Echoing Solandra's opinion, particularly about the issues with characterization. Darker And EdgierAlternative Character Interpretation is in full effect, to the point where many characters are not even remotely similar to their canon counterparts (and in some characters' case, especially Prussia's, it does smell like that certain trope and Writer On Board). YMMV on whether the story is better for it or not, but if you go into this fic be prepared that it's more like an original story with original characters inspired by the premise of Hetalia than a Hetalia fanfic.
