My first attempt at APH doujin manga~
a short 8 page story about HRE and chibitaly.
I am very sorry the lack of dialogue, the vertical shape of the speech bubble
just doesn’t seem to work out with English
(I did give it a go and failed miserably, tears)
I definitely gonna make them either horizontally round
or a least a bit flatter next time.

I neither consider HRE and Feliciano nor Ludwig and Feliciano as BL couples.
In effect APH is not a BL comic at first place.
It falls into one of my ”use your imagination” deliciously ambiguous category XD
I prefer to take “CP” short for Character Pair rather than
CouPle(which it really means I think)
and try to keep an open mind for my CPs, they can be BL or yaoi
or one of these less than a lover more than a friend kind of relationship
or just simply friends~
as long as I love the way their relationship develops in the original work.


I got most of the idea of this story from one of my favorite Japanese singer
Shiina Ringo’s songs, “Gibusu” and “Kono Yo no Kagiri”,
for anyone might interested in the story, here is the story of the doujin,
sorry about my terribly boring story telling skill XD ~

The story skip between the timelines a bit,

In 1618 after HRE left for the 30 years war, Feliciano was left alone in
Vienna, waiting for HRE to come back after the war, but he never did.

In 1645, unaware of the end of the war ~
both Roderich and Elisabeth try to shield Feliciano from the painful truth
Feliciano is still troubled with worrying thoughts about HRE,
and took the advice Elisabeth given, since he draws so well,
he might find solace if he draws the person he misses the most.

In 1806, Feliciano finally learnt the truth, though realizing they will never meet again,
he still couldn’t stop thinking thought about the promises they made before they were apart.
“I will come back for you after the war, hundreds of year may pass,
but you will always be my love.”
“You will come back for me and I will be waiting here with lots of cookies and cakes.
Please take care.”

In 1914, Feliciano met Ludwig in the forest near the border of Italy,
and Ludwig remind him once he fell into a really shallow box and was
(as always) saved and teased by HRE.
And he realized HRE always seem to find him no matter where he is.

“I will always waiting here, forever and ever,
hold me tight, as tight as you can and come what may.
Come back for me, closer and closer,
forget about what ever has happened yesterday and hug me.”

It doesn’t matter how many times you forget about me as long as we meet again.
if you forget about me… then let us start everything from beginning again.

"I love you since 900AD”
(HRE confessed to Feliciano in the last moment before he left)

You look at me and say “ Nice to meet you”
Can I reply “Io voglio stare con te (I want to be with you)”

It is said "I love you" in Germany “ich liebe dich” has a very soft sound,
it is best to whisper into to one’s ear/////////
unfortunately I never had the opportunity to learn Germany, is it true?
