Author's Note: As this will be a collection of oneshots that relate to music, I thought that this title is quite suitable, and I have chose the harp because onsite says that the harp is used the most in the Viking era and I personally like the image of a harp the best.
Song 1: My heart is yours- Norway accepts and come to term with his missing sister as he composes a song for her.

My heart is yours
Norway was the winner of Eurovision 2009 and it was a very glorious victory. After all, the winner has received the highest point in Eurovision history. As the winning nation, his country would automatically be in the final and his boss actually asked him to write a song for the finals.
"It can be anything you want."
Then he would write a song for his sister, wherever she was, to hear. The song would let her know that he would always love her.
You are like the sunset behind a mountain somewhere
And when I cannot see you, I know you're still there
As Norway worked in his house, he could see a little girl running around, before she changed to a young woman. These memories no longer haunt him, as he had come to term with his sister's death. Instead, he could smile and even be comforted by these memories.
Even if she was gone, the fact that she was once here would never disappear. He knew that she was watching over him as he once intended do so for her.
Perhaps she would even shake her head in despair at what he has done.
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours
It was no longer an obsessive love where he must keep her by his side due to being afraid at what would happen if she ever strayed from his hold. Now he realised that it didn't matter if she was not beside him, because they would still always love one another.
She would always be his precious little sister, and he would always be her big brother.
You say I am the moonlight, I watch you at night
And when you cannot see me, I'm still there in the sky
Yet it was a lesson that he learnt too late, as she was no longer here. The sad truth was that he had played a part in driving her away.
However, he would never forget her or stop loving her. His love for his sister was simply a part of him, just as his sister would always be a part of him.
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours
If he could go back to the past, then he would behave in a very different way. He would give her the ability to make her own choice, even if that meant her going back to Vinland. He would no longer be daunted by it, because he now realise that the geographical distance did not matter at all.
He was regretful, but he would not wallow in regret. That would make her unhappy.
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours
What Norway did not know was that his sister was just like him. Even though she was now very far apart from him due to being Canada instead of Vinland, she has never stopped loving him.
"Congratulations, Norway." Canada had said as Norway watched his country receiving the very first price in the greatest victory that has ever happened in Eurovision.
He did not know why, but that made him feel rather happy. Canada's congratulations seemed very special.
Author's Note: Background information to this extract. The song 'My heart is yours' is Norway's song for Eurovision 2010. Norway was the host for Eurovision 2010 as they won in 2009 with Alexander Rybak, the winning song being his 'Fairytale'. He received a total of 387 points- the highest total score in Eurovision history. Second place went to Iceland.
Obviously, this song is very optimistic and I have seen it being used in a lot of fan fictions. Therefore, I decided that the story would have an optimistic setting, yet I still want this to be before Canada reveals her real identity. As a result, this story is about Norway coming to term with his sister's death/disappearance
The reason for writing this story is mainly due to the fact that I was in a really good mood upon passing my restricted license test, and so I wanted to write something happy. And also because I feel that my story is really grim. Also, after I had a really good look at this song, I feel that it is really suitable for Canada and Norway, although I have yet to use any of the extract in my story. Therefore, I decided to try and write this.
I know that I will be writing more song inspired stories and so I decided to group them into a single story- so it would be a collection of oneshots- instead of having them all over the place in fan .
