10 | !!This FanFic contains examples of: |
11 | * AlmostKiss: Quite a few times between a certain tsundere couple. |
12 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler: After hearing Lithuania's backstory, Russia has begun hovering into this territory.]] |
13 | * BatmanGambit: Russia uses one on an unwitting Lithuania [[spoiler: as part of a plot to discredit America to his superiors]]. |
14 | * BattleCouple: England and America look like they're heading this way. |
15 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Can America and England be anything else? |
16 | ** There's also Spain and Romano. |

18 | * BreakTheCutie: Oh, ''America''. |
19 | * TheCaptain: Both America and England are captains in their respective fields. America also qualifies as TheGoodCaptain, being a military man. [[spoiler: At least until chapter 27.]] |
20 | * DarkActionGirl: Belarus, a dangerously skilled swordswoman who wants to be TheDragon to Russia instead of Lithuania. She also appears to be the only member of the Kosmider [[ClingyJealousGirl wholeheartedly devoted]] to following Russia, with the other members seeming to follow him more out of fear than anything else (and some even conspiring to take him down). |
21 | * DatingCatwoman |
22 | * DeadpanSnarker: Prussia gets some of the best lines in this fic. |
23 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: |
24 | ** Somebody should really keep up a tally of how many people have noticed how blatantly [[HoYay not platonic]] America and England's relationship is. |
25 | ** A much more minor example is America's comment on how everyone knows that Japan is ''not'' JustFriends with Greece in spite of Japan trying to be discreet about it. |
26 | * HomoeroticSubtext: Very blatant in most of the characters, with the most noticeable being America and England (seeing as it's a America/England fic), Poland and Lithuania, Prussia and Switzerland and Spain and Romano. |
27 | * HonorAmongThieves: America learns about this and gains a somewhat grudging respect for England after he [[spoiler: calls in his favor to help his crew fight off the Kosmider, who were attacking another ship.]] |
28 | -->'''England''': They weren't after us. The attack was on Captain Carriedo's ship. We just came to help. |
29 | -->'''America''': What? You came to help, even though it wasn't your- |
30 | -->'''England''': Is the concept that we'd help someone else so unbelievable to you, America? |
31 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[spoiler: After America and England kiss,]], Switzerland delivers this to [[spoiler: America]] saying: |
32 | -->'''Switzerland''': It's not up to me to judge [[spoiler: the Captain's]] choices, but I will say...that if you hurt him, in any way. I will shoot you, and I won't miss. |
33 | * IslandBase: Australia's island |
34 | * JustLikeRobinHood: Captain Spain Carriedo of the Nuberu Pirates is described as someone like this; notable for his helping of merchant ships. |
35 | * LaResistance: As of Chapter 28 France is, appropriately, planning one. |
36 | * LoveEpiphany: Both America and England eventually have this in regards to their feelings for the other, albeit at different times: England gets his when he's watching America SleepCute, and America gets his when his best friend Japan prods him into realizing that he loves England. |
37 | * ManipulativeBastard: Russia, judging by how [[spoiler: he managed to frame America as a spy for the Kosmider and send him on the run.]] |
38 | * ManlyTears: After his [[WideEyedIdealist wide-eyed idealism]] and trust in the military is [[BreakTheCutie shattered]] when [[spoiler: the military frames him as a spy and strips him of his position despite his attempts to be good, America really does deserve a good cry.]] |
39 | * TheMedic: Interestingly enough, Switzerland is both the medic of England's crew and TheGunslinger. A SquishyWizard he is not. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by America at one point. |
40 | * TheMole: Lithuania. There may be a mole helping the Kosminder, too, but it hasn't been revealed yet. |
41 | * MomentKiller: Remember that moment [[spoiler: in England's cabin, which ultimately culminated into an AlmostKiss?]] Thanks, Prussia. Thanks a lot. |
42 | * MysteriousPast: Over 20 chapters and we still don't know why England is a pirate captain at so young, or why he dislikes the military so much in the first place. |
43 | ** Prussia's got one too. |
44 | * NeatFreak: Japan is mentioned as being one. England, too. |
45 | * ThePlan: What the Kosmider is pulling off, according to Poland. |
46 | -->'''Poland''': Everything the Kosmider does is... like, so calculated. They don't do anything on impulse. |
47 | * SkilledButNaive: America is an ''ace pilot'', having gone through the ranks, but his idealistic nature is mentioned/discussed/made fun of/complimented several times throughout the fic. |
48 | * SleepCute: There's a moment like this after America admires England sleeping for a while in chapter 16 after they've spent the night together. No, not like ''that.'' |
49 | * SteamPunk |
50 | * TrueCompanions: England's pirate crew and America's team |
51 | * WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: Chapter 27. Just when you think America and England are finally gaining an edge over the Kosmider, it's revealed that there's a mole in the military, America gets framed as a spy, and [[CliffHanger Lithuania...]]]] |
52 | * WideEyedIdealist: America. England even has him promise that he won't lose that aspect of himself when things begin getting serious. |
53 | * WillTheyOrWontThey: America and England. [[spoiler: And as of chapter 17, they ''do''. There was much [[{{Squee}} squeeing]]. Though they have yet to truly admit their feelings to each other.]] |
