comment |
Sold to the Highest Bidder is an Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic originally conceived to serve the "Sex Slave AU" kink meme. The story is a sci-fi/steampunk hybrid, with the former predominating, and the narrative combines twisting interpersonal plotlines with a detailed account of the multiple societal layers within the universe.In a society where sexual slavery is legal, nobody's really moral or immoral. England is a pirate, stealing freefolk to sell them; the Nordics are gentleman thieves working to free the stolen; and Turkey and Greece are buddy cops Federal Agents hot on both trails. France, Spain, the Italies, and Rome are slave bondsperson trainers of varying ethics; and Hungary is the legislative power who somehow has to keep them in line. The east Slavics are high-society slave-owners struggling to maintain a nascent empire, and the Baltics and Poland are revolutionaries trying to bring it down. |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: Captain Kirkland receives this treatment from the Five-Man Band when they're forced to work with him, and all (six?) of them refuse to believe he's trying to do something good for once. He doesn't put much effort into convincing them otherwise. This later bites him in the bum, because when he gets caught and is about to be executed, the Five-Man Band is given the option to help him escape and they refuse. |

| | Sold to the Highest Bidder (Fanfic) / int_1869b4b1 |
comment |
Unreliable Narrator: All of the characters are this to some degree, since each have their own takes on their situations; for example, Francis looks like a Jerkass Domestic Abuser from Mathieu's perspective, but like a fairly reasonable (if somewhat hopeless) man in love from his own perspective; Ivan looks like a whiny Annoying Younger Sibling from Katya's perspective, a childish but ultimately benign friend from Eduard's perspective, and a brutish, pitiful Caligula from Toris's perspective; Captain Kirkland looks like an unforgivable Slimeball from Tim's perspective but like a slightly smarmy Noble Demon to Unsinkable. And so on. |

Poor Communication Kills |
| | Sold to the Highest Bidder (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 |
comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A recurring motif in the story. With varying levels of spoiler: The poor communication between the BSPA, Francis, Antonio, and Lovino causes both Mathieu and Alfred to wind up with the wrong buyers, and equally poor communication leads Mathieu to the false hope that he may find mercy and freedom, which are promptly ripped from him. The poor communication between the Five-Man Band members in themselves and toward the police officers lands all five of them in jail. Poor communication between Eduard, Toris, and Ivan causes all of them to be nearly blown up, and an equally tragic misunderstanding between Ivan, Katya, and their troops caused a genocide of Kala in Darinys. Meanwhile, poor communication between Adnan and Karpusi causes them to continuously fail to catch their crooks, and poor communication between Unsinkable and Kirkland threatens to fracture their friendship many times. And that's just the overview. |

Ironic Echo: During Ivan's Crisis of Faith after realizing Toris is The Mole, Ivan asks Eduard whether, if somebody tells you something while trying to manipulate you, the conclusions you come to can still be true. Eduard tells him yes. Later, when Ivan confronts Eduard about working with the revolutionaries, Eduard reminds him that even if the revolutionaries where manipulating him, the conclusions he came to — that The Empire is corrupt and dangerous — could still be true. |

Missing White Woman Syndrome: More like Missing Well-To-Do Person Syndrome, but it's explicitly pointed out (in multiple instances) that the media is only concerned about the disappearance of the upper-middle-class Alfred F. Jones after the pirate raids, and don't even report the names of the thirty-some poorer or homeless folks the Great Delivery also picked up. |

Toris's backstory is possibly the worst of these; his family was shot, so he ran away to his grandmother, only to be deported away from her on a train that was taken under rebel control and stashed with weaponry. After finding him on the train, the rebels recruited him as a Child Soldier; after this, he becomes involved in a Shoot the Hostage situation that causes his hometown to be bombed, leaving nearly everyone he knows dead, save for his Morality Pets Feliks and Raivis, who he finds starved and dying of cholera. |

When Ivan nobly tries to free Eduard, this is pretty much the result; all Eduard has known his whole life is slavery, so he has nowhere to go, no skills, and no friends, not to mention that he's frightened and confused by the idea of losing the only life and identity he's ever had. Needless to say, Eduard is not happy with this course of action, and Ivan gives up on it and doesn't bring it up again for a long time. |

*Click* Hello: Toris greets Eduard with one of these. There's a rather amusing web of these at Francis's emporium on Hallar at one point, with Francis pointing a gun at Captain Kirkland, only for Unsinkable to appear with his gun pointed at Mathieu. |

Make It Look Like an Accident: Rare heroic example; Ivan spares the revolutionaries by claiming the detonation of the Duma was a freak moonshining accident, then sending them out of the country. |

