Hetalia is a fandom of history, politics and basically the international relationship between anthropomorphic countries. It's not surprising that the most popular fics are also some of the darkest. People looking for stuff that doesn't make them want to curl up in a corner and rock back and forth is hard. This one, which has America being pathetically in love with England after thinking he got hit with a gayray is just the right amount of romantic and comedic and is probably best to read after reading that dark and disturbing fic. America is oblivious and people want to hit him over the head. Still, charming. The characters aren't butchered to fit the plot, despite it being a romantic comedy, and Arthur is in a pairingwithout being emasculated, which is pretty much an infamous trope in Hetalia fics.
