Written by @yuuago · Illustrated by me
From their box seats, Denmark and Norway watched.
Norway watched the stage.
Denmark watched Norway.
Oh, he kept one eye on the show, and applauded in all the right parts. But he had seen Sylfiden performed more times than he could count, and he knew every step, every turn, every delicate jump. What was different now was the company he was keeping.

Hans Christian Andersen was close friends with a guy named Edvard Collin and the letters Andersen sent to him suggests he was hoping to become more than friends but Collin wasn’t interested. They stayed close until the end despite this.
Edvard is just the Danish version of Edward and Collin is pronounced like Cullen. I’ve been laughing for days.
