Gundam wing meme ficlets

As I promised yesterday here are the various ficlets I've written for various memes and challenges which have until now remained buried in the comments of random posts. Some of you will have seen some of these before but there should be something unseen for just about anyone.

The first meme was to write letters asking for favours between characters:


darthanne asked for Quatre asking Trowa to bail him and Duo out of jail

Trowa,

Things got rather out of hand again last night. I'm beginning to think you are right and we are cursed. I need you to post bail for Duo and me, there's enough cash in the bedroom safe to cover bail but I'll need to wire the cost of the bridge we destroyed when I get out. I'll explain everything when I see you

All my love
Quatre

p.s T, please don't tell Heero, I'll owe you one. Oh and you might need to rescue the maguanacs from the bathroom they are hiding in because of the tiger in the living room. Duo

***
lil_1337 asked for Wufei challenging Methos to a duel for charity.

Dr Matthews,

I have been asked to participate in an exhibition for the war recovery foundation. In preparation I offer you a formal challenge: live blades, 14:00 hrs at the new Brussels peace centre, first to three points match. This should give us a chance for a rematch of our interrupted duel last year. I have informed Dr. Po, Colonel Une and Ms. Peacecraft/Darlian of your participation they are looking forward to seeing you there.

Chang Wufei

***********************************************
The second meme was to pick a character and I give three facts from my head canon about them.

snakewhissperer asked for Trowa

1. Trowa never used to believe in love at first sight, or in fact love at all (at least not for himself). Until half way through the war when he finally realised he had been in love since the first time he laid eyes on Quatre.

2. Trowa still has occasional nightmares about drifting in space. He explains them away vaguely when Quatre asks and Quatre has never let on he knows what they are about.

3. Trowa doesn't like Catherine's boyfriend, and quite enjoyed the colour the man went when Trowa asked him to take very good care of his sister.


**************************
A meme for a letter between two characters

Sharona1x2 asked for the The doctor writing to Treize

A note found in the wreakage of the Epyon system at the start of AC 197:

You have created an interesting AI neural interface, you should be aware that it will drive any human user totally insane if used in combat. Reconfigure it to predict weather patterns or aid colony design and it might be useful.

The Doctor.

******************************
This final meme was to write a snippet for different fandoms after being given a title.

Orehime supplied the title "The day everything got worse"


Heero watched the scientist, assessing his strange prosthesis; it was inefficient but could be used as a weapon. Dr J’s proposition was interesting and without Odin it was difficult for someone his age to travel without drawing attention. He nodded his agreement he would let the engineer train him to pilot the Gundam.

Thank you for posting these. There were a couple I hadn't seen before.

It figures that the Doctor would have his finger on the pulse re Epyon.

Oh good :0) glad some of them are new.

The doctor is always pretty quick to go poking around in strange technology and pretty fast to figure it out too, I figure the Epyon/zero system would intrigue him and he wouldn't approve :-).

Awesome pieces! Love the Wufei and Methos one almost as much as the 3 facts one.

Wufei never gets enough love. It's funny because he's a fantastic character, but I guess because he doesn't fit into the two favourite pairings he tends to get overlooked.

Yes he is and he's no where near the sexist some people think he is. It doesn't fit the cultural background, if you look into it.

I feel for the guy sometimes.

He's great to write too, I always find the dialogue flows easier with Wufei around (but for some reason 3x4 has hijacked my gundam wing muse and everything I write for GW recently wants to become a Quatre/Trowa scene).

It's easy to mistake Wufei's attitude for sexism but he's really just preoccupied with the idea of meeting strength with strength.

[identity profile] snakewhissperer.livejournal.com 2010-03-01 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not only that, but he actually ends up protecting and honouring women in the series. So its not that he considers them 'less'. My take on it is that he's trying to protect them with a view they shouldn't be in wars as they are needed to keep country and families going. But that's just my take on it.

Oh definitely agreed, and when you think of his own personal history it's completely understandable that he would want to protect them. Though I think he seems to gradually come to accept they may have a place on the battlefield too. Sally helps him a lot I think, both with inspiring him and simply by being a strong competent woman who survives.

[identity profile] snakewhissperer.livejournal.com 2010-03-01 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspect the surviving part is key to it. Then again, if you look at her as a character, she's not shown a huge amount but you can infer a lot of background simply by being who she is - a doctor at that young age, and a skilled fighter. Says something about htat world too.

Sally's probably got a fantastic backstory lurking in her past. She and Catherine are I think the only gundam girls I actually like throughout the entire series. (Not that I don't like the other girls, at least occasionally, but they all have annoying moments that seem to undermine their characters).

[identity profile] snakewhissperer.livejournal.com 2010-03-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I figure she has indeed. She'd have to just to be able to get htrough medschool 10 years early.

I never had much time for Hilde personally - she's a bit of a turncoat

I find Hilde ultimately eminently forgettable and definitely a little too easily led, she decides to join Oz because of what she's been told and then within 5 minutes of meeting him she's following Duo.

Personally I find Relena sets my teeth on edge, she's pretty spoiled in the beginning and I'm afraid my opinion was set before she started to grow up and change during the series (actually she goes through a sort of saintly not very prractical phase in the middle which irritates me too) so while she's probably a strong and admirable character by the end she has annoyed me for too long before that for me to actually like her. It's a shame because I think she could be quite awesome if I was able to ignore the earlier episodes.

They were all really good, but I'm still giggling over the first one. Quatre and Duo getting in trouble together is one of my favorite plots, ever! I don't know which intrigues me more, the destroyed bridge or the tiger in the living room. ^_________^

There's definitely an unwritten fic in that night before. I think I had watched the hangover (a film I went to under protest but to my surprise found hilarious) a few days before writing that particular one and was inspired. As for blowing up a bridge well waht do you expect when you mix gundam pilots and alcohol.

It's probably just as well they have Trowa to deal with it, he's used to big cats (though apparenlty tigers are much more vicious and unpredicatable than lions).

Interesting. I didn't know that.
