2014 Fic Year In Review
Dec. 30th, 2014 07:14 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
So, I finished and posted 33 Hetalia fics of varying length in 2014. The tag for this year's stuff at my fic journal (
roesslyng) is here. It's a large number, but most of them are short; I wrote a lot more short things in this year than in the previous, mostly because I participated in a lot of flash-fanfiction challenges.
The fic I'm most happy with this year is Vltava, about the siege of Prague in 1648. It came out exactly the way that I wanted it to.
Complete list is under the cut. Keeping it simple: Title/Pairing/Rating/Length/Summary.
01. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Netherlands/Belgium. Rating 10+, length 150 words. Netherlands wakes up with a hangover and some pending apologies.
02. Puffins. Iceland/Liechtenstein. 10+, 260 words. Iceland takes Liechtenstein to see some puffins.
03. Mixed Messages. Denmark/Norway. 10+, 600 words. When it comes to serious stuff, Denmark isn't always good at finding the right way to say what he means.
04. Long Way Down. Netherlands and Japan. 0+, 190 words. His letter will get there before he does.
05. Susurrus. Netherlands/Norway. 10+, 630 words. Netherlands takes Norway on a boat ride in Giethoorn.
06. Equilibrium. Netherlands/Norway. 10+, 2k words. Norway might like spending time with those he cares about, but sometimes, it's a bit overwhelming. Sometimes, rabbits are better company.
07. (Don't) Stop Staring. Norway/FemDenmark. 18+, 4k words. Norway's trying to do some work, but Denmark is extremely distracting.
08. Within, Without. Turkey/Iceland. 15+, 300 words. Turkey sleeps, and Iceland doesn't, and he thinks about the differences between them.
09. Breathe and Abide. Sweden/Denmark. 18+, 1.4K words. It wasn't like this before. It is now, and it's good.
10. Vltava. Sweden, Czechia, Finland. 13+, 2.4K words. Business is what brings Sweden to Prague now, and it's an entirely different kind of business than what brought him there in 1648.
11. Love songs? No, next time. Norway/Sweden. 10+, 560 words. It's only been a few weeks since their relationship changed from friends to something else, and Sweden wants to see Norway again.
12. Accords. Norway/Belarus. 13+, 830 words. Belarus doesn't like touching, but she does like him.
13. The Night of 200 Spanks. Belgium/Norway. 18+, 580 words. Belgium helps Norway ring in his 200th Constitution Day with some celebratory birthday smacks.
14. Øresundsbron. Denmark/Sweden. 10+, 830 words. They used to be at each other's throats; now the bridge ties them together.
15. A Magic Touch. Norway/Sweden. 18+, 10K words. Sweden unexpectedly encounters a spell that turns him into a her. There's only one person Sweden would trust to reverse this: Norway.
16. Ifs, Ands, and Buts. Denmark and Norway. 0+, 850 words. Norway's stuck with Denmark all summer, whether he wants to be or not.
17. Told You So. America/Norway. 10+, 1.1k words. If magic books are chained up, it's probably for a reason.
18. Three in the Afternoon. Norway/Germany. 0+, 520 words. It doesn't do to get too comfortable too quickly, but what if that's what you want?
19. Untitled. Norway/Germany. 18+, 600. Norway likes teasing - and large... geography.
20. Deal with the Devil. Belgium/America. 15+, 300 words. America was so confident that his national team would win the match, he decided to make a bet with Belgium on it. We all know how that match turned out....
21. Cherished. Estonia/Finland. 13+, 600 words. It hasn't been that long since Estonia visited Finland, but it feels like ages.
22. To cleanse your tarnished dreams. Norway/Denmark. 13+, 2.6K words. Once again, Denmark fought. Once again, he lost. And as Norway sews him back together, he wonders what will happen after this.
23. Cool Rain. England/Norway. 0+, 2.8K. While Norway is staying over at England's place, a storm wakes both of them up. England decides to read to Norway to help him get back to sleep.
24. Warmth in Reserve. Germany/Norway. 18+, 5.1K words. Norway has his reasons for inviting Germany to his home now and then, but Germany might have reasons other than that for agreeing to the visit.
25. Autumn Snow. Norway/Netherlands. 0+, 300 words. Autumn snow comes overnight and leaves in the morning. That's the kind of relationship Norway likes.
26. Annapolis Autumn. FemCanada/FemPoland. 0+, 300 words. Canada takes Poland for a drive in rural Nova Scotia.

30. Bro, it won't even fit. America and Canada. 0+, 200 words. America finally picked out a pumpkin, but how the heck are they going to get it home?
31. Scary Movies? No Problem! Maybe. Norway/America. 0+, 220 words. America says he isn't afraid of scary movies. Norway begs to differ.
32. Songs from a secret garden. Finland/Sweden. 18+, 2.2K words. Finland's dream is a good sign that he really should give Sweden a call.
