Road Trip by Sunhawk (PG-13)
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Pairing: Gen or Heero/Duo (1x2x1) If you squint
Length: Long
Author on LJ: Sunhawk
Author Website: RaygunWorks ... also called A Little Piece of Gundam Wing
Why this must be read: Presenting Thelma and Louise on crack, the first of a long, on-going series (with 15+ stories so far - no, really 15), Road Trip stands by itself as an inventive intro to the GW world and a great character piece for one Duo Maxwell. Often in GW fanfic, Duo is the 'girl'. He has long hair and is slight, so he obviously must be clingy, weepy, oh, 'save me, obi-wan' -- ahem, needless to say, Sunhawk does nothing of the sort. In Road Trip, this is the street rat who clawed his way out of damnation to become a Gundam pilot, holds his own against Alliance/OZ forces, and calls his gundam Deathscythe and/or Shinigami (God of Death). He's everything the anime hints at and is often ignored in fandom. Along the way, the reader gets great insight on what was probably happening between episodes as no one fights those kind of battles without injuries.
Fasten your seatbelts, don't disturb Heero, and get this Road Trip going.
And, Naruto recs are coming ... I just forgot to check before posting my previous rec so this is my make-up. Enjoy!
