Hey peeps! It's me again! I seem to have acquired a GW muse, so I'm
working it to death. It's not my fault if the poor thing wandered into my
head! Of course, it is my fault that it's currently shackled to one wall
of my brain, with various GW characters beating it with a whip, but oh
well.
Anyway, I HATE 1XR / RX1 fics. But I've decided to do one anyway, although I guess it's technically a R+1/1+R. For a while, at least. Okay, only in Relena's mind, and it ends up being a 1X2 fic, so. :::shrugs:: I couldn't help myself.
Please forgive me if Heero and/or Relena seem OOC. And the timeline might be a little messed up, so here's the explanation. This takes place sometime in the series, before Endless Waltz. This is from Heero's POV, except for what is in ~~~ ~~~, which is Duo's POV, and what's in ``` ```, which is from Relena's POV.
Once again, this fic wasn't written to be in chapters. I'm re-uploading it in chapters to make it easier for people to read. A 12,000+ word fic in one chapter looks pretty daunting, even to me. So please forgive me if the chapters seem oddly split up. I'll try and just make each character change its own chapter; if that doesn't work, I'll have each character have one part per chapter, which would make three POVs in one chapter, then the next three, and so on. I'll see which works better; tell me what ya prefer please.
Now the legal stuff that I have to put here: Gundam Wing doesn't belong to me, blah blah blah, don't sue, I'm poor. I promise I'll give the boys back after I'm done playing with them. Temporarily, at least.
One final note, this one about Relena. Notice that every time Relena has a POV in a chapter, there are now 2 chapters. The first one will be a Relena-bashing one, the second will have Relena acting like a legitimate, intelligent character. I'm leaving both up to suit different types of fans, as each way has its own merits. I hope that isn't too confusing. In an effort to make things clearer, I'll label the Relena-bashing chapters (RB), and the second, nice, chapters will be (LR). RB for Relena Bashing, LR for Legitimate Relena.
