  • Feb. 27th, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Title: The Arrangement
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Pairing: Heero/Wufei; surprise background pairing for other pilots
Categories: pre-slash AND established relationship, angst, romance, drama, post-series, action/adventure
Length: (really) Epic [~250,000 words!]
Warnings: violence, skeevy undercover activities


Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] maldoror_gw 
Website: Raygun Works

Author's Summary: "Wufei, struggling with his demons, agrees to a wartime fling with Heero, no affection needed or wanted. But the 'arrangement' lasts and grows as they join the Preventers. It could become a source of strength for both... if they let it."

Review:
This may be my very favorite Gundam Wing story.  For those not familiar with the fandom...

Brief Explanation of Canon and Fandom )

This epic posits the idea that both of these characters, thinking themselves to be rational at heart, may have been willing to engage in some practical, stress-releasing "arrangement", and that while they think it won't impact their decisions or fighting ability, it most certainly does.  The author states repeatedly that this isn't a romance. I respectfully disagree. When two characters become intimate, and they become more fully realized as people because of that relationship and what their partner means to them, and we see how it all happens, it's a romance. Even if it never gets mushy, or the characters are allergic to the word "love". It's a well-written romance, too.  The characters develop in front of your eyes, and the author writes fantastic action sequences that let both Heero and Wufei do what they do best, together.

This story begins at the start of the war, continues throughout the series, and while the relationship does effectively wipe out the effects of the movie, the story continues beyond that point in canon.  The story has violent missions, including undercover work.  While most of the skeevy-er undercover work is done by other pilots, it's still a part of the story, and your mileage may vary. If you don't like reading violence, DON'T read this story.

The Arrangement is best found on the website. It's near the top of the page, and as there's 40+ chapters including epilogues, you'll have plenty to read!

Review:
Bonus rec! This is just a cute little slice-of-life story for Luffy's crew. They goof around, in in-character ways, and a surprising secret of one character is revealed. Some serious topics surface, but they don't linger, and the humor rebounds.

It's well worth the time to read it. The reactions of the crew to the revealed secret were great. Plus, for anyone who wants a brief primer on how the characters interact before diving into the fandom, this little fic will serve admirably.
