Y’all I’ve been getting some GREAT asks. Like incredible. Things I never would have thought of. I have some in my inbox right now that I’m itching to start. I’m just trying to finish the asks in the order in which they were asked (for the most part).

But I just wanted the people who have asked me (mostly anonymous) anything since I started this page, I wanted to say thank you! I’ve had so much fun writing them that I hope it’s fun for you reading them. Also special thanks to those who have asked since my surgery. I’ve been stuck in bed (and according to my doc, will be for the foreseeable future) and writing these has given me joy and helped me escape the monotony and pain. I never knew I could care so much about people I don’t know irl.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

But yeah, main message is that I’m loving these asks, but a lot of them start with “I know it’s weird” or “you don’t have to” and you’re right I don’t but I so WANT to. Even if I was working right now I’d never be annoyed to get an ask. It means you took the time to engage with my page, and that brings me joy.🥰

(Continued thanks to @wawamouse for the discourse as well! I love getting your opinions on things in Oz and how to write, especially since I’ve been reading your page since before I had one.😁)

Could you write a Spencer Reid x fem reader where they’re best friends and when Spencer is taking care of drunk reader she ends up drunkingly complimenting him a lot and ends up confessing her feelings for him (and he reciprocates but not till she’s sober)

this has been in my inbox for like six months. then i started ovulating and watching cm again so… here is this little drabble

pairing: spencer reid x gn!reader

warnings: drunk!reader (duh), a mildly suggestive comment

——————————

We stumbled into my apartment after a long night. Really, the only people who got super blasted were myself and Penelope, but… she was never a good influence on me. I just couldn’t say no.

Spencer tried as hard as possible to keep a hold on me, but I was hardly upright as I laughed over nothing as we got inside my place.

“Quit moving around so much,” he grumbled.

“Maybe I just like your hands on me,” I laugh, leaning into him.

The blush on his face was bright as I told him as much, then he shook his head quickly.

“You’re… drunk,” he said after a beat, locking the door of my apartment.

“And you’re hot,” I retort, trying to kiss his cheek.

He pulled his head back quickly.

“Quit trying to kiss me, you don’t know what you’re doing.”

“I’m drunk, not a child,” I laugh. “You’re always cute. I know exactly what I’m saying.”

He sighed, trying to help me move to my bedroom.

“Let’s get you to your room.”

“Ooh, baby, trying to get me to bed already?” I laugh again, letting him pull me there.

He sighed softly. “You need to lay down. Go to sleep.”

He helped me plop down on my bed, then stood up straight.

“Why don’t you take me seriously?” I pouted, looking up at him.

“Because you drank way too much tonight, and it all got to your head. Your inhibitions are lowered, dangerously so, and you have no clue what you’re actually—”

“I know what I’m saying, Spencer,” I cut him off. “Just too scared to say it all sober.”

He raised his brows. “What?”

“I always think you’re cute,” I groaned, flopping back on my bed. My ceiling spun overhead. “I feel like I’m in the Wizard of Oz.”

Spencer merely quirked a brow, then helped move me up my bed, and haphazardly covered me up.

“Thanks,” I said softly, looking up at him. He looked like a little angel with my bathroom light making him glow from behind. “Morgan isn’t wrong calling you a pretty boy, you know?”

Spencer just watched me for a beat. “Go to sleep.”

“Will you be here when I wake up? Wanna tell you I like you.”

“No, you don’t.”

“I do.”

“No.”

“Yes,” I whined. “You’re cute and sweet and smart and when you ramble I just wanna climb you like a tree, it’s so hot.”

His cheeks flushed quickly, and I finally managed to render him speechless. I smiled at him.

“Swear I’m not lying. I’ve liked you like… forever.”

“I—”

“Promise you’ll be here when I wake up?”

He nodded. “Okay. I promise.”

I smiled to myself. “Okay, Spencie baby boo boo. I love you.”

He sucked in a breath, watching as I quickly began to fall asleep. He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead when he thought I was officially passed out. The last thing I heard before I drifted off was nothing more than a soft whisper.

