Touch the World by Jei (NC-17)
Fandon: GUNDAM WING (fandom summary)
Pairing: Heero/Duo
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: the turnip patch
Why this must be read: Because it's long, well-written, and darkly funny. After a few uneventful, meaningless years of acquiescence to the new government's plan for his life, a couple of unexpected events propel Heero back into action.
Touch the World is one of the fandom's best-paced stories, and its plot fits well into GW canon, with various factions and individuals attempting to carry out their conflicting and labyrinthine agendas.
His body remembered what he used to be, even if his mind was no longer there. It picked up on the sound of heels clucking against the pavement behind him, noting the presence of a person, even if he couldn't bring himself to be concerned. So what if it could be a hostile presence? Let it come and put an end to this.
He was let down when a woman walked past him, coat wrapped tightly around her as she hustled by. The night cycle had fallen; maybe she was on her way out to a late dinner. He himself lacked much of an appetite these days, and he suddenly envied her ability to enjoy a good meal. A humorless smile rose to his lips. He wasn't dead yet, it seemed, if he could still feel that.
The street went dead and empty again before another pair of shoes scuffed the sidewalk behind him, and he moved to the left to leave the person plenty of room to pass this time. He should have moved right, towards the open street. Coming up on his left was an alley, and into that alley he was suddenly shoved.
