As you may have noticed, Thought Patterns is now one chapter shorter than it was! That's because when the plot took an overhaul, I figured the story probably needed one, too. ; And, by Joe, it did! I wound up editing out pretty much all of chapter two (which was terrible, by the by; why didn't anyone warn me!), and changing a few things. For continuity's sake, you may want to re-read, but, to be kind, I'll just tell you what I changed.
Remember Craig, from chapter two, and the whole molestation incident? Never happened. Duo and Heero's argument about Heero never telling Duo anything, in accordance with Duo finding out Andy and Heero were once dating? Never happened.
In fact, Duo does not KNOW Heero and Andy dated. I'm going to use that elsewhere.
Sorry about this! I mean . . . ; The plot just ran away from me. I was an innocent . . . er, partially-innocent bystander. I blame . . . Heero's past! Which has always fascinated me terribly.
I should also warn you that at this point, the story deviates from what you may or may not have read in Episode ZERO. In fact, just ignore all the manga that ever tied in to Gundam Wing. I'll still use a lot of it (like Duo's official, Episode ZERO past), but it's not a main thing, and I'm rewriting Heero's completely. ; Like with "Anrui Lethenanashi," if anyone's ever read that. I, uh, wrote my own!
But I hope you all still enjoy the story. Those are the only changes I made, and it now has a deeper plot. Chapter four is on its way to being complete (got it planned out, and partially written), but I probably won't have much time, what with planning for graduation and all right now. ; Hopefully, it'll be up before June, but I shouldn't make promises.
Hope you enjoy the revisions!