“I love you, too.”

A hide and seek drabble

Platonic interactions with the kids and Diluc (or romantic for Diluc, not really specified)

Playing hide and seek with the kiddos of the Mondstadt: Bennett, Fischl, Razor, Diona and Klee.

Except hide and seek takes place at the Dawn Winery, and all the others have been found, so they ask Diluc who just so happened to pass by to help find you.

Without even thinking about it he crosses his arms and turns to the roof with an unimpressed face. No words really, while the others groan in exasperation in their own little way, the sight of you dangling haphazardly laughing in a "Better luck next time!" poking at their competitive nerves.

"Aw, come on. How come I didn't think of that?" Says Bennett

"Smart." Razor nods

"For I, the Prinzessin to conceal thyself in such a place, would be far too perceptible as - despite being a highly valued aid - Oz's livelihood is one pertaining of taking to the vast and limitless skies. To stow away upon where birds commonly lay would be but a poor decision for someone of my stature."

Diona's stomps her foot in light frustration, "Ugh, you've got to be kidding me, it was so obvious!"

"Aww, well next time maybe I'll get to hide somewhere really tall." Klee giggles in delight, thinking of her next opportunities to hide on top of buildings if the next location of hide and seek contained them..

Diluc looks at Klee with a raised brow, and then looks to you who also momentarily pulled a face that could only be read as an "oops." You supposed you would have to keep a closer eye on Klee the next time you played hide and seek together.

Standing by Diluc who watched the others enjoy their fill of the grape juice he asked Adelinde to bring he sighed before beginning,

"You should probably-"

"Let Albedo know of Klee's new fixation on climbing trees and buildings?" You chuckled watching her 'feed' her dodoco a grape, the two of you light-heartedly glancing towards each other through your peripherals "...Yeah."

A List of What I Received for Scribbles and Drabbles 2022

This year I was delighted to be gifted several different written works for Scribbles and Drabbles! I've collected all links and summaries here - I couldn't decide on an order, so I just decided to go with the order in which I received Ao3 notifications for them. (I've put links under a readmore to avoid taking over people's dashboards.)

Portal to Anywhere by Shadow This is about the doors we step through during our lives. Both the real ones and the metaphysical ones.

Early One Morning by elennalore Nolofinwë is often awake before anyone else. This morning, however, he finds Maitimo at his favourite spot by the lake; Maitimo who has not left his sickbed since his rescue.

One day... by I_did_not_mean_to This is my submission for Art Number 107 - Tree Mosaic by Anne Wolfe. In honour of my friend Polutropos, I made it a DaeMags piece; I truly hope that's okay with the artist. Lots of love from me, enjoy this drabble straight from my heart!

Family Portrait by maglor_my_beloved Having a portrait of four young children painted isn't easy

I know I've loved you before by I_did_not_mean_to This is my submission for Art Number 118 - Portal to Anywhere by Anne Wolfe. Thank you for being so kind and inspiring; as you can see by the word count, this one ran a little bit away with me for a Drabble lol Either way, I hope this amuses you a little… Lots of love!

Riven Water by Anerea Elrond meets the maker of the Bruinen River valley where he built his homely house… and they both learn they have a lot more in common than may be thought.

The Rings and the Triforce by Zhie The true power of the three Elven rings was not in their making, but in the power of the stones they held.

Robe de Style by lferion Luthien liked bright colors and contrasts.

Always Arwen by Zhie Elladan and Elrohir tour the halls of the Gondor Archives with their sister and give their opinions on royal names.

Colours of your Heart by maglor_my_beloved Gil-Galad knows the part he is expected to play, and he plays it well. Elrond refuses to play a part.

Eä, not Oz by lferion Dorothy finds herself not in Oz, but someplace Other

Waiting at the Walls by Zhie Bergil watches over the walls, waiting on the eve of battle. He asks his father questions; some are easier to answer than others.

