America does very well in hiding his depression from the other nations, using his hero persona to mask the real him. The mess he was and what an utter failure he felt like. The mask begins to slip, revealing a tiny bit of the person he tries so hard to forget. When the other nations take notice, they start to suspect that their superpower isn't as happy as he seems.

Don't Leave Me
America is always smiling and goofy. Every nation knows him as the cocky, hero-wannabe, who contributes very little, and causes many problems. America works hard to put this image out there. It's both his shield against the world and the weight dragging him down. Everyday gets harder to deal with and the mask is falling off. When he feels alone in the world it might take an old friend to remind him that there is hope. Hope for happiness. Hope for his future. Hope for love.Complete
Descent
Many things fall. Such as heros. All heros eventually fall. Some because of a villian. But America? No, this hero was falling to something else. Something worst. Something more painful. He was falling to those he thought we're his friends and family. ----------------------------------------------------------------- You would think that he was one of the happiest people you would ever know. But that's a lie. America- no- Alfred was hurting. He was taking one to many hits. The pain was getting out of control. Everything was spiraling downwards. And America was desending further into depression. Warning: Self harm, depression, anxiety, eating disorders. Adopted from @The-Schuyler-SistersComplete
CONSTANTINE ( life of a masked person )
Many people walk through life never truly understanding the person behind the mask. Is it a case of multiple personalities? A carefully faked persona? Or simply a survival tactic to blend in, to be accepted? This book was written to shed light on the unseen struggles of a "masked" individual, a person who had to adjust to unfamiliar environments, not out of choice, but necessity. It's based on personal experience, shaped by moments of silence, forced smiles, and quiet battles. Behind the laughter was pain. Behind the confidence was fear. And behind the mask was someone longing to be understood. People often say, "Life goes on." But how can one truly move forward when they must constantly change who they are just to fit in? This is more than just a story. It's a journey of identity, resilience, and the silent war many fight behind the scenes. Through these pages, may you come to understand the masked and maybe even recognize the mask you wear, too.Complete

The Fake Smile He Wears
No Ships! i do be cringing at this very hard but I'll keep it up for y'all. note that the quality is very questionable and like most people i've reflected on the cringiness <3 The Ancients saw many of their children and grandchildren suffering alone, no one noticing the other's pain. The fake mask, the 'happy' countries wore. The secrets they all hid. The Ancients couldn't let this just happen, they came up with a plan. America was the unfortunate victim and test subject. America is the happy, joyful, always smiling, and loud country, but what if everything they know about him is a lie? A mask no one could see through. The mask no one tried to look through. There was a lot they didn't know about him. A lot he hid from them. A lot he kept inside his cracking heart. Secrets will be spilled, and skeletons will come out of the closet. Feelings kept inside for so long, will come out. The sides of America they never knew of will come out today. The mask will come off today. The mask that's been worn for so long. Will he be saved? What happened to America? Who is America really? How many lies have been told? How many hearts will be broken? Did they ever know America at all? How many friendships will be built, and how many destroyed? How long has America deceived them all? How will they see America now? Will America come out of this better or worse? Was doing all of this right? Only time will tell. WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️: Mentions of suicide, eating disorders, self harm, other mental disorders, and depression. If you are suffering from any of these things please get help. I know someone out there cares for you, if you can't find someone who cares for you, I do, so please get help.

A Hero By Any Other Name [OLD]
[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.

Strong, Truly Strong
Strong: Being able to withstand great force or pressure. America was strong. His parents had abandoned him, he always was blamed for things, and was always able to withstand all the insults that the countries threw at him, but it hurt though. He was strong. But many of the countries didn't know that. But when a world meeting reveals America's memories. They'll find out and see him for what he really is. Strong. But not just strong. Truly Strong.
