I'm glad you guys like the idea of OT3s. But if two of the characters involved, like in the case of Canada/Liechtenstein/Prussia, form popular pairings, I don't think I'll do it since the whole point of this is to showcase the rare pairs. And on that note, Austria/Hungary/Prussia is also out because it's been overdone. And you may request an OT4, as long as they're unique combinations (but expect that those might take some time to think of a good plot), and it doesn't matter if one or two of those characters have already been done in an OT3.

Liechmania: Light and Dark
Lily wandered through the woods, enjoying the sheer beauty of the nature. Her wings were twitching, eager to explore the sky as well, though she herself wanted to see the land first.
She stopped when she heard a groan. It sounded like a human, or at least something capable of speech. It certainly didn't sound like an animal.
Lily hesitated, before she adjusted her course, searching for the source of the sound. If something was hurt, she couldn't just leave it alone. It wasn't in her nature.
She eventually found it, and her first thought was that it was a human, but then she felt the darkness surrounding the creature.
The creature, which looked like a man, lifted his head, and Lily could see the red eyes and fangs. This was a creature most foul.
A vampire.
Lily and the vampire stared at each other for a moment, and Lily expected the creature to lunge forward, but to her surprise it curled up, shying away. She noticed that it clutched its right arm with the left, and the left leg appeared to be bent at an awkward angle. When it pulled back, the left leg dragged after its body, and the creature winced in pain.
At that moment, Lily no longer saw the other as a horrifying creature, but as a man. A man that was hurt. She could feel the slight fear she had fading away as she took a tentative step forward.
The vampire flinched and tried to pull further away, but let out a groan of pain at his attempts. Lily held up her hands, hoping to calm the vampire.
"It's alright," Lily said. "I won't harm you."
The vampire looked at her, and Lily could see a small amount of fear in his eyes. The thought that a creature such as this could be afraid of her made the last of her inhibitions disappear, and she closed the distance between them, before crouching down.
It had been hard to see in the gloom and with the vampire's red coat, but now she could clearly see the blood that coated his sleeve. She placed her hand gently on the arm, and the vampire hissed in pain. Lily closed her eyes and allowed her magic to heal the arm.
She then moved her attention to the injured leg, and this time the vampire didn't move away, accepting that Lily wouldn't hurt him. She healed the injured leg, and she was about to ask if anything else hurt, before she was suddenly tackled to the ground.
Her eyes widened, and she could feel the creature's mouth against her neck. All at once, her fear returned, and she couldn't even struggle. She mentally kicked herself for healing the vampire, just so that he could drink her blood.
To her great surprise, the vampire pulled away without biting her, and she looked at him curiously.
"I can't," the vampire said. "Not you. I… thank you. For healing me."
Lily was speechless, but she nodded her head.
She once again had a different image of the vampire. He wasn't some bloodthirsty animal, like her kind often believed. He understood gratitude and mercy. She saw him as though she would see another of her own kind.
And she thought he was pretty handsome.
The vampire made his way to his feet, and he started to walk away. Lily felt disappointed.
"My name's Lily," she called out to him. "What's yours?"
The vampire stopped, and for a moment Lily regretted her impulsive act, sure that the vampire was angry at her.
"Vlad," the vampire said, before he started walking.
Lily blinked, realising that he had told her his name, and smiled brightly. She hoped to see Vlad again someday.
The prompt was: 'Imagine your OTP as a faerie and a vampire. How do they deal with their differences?' As you've probably noticed, it's almost identical to the Polmania prompt I used, so I altered it a little.
I slightly changed the spelling of Liech's name to 'Lily' instead of 'Lili', so that she's named after the flower.
