A Teardrop in a Pool of Bloodied Petals (One-sided UsUk + Ameripan Hanahaki! AU)

This book deals with heavy topics and is full of angst. There will be trigger warnings if there is eventually a self-harm chapter, but you've been warned.

Prepare for heartache and sadness because in this book I turn an already sad AU that was supposed to be a prompt for me to write a one-shot for @So_Elysian for winning a contest and turn it into a full book/story where I torture quite literally everyone involved. That's right, this is my first angst full angst story (rather than the small, around 1k word one-shot I did for my Death Note book in like 2014 or 2015, but that one's absolute trash, I promise you).

One-sided UsUk + Ameripan Hanahaki! AU

"The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient coughs up flowers or flower petals. The only cure is to have that love reciprocated or to somehow wipe away all one's memories of their beloved person. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals."

Arthur is a British man in his early 20s going to college in New York. He has good grades and is on his path to a perfect life (albeit probably filled with college debt) with a good job and great friends at his side. The only problem he's in love with his best friend, Alfred. Which actually wouldn't be a problem as they're both gay, except for the fact the all-American dreamboat already has a boyfriend. An adorably small Japanese man named Kiku. This one little fact and the disease that come with having a one-sided love for someone, the Hanahaki Disease, has ruined Arthur's life.

This book is the story of Arthur's journey dealing with this disease because he refuses to get the surgery to stop it. That stubbornness though may just be the death of him.

This book is also a Hetalia fanfiction.
I don't own Hetalia and the art on the cover is not mine.