Let the Only Sound be the Overflow by Lorinand_Lost Elwing dreams of transformation. For Scribbles and Drabbles 2022 for Anne_Wolfe's playlist submission

In the Halls of Waiting by lferion Being an impression of one Elf's journey in Mandos

Sunrise by lferion Watching the sun rise

Muddle Through Somehow

Word Count: 1,643 Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader Warnings: Angst, Fluff, 2020 (even though I don’t say it specifically...you’ll see) Beta’d by: @princessmisery666 - I’d be lost without you. xoxo

A/N: Written For @arrowsandmixtapes for my Merry Manda’s Christmas “Drabbles”. I was so excited when I saw your request, Kansas. This is my favorite Christmas song and it couldn’t be more fitting for this year. I specifically reference the OG version by Judy Garland with the original lyrics, but if ya’ll haven’t seen the video of Adam Lambert singing this song, you need to. It made my ugly cry. But like...in a good way? (video is here) Hope you enjoy this lovely!

Muddle Through Somehow

It wasn’t necessarily the soft sound of footsteps approaching that startled y/n. It was the fact that said footsteps came from a person who usually made no sound at all. If she could hear him walking, it was because he was letting her.

Somehow that made the whole situation worse, which made y/n cry. Again. 

Y/n buried her face in her hands, shielding herself from view and trying to muffle the sound of her tears. It didn’t work. Instead, the sound of feet grew closer more quickly. A heavy, metallic hand landed on her shoulder, tugging her shoulder until she was facing him.

“Y/n?” Bucky’s voice sounded strained and rough - tired even. “What’s the matter doll?”

On a good night, Bucky got very little uninterrupted sleep. Judging by the creases in his right cheek, the squint of his eyes and the mussed hair on one side, tonight had been somewhat of a “good night.” Until she woke him up and robbed him of what little rest he had been enjoying. Y/n sobbed harder.

Bucky’s arms, one warm flesh and the other cool metal, wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her against him. The gentle vibrations of his soothing words tickled her cheek where it lay on his chest. Bucky’s fingers skimmed the length of her back as she held onto him like a life raft.

Eventually the tears dried, leaving y/n red-nosed and sniffing against Bucky, whose firm, reassuring grip on her never wavered.

“I’m sorry, Buck. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Her voice was hoarse and sounded painful as she mumbled the words into the cotton of his now tear-stained t-shirt.

Bucky pulled back then; only enough to look into her face while his hands found her waist.

“Sweetheart, you have nothing to apologize for.”

His stormy blue eyes searched hers as though he was trying to etch the sincerity of his words into her corneas. Even in the dim light, y/n could see the furrow of his brow and the concerned pinch of his lips as he regarded her. 

Before she could argue or respond, Bucky was guiding her into the kitchen. Pulling out one of the stools at the counter, he motioned for her to sit while he set about making them each a cup of tea. The silence that stretched on was comfortable despite the occasional punctuating sniffle. 

Turning, Bucky produced two steaming mugs and handed y/n the one with Snoopy dressed as Santa on the front. His own mug featured Woodstock donning an exceptionally long stocking cap. He took a sip and leaned across the counter, elbows resting against the cool granite surface.

“Now, you wanna tell me what’s the matter?” One corner of Bucky’s mouth twitched upward as he readjusted his grip on the mug. 

Y/n tapped her nails against the side of her mug, eyes trained on the steaming cup, as if she were concentrating on the tinkling tune against the ceramic. She screwed her mouth up to one side, trying to find the words to explain. 

The soft clink of ceramic on granite stirred her from her thoughts as Bucky placed a finger under her chin and nudged her gaze up toward him.

“Come on sweetheart. You can always talk to me.” 

His voice held a nearly undetectable tone of uncertainty; worry even. 

“I know. It’s not that. It’s just…” she sighed again, leaning into his touch as his hand slid to cup her cheek. “I’m just...sad. I feel like everything is upside down.”

Bucky frowned, his hand dropping from her face and she instantly felt a chill at the loss of his touch. Rounding the small counter between them, Bucky turned the stool she sat on to face him and held both of her hands in his.

“Have I…” Bucky inhaled sharply. “Did I do something?”

