Considering that webcomic and anime ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' requires [[Politically Correct History]] in order to keep the series as [[Lighter and Softer|lighthearted]] and satirical as it is, the fandom's come up with some [[Darker and Edgier|downright]] [[Dark Fic|disturbing]] things in the way of [[Fanfic]].

''[http://community.livejournal.com/all_he_ever/profile All He Ever Wanted]'' takes the premise and conceit of ''Axis Powers Hetalia'' (namely, [[Anthropomorphic Personification|personifying the Nations of the world]]) and uses it to [[Butterfly of Doom|explore the events]] of an [[Alternate History]] where England kept its 50-year alliance to Japan and joined the Axis Powers (which is not that farfetched a historical possibility). ''All He Ever Wanted'' follows the Nations through a prolonged [[World War II]] and the often-painful choices that this time of conflict forces them to make. Where Hetalia itself would [[Hand Wave]] the darker parts of a Nation's history for the sake of the story that's being told, ''All He Ever Wanted'' approaches them head-on, and has the characters do the same. However, your mileage WILL vary in regards of how well-done it is or not. [[Internet Backdraft|And this is all that should be said about it in the main page]].
