[Hetalia] Swan-Seeking

This was originally intended to end in a kink meme fill. It didn't. I thought about trying to extend it to fill the prompt, but realized that was incredibly not the point of the story at all.

Title: Swan-Seeking
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Hetalia
Characters: Sweden and adult Åland, references to Sweden/Finland, Russia/Finland, and Åland/fem!Gibraltar
Disclaimer: not mine, yo.

Notes: Jean Sibelius was a 19th and 20th century Finnish composer whose best-known works are based on the Finnish epic ‘Kalevala’. The ones featured in this piece are the Karelia Suite, Finlandia, and the Lemminkäinen Suite. I recommend that readers acquaint themselves with the “Death of Lemminkäinen” portion of the Kalevala, though knowledge is not necessary.

If there is any real-world interaction between Åland and Gibraltar, I am not aware of it.

Taiyaki is a Japanese sweet.

‘Helsingforsare’ is the Swedish demonym for Helsinki, according to Wikipedia.

Being neither Finnish nor Swedish, I have likely gotten details wrong. I welcome suggestions.


I may edit this at some future point to be consistent with the Nordic epicface that I'm writing. It's already halfway there.

( 'Dad,' Åland sighed. 'Sometimes I think you only call me because you need someone Finnish around you at all times.' )