Y/n sighed, silently berating herself for making him think he’d done anything wrong. She squeezed his hands.

“No, baby. Not at all. You’re wonderful.” Y/n sniffed and pressed her forehead against his. “It’s just this damn year. It seems like everything that could go wrong has. I mean Christmas is what...a week away? We have the tree decorated, the stockings hung...everything looks so normal from the outside. But it’s not. It’s like all the things that bring me so much joy every year are just making me so infinitely sad.”

Y/n’s voice cracked on the last syllable and Bucky wrapped his arms around her again.

“I think it’s just really finally hit me that I’m not getting to spend Christmas with my family. And I get it; it’s safest to stay away, but it’s breaking my heart.”

“I know, doll.” He pressed a sweet kiss into her hair. “I know and I’m so sorry.”

Y/n pulled back and offered him a watery smile. “If I didn’t have you, Buck, I don’t know what I would do.”

Bucky pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear and tilted her head up slightly. He returned her smile for just a second before kissing her gently. “I feel the same way, sweetheart. I’m the luckiest man alive. C’mere.”

Grabbing her hand, Bucky pulled y/n out of the kitchen and into the living room. Stooping down, he plugged in the tree and all at once the room shimmered with the warm lights meticulously wrapped around every branch. Y/n’s breath caught in her throat at the sight; just like it did every time. There must be some form of sorcery that went into Christmas lights that made them constantly emanate peace and joy no matter how sour her mood; y/n was sure of it.

Bucky then moved to the record player and dropped the needle, the faint scratch echoing softly as he returned to stand before her. 

“Dance with me?” Bucky held out his hand, eyebrow arched and a warm smile stretching across his face.

There was no hesitation as y/n moved easily into his arms and tucked her face into the crook of his neck. She breathed deeply, inhaling his warm scent just as Judy Garland began singing.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Tears burned at the back of y/n’s eyes and she clutched onto Bucky tightly as he led her in a slow circle.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the yuletide gay Next year all our troubles will be miles away

“This is my favorite Christmas song,” y/n sniffed. Bucky hummed above her in agreement.

“Reminds me of being a kid,” Bucky chuckled.

Y/n looked up and found a dreamy, bittersweet look cross his face. 

“I thought this movie came out after the war?” 

There was a time when Y/n avoided asking questions about the war and Bucky’s life before HYDRA. She hated seeing the pain in his eyes at the memories such things brought back. But over their years of being together, they’d both realized that avoidance only made the inevitable remembering hurt more. It was important for Bucky to retain those memories, even when they were painful.

“Yeah I think it did, but I may or may not have had a little crush on Judy Garland back in my day.”

Y/n scoffed, her eyes twinkling in the soft glow of the Christmas lights. “Really?”

Bucky grinned. “Yes, really. The Wizard of Oz was one of the first movies I ever saw. Dorothy from Kansas? She was a real looker. Those big doe eyes,” he whistled lowly and chuckled. Sobering quickly though, he leaned in, lips against her ear, and whispered. “But trust me, she ain’t got nothin’ on you, doll.”

Y/n shivered as he kissed her temple and pulled her in close again, continuing to lead her in a slow, graceful sway.

Someday soon we all will be together If the fates allow Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow So have yourself a merry little Christmas, now

As the song changed, the pair remained wrapped in each other’s arms, not caring if their steps matched the beat of the music. Between Bucky’s embrace, the warm glow of the lights and the soothing crackle of the record player, y/n began to feel the wealth of sadness that had been building inside her ebb away. 

Eventually the music faded completely, only the occasional scratch and groan from the record filling the air. Everything felt still and lovely and for the first time in a while, y/n felt whole.

Maybe this year has been nothing but trash heaped upon trash and the holidays wouldn’t be what they once were. But she had Bucky and the hope that someday soon things would go back to the way they were. And right now, that was all she needed.

“Bucky?”

“Hm?”

“Thank you. For everything. You said before you were the luckiest man alive and I don’t know about that. But I know for a fact that I’m the luckiest woman in the world. If I’m gonna have to muddle through somehow, I’m glad I get to muddle through it with you.”

