Nothing better to do, so I decided might as well make an FST 'cuz that's something I can do with minimal effort except whoops I put more effort into this than I thought I would. Nothing is ever that simple self, nothing.

I decided for this FST I would go through a theme, and after some thought I decided to go with a Gakuen based theme that goes through America's and England's relationship. It follows along with a story I had in mind for a while, but have been too lazy to do anything with it.

So I guess it goes from prior to meeting up until getting into a relationship and having their happy ending.

I tried to keep it kinda general but I think it spun into the gakuen verse through America's POV. So I might make another retelling the story through England's. This is more likely to happen than not 'cuz lolz Gakuen is one of my favorite verses in all of Hetalia.

If it's hard to follow let me know, and I'll be more than happy to add an explanation or get into the full verse of this FST.

Title: Landing
Genre: Romance/Friendship
Word Count: 1220 + (it was 1220 before the edit)
Rating/Warnings: T/none
Summary: Alfred and Arthur are brooding about two separate things.
Notes: I didn't have time to edit, so the only thing I changed from the two-hour speed-write is the last sentence. Therefore, the quality...

"America was brooding again. He slouched against his computer desk, glaring at the screen through his spectacles. England could hear the occasional clicks of the mouse as America browsed through webpage after webpage, the crease between his blue eyes deepening each time."

As of this post, all qualifying rounds have ended! Congratulations to all of you that have advanced. For those that didn't quite make it, there will be events in the Olympic Village for you to compete for medals in, so don't fret!

All time limits will be in CST. The full schedule is up here, so please look ahead! You can always check the current time in CST with this world clock here!

All main events (Icon Dive, Fic Sprint, Art-chery, FST Freestyle) will be run strictly on a "completed on time" basis. If you complete the task and cross the finish line by the deadline, you will advance to the next round. Anyone reaching the final round will medal, and medal rankings will be decided based on the quality of work (full color image gets higher marks than sketch, higher fic word count gets higher marks than smaller word count). But all finalists will medal, so don't fret it!

In events with fewer entrants who have qualified, we will keep advancing towards the final until we reach the final round or until we have only one entrant who has advanced.

CHECK OUT THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE GAMES! There are Torchbearer awards and MEDAL EVENTS in this post! Along with fun games and chat. Please check it out!

Congratulations to our first three medalists in the Speed Fic round! The Speed Art round is still up for grabs and more Speed Events will be posted in the Olympic Village throughout the week, so keep your eyes pealed!
