    Summary

    “Now therefore thou art cursed from the Earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thine hand.”

    Rising tensions between the United Kingdom and the United States have forced Alfred F. Jones between a rock and a hard place—the desire to stand his ground against his estranged father and save his brother from the man’s rule, and the fact that he really, really, really does not want to go to war with Canada.

    Except it’s not really a war with Canada. It’s a war with England taking place in Canada, for the purpose of liberating Canada and protecting American sovereignty by expelling the British from North America once and for all. That’s all. It’s really quite simple.

    Working in foreign affairs sure is hard when all of your correspondents are immediate family.

    Summary

    It’s hard not to be patriotic in the DONI office, but it’s a fresh kind of patriotism. A kind that comes easily and leaves you feeling good. The kind she’d felt in the lead-up to last November, and which immediately left her body right after.

    David had laughed when she told him that. “That’s just Alfred,” he’d said. “Newbies always feel a little high around him when they get started.”

    Alfred, of course, being the person they refer to as The Boss despite the fact that his ID badge says he’s an intern. Alfred, of course, being the reason why this department exists in the first place. Alfred, of course, being… The United States of America personified in a human body.


    For the sake of bullshit government efficiency, countless American federal workers are let go from their jobs in the summer of 2025. It was only a matter of time before the Department of National Identity was hit, as no one knows what they actually do. Who would have thought this would set off a chain reaction leading to the reveal of... immortal personified country people who walk among us.

    Summary

    "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."

    Alfred Kirkland, in blissfully ignorant moments, forgot that he had a father. He's grown accustomed to living alone--as much as he hates it--and he's used to the guilt that gnaws at his soul for the growing resentment he feels towards the man. All of that changes one day in 1764 when Arthur Kirkland reappears after a six-year-long absence.

    Summary

    After his wounds have healed, Kyojuro resumes his duties as a Hashira—intending to do so alone, as he always has. However, the demon to whom he owed his leave of absence and who has wormed his way into his life over the past year is not about to let him go that easily.