Bucky smiled as he leaned down to capture y/n’s lips in a slow, sweet kiss. 

“I wouldn’t have it any other way, sweetheart. I love you.”

“I love you too, Buck.”

Their lips met again for a brief moment before a yawn overtook Bucky, forcing them apart. He grimmaced, sheepishly.

“Come on, old man. Let’s get you back to bed.” Y/n grinned and pecked Bucky’s lips once more before dragging him back toward their bedroom. 

“Old man, huh?” Bucky smacked her on the ass, making y/n jump and giggle. “I’ll get you for that, my pretty. And your little dog, too.”

Addy unlocked the door to Oscar’s-and Rhyder’s, she guessed-house. She had a key of course. She pushed the door open and was immediately welcomed by the Lil’ Bit. He nuzzled up against her hands and laughed, leaning down giving him a good rub. “Sorry bud, I don’t have any goodies,” she apologized, rubbing his ears. “Where’s Oz, huh?” she asked, “He missed our lunch date,”

Addy stood and walked through the living room, patting Baz on the head in greeting as she passed. She frowned. Oscar wasn’t in the living room, nor was he in the kitchen. It was usually one of the two, unless he was…

“Oh gods,” she mumbled, trudging up the stairs. Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard the low base of the song coming from Oscar’s room.

Addy pushed door the open to the dark room and leaned on the door frame.

“She break up with you, huh?” she asked, crossing her arms.

A moan was all she got in response. Addy rolled her eyes and pushed off the door, heading over to sit on the edge of the bed. She saw this coming. Rhyder saw this coming. The dogs saw it coming. And yet, she placed her hand on his leg.

“There, there, bud,” she consoled. “She didn’t deserve you,”

“I’ll never love again,” Oscar moaned into his pillow as he readjusted.

“Sure you will, buddy,” Addy assured. She then perked up, “Do you want to do something fun?” she asked. If Oscar were a dog, his ears would’ve perked up. “Do you want to go to that crappy Mexican place and eat a plate full of nachos. I’m buying,” There was a pause,

“Can we get a strawberry marg?”

“Of course,”

  ================================

 Roxanne McLaughlin did not get jealous. Why would she? She had everything she needed, and could get anything she wanted. She was on track to place in State in Fencing, she was on track to be valedictorian, and she had colleges and universities practically begging for her admission. She had no need to even entertain the idea of jealousy.

So why did she get a pit of envy in her stomach when someone else was taking Elliot’s attention?

She watched the interaction across the room as lecture had ended, and the class had free time to do work. Elliot was leaning so casually on the back of her chair, and she chatted so easily with their classmates next to her. Elliot must’ve said something funny, because the other two chuckled.

Roxie put her pen to paper as she scratched a mistake maybe harder than necessary. The pit in her stomach widened slightly. Why did she feel like this? She didn’t really care about anyone else’s attention?

She did, but not in a way that really mattered to her. So why was Elliot so different?

“Hey Elliot?” She found herself asking, leaning on her hand and looking at the shorter blonde.

Elliot glanced over and smiled widely. She had a cute smattering of freckles gathered around her nose, and they crinkled when she smiled.

“Hey Rox, what’s up?” “Oh,” Roxie blinked, she didn’t anticipate this. The hesitation was too small for anyone to notice though, only to her.  She smiled. “Do you want to come over after school?” Elliot smiled wider, if it were possible. “Sure,” she agreed.

“Great,” Roxie said, nodding to herself.

  =========================================

They had just made camp after leaving Pendrell’s home. The rest were sleeping. Maryim wasn’t. Though not for lack of trying, however. She looked up at the canopy from her bedroll and sighed deeply before wincing. Her bandages had been changed, but it was still rough going. The stars peaked through the dark tree leaves, and Maryim sighed again.

She had died.

She had left this realm.

She saw a god. She saw the missing god.

The one that she and her group of friends were now tasked with finding.

