Blue Blanket
Blue Blanket is an Axis Powers Hetalia fanfic by Karthenia. Originally written for the Hetalia Kink Meme, it explores the possibility of Sealand being England's child by rape, his relationship with England, and his search for his mysterious second father.
Contains slightly tweaked excerpts from Andrea Gibson's poem by the same name. Notable for making Sealand a sympathetic, likable character.
Tropes used in Blue Blanket include:
- Abusive Parents: England to Sealand at first, of the emotional variety. It's subdued and mostly unintentional, but it's there.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: You'd be surprised how well Sealand fits the role of a well-meaning, troubled child.
- Child by Rape
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The epilogue. Just... the epilogue.
- Dark Fic
- Dysfunctional Family
- Happily Adopted
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Done twice- once (falsely) by Prussia, then again by Germany.
- Mister Seahorse: Kind of goes with the premise of the fic.
- Mysterious Parent: Sealand's other father isn't revealed until almost the end of the final chapter.
- Parental Neglect
- Rape as Backstory
- Rape as Drama
- The Reveal
- Tear Jerker: Unsurprisingly, quite a few.
- Title Drop: A blink and you'll miss it example- France mentions seeing Sealand give England a blue blanket.
