Axis Powers Hetalia/Fanfic Recs/Shipping

The fanfic recommendations page for Axis Powers Hetalia grew so long that we had to split it into subpages. This subpage is for Shipping fics focused on the romantic relationships among the cast.

You can add to the current recommendations if you want; please do remember that you need to use the template found here and sign your rec for it to stay on the page. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

It is about politics and trust and flowers and scarves and being annoying and being stubborn and impossible love and aliens that don't make a lot of sense at all. It is about a game without relationships and possibly a relationship without games. It is about pasts that can't quite be let go of, not just yet. It is about a large amount of foolishness...

The Sonata of Servitude by LightofaThousandSuns
 * Reccomended by bubbletea
 * Character(s)/Pairing(s): Prussia/Austria, Servant-Master relationship.
 * Synopsis: Serving a master was never part of Gilbert Beilschmidt's life-plan. Neither was being dragged into a world of riches, secrecy, luxury and betrayal. Nor was finding love in a virtuoso master. A journey is beginning...for all. Set in the Victorian Era, England. Gilbert Beilschmidt hasn't been enjoying life as of late; what with his father dying years ago after the family business went bankrupt, and he and his brother not having a penny to their name—Well, strike that. Ludwig's marrying into Italian money within the next month, leaving Gil to be on his own. What's a man to do? Well, be hired as a servant for an aristocrat, that's what! Because apparently this Roderich Edelstein needs more hands—male hands—around the house; or at least that's what the brunette's parents seem to think. It certainly wasn't Rod's choice to hire the loud-mouth, egotistical, chicken-loving albino. And it wasn't Gil's choice to work for the Chopin-loving rich boy in a house with four other girls (who strangely gossip about men with...men). But then again, Gil will work through it—he IS awesome like that.