What had they gotten themselves into? Physically, Maryim was healing. Spiritually…she wasn’t so sure. Her body was here, and so was her mind. But she felt…hollow, in a way. Like something had been taken from her. She just felt colder. Not physically, but it was something she couldn’t place, and it worried her.

Things seemed to be getting more dangerous for their motely crew, and Maryim wasn’t sure how to protect them. That, and Civilization has seemed to have abandoned her. Anytime she reached out, all there was static. She had mistepped with Her, but Maryim had sincerely apologized. Surely Her other followers and faulted in some way. Why was She ignoring Maryim?

She groaned and gingerly turned to her side, playing with a blade of grass. And they had to go to the Capitol to investigate this Red Salt. Whatever it was. Maryim had a sinking suspicion that its grasp went much deeper than they thought. That, and that it was going to be tougher to defeat. And what did it have to do with the plain of red crystals in that plain? Were they connected? How did they connect? Oh! Let’s not forget that she had to eventually face her mother and try to explain ---

Stop. She told herself, squeezing her eyes shut. You’re just tired. And in pain. And your neck is cold. Go to bed.

Maryim groaned once more and buried her head into her headrest.

This was going to be a long journey.

“Sensei can we please take a small break? It’s been hours! We’ve been here since before the sun came up,” the young girl huffs after throwing what had to be the hundredth shuriken at the thick log.

The young boy, Haru, standing next to his teammate scolds her, “Come on Narumi we’ve got to keep training for our upcoming mission, right Izo?”

Izo nods and begins to shuffle nervously when Haru’s attention is trained on him. He hesitantly looks up at his sensei, “righ-right Obito-sensei?”

Obito jumps down from the tree he was on and walks towards his group of students, “correct,” he places a hand on Narumi’s head, “she’s right though. There is such a thing as over doing it. Let’s call it a day. How does fish sound?”

Haru whines, “but we had fish last time! Why not some big meaty steaks?!”

Obito deadpans knowing his wallet wouldn’t appreciate feeding the carnivore an 18 oz. steak. That boy eats like a bear.

“What about barbecue? It has been awhile since we’ve eaten any,” Izo quietly suggests.

Narumi’s eyes light up, “that would be delicious! Can we sensei? Oh please please please it’s been forever since we’ve had barbecue! Maybe Kakashi-sensei and his team could join us?”

Obito looks off into the distance. Having Haru, Sasuke, and Naruto in such an enclosed place would most likely cause trouble. What if they split up the kids and he dumps Haru, Sasuke, and Naruto on Kakashi? That’d be perfect!

“Sure! We can go by Team 7’s training grounds and see if they’d like to join us.” Obito gives them all a big smile as he hears a chorus of hoorays. He could sweet talk Sakura into catching up with Narumi at his table. Izo wouldn’t mind. It was the perfect plan.

If your still taking asks for the drabbles could you do something with brotherly America and Australia? if you don't want to don't worry about it! btw your blog is great

I’m sorry this took so long! I spent awhile playing around with the idea and I had so much fun with it! I love getting to write characters just having fun with each other and so the brothers concept works so well. I couldn’t imagine this scenario without Canada, so i hope you don’t mind that he’s included! ((And thank you for complimenting my blog- feel free to come off anon and message me!)) Also, the fork thing? Based on personal experience, my sister and i forked our friend’s yard once and they still don’t know it was us.

It wasn’t supposed to be a two-shot but I lack self control so here we go 

*****

“Right. You’re definitely doing that wrong.”

“Shut up! I know how to tp a house bro.”

“He’s right America, that’s not going to work.”

America jumped, “Jesus Matt, don’t sneak up on me like that.”

“I’ve been right here the whole time.” Canada sighed and rolled his eyes, then let another paper roll loose in the trees. “Alfred, why don’t you put the forks in the yard? Oz and I can handle the trees.” Alfred eagerly picked up the box of forks and set to work stabbing them in the ground, laughing wildly.

Australia groaned, “Oi! I swear to Christ if you wake him I’ll stab you with one of those.”

