Welcome To Weekofhetalias Holiday Gift Exchange! The Hetalia Holiday Special!

        Welcome to Weekofhetalia’s Holiday Gift Exchange!                                The Hetalia Holiday Special!

Hello yet again! Happy Holidays, to one and all! I hope you’re having a lovely time this season, and if not, I hope things get better for you! 

There has been some interest of another exchange, so I’ve decided to host another one this year!

This event will be much like the week that was hosted earlier this year, however, in the gift exchange format. Which means, yes, everything is allowed! This is about Hetalia as a whole, so it may involve any ship, nyos, 2ps, favorite characters, anything your heart desires this holiday season! There are minor exceptions, as always, which can be found in the rules linked bellow!

And like last year, there will be the option of NSFW content. However, if you do create NSFW, I would prefer it to be uploaded on ao3 or another site that supports such content, and then link it to person you are gifting or to me. I will add another collection on ao3 for this year’s event as well.

Of course, there are options if you don’t want to create/receive certain content (ships, 2ps, nyos, etc…) in the submission form. So do not worry, I’ll do my best to make sure everyone is comfortable with what they are creating and receiving!

Here’s the schedule for the event:

November 11 to November 25: Applications are open

November 25: Application deadline

November 26: I’ll be messaging you all your secret santas and their preferences for gifts! Please reply as a confirmation that you got it!

November 26 to December 31st: The days you have to work on your gifts until the final absolute deadline. (Let me know if you may be later for any reason, and I’ll message the gift receiver about it)

December 20th to December 25th: Posting period for gifts. Please tag your posts as #Hetaliaholidayspecial2k19 or @ me so that I may find it!

If you are unable to complete your gift for whatever reason, please try to message me before December 20th so I can match the person with someone else who may be able to!

Remember, the deadline for applications/sign ups is November 25 2019!

And remember most of all, have fun, everyone!

Hetaween 2019 Day 2 Mystic creatures

Maddie stared at the creature with an open mouth. It strange movements too close to that of a human to be mistaken for any kind of animal, she might have to apologise to her brother for not believing him about bigfoot before.

Still, it was entirely possible that Alfred was using state of the art technology from his government to prank her. If she ever found out that was what is happening now right before her eyes, she would superglue a monkey mask to his face while he was asleep.

@weekofhetalia gift for @kagamimocchi. There was a lot of room to come up with something between the prompt: Human AU and pairing: no major pairings.

Hope you like Russia/Monaco at the Casino.

sorry russia’s haircolour went wrong. coloured it by the wrong kind of light.

Hetaween 2019 Day 1 Crossover

Just as the tip of the feather touched upon the books’ page, Francis hesitated to sign his name into the book in front of him. If he actually went through with this, he would have to leave everything he knew behind. Abandon his old life, including Arthur. The boy a year below him at school who, for all of his vicious temper and habit of pushing people away, needed someone to look after him.

Francis dropped the feather and turned around to run away from the coven, towards his petit lapin.

APH Valentine

Day 1 - Destiny/Coincidence - England/Portugal

As much a gentleman he could be, certainly in these modern times, he hadn’t been the first time they had met. Arthur had been youthful and wild, ready to fight despite his seize and filled with dreams of adventures on far away of shores.

She had taken him away from either of their bosses to show him a whole new world. She didn’t think he would come to love the new, foreign places as much as she did and even more so.

Being allies still just might mean they were meant to be together no matter what.

Day 2 - Broken heart - Netherlands/japan

The most important thing that Johan remembered of the year 1854 was boarding his ship and looking back at what he was leaving behind. The love he lost did not look back at him, but welcomed new foreigners into her life instead.

Haruka still dreams of the day she hadn’t believed would truly happen and what the Dutch fleet leaving her artificial island must have looked like while she was busy welcoming a strange  and younger outsider.

The next time they would meet, Japan would hurt The Netherlands even worse by making his people suffer so greatly at her hands.

He still hurts from all the pain she inflicted on his people and she still and forever regrets letting him leave in the first place on that day so long ago.

Day 3 - Holding hands - Netherlands/Canada

He hadn’t been part of the previous war, but knowing what it felt like he knew he should have been kinder to his sister and certainly her people when he took them in. Now, after having suffered the losses he did, he didn’t have the words to express his feelings for the young nation that crossed an ocean to help liberate his people.

He swore to never forget any of the things sweet little Madeline had done for him and Johan needed to give her something to thank her for all she did to help him.

She might like flowers and at the moment that was one of the few things he could offer her, but that didn’t seem enough for what she had to go through to save him.

He would simply have to keep giving her flowers.

Day 4 - Friendzone - America/Germany

Louise had been skeptical of the other young nation at first, his happy and extravagant style not matching her own introverted character. After her surrender she got to know him so much better and she loved him before she could stop the feeling, the only true doubt was that she didn’t know if her big brother support her feelings for him and now it was too late to ask.

After the spoils of war had been divided and the lines drawn, he was one of the nations that was going to keep a close eye on her and he was determined to not only do that but support her as well.

The first time he saw Louise in a dress, Alfred knew that soldier should have been part of his Hollywood instead and he regretted not having the means to tell the man that helped him gain his independence how he thought about the man’s beloved little sister.

It would take decades, but one day Gilbert ended up setting things straight between the two young nations.

Day 5 - Love letter - Denmark/America

One year Denmark suddenly wrote her a letter to congratulate her on her Independence day and continued to do so the years following. Amelia later learned that after efforts between some of their people, he started celebrating her birthday in his own country.

Years later the amount of letters he wrote to her suddenly increased after she agreed to take control of Greenland for him, so it would be free while his own lands and people where under occupation.

She had fully expected the amount of letter to go down to the annual happy birthday card after she had officially returned Greenland to Magnus, but that didn’t happen.

These days Magnus send her an email every day to tell her about his day no matter if it had been dull, interesting, boring or exciting and she would read them before falling asleep and answering him the next morning.

Day 6 - First love/Crush (mob! AU) - Germany/North Italy

Before his little brother had walked into the room, Gilbert would have preferred to make a deal with the real head of the Vargas family. That had been before he saw his reaction to the pretty little Italian woman has shown up as a representative for her grandfather

His little Lutz had stopped moving the moment he saw Feliciana Vargas and the young woman hadn’t stopped talking since that very moment, not noticing how red Ludwig’s face had turned when she hooked their arms together.

The pale man couldn’t help the sound that escaped his lips, “kesesese..” seeing that the bond between the Vargas and Beilschmidt families would be even tighter than anyone would have thought of before this evening.

Gilbert was the first to know.

Hetaween 2019 Day 7 Bloody Halloween

“You’re such an idiot, why did you try to carve such a complicated design into the pumpkin anyway?” The man asked, his French accent heavy while he bandaged his friend’s bloody hand.

The other blond looked away from the wound on his hand, softly mumbled. “America is coming over to celebrate Halloween at my house this year, and he always makes such a big deal of this holiday.”

The Frenchman sighed as he finished bandaging the shallow wound and said, “I did not know you still cared this much.
