He was in a relationship with Matthew; he cared about that Canadian- and for the past few months has been deathly afraid of screwing anything up. Now this cheating feeling; he knew that couples broke up over this. Read it in those stupid books, saw it in movies- it caused heartbreak. Heartbreak was a sickness. Once again, Ivan destroyed everything- and this time he didn't mean to.

Besides their climate, Canada and Russia didn't think they'd have anything in common; they didn't care enough to find out. However, during this meeting, perhaps they'll get a chance and hopefully the experience will change them for the better.

Germany is haunted with distant memories of a child with a copper curl. Not only does he struggle to remember his childhood, he also has to deal with his conflicted feelings for Italy. Shounen-ai/yaoi. GerIta with Germany as HRE theory plot.

"This book tells a lot more, you know. It not only mentions Ivan, but another creature. Not merely a Nation-person but... something more heavenly. I think you know what I speak of. Tell me, are you still pure?" *AU of Giving In*
