Note: Mosh pits, magic, and mildly-mannered men

1. Denmark and Sweden are allowed to engage in water wrestling only when supervised by a responsible adult. Hospital trips aren't exactly fun for the whole family.

2. When at a metal concert, Norway and Finland are to be mosh pit buddies. It is crucial that neither are lost because Hel will dance with the mortals.

3. Sweden will do clothing alterations, if asked nicely.

4. Avoid pestering Iceland about whether or not he can see Norway's magical creatures. He has his own to worry about.

5. Making fun of Finland's ability to name things "is mean, and stupid, and, cruel." At th very least, the repercussions of such actions include being stuck on the naughty list and receiving zero presents from Santa.

6. If one is locked outside the main house for vehemently insulting Denmark's pastries, call someone else and one will probably be let back inside. After which, they are to apologize to the offended baker.

7. If one knows Old Norse, please be mindful of the East-West distinction. Having ex-vikings fill in missing or misunderstood ideas due to being out of practice doesn't lead to a pleasant and fruitful conversation.

8. It should be noted that Sweden is a proud and majestic man. When he wants to show it, he will. Until then, no surprise parades.

9. "Sorry" sessions cannot go on for more that 2 hours at a time. Otherwise, relationships will fall apart.

10. Watching "Vikings" with the Nordics is a risk-reward situation. On one hand, they can enjoy a semi-historical series with interesting characters and beautiful scenery. On the other...well, that's history...

I don't own Hetalia or its characters. I only own this fanmade series, "Nordic Household Rules".

Some notes:

1. Water wrestling is done when opponents try to hold the others' head under water until they submit. Matches can take lots of time.

2. Mosh pits can be dangerous territory, so try to avoid insanity.

3. Aph Sweden has altered clothes canonically and is good at sewing.

4. There are a lot of cool and creepy creatures in Icelandic myth, including fox-cats that kill you by looking at you and cats that eat those how don't get clothing items for Christmas.

5. The quote is from an episode of Hetalia where tiny America runs around and France loses a fish that he caught.

6. It is important to learn to apologize and to forgive, even when concerning baked goods.

7. Old Norse had some difference between where it was spoken in the East (Denmark and Sweden) and the West (Norway and Iceland). The ex-vikings wouldn't have spoken the language in a while, presumably, and so things may get lost in the translation.

8. Aph Sweden is only Hetalia character with a canon sexuality: he is homosexual.

9. Some games can ruin friendships. "Sorry" is one of those games.

Please, correct me if I got something wrong. Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
