Wow. I'm posting something other than plushies. XD *is bricked*

Title: The Saving Grace of Antiquity
Disclaimer: So, er. Yeah. Hetalia isn’t mine. And the world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson, while in the public domain, is not mine either, but is the brilliant creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I’m merely er, butchering it for my entertainment.
Pairing: Arthur × Alfred; hints of Francis × Matthew
Rating: PG-13
Author’s notes: Multipart fic written for the

usxuk ficathon (the things I do for loooooove™). Crap. Yes. Hetalia set in Victorian England-esque world. Please do not take this too seriously. That I am on crack (or perhaps, like Mr. Holmes, on a 7 percent solution of cocaine) does not even describe the insanity that this is. Historical inaccuracies may abound, especially in use of language. Please feel free to bludgeon me over that.
Also, a shout-out to the Fic Fairy, who is Made of Awesome and sort of inspired me to write. *grins*
Warning: The title has no connection with the fic. At all. Really. And this is my very first public Hetalia fic. *ducks rotten vegetables* No beta too. Also, er, if you haven't read Sherlock Holmes, this fic will contain spoiler of them, particularly "The Final Problem," "The Empty House," and "The Red-Headed League."

How do you live, Francis once asked him not long ago in one of his frequent visits, when the centre of your world is gone?
