Summary
Arthur had royally mucked up this time.
It had started out simply enough, if not, admittedly, a bit pathetically.
He should have known better. He did know better, actually, but he wanted to once, just once, prove Francis wrong. He was decidedly not sad or lonely or pathetic or going to die alone at this rate no matter what the stupid frog claimed, thank very much!
---
In an effort to shut Francis up, Arthur decides to conjure himself up a boyfriend using a pumpkin as the foundation. It's not intended as a permanent thing, mind you, just a means of making Francis eat crow.
He never expected to fall for his own creation, though.

Summary
Arthur Kirkland was nine years old when his world abruptly came to an end.
A completely tragic, totally unfair, and absolutely unwarranted end.
The company his father worked for had recently established an American branch and they wanted him to head it up, apparently. It was an incredibly opportunity, his parents said, one that came with a massive pay raise and further opportunities for advancement in the future if all went well.
Arthur didn’t care about any of that though.
All Arthur could see was that his life was never, ever going to be the same ever again.
---
When Arthur's family moves to America to further his father's career, he is absolutely miserable. He misses England and its many familiar comforts and struggles to find a place where he belongs in his new home.
That is, until a chance encounter in the neighborhood treehouse.

Summary
“That’s how you knew you liked me? At six years old??”
“I don’t know, Arthur!” Alfred spluttered in an almost whining tone, face reddening, as he flopped back down onto the bed, covering his face with his hands. “There was more to it, but I’m not explaining it very well, okay!?”
“I just— I just can’t believe that you—”
“Do you remember?” Alfred asked, cutting him off. “That first summer you were here?”
Arthur hesitated. “... What about it?”
“You know—” Alfred gestured awkwardly here and there, before making a strange flittering motion with his fingers, as though that explained everything. “The June bug thing?”
Arthur paled. “Oh, god...”
Arthur remembered. Of course he remembered.
The June bug incident.
---
An incident between their son, Peter, and the neighbor's daughter, Wendy, raises a question Arthur never thought to ask, and serves as an unexpected reminder of one of the stranger moments between him and Alfred when they first met as young children.

Summary
"This ceremony is to find Alfred’s Queen. His perfect match. His soulmate.” And oh, how Arthur hated the way that thought made his stomach churn and heart clench. “Once they are located, he will have everything he needs.”
“And you will remain alone.” Francis murmured, sounding saddened by the fact.
“And I will remain the sole, stalwart, sovereign of Hearts, yes...” Arthur nodded, suddenly very solemn. “And—!” He cut himself off, taking a deep breath to compose himself. “... And, I will support Alfred in welcoming his new Queen of Spades, no matter who they may be.”
---
Arthur, Queen of Hearts, and Francis, King of Diamonds, both attend Alfred's coronation. Per tradition, at the coronation's conclusion the newly crowned King of Spades also initiates the Searching Ceremony to find the next Queen of Spades.
No one was prepared for who the Queen's Light deems fit to Mark.

Summary
“But we had plans!!!” Alfred protested, sounding sorely put out. “We stockpiled our vacation days for months for this!”
“We did.” Arthur acknowledged with a nod of his head. His frown furthered as he brushed Alfred’s bangs out of his face for him, concerned by the amount of sweat gathering in the loose locks. “But that doesn’t matter right now. The only thing that matters is you getting better.”
---
After months of careful planning, Alfred somehow manages to get sick the moment he steps off the plane in London to spend Valentine's weekend with Arthur.
Written for Day 7 of the ☆USUK+UKUS Lounge☆'s Love and Libertea Event for the Valentine's Day finale! (People could pick any of their favorite romantic tropes/settings for the final day! I chose to write a little sick fic, since I had bronchitis leading up to this event!)

Summary
A collection of the works I’ve written for the ☆USUK+UKUS Lounge☆ Discord server's Transatlantic Summer of Love 2025 event. ❤️🤍💙
Unfortunately, norovirus knocked me off my game after just two entries! 😔 So, this is a very small collection all things considered. (Definitely not what I intended...) But I'm proud of my two little entries and think they're cute, so that's okay!! I hope you enjoy them too!

"A Spade of Hearts" Universe by libertea-4-all (esperwrites)
Fandom: Hetalia (Anime & Manga)
01 Mar 2025
Summary
This series is to collect/organize all of the fics I write based on my "A Spade of Hearts" USUK/UKUS Cardverse fic, which I originally wrote as a oneshot based off of Hydraespacial's Cardverse fanart (featuring Prince/King of Spades Alfred and Queen of Hearts Arthur).
In this Cardverse universe, Arthur was the Queen of Hearts originally before a surprising turn of events in "A Spade of Hearts" led to him transitioning into serving as the Queen of Spades, instead. This is a series of fics centered around USUK/UKUS, but there may be little ships that pop up in the background, at times! (These background ships will be tagged.)
If you decide to check out additional works I post after "A Spade of Hearts," I hope you enjoy them! ("A Spade of Hearts" can still be read as a standalone oneshot, though!)
