Okay! Lots of Hetalia fic to post about. Both the Secret Spectres exchange and SuNor week are finished, so I can post about them. :D
For Secret Spectres, I received an awesome SSSS x Hetalia crossover fanfic by Monabela:
Of silence. 1.2k, Estonia/Finland. I've wanted to read this kind of fic for ages, since the two canons seem like they would go so well together, so I'm really glad that someone who knows both of them was matched to me. :D And it has a pairing that I have liked for so long and still adore <3 So, yes, I'm happy. Might be enjoyable for those who only know APH; it's set during SSSS's prologue period, so all you need to know is that it's at the onset of what's essentially a zombie apocalypse. Unsure if it'd work for those only familiar with SSSS.
As for me, I was matched to write for

icelilly! We talked about the possibility of this when we were hanging out together in Ottawa, so I find it kind of funny that this actually happened. ;) Anyway -
Spend the night. 1.1k, 13+, Denmark/Estonia, ambiguously modern fluff. [
DW backup] I've never written this pairing before, but I've written both characters often enough that it went pretty well once I got started. :) Anyway, might be one to look at if you're looking to read something happy and sweet.
I haven't read all of the Secret Spectres submissions by other people, but here is one in particular that I liked:
Caveat by greendragon_templar. 1.7k, with Gilbert and Francis - and 19th-century vampirism! And bodysnatching! Ordinarily, I am not a human AU person, but this one is so fun and well-written, and I'm really glad I took the time to read it. Since it's fully AU, it can definitely be enjoyed if you don't know the source canon (I definitely recommend giving it a look).
As for Sweden/Norway pairing week, it's done! And I managed to finish something for each day
*! Usually, for this kind of event, I end up having to skip one or two days. I guess it helps that I started writing ahead of time. Still, it was pretty challenging to come up with something for every day
and post it on time, so I'm really happy that I managed to do it. Anyway, here are my submissions:
+
Do as you like - 1k, 18+, sex outside
+
Take it easy - ~800 words, 13+, lazy breakfast in bed
+
A certain kind of creativity - ~500 words, 18+, questionable use of magic in bed
+
As long as you like - ~500 words, 0+, a sudden snowstorm means an excuse to spend more time together
+
Currents |
Ao3 version - ~750 words, 0+, January, 1917; recently-divorced neutral countries being anxious about the current state of things
+
At dusk - ~450 words, 0+, there are strange creatures lurking in Norway's forests
+
Snapshot - ~750 words, 0+, memories of time spent taking pictures in the countryside toward the end of the 19th century
So glad that I'm finished this one. :) Now I can start planning for Ned/Den week too! That one will be much harder, since I've only written that pairing a couple of times.
