AN: What's a Plot Bunny Bounce?
OK, I don't really write stories but this is a thing I've decided to try. It's called a plot bunny bounce. Basically I will start it with a both a prompt which lays out the out the rough out line of the plot bounce, (though if you have a really good idea that deviates from the out line, as long as it is consistent with the pairing/etc. and doesn't drastically change the setting or even better can work back into being in line with the out line eventually then that is alright also.) I will also add a few lines or paragraph or so. Next then it is up to others to contribute to the story if they would like it to continue. You can either pm the next part to me or send in by way of fan mail to my tumblr. Link Here. If wish I can give you credit when I post the next part by way of saying who wrote it and a link to your page. This is kind of like an fic version of an AMV MEP. It can be short or long. It can also be whatever style you wish. For now, I will post the contribution I receive first.
STARTING PROMPT: GermAme - Revolutions - A young Ludwig, who has not yet earned his status as a nation, is hired by Arthur to capture Revolutionary Alfred. Ludwig manages to capture Alfred and proceeds to transport his prisoner to British head quarters. Once they arrive at the British lines, Ludwig realizes that he loves Alfred and frees Alfred. Then two have to survive the wilderness and escape the British to reach Alfred's forces. Also maybe Alfred is sick or wounded during the time to enemy lines and caring for him helps bond Ludwig to him. During this time Ludwig realizes he has more in common with Alfred than he does with his employer Arthur. Additionally Ludwig finds out that his brother has been helping train Alfred's forces and has thrown his lot in with the revolutionaries. Maybe when they reach Alfred's forces, Alfred is able to return the favor and save Ludwig from his own people.
Bonus Headcanon: Germany has a tendency to stalk other countries. Particularly countries he is interested in like America and Northern Italy. However when confronted about it he will either deny it, say that he is either scouting, or on reconnaissance. This habit is one he shares with Britain, Russia (who prefers infiltration), and France. This habit of Germany's, frustrated Britain a lot during the American Revolution because he hired Ludwig to fight Alfred, not stare at him all day from the under the brush. Also Ludwig is much better at 'reconnaissance' than infiltration as is seen with all the near disasters he had trying to infiltrate Alfred's army bases.
However he is pretty good at creeping around silently and hiding in the bushes. In fact he's probably hiding in plain sight right now and has seen what you did there.
Starting Chapter: Written By Me, Irascendlolkitten
Ludwig is creeping through the snowy American woods, brrrr, in search of the American camp as Arthur had directed him. The Britain was insisting that he capture Alfred and bring him back so that Arthur could 'talk some sense' into him. As to why Arthur couldn't do this himself, after a sip of his tea; Arthur says that he is far too busy and since Ludwig is wanting to become a nation himself this is a perfect opportunity for Ludwig to prove himself.
Ludwig pauses his inner musings when he hears the sounds of someone nearby. Though this persons steps are much louder and less stealthy than his own. Ludwig creeps silently towards the sound, moves carefully a snowy branch aside…and he sees a person whom he has never laid eyes on before but who captivates him. (In his mind when he sees Alfred for the first time it plays out like something between the opening song from the sound of music LINK or sleeping beauty singing to the local wildlife LINK.)
In actuality it's more like a rumpled revolutionary Alfred grumbling and playing with a stick with his foot. Alfred is being moody because, while he appreciates Prussia's help training his men and himself…he's driving them really hard and can be quite a arrogant jerk sometimes.
Suddenly he hears a branch snap and turns…..
