Longest title for a chapter I have ever put in btw

*Ashes to Ashes

~~~~~

A few days ago:

Me*: *listening to music and scrolling down the comments on Youtube* Oh? What is all of this talk of a certain fanfiction? It's called Gutters? Hmm... Maybe I'll read it. What's all of this talk of...pineapples? What the heck? *shrugs* Meh, I'll read it anyways. Hope it's not super sad like that last fic I read... *shudders*

Note: *stupidly curious and completely blind to what's awaiting

Today:

Me*: *looks up from sobbing into a pillow for about the umpteenth time* I–I've finally finished it? Huh...*Sighs loudly, sniffs softly, and wipes misty eyes* Can't believe I finished it... Now I know what they were talking about with the pineapples... *sobs some more* AH FUDGE IT'S SO GOOD! QAQ *slams down computer screen and scarfs down ice-cream*

Note: *is now emotionally wrecked inside for an indefinite amount of time

~~~~~

*rereads paragraphs above and sighs* Wow, I'm weak.

I need to write this somewhere.

Folks, let me tell you about a wonderful little story called...

GUTTERS.

IT'S ON WATTPAD (though it's better if you read it on fanfiction.net...just saying).

This chapter I've published is mainly for people who've watched the show Hetalia; other people will most likely have no idea what I'm rambling about...

Just...read this fanfic. You won't regret it. (Well, maybe a little... Best if you have a pillow or tissues on hand, maybe some ice-cream to drown your sorrows with :3)

A few things though to keep in mind as you read though, to prepare yourself:

1.) It's got the Nordics! Everyone loves the Nordics~ It's a fact, and you know it.

2.) You'll want to climb trees again and feel like a little kid once more, and probably have the urge to toss things into basketball hoops...most likely dog toys. Squeaky purple and green ones to be exact. Just do what you enjoy.

3.) You'll want to write letters and notes to loved ones that have already passed away. Just...trust me on that.

4.) You'll feel a strange emotion overwhelm you whenever you look at a pineapple. Especially if they're in a can. Don't ask what that's all about, until you've read it. You'll know what I'm talking about afterwards.

5.) This is the most important fact. Angst. So much angst. That's an understatement actually. This fanfiction punched me in the gut with all that angst. It might take a while for me to recover from the rollercoaster of feels...

10/10 would read again. Recommended for any Hetalians, old and new. (Especially Nordic fans...ehehe) Yep, now I'm putting this right next to Auf Wiedersehen Sweetheart, another equally wonderful and unique story. In my eyes, they tie for the title of "saddest, most heart-breaking and angst-filled story EVER." It's just that good.

For people who've never heard of Hetalia, or read the fanfiction... *points to the image above* What do you think Gutters is about, based on that picture up there and the little clues I've given above?

Closest guesser is my favorite person! Jk, jk, I love you all. But still.

"And the world keeps turning."
