Mr. President+desperate to find a certain fanfic

Artist: Rabbit_lololol
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Mr. Jones
Warnings: J. Robert Openheimer (thus, blood and da bomb). 



The guilt expressed by Openheimer in front of President Truman is the key for this piece.



Although it would be some time before Oppenheimer discovered how this dramatic competition to achieve geopolitical goals formed a backdrop to the use of the atomic bombs, he, unlike Truman, felt an appropriate revulsion at what he had helped achieve. When Oppenheimer met Truman for the first time on October 25, 1945, Truman asked Oppenheimer to guess when the Soviets would develop a bomb. When Oppenheimer said he did not know, Truman shot back that he did: “Never.” Unnerved, Oppenheimer said at one point, “Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands.” The president, furious at Oppenheimer, informed David Lilienthal, “I told him the blood was on my hands—to let me worry about that.” Apparently relishing this story, Truman later offered alternative versions. He told Dean Acheson, “I don’t want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again,” and another time called him a “cry-baby scientist."

And now the important part: I've been trying to find a fic. Some nice fellas help me here? ;^;

So, basically it's an Alfred-centric fic in an AU where nations are no others than normal folks of their nationality. It is during WWII, Alfred as a ground soldier has been stationed in England, during which he encounters Arthur after being hospitalized. After, they are sent to France (post D-Day). It is also during this occasion that Alfred meets Francis and establishes relationship with Arthur. Later the Allies liberate a concentration camp and find Felix taking care of Toris (by singing a lullaby, which I found extremely cute) and it is also during this occasion that Arthur swears at two poor guards in perfect German (that scene was cute too ;w;). And then, well, Alfred's walk with Ivan, bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and finally Alfred standing in front of Lincoln's statue.  

I, I just want to re-read it again because it's so tragically beautiful ;^; And FYI, this fic was posted one year ago (yeah...) Why I didn't put it in the memory?!!  

Anyhow, For the curious souls,
