(Hetalia X Beauty and the Beast)
What would you do for love?
After getting caught in a rainstorm, a certain Matthew Williams stumbled upon a castle that he did not know to be cursed. Feeling unsafe, he tried to flee, but the master of the castle imprisoned him.
Matthew's disappearance didn't go unnoticed, not this time. His self-proclaimed older brother, Francis Bonnefoy, will do absolutely anything to keep him safe, even if that means taking his place and being imprisoned for life.
But even if the castle and all of its inhabitants are cursed, it doesn't seem all bad. Francis finds a few new friends there, and even the master himself may not be as horrible as his appearance suggests.

A Hero By Any Other Name [OLD] by Ese_chicanoL

[OLD. NEW VERSION OUT NOW.] One day, Alfred had mistakenly left his journal in the meeting room. He had left his stuff behind due to an emergency back at his home, and so; the remaining nations were appalled at finding something that he'd been writing in. And unfortunately, curiosity killed the cat. Many of the others began to read the pages, which led them all to realize that Alfred was a whole lot different than what they'd thought he'd be, for being the personification of the United States. Several twists and turns begin to crumble, as a hidden secret between Arthur, Matthew, and Alfred comes to light. While Matthew descends into mental chaos- the rest of the nations manage to take back the journal, only to find out some horrible secrets the American has about them.

He did it (F.A.C.E) by jelsa_fnaf_lover

A Truelove of Turtle Doves by a_probllama

(Pirate!Francis X Male!Reader) Captain Francis Bonnefoy, in a moment of desperation and with the rare gift of permission from a certain English pirate, docks his ship in a western port town in England, a small place by the name of Ringmore. It was originally in order to stock up on supplies, undergo a few repairs, and give his crew some precious time on land, something that was becoming increasingly hard to come by. And then he met (Y/N). (Y/N) (L/N), his parents, and their family friends, the Hardinges, are staying in Ringmore for 3 months, a usual routine that takes place every other year. Except this is his last year at Ringmore. When he returns home to the city, to the outskirts of London, he will be expected to get engaged with Josephine Hardinge. Somebody who he considers as one of his best friends. Not only that, but his father wants him to start taking on a role in the family business - something which (Y/N) loathes to even think about. So these are his last 3 months. The last 3 months of his freedom. The last 3 months that are his. And then he met Francis. ~ BOOK 2 IN "THE KNIGHT OF PLUMES" TETRALOGY ~ Highest Rankings: #1 in francisbonnefoy, aphfrance, hetaliafrance, and hetaliaxmalereader ~ Warning - This story contains swearing, violence, and sexual content later on.

When we were wallflowers by jelsa_fnaf_lover

After the death of their father, Alfred and Matthew are forced to leave their life behind and move to the states with their other father, Francis. Although they both try to make the best of the situation, it is hard when bullies are around the corner. How will Alfred and Matthew adjust to their new lives? How will they deal with life and school as their family grieves? This story is sort of a FACE family, but not really. It focuses on the brotherly relationship between Alfred and Matthew.

My Brother's Best Friend • Prucan by MaddiexRose

Matthew and Alfred are brothers, but polar opposites. While Alfred is incredibly loud, popular, and athletic, Matthew is a bit on the quieter, artistic side. Matthew has always found Alfred's friends obnoxiously annoying, but one day, during the "awesome trio's" usual hangout, Matthew finds himself engaging in conversation with Gilbert, realizing he's not as obnoxious as he assumed. (a lot of usuk... I'm warning you) * Art by @lattegalaxies on Tumblr *

Of Devils, Angels, and Heartbreak by romanoindisguise

Alfred F. Jones is the sweetdevil king of hell, a product of an angel's and a demon's love. Arthur Kirkland is a feisty angel serving the king of heaven, when he meets the king of hell in the mortal realm. Will Arthur learn that there is more to demons that meets the eye, or will he pay the terrible, terrible price of daring to fall in love with one? UsUk My own twist on the SweetDevil AU, apologies in advance if characters are a bit OOC I do not own Hetalia Angst/Romance read at own risk if you don't like the FEEEEEEEEEELS Gay ship but then again it is Hetalia so good luck finding a straight ship

Birdie and the Beast by Ireadtoomuchfantasy

A Hetalia/Disney crossover starring PruCan. Matthew just wanted one person to notice him. Gilbert just wanted to break the spell that had turned him an unawesome beast. Could the two ever find love?

The Actor by ImAProfessional0

Is the clown the fool of the story, or are you? After all, the clown knows it's an act, but the audience is so lost in it that they tend to forget. Alfred had lived a long life. He'd learned a lot in it. That England was easy to gaslight if you knew what you were doing. France would back away from any show of force. Germany could ignore a bumbling idiot even as the evidence piled up just because he wasn't very good with people. Poland saw everything and read people like a book. Prussia would keep his mouth shut if you gave him enough liquor or made him obedient. Russia would turn a blind eye if you turned one to him. China never trusted anyone even if there was evidence of the contrary. His mother's revenge would play out, and it would make him the happiest man in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hetalia:Axis Powers. No ships in this book! If there is it's in the past! Mostly sibling bonding. America can shapeshift and is non-binary (he/him female titles).

The Song of the Nightingale by xnthology

When Arthur hears that the French government has signed a peace treaty that gives Italy and Nazi Germany control over more than half of their country's territory, he rushes to locate Francis. Can romance be found in the ruins of the City of Love, or will war and destruction prove to be the end of all? (Rated PG-13 For Language)

The curse from long ago(Fruk) by jelsa_fnaf_lover

During the 13th century, Francis and Arthur knew each other since they were kids. However, their spiteful nature got them in trouble one night when they ran into a witch. The witch cast a spell on them to live forever by the time they were twenty-six unless they found love within each other. However, it's going to take more than just a century and complimenting to Achieve that. *edits made*
