In the Shadow of Albion - C1

[ladyofpride.livejournal.com]

A/N: "Why?" you might ask. Well, this is really nothing more than a long-winded response to a dare, one in which the author was requested to exercise a unique pairing... Seriously, this was all I could come up with. *hides*

Title: In the Shadow of Albion
Rating: T to M — it should be important to note that if I do *coughprobablyeventuallycough* up the ante, I’ll put a big flashing light over the chapter(s) in question.
Pairing(s): I'm leaving this open with a ‘multiple pairings’ sign (because it's true), but I guess it also has an odd element of *England/Italy* that should be pointed out. The usual suspects are also present: Germany/Italy, US/UK, Spain/S.Italy, etc....
Warnings: dark!England, romance, violence, a smidgen of language, innuendos, and smex (though I don’t know what to level of detail just yet)
Fun Facts: I’ll try to explain everything along the way through the characters themselves, but if I sneak any jokes into the mix I’ll point them out at the bottom of the page.
Translations: Again, any of the garble I insult your senses with will be translated at the bottom of the page.
Disclaimer: Hetalia belongs entirely to Hidekaz Himaruya.
Critique? Welcomed.
Summary:  Meddling with the darker arts, England unwittingly unleashes a side of himself he thought was good and dead.  It's really too bad Italy’s the only one that seems to notice anything’s wrong with the old Empire...
