I love how each one is looking at another person and how it's all a reflection of the mirror.
So much detail for such a tiny drawing!

Thank you very very much. It suppose to be an awkward scene because it's in Victorian era, so now she is kinda half undressed and Toris gets in and Ivan is right behind him. Note: In this story she is Ivan's fiance. Awkward....~

You're welcome.
Victorian Era is quite fascinating. Even though I know little about it.
Oh, then I guess Toris won't have a good time afterwards xD

It is.
He doesn't have a good time anyway XD....

Poor him, though.
What is it about?

It's like series. Detective plots of Victorian-Eduardian era. In the first "season" the villain is Ivan. He is a dipolic magician performer in Roderich's theatre. He coparates with Yao, who's opium merchant (see Opium war in London). Arthur and Alfred are the Detectives. Feliks is a main deponent and Ivan kills him. Ludwig and Gilbert are his lakeys, since Gilbert has debts to him. When they try to burry the body, detectives were there for a secret meeting, so they knocked them and try to kill them. Dr. Honda and H.K. (Heracles Karpuzis=reporter) save the detectives and German brothers get arrested. But Toris, Ivan's secretary, had witnessed his best friend's murder and testified. Ivan tries to kill him and his own fionce, Natalya, who testifid against Yao. During the arrest chasing, Ivan shoots Alfred, but Arthur gets in the midle and gets wounded (but lives). Alfred arrests Ivan, and they hung him as a murderer.
The interesting part is the Stockholm syndrome between Toris and Ivan and the brother issues of Arthur and Alfred.
That was the simple way to say the plot...sorry. It's kinda violent detective story. Toris has a low profile in the story. He is most likely the main victim, even though alive. What I like the most, is to investigte the psychological issues that turn a person to a villain.
In this story, you don't hate the villain. You feel pitty of him.
He is something between "pure evil" and a scared child.
He tortures Toris just to punish his own self for needing his sympathy.

I see.
It's really interesting, I think Hetalia characters lend themselves well to such things.
I mean, AUs and such.
It's nice, I don't like it when villains are portrayed in a way to force the audience to hate them.
I think it's not an accurate portrait of evil, since nothing in reality is black or white, completely good or completely bad.
Toris's and Ivan's relationship is fascinating. Forgetting their roles as Countries, even just as characters, they're pretty interesting.
Poor Toris, always ending up being the victim ... And Ivan too, it's like he's a victim of himself.

I say the same exactly in Haymarket Dr. (you gotta read this one if you haven't)
I know, that's the reason they are my fav duet. I don't see them as a yaoi pairing but as a very interesting Stockholm Syndrome-Guilt Complex duet.
May I tell you a secret?
The bonds of blood play will be published as a book in three parts and I just finished the part about Ivan and Toris. Of course, I had to change the names, but the story is the same. Some of the scenes that are gonna be in the book, they have been uploaded here too. I am worried if I have to delete them though...it will be shame...it was hard to translate them.
In any case. In this book it's the main point is that the villan is actually the biggest victim. Someone drove him to be like that.

Oh, no I haven't.
I like them as a yaoi pairing but I don't like it when they make them look 'perfectly fine and happy' just for the sake of ... 'Love'? 'Yaoi'? I don't know.
I don't even think it's love, it's more of a psychological twist and complexes ... And even as a pairing, I see it as one sided.
It's far more interesting from a psychological point of view, than from a 'romance' one.
It sounds awesome ^^
... Even though yeah, I think there may be some issues ... But, as long as no one complains and you're fine with it, I think you shouldn't delete them.
You know, I wouldn't mind writing a book one day, but since I tend to create everything with Hetalia characters ... If that ever happens, I think I'll have to change names and such as well.
But I wonder if people who know Hetalia would notice something.

Dunno. I don't like men and I don;t like yaoi either. I don;t mind of gay people, (one hitted on me once) but seeing men doing things...nah, not good for my aesthetics. (yuri is another thing X3)
What kind of complains could they be?
Yeah, me too... :S
If they do I am gonna admit it.

It's fine, I understand what you mean! xD
It's the same with me and yuri, ahah, I don't like it.
I don't know, publishers are weird sometimes. A girl I know was banned from showing anything related to her work because she was going to publish it.
But I have no idea, I know nothing about such things.
I'd be actually kind of fun to see people realizing that.

Mine is not gonna have a problem 
That makes me worry. I might have to delete the plays from here.
Yeah. I think it's gonna be like the crazy otakus that at last found eachother.
