Prompt: Quatre Winner/Trowa Barton, Making it work after the war
It is different in peace. No longer does fear and anxiety accompany every interaction; no longer does Quatre wait for the death-blow to fall. Everything is new.
Quatre returns to his family and Trowa goes to the circus and months pass. Quatre keeps up with all of his fellow pilots, helping where he can.
Months pass and all of them send him their gundams save Wufei. Another war erupts only to be put down, and soon there are no more gundams.
Seeing Trowa face to face... oh, Quatre longs for him. But Trowa is not for boardrooms or close scrutiny. And though that is the world Quatre has been groomed for all his life… in all honesty, it is not his place. He is a warrior. He has more than enough sisters who want command, and he is happy to let them have it.
Trowa does not return to the circus. Instead, he begins to travel the world, and Quatre smiles at his side.
