The Train to STE Meme (SPOILERS for canon deaths)

You know those Train to the Afterlife memes? In STE the canon versions of all our characters are dead. What if there was a train bearing their spirits on to reincarnation here?

This is a meme where canon versions of the characters can interact. They all know they're dead. They may or may not remember just how they died, or how they got to be on this particular train. Doesn't matter if they'll be born decades apart - that just means some people disembark a little earlier than others. Go over brochures about what your new incarnation will be like, spontaneously turn or be human, try the snack cart, fail to convince the friendly but very busy conductor to give you a transfer, or simply chat.

You just can't stop the train, or leave it. Not yet.

'm learned parts off y'. [He's not sure if he ever told Finland that he used to eavesdrop, back in the days so long ago, because he could not allow his territories to know that their languages interested them - back then, it only seemed in their best interest to force them to learn Swedish...

But those times are long, long past. And he still thinks that he only really got to be able to speak the language when Finland took his hand in it.]

[He hasn't, and it's probably just as well (although he couldn't bring himself to be angry with Sweden now). Some things he's better off not knowing.]

It doesn't matter now, anyway. [Gently and affectionately.] You'll just have to speak Finnish with me in the future. [He lifts his head enough to smile at Sweden, running his fingers through his short hair.]

Y' won't know it.

[Which... he won't know Swedish very well, either. It troubles him, one of the few parts of this whole reincarnation deal that actually does trouble him.]

I'll learn it! [Firmly. He has to make sure that he's still supporting the right team at hockey!!

Besides, it's too much a part of him to believe that he won't learn, even if it'll take a while.] Maybe we'll teach each other. [He softens again, fingers moving from Sweden's hair, along his jaw as he looks at him. There are some things that make him uncomfortable about it, but being able to start again with Sweden on an even footing... not that Finland regrets their history or would undo it, but there are some advantages to having it forced on them.]

[He nods, and bows his head for a moment to kiss Finland's fingers.] We'll b' closer in age.

Oh shush, it's not like I'm that much younger than you! Not in the way that matters, anyway! [Mentally they're of a similar age, and thankfully his body has never been too far behind. It's not like he's a kid like Iceland or anything!

His playful tone is complimented by the loving look in his eyes as he runs his fingers over Sweden's lips, then pulls his hand away to the back of Sweden's head instead, resting there and supporting him.]

's lucky.

[He'll need to grab all the cuddles that he can now, because over twenty years might not be long but without Finland it feels like it will still feel long. Even if he doesn't know about him - her - yet.]

That we'll be together again, too.

[Finland agrees on stocking up on cuddles.

But then again he wouldn't complain about them even if they weren't going to be separated. Always cuddles. Always accepted.]

That's not luck! I'd have always found you. Or you'd have found me. [With a chuckle and a glance at Sweden. Probably the latter. But shh.]

[He hums in agreement and looks out of the window. But there isn't really much to see there.] 'm wonder if Den'll show, too. And Nor.

If Nor turns up, I'm sure Den would follow. And maybe Ice too! I hope they do - and Estonia too. Everyone, really. Although I bet Den'd keep injuring himself as a human.

Not Russia.

[Sure, he's relatively okay with him these days, but with all the shit that has gone down over the years he'd really like to avoid having him or her there.]

Not Russia! [He's quick to agree.]

Although if he does show up you won't lose me to him again.

You wouldn't want me to.

[Because the whole situation would, hopefully, not even arrive if they aren't nations.]

I wouldn't leave you! Or at least, I hope so. [He quietens a little. Maybe he's just saying that from his perspective now. What if things go back to how they were and he never over comes them? But no - Sweden won't be a nation, after all. Neither of them will be. They'll find a way.]

Do you think it'll be much different, being human?

'll be lonelier.

[Without having their people - without even the memory of ever having had people.... But on the other hand they will have actual families with parents.]

[That quietens Finland, and he runs his fingers through Sweden's short hair. He's never been very good at hiding his emotions, and as ever they show clearly on his face. He's worried for Sweden; he knows that he's not very good at speaking to people, and if that carries over, without his people or his bosses, without courts and other Nations, who will he have? He'll have a family, but that could be small, and Finland aches to think of him being lonely.]

Maybe one day we'll have a family. [He offers instead, voice gentle. Not that he doesn't adore Sealand and Ladonia, and the idea of a family without them feels wrong, but maybe, just maybe, they could find Sealand and Ladonia and have their own, biological children as well.]
