    Summary

    He staggers to his feet, head throbbing, and vaults the stable fence. Only he misjudges it, clipping the top of the gate with his shin and dropping over the other side like a sack of potatoes into a puddle that reeks of fish guts.

    *

    A heartfelt 5+1 fic exploring some of the less glamorous years of England's life from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, and the people that shaped him.

    *

    This is sort of a contribution to some of the discourse (positive!) that I've seen recently about the role of nation personifications in the hetalia universe and the many multiplicities they contain. It's also an indulgent piece of creative social history of work for my own enjoyment.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
