Gilbert Stopped Dead In His Tracks As Soon As He Saw Her. She Was As Beautiful As She Always Was, But

Gilbert stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he saw her. She was as beautiful as she always was, but that didn’t stop him from staring at her in horror. Or the infant in her arms. The way Daina was rocking the child in her arms to sleep while softly cooing at it looked right on her, but he was nowhere ready to deal with a baby.

He only just got ready to give this relationship a go and he was still very new to it, yet Gilbert had grown to trust Lithuania who knew how to survive in this household and had taught him how to after the war ended.

There hadn’t been a small child for him to take care of since Ludwig had been little. Which made him think about how much he missed his little brother, being separated from him by that damned wall. How quickly he had grown up, much faster than Gilbert himself, but the younger nations seemed to grow so fast these days.

Only now did she notice him. “Hello Gilbert.” Getting no greeting in response, the Lithuanian woman took a closer look at her partner. “What’s wrong?” she asked, seeing the fear on his face.

“Please tell me that isn’t yours.” As he pointed at the small, noisy bundle in her arms. Daina looked at him like he lost his mind. “It’s not mine, right?!” She simply signed as she shook her head.

“No, of course not. This is the little girl of one of the woman working in the kitchen.”

The Prussian supported himself against the wall before leaving the room.

“I’m getting a beer!” He yelled out in relief. Lithuania smiled softly and continued to rock the human child while she looked as her love fled from the room.

Interest Check!

I've been busy, so I wouldn't be ready by December, but January or February can be done if there's enough interest! Maybe I'll open spots for moderators, as well.

I'd appreciate your ideas and feedback!

The horror of drawing backgrounds...

She is done with him hiding out inside his basement, doing whatever. Francine is going to drag Arthur out of that house so he can get some sunlight. He's pale enough as it is, really.

Prompt Magic & spells for @hetaween-event-2022, but I started the drawing for the prompt magic from the last @aphfrukweek event.

WHO’S READY FOR A SECRET SANTA/EXCHANGE??

That’s right! We’re hosting one again this year! It’s a bit late, sorry, life has been. A lot. It’s going to work pretty much the same as last year, but this time there is no posting start date! If you work super fast, you can post pretty much as soon as you get your prompt. You do have to follow the same rules as always, though: please make sure your work follows the prompt at least somewhat, and make sure your work exhibits some amount of effort!

Timeline:

Sign-ups: Nov 25th - Dec 10th

Pairings/Assignments given out: Dec 11th- 14th

Gift Giving: last day to submit is Jan 15th. You can start posting as early as you like! What’s an exchange? How will this work?

It’s basically a Secret Santa! You sign up, get paired up with someone (but who got you is a secret!), and then create a gift for them! When it is time to exchange, post the gift on your tumblr and @ your recipient’s url! It will be reblogged to spaceracedates. If you don’t have tumblr, you can submit it to the blog and we’ll post it for you! Feel free to share elsewhere after you’ve posted. It’s just being called an exchange this year because it came out a little late, and will have to end sometime in early/mid-January. Don’t worry, though! You’re still allowed to ask for holiday-related things! What are the rules? Please stick as closely as possible to the request. Don’t give 18+ content unless your recipient has given the okay. If you have any questions about the request you get, message or ask here and we will ask for you! Fic should be at least 1k words. Art should have clean lines and some color or shading. Any extra content should be thought out, and follow a theme. Overall, you should spend some time on this! Don’t just scribble something on the back of your math homework and call it a gift - that’s inconsiderate of the person spending their time making something for you, for free. If posting on tumblr (rather than submitting it to the blog), please use the tag “#rusame exchange”. If you need to drop out or will be late to submit, please message spaceracedates! Have fun!
