There's past fem!EnglandxFrance in this one.


Audrey had recently broken up with her boyfriend. She had ended it. Francis had been wonderful. He had been kind, caring, a gentlemen. He had treated her well, and she had enjoyed their time together. The problem was; that wasn't all he was. He was a flirt, a really excellent one. He could always find someone to talk to and flirt with. Also, if it was possible, he was too affectionate. Audrey loved him, but she couldn't confidently commit to him. When she had realized that, she had broken off their relationship. She explained everything and even admitted that she felt it would have been better for them if they hadn't decided to make their relationship a serious one.

That had been a month ago, but she was still upset. Francis had definitively not been the right fit, but she didn't want to be alone. She could survive without a significant other, but she wanted one nonetheless. She just didn't know anyone she was interested in. That was why she was sitting alone in a coffee shop, sipping a cup of tea, organizing her thoughts. She decided that she needed to meet someone new and as soon as possible.

As she made that decision a man entered the coffee shop. He was tall, handsome, and had very light blond hair. He caught her eye when he went up to the counter. She had never seen him before. She watched him pay, take his cup from the barista, and sit down a few tables over. He was sitting alone, staring into his cup like it held the secrets to the universe. She looked down into her own cup. There was enough tea left for a conversation. She took a deep breath in and stood, thinking now was the time to start meeting people.

She grabbed her cup and walked over to the chair sitting across from him. "Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" she asked.

He looked up at her. For a moment she was afraid he would tell her to find another seat. "No," he said, gesturing to the chair, "Take the seat."

"Thank you," she said, setting down her cup and pulling out the chair. She sat down and found that now he was watching her.

"I'm Audrey Kirkland," she said, holding out her hand.

He shook her hand and introduced himself, "Ivan Braginsky."

She had found her future significant other.


That's it. Please review!
