Wow - it was a long time since I saw this pairing written. Of course, there are not a lot of fic written in this fandom any more. Still, I have probably not come awake out of the corner of this fandom where I sleep to fawn over a fic since aforementioned notraffic last posted one. This fandom may be dormant,but there's still a bunch of people who are lurkers until something really worthwhile appears. :)

The way the quiet angst penetrates the entire fic is very appealing. I can't write something quite that subtle myself; I tend more to hit people over the head with the angst. I've always admired people who are able to capture it like this, quietly, though.

I do look forwards to finding out what got Heero killed and what he and Trowa meant to each other - also what history there is between Zechs and Trowa. Clearly this wasn't their first time.

First--thank you very much for taking the time to read and leave your thoughts here. It means a lot to me, and to know that there are still lurking GW readers. :D notraffic and I have an...interesting history in this fandom together, and for awhile I really thought we were the only ones left.

I hope I don't disappoint--the next part(s) are forthcoming, hopefully very soon. :)

Heartbreaking!

Poor Trowa! And I wonder what the history is with them... There's obviously a history between Trowa and Zechs, but there seems to be hints of a history between Zechs and Heero too, perhaps? SO much is going on! And the feeling of this chapter was just so... poignant. A little cold and aloof, and it suited the content so well! I loved zechs pointing out the routine things down the minute.

Thanks so so much for reading this--I know this fandom is a little empty these days so it's nice to know people are still around. :D

There really is a lot going on, and I have bit off a big one here, but hopefully I'll deliver in the next part(s).

Thank you again! :D

AWWEESSOOMMMEEE. Wow, you made a lot of changes, and I think they all work beautifully (from the ones I recognized)!!

Seriously dude, I just enjoyed reading this so much, I saw the "tbc" and I was like, "AW MAN NO." Please please PLEASE send me new parts if you want someone to look over them.

I know that I initially said that I thought the relationship between Trowa and Zechs didn't make sense to me because I thought it unfolded too quickly, or it I didn't get where it came from, but I TOTALLY get it now. It all fit together perfectly for me when I was reading. Your execution of the inferred history between the two of them, briefly referenced outside relationships, and contextualization of the post-war GW universe it fantastic. I LOVE how much you've established so far without spelling anything out, even a little bit. It's so much more tantalizing when you're reading and you're like, "Wait, what?" after reading a small detail, re-reading, and then realizing that a mere sentence fragment can completely change the direction you ( ... )

Please don't apologize for the length. It took me awhile to work my way through the comment, but that's what I like--a kind of dialogue. Thank you for taking time to read this thing that I've thrust out into the fandom, like, 10 years too late. :D I think that Gundam Wing is very complex and emotional and layered, which is why it terrifies me a bit to write about it. It can be interpreted in many different ways. I like to hear other's points of view.

I remember watching GW for the first time, and many times afterwards, and never with other people, always by myself. So, I never really had anyone else to talk with about the show, until I started writing fic. I'm really interested always in what people have to say about the way that I characterize, even if it's not good things, so I can try to understand different perspective.

And, when I am very excited for a fic, I usually have to read it 2 or 3 times, because I get a little too giddy--so, I understand. :D Thank you, again--I hope the next part lives up to the first.
