... Well shit, it's been a while.

Hear me out, guys. AP tests kicked my ass, as did my depression. I have literally not slept in 3 nights in order to keep my GPA up, and I finally came back to this story because the guilt was slowly killing me. I know I promised a fast update. I'm sorry. I'm finishing this story in two weeks. I swear to God this time, it's getting done. It's been a year since I started this story in Trig class because I was so bored, and I feel like it's time for it to end. So, with that, thank you to all the people who are still reading. I'm sorry you had to wait so long, but here we go.

Disclaimer: You know what, let's do this. Allen! Alfred! Oliver! Arthur! Take it away!
Ollie: I did last chapter, though.
Yeah, so? PLEASE?!
Alfred: I'll do it, Ollie! Neah does not own anything recognizable!
Allen: They're a very broke bitch, so please don't sue them.
Arthur: They're also very sorry for not updating anything for months, so please don't spam them about that.
Ollie: What we mean to say is... Enjoy the show~!
... I'm not sure whether to thank you guys or make you redo that. On with the show!


"Ugh... what the hell just happened?" Arthur groaned, propping himself up on his elbow.

"Language," another voice huffed out. Arthur's eyes snapped over to the side, where he saw Oliver glaring huffily at him. Arthur scrambled to his knees and grinned widely over at the pink-haired nation.

"Oliver! I think the spell worked!" Arthur beamed. Oliver laughed a little and leaned forward to give Arthur a hug.

"I think it did. Now we just need to wait and see if we're right~! Oh, I'm so excited to see Allen again!" Arthur hugged back before pulling away and giving Oliver a playful shove.

"He's been talking non-stop about seeing you for the whole week, so it's safe to say he's pretty excited as well. How was Alfred doing, by the way?"

"He misses you, but what else is new?" Oliver teased, grinning widely. Arthur glared back playfully, and the two of them devolved into a contest on who could glare harder. Arthur was just about to win when the familiar tugging sensation started up in his gut. Arthur nodded at Oliver.

"I think this is it. Let's hope and pray, Oliver." Oliver nodded back and closed his eyes. Arthur did the same as blackness washed over him.

Please, just let things go right just this once, Arthur pleaded to the universe.


"-ver. Oli-... Oliver!" Oliver's eyes snapped open to see... Allen. And Francois and Matt hovering in the background, but mostly he saw Allen.

"Allen! You're here!" Oliver screamed with joy, vaulting upwards to tackle the American into a bone-crushing hug. Allen just let out a choked sob and squeezed back. The sniffling sound told Oliver that Allen was trying desperately not to cry.

"It's okay, Allen. It's okay, I'm here," Oliver whispered. This caused the brunette to break down completely, Oliver following him not long after. Francois and Matt both stepped forward into the hug, renewing the stream of Oliver's tears. He was just so glad to be back with his friends, family, and amazing boyfriend. Alfred, Francis, and Matthew had been amazing, but nothing could beat the original thing for Oliver.


"...-tie. Ar-..."

"Non, let me... -terre... Angle-..."

"Shush... Eng-... -gland..."

"ARTHUR KIRKLAND WAKE UP RIGHT THIS SECOND FRANCIS IS MESSING WITH YOUR TEA!" That last shouted line caused Arthur to snap awake... and swing a punch toward the nearest blonde blob, who he thought could potentially be Francis.

"Whoa! Artie, calm down, it's just me!" Alfred's voice squeaked out. Arthur blinked his eyes to clear his vision and found the American smiling down at him. Arthur sobbed in relief and flung himself forward to kiss his amazing fiance. Alfred eagerly returned the kiss, obviously just as glad to see Arthur again as Arthur was to see him. As both the blondes came up for air, Arthur giggled a little. All was right in the universe now, as it should be.

That is, until Arthur messed around with magic again. But they'd cross that bridge when it came up. For now, Arthur was content to snuggle on the couch with his boyfriend and two best friends and catch up on everything that had transpired that week.


A/N: Well, now that's done. Thank you all for sticking around and reading my trash. I'm finishing up "Lightning Strikes the Heart" over the summer, and then I'm moving all of my writing over to AO3. I'll still beta on here, though! And take requests, so don't hesitate to PM me. Stay awesome, my dudes, and good luck at finals for everyone who's still in school!