Bittersweet Ending: At the end, almost everyone got what they wanted — that is to say, Ivan freed Eduard, the Capt. and Unsinkable returned Alfred home, and the Five-Man Band reunited Willem and Margot. Unfortunately, Avo Romae was still in business with his grandsons still under his thumb, Alfred grew up to be introverted and disillusioned, the revolutionaries failed miserably and the ineffective regime of power in The Empire went on, Willem and Margot never overcame their traumas, and Mathieu continued to be confused and uncertain about his life. But at least Kiku and Natalya wound up together. |

comment |
Another specific example, though a less subtle one — the auctioneer pointing out how remarkably similar Alfred and Mathieu look. They were identical twins Separated at Birth when Mathieu was sold into slavery. This becomes a plot point when the other characters mix them up... and Francis winds up with Alfred while Feliciano and Lovino wind up with Mathieu. |

Trauma Conga Line: Too many to count, but we'll try: Unsinkable's backstory is one long conga line of rape. Margot was unjustly captured and bounced around like Unsinkable, only to be nearly put down by the system. Ivan and Katya's parents were brutally assassinated, leaving Ivan to lead the Empire and Katya to lead the Emperor; both are faced with The Chains of Commanding as revolution and war threaten their country and their family for the rest of their lives. Not to mention that, somewhere in there, Ivan found the time to nearly lose his mind... Toris's backstory is possibly the worst of these; his family was shot, so he ran away to his grandmother, only to be deported away from her on a train that was taken under rebel control and stashed with weaponry. After finding him on the train, the rebels recruited him as a Child Soldier; after this, he becomes involved in a Shoot the Hostage situation that causes his hometown to be bombed, leaving nearly everyone he knows dead, save for his Morality Pets Feliks and Raivis, who he finds starved and dying of cholera. |

Seen: The Five-Man Band liberating slaves across the universe is the most straightforwardly good, along with Margot and Alfred being, for the most part, innocent. The Unsinkable and Eduard are both relatively good people allied with some less-good allies — which they hope to fix. Ivan is a devout and kindhearted person who winds up unintentionally hurting a lot of other people. Lovino is a Knight in Sour Armor who resists the bonds system but doesn't make an active attempt to fix it; Feliciano and Captain Kirkland both come to disagree with it but still help it along, planting them firmly among the Anti-Hero regimen. The police, Francis, Yao, and Elizabeta and her husband are not necessarily bad people, but cause a lot of the plot's conflicts and often stand in the way of the right thing. The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized among the Kilnus; Toris, Raivis, and Feliks are on the darker end of things, as are the members of The Empire they resist — Katya, primarily. Avo Romae and the other bondsperson traders and trainers are the most straightforwardly bad characters, though they don't see anything wrong with their actions, themselves. |

So Much for Stealth |
| | Sold to the Highest Bidder (Fanfic) / int_7831c048 |
comment |
So Much for Stealth: The first thing an undercover Raivis does in the story is strike up a pretty obvious conversation with a member of the enemy, then promptly says something incredibly awkward and covers it up by revealing vital information. Danmark somehow decides it's proper to flip a table whilst stealthily hanging around the Decennial auction. |

Foreshadowing: Plenty, though it's quite subtle. For example, this conversation: Another specific example, though a less subtle one — the auctioneer pointing out how remarkably similar Alfred and Mathieu look. They were identical twins Separated at Birth when Mathieu was sold into slavery. This becomes a plot point when the other characters mix them up... and Francis winds up with Alfred while Feliciano and Lovino wind up with Mathieu. |

Happiness in Slavery: Katya's bondsgirl has this. So does Ludwig. Mathieu starts out this way, before the government crackdowns force Francis to auction him and he realizes that might be a good thing. When Ivan nobly tries to free Eduard, this is pretty much the result; all Eduard has known his whole life is slavery, so he has nowhere to go, no skills, and no friends, not to mention that he's frightened and confused by the idea of losing the only life and identity he's ever had. Needless to say, Eduard is not happy with this course of action, and Ivan gives up on it and doesn't bring it up again for a long time. |

comment |
Maybe Ever After: A few in the epilogue. The relationship between Kirkland and Unsinkable is never resolved. Then, it states that Lovino thinks pursuing Mathieu would be foolish because "he knows a lost cause when he sees one"... only to go on and say that he's done stupider things. The epilogue also states that Willem and Margot can't have normal romantic or sexual relationships again, but continues on to say, "then again, neither of them have yet tried." It does also note that Adnan and Karpusi get to remain working partners indefinitely, and Francis and Elizaveta continue working with each other, noting in both cases that "certain ladies doth protest too much". |
