Fic: The Man Who Came Out Only When he Wasn’t a Turtle

[counterheist.livejournal.com]

Author: counterheist
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Romano/Spain, N.Italy, Rome, Greece, France, Prussia, Germany
Warnings: Human AU with nation names, parody, cracktastic, DATASS, turtles, fractured folktale, foxiness, Romano in a dress for no good reason
Summary: Based on an Italian folktale. When Romano gets married to Spain, the man who only comes out at night, he learns Spain’s deep dark secret and has to do something about it.
Note: This will make more sense if you’ve read this first. It’s the English translation of a folktale retelling, which probably makes this story so far removed from any original telling that it isn’t even funny. Except it is funny. (I hope.)

Once upon a time, a poor old man lived with his three marriageable daughters in a fisherman’s shack.
