Title: Weep, Little Lion Man
Author/Artist:
hihippy Character(s) or Pairing(s): England, America. Mentions of France, Canada, everyone else I guess, and a vague India OC.
Rating: Tish. Somewhat sensitive stuff. England's slight foul language. Nothing much, really.
Warnings: Family, Hurt/Comfort. No pairing implications in this one, le gasp.
Summary: De-anoning a fill. Prompt: Annoyed that yet again England hasn't come to his birthday party, America goes looking for him...
Only to find England in agonising pain that lasts the whole of the 4th of July but stops the moment it becomes the 5th.
England refuses to explain but when America does some digging he discovers that this is something that happens to all ex-colonisers on the anniversaries of their colonies' independence. Their colonies leaving feels like they're having bits of themselves amputated.
The next anniversary of an independence, America shows up and major comforting ensues.
