Why this must be read: Because Maldoror is one of the best GW writers around, and this is her best romance.
When I recommended one of Maldoror's other stories earlier this month, someone mentioned The Arrangement, and while that story is, IMO, technically better than this one, Heero/Duo is my favourite pairing, and I have a soft spot for this story.
I love getting inside the pilots' heads, and Heero's mind in Whispers is an especially strange place to be. The story follows Heero and Duo's sexual relationship during the war, from its inception to the point where the other pilots find out about it. Most of the stories takes place during a series of missions. Of course I have my favourites among them---Three Percent 2: On/Off Switch is a pure delight, and Two Way Communication 3: Over & Out is surprising and touching---but they're all of pretty consistent quality.
Duo lunges at me, his right fist aiming a vicious blow at my throat.
My arm jerks up, blocks a blow that wasn't hard enough, has to be - A feint!
He's already spun into the momentum of his thrust, bringing his knee into the side of my hip with a thud. Another bruise.
/No permanent damage./
I twist and turn to the left, avoiding the lash of his leg straightening and sweeping towards my knee. He lagged a bit so I dodge it; an OZ soldier would have had the knee dislocated.
/No. Enemy soldier would have been -/
I swing in the direction I twisted, using my momentum, bringing my right hand in a chop to the neck-
/- disabled by the first-/
- which he dodges, my hand whistling over his right ear-
/-blow 02 landed on me./
- but my left hand has already darted forward to catch him on his right shoulder, spinning him around, out of control this time, staggering to catch his balance. He leaps back with the grace of a cat before I can take advantage of it and we face off once more.

I have to say, I'm more partial to 1X2 pairings as well, but the Heero/WuFei interaction in The Arrangement was just so great. At first I just couldn't imagine them together, but Maldoror is the master and makes it all so very believable.
