A Grudging Seduction by Bane's Desire (R)
Fandom: GUNDAM WING
Pairing: Heero/Duo, Trowa/Quatre
Length: ~92,000 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Fanfic.net
Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: Having unhappily accepted a long term mission involving Heero, Duo sets out to accomplish it.
The thing I really like about this story is how Bane portrays Heero's and Duo's relationship, how it started and progressed. So many stories start them out as lusting after each other, loving each other, and what not. Yet, this one starts out with straight guys mission-ed into a romance by crafty docs and what blossoms is a deeply loving relationship that is built on mutual respect and friendship. It's a novel approach in GW fandom and for that alone this story deserves a mention. But that's not all that's there to recommend this story. There's the caring friendship with the other pilots, the fight for survival during missions, finding oneself as old perceptions are challenged in new circumstances, and wonderful characterizations of our two main guys that just breath with life and depth. While there are some clichés' in this story that make me pause a few times (like the portrayal of Relena), it's still a story that has stood the test of time for me and still remains one of my quintessential 1x2 stories.