He stuck his tongue out and grabbed another fork. “Listen. England’s like, the heaviest sleeper I know, it’ll be fine! Stop worrying.” Australia and Canada shared a look before continuing their work on the house and trees, while America happily arranged the forks. He put the last one in the ground and stepped back to appraise his work. “Check it out guys! England’s totally going to flip when he reads what I-” he was cut off by a bright light on the porch turning on. Australia chucked the last of the paper over his shoulder and took off for his truck with Alfred close on his heels.

They were breathless with laughter, clambering in like their lives depended on it. Oz didn’t miss a beat- the second he was in the driver’s seat, keys were in the ignition, and they were off.

“DUDE THAT WAS SO CRAZY. I bet England is losing his SHIT right now.”

Australia laughed in response, “Wicked close, huh? Can’t wait to hear about it at the next meeting. Ice cream next?”

“Hell yeah dude! Midnight ice cream is the best!”

They rode in silence for a few seconds, relishing in the adrenaline and laughter. Then Australia spoke again, “I gotta say mate, I feel like I’m forgetting something. I grabbed my hat didn’t I?”

“Yeah, it’s right here. We just left the stuff behind.” There was another beat of silence before America finally gasped. “Oh shit man, didn’t we bring Canada?” Oz cursed loudly and immediately u-turned. They were barreling down the road back towards England’s house when they came across Canada jogging down the side of the road. America didn’t even wait for the truck to come to a complete stop, just flung the door open, and yanked him in.

“You guys-” *huff* “are” *huff* “complete assholes!” Canada leaned against the window, trying to catch his breath. America thumped him on the back, laughing.

“Chill out! We only forgot you for like five seconds!”

Canada glared back at him, “England could’ve seen me!”

Australia cackled, pushing his foot harder on the accelerator. “Don’t think so mate. You’ve got a knack for being invisible. Did you see him though?”

“Yeah, I did.” A grin was beginning to crack through Matthew’s annoyed expression. “Wish I’d gotten a picture. He came running out raising all sorts of hell. You know he still wears those old man pajamas?”

Alfred and Australia both yelled at the same time.

“You’re kidding!”

“No fucking way!”

And finally, Canada laughed and relaxed in his seat. “I’m not. The nightcap and everything. He looked like Ebenezer Scrooge.” They all laughed and Oz reached past Alfred to pat him on the shoulder.

“You did good Matt. We’re going to get ice cream to celebrate.”

Early the next morning in their hotel room, Alfred’s phone rang.

“Al.” Matt murmured, shoving him weakly. “Al answer your phone.” Alfred only replied with a groan. “Alfred.” Matthew’s voice was louder. “Your phone.”

Australia threw a pillow from the other bed, “Alfred answer the damn phone I’m trying to sleep!” When no response came, Oz finally got up and answered the phone himself. He couldn’t even get a greeting out before he heard the shouting. “Yeah Al, you’ve gotta take this.”

Finally Alfred blindly grabbed for the phone and put it to his ear. “What?”

“ALFRED F JONES YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE PRICK. I RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS.” Alfred winced, pulling the phone from his ear a bit.

“Yo, England, dude. Don’t know what you’re talking about. Also trying to sleep.”

“Don’t play coy with me, I know it was you! You’d better march yourself over here this instant and clean up my yard!”

Alfred laughed anxiously, “Seriously Artie, dunno what you’re talking about.”

“DON”T YOU ‘ARTIE’ ME.” England let out a long stream of curses before continuing, “My home is covered in toilet paper and the phrase ‘Viva la France’ is written out in my yard in forks!”

“Then why are you calling me?! Obviously it was France who did it! We both know he totally likes pissing you off every chance he gets.” Matthew snorted at that and buried his face in his pillow.

There was a beat of silence. “France is spelled with a C not an S, you asshat. Now come clean up this mess.”

“Oh uh haha, my boss is calling. Gotta go man!” Alfred desperately ended the call despite England’s loud protests, then turned off his phone for good measure.

Canada was laughing into the pillows and Australia stared incredulously from the foot of the bed.  “You fucking misspelled France?”
