Do you spend a lot of time focusing on famous authors that have been inactive for years, and fics that were published half a decade ago?
Do you miss the way the fandom used to be? Do you even feel like the fandom is dying and nobody is making fanworks as good as they used to be?
Well, I have some good news for you – Hetalia fanfic is alive and well, and there are many wonderful authors still active in our fandom!
So, where do I start looking?
Luckily, five other wonderful people from our fandom and i have put together a blog that has an archive of recently-written hetalia fanfic, just for people like you who want to find more fanfic and get to know more authors in the aph fandom but don’t know where to begin!
The HWD Official Blog is the Tumblr account for the Discord server we run – the Hetalia Writers’ Discord, a growing community of over 100 active writers! On the HWD, we come together to share our work, exchange feedback, support one anothers’ projects, make friends, get motivated to finish projects, and more! And we’re in the process of collecting all of the work of our writers on the HWD Official Blog , so that any and all of you lovely people in the fandom can check out what we have to offer!!
And we have it organized into an easy-to-use directory format just for you. Here’s how to get started browsing!
- FANFIC: If you’re looking for fanfic in general and you don’t have a specific character or pairing in mind, this is the place for you! Our Fanfic tag includes only writing by our members – no blog maintenance, update or announcement posts – and includes all characters, ships, genres and ratings.
- TAG DIRECTORY: This is the place to go if you’re looking for works that feature specific characters, pairings, ratings or genres! HWD is completely ship-neutral and hosts works of all pairings.
- CREATOR DIRECTORY: This is the place to go to check out our wonderful writers by name, including their Tumblrs, their AO3 and FFN accounts, and more! This page was put together by Mod Sara, @kanadka !!!

Non, je ne regrette rien by @gnostic-heretic
Pairing: Lithuania/Poland, France/Poland
Rating: M
Genre: Historical, Drama
“It would be a wonderful evening, a wonderful night ahead, and he had never been happier in his life.”
god who ate everything by @52px
Characters: Rome, Carthage, Etruria, Macedon, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt
Pairing: Carthage/Etruria
Rating: G
Genre: Historical, Drama
“—did this world feed you?
The pallid web of peace sticking the Mediterranean together since the last war is cut into pieces. To discuss just how unhappy the Romans are that Carthage is not dead yet, Carthage himself is called to Rome. Easier said than done, as he has been under the ancient equivalent of house arrest for years and is barely fit to board a boat. What’s worse, to test his limits, the living ghost nation must travel much deeper into Italy than anticipated. Along the way, Carthage faces supernatural feelings centuries-buried before he faces his final grave.”

Between Shadows. by @morgenstille
Pairing: Belarus/Lithuania
Rating: T
Genre: Romance
One of my favorite passages from this fic: “In another life, the two of them are married and have a family. Toris wonders what their children would look like; it’s pointless speculation, of course, they can’t have children, but still, he wonders.”
Star Crossed by @flyingsassysaddles
Pairing: Nyo!Tibet/Nyo!Mongolia
Rating: T
Genre: Historical, Romance, Tragedy
A favorite passage: “Khulan trembled, burying herself into the Tibetan’s chest and feeling the week pulse of her friend’s heart.
The pulse sang a song Khulan had been listening to for 13 years, from the first time she met the crying girl who had fallen off her horse, to the first time they held hands when playing in the snow, to when the girl trailed behind her as she brought the hunt back home, smiling when Khulan returned to her day and night.”
bless me, father by @scandinavienne
Pairing: Germany/North Italy
Rating: T
Genre: Historical, Romance
“In Renaissance Florence, Feliciano struggles under the weight of his family name.”
napom, fényes napom by @phyripowritesthings
Pairing: Belarus/Hungary

“During less than a decade but spanning two millennia all the same, Hungary learns that she’s been missing out by not having gotten to know Belarus better, and she finds that maybe they’re just each other’s thing.”
The Dimensional Door by @scarlettlillies

“Eduard thought he was living a normal life, with good friends and a future he was working hard towards. But the world he lives in is not what it seems when he finds himself plunged into a role that only existed in the comics that Feliks liked. But he isn’t alone in all this. He’s glad for it, considering monsters and portals showing up left, right, and center.”
Wonderfully creative Sailor Moon AU that Lilly has put a ton of hard work and love into!!!

Castaway by @paperbarks
Characters: Australia, England
Rating: T
Genre: Historical
“All I want is you gone,” says Australia. The imperial statutes, the English judges, the marks of foreign settlement, the hoisted flags – all of it escapes him in the moment. Later he might think it childish, but in the present, England is an all-encompassing entity. England’s absence is the absence of control.”
The Gods’ Share by @kanadka
Characters: Lithuania, Poland, Prussia
Pairing: Lithuania/Prussia
Rating: M
Genre: Historical
“At the beginning of the 1400s, the Teutonic Order was at the height of its power. Their navy ruled the Baltic and their Prussian cities were affluent enough to wholly cover the cost of maintaining the crusading army of the Teutonic Knights as a standing force. By 1435, the country was demoralised and discontented, trounced by a gang of heretics, and all but powerless. Here’s how it happened.”
And we have many, many more where these wonderful fics came from!
