To anyone who doesn't get this fic:
It's about a newly-widowed woman looking back on the life she had with her husband. They are both canon characters. He worked for Cyclonia but secretly switched sides and began spying on Cyclonia.
At the end of the fic Starling is revealed as the female half of the pairing. The guy she calls to inform of her husband's death is Spitz. Spitz is the skinny raptor in the show, so that means the only person her husband could be is....?
I deliberately kept their identity secret until the end because I wanted readers to think that it was other pairings such as maybe Dark Ace/Piper.
Any reviews telling me that this pairing is implausible and that Harrier likes Aerrow/Harrier/Dark Ace will result in a second author's note listing the reasons why those pairings are implausible.
Anyway, I'm planning another fic to get around the whole 'you killed my squadron' thing. Repton has a hopefully plausible reason for bumping off the Interceptors in the first place, other than the whole 'he's vicious and evil!' thing
