Instead of being rescued on the sunny shores of Chicken Island, Seven is awoken by a massive thunderstorm only to find himself bleeding out with no one around to help. Instead of total amnesia, Seven retains most of his memories - leaving only certain fragments blank. In this Alternate Universe fanfic, the world of Scissor Seven is introduced to a darker possibility where instead of dealing with an amnesiac moron, Da Bao must keep the world's most lethal Shadow Assassin from...well... assassinating him. ✂️----------------------- -------- ---- --- -- - - - - DISCLAIMERS!! ✂️This is a non-profit fanfiction.

I have received permission from them to write this fic based on their art work (which is like, hella good so go check them out). ✂️While I do intend to respect the light-hearted feel you get from Hellfarin's mini doodle series, I am me and this story will inevitably get dark. ✂️This story contains graphic violence, adult language, smoking, use of alcohol, mild sexual themes, and potentially triggering subjects. Reader discretion is highly advised. ✂️Special thanks to my friends (you guys know who you are) for helping me plan out a few of the parts. Huge preesh to ya'll.

Alfred, who has been told to shut up and grow up all his life, fears the scary and powerful Ivan. But to prove he is strong and to protect his friends, he attempts to face his fear. Ivan, a lonely Russian whose immense power has caused him to be very lonely and feared, hates the childish actions of Alfred. But what happens when they are stuck in the same house with each other for only heaven knows how long? Read to find out! This is a America x Russia fanfic of the anime Hetalia. I do not own hetalia nor the characters, but I do own this story. PS I use human names and hints of yaoi but nothing serious. ~Edit~ I finally updated the cover xD I didn't like the old cover, so I fixed it :D thanks!

(Warning kind of gory) Russia absolutely can't stand the sound of America's voice. When America comes over uninvited with a couple of drinks Russia unexpectedly slits America's throat. He isolates America in his home and enjoy's the fact that America can't speak anymore. Although as the months go by America begins to get used to and almost enjoys his forced silence; something Russia can't seem to understand, until he stumbles upon one of America's many written letters. When Russia is trash talked at a meeting he storms out on America during blizzard. They learn that their lonely pain and angst towards the world are not so different.
