Well then. This is the story for the fanfic entry that I sent in for Sweethearts Week on the USUK Livejournal.
"Never Let Go" is kind of an epilogue piece to the doujin (that I am writing). The very end. Still working on it.
I got the idea when I was in English class and we were reading a lot of poetry. I've gathered more poetry since and I've wanted to make the doujin, but I thought it'd be nice to write it all out first. Of course, school, scholarship applications, and summer college courses will probably interfere with this. I hope to get the doujins I have planned done by the time I'm...
22?
Anyway... Here we go!
Pairings: USUK/UKUS (eventually)

This is the story of the Kingdom of War.
It is not to say that they were never peaceful people, no, but their symbol, the Spade, originated from the Sword.
It is often difficult to find the King of a nation. Whereas the Queen would have the Mark appear on the right shoulder blade and upper arm, and the Jack's Mark would appear on the collarbone, both at birth, the King would not have the Mark appear until the fifteenth anniversary of his birth, when it would appear on his back. In some regions of the four different nations, a person would be considered indecent to expose their body, resulting in delays to appointing a King.
After a certain King and a certain Queen, a man and woman, naturally gave birth to a son, the King saw that his son had, on his upper arm, the Mark of the Queen. Thinking that this was a mistake, he carefully turned the child onto his anterior side, his stomach against the King's arm, as he was such a tiny child. There was the rest of the Mark.
Then the Kingdom rejoiced. Such a rarity it was to have a male Queen, one born from royalty, all of them in their written history being good and great. They called the baby boy "Arthur" and praised him proudly.
Then a sadness occurred.
On the fifth birthday of the little Queen-Initiate, his parents, wonderful King and Queen, were killed in battle. A war with another nation had caused their deaths, along with those of another pair of Royals, their son, King-Initiate, left alone as well.
Poor little royals, left all alone in the world.
Sixteen years passed as the Queen-Initiate became Queen and his Jack-initiate named Jack soon after the Queen's eighth birthday. They only needed to find their King, their perfect partner to balance the strange triumvirate.
They did not have to wait long.
