Title: Everything but Temptation
Genre: Romance.
Characters/Pairing: France, England. FrUK.
Rating/Warnings: PG, mentions of sex, cursing.
Summary: Bittersweet romance fic. Arthur can never resist Francis, no matter how much he tries or how much he knows he must.

( “I’d let you have me, Francis… if I thought for a moment that it would work.” )

I've recently found myself warming up to FrUK. I don't think I'll ever love it in the same way I love USUK, but I'm definitely warming to it. Enough that I want to write a fic.

Thing is, I don't know what to write. I've never had any trouble with them as brothers but shipping them is somewhat new to me.

I can't see them in a romance. There's too much bad blood on both sides (the English still dislike the French for no other reason than the fact they're French). However I do quite like them as a rivalry-ship. I love the idea of them arguing so violently they end up fucking. I love the idea of Francis being the one Arthur turned/turns to for comfort when things are going horribly for him, and then they never speak of it afterwards. I like the idea of them both being very aware that this is how it is, that it's never going to be more than that, and they're both fine with it. No pressure.

But I need ideas.

COME AT ME, BRO(s).
