeover. It was not a peaceful departure, but Finland had to do what had to be done. He had to cut the string that linked him to Russia. Russia had to be out of his life before he could become independent.
By cutting all ties with Russia, Finland was now free…
7) The Earth Will Shake- Thrice (US)
It was a long and difficult process, but very well worth it in the end. He had managed to unite himself again after several years of brother fighting against brother. He thought he would die separated, but it was because of his northern boss that he was united once more. It came to show that the end was not near, at least not yet.
8) Reliance- Flaw (Austria/ Hungary)
She lost everything that made her unique when she married him. Now, she was dependent on him. She hated it. She yearned for the days where she depended on nobody but her own self.
After many years of marriage, they divorced. After so many years of depending on him, she had forgotten how to depend on herself…
9) Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Green Day (Prussia)
He had so many things that he wanted to do. So many dreams, wishes. All were shattered when he was no longer himself, no longer a country. He was broken, alone…
10) Stand My Ground- Within Temptation (Prussia)
I was his territory, his land, his home. There was no way that he was going to give it up without a fight. He was going to fight for it until he was no longer able to, then his descendants were going to fight until their end. It was his ground. Nobody was going to take it without fight him.
Bonus! When I'm Gone- 3 Doors Down (Russia/China)
He was no longer feared by the world. Since his separation, he fell into a state of depression, not talking to the others. He sat alone, drinking and thinking of his once mighty empire. What went wrong, he mused, looking down at his half- empty bottle of vodka on the table.
"Ivan?"
The tall, burly Russian looked to find China standing in front of him. Russia refused to speak. He would eventually forget him, just like everyone else.
China pulled out a chair and took Russia's free hand.
"You will make it through. I know you will."
