Blast from the past.

I am highly, highly amused. And nostalgic.

Once upon a time, before Rhien ever knew what fandom was, really, she watched a series of anime called Gundam Wing with her husband. Now, we are not huge anime buffs. For the most part, we find them amusing and sort of the same. But the husband is a HUMUNGUOUS ROBOTECH GEEK OMG! Like, you have no idea. His Robotech love might even surpass his Transformers love, and that is almost not possible. Almost. So, when a friend said "you have to watch these" and lent us Gundam Wing, we watched. And laughed, and got confused, and laughed some more, and got more confused, and overall decided that every character on the show was freaking crazy and/or stupid, but that was part of the crack, you see. We watched it all the way to the end. Mark enjoyed the gundams and the battles, I enjoyed how hot Zechs was, and we both laughed at many of the lines and enjoyed the characters. (Duo, if memory serves, had the best lines. He was also pretty good at calling the other characters on their batshit craziness.)

I haven't thought of GW in years. YEARS. And then I recently friended rachelmanija, and it turns out she and one of her f-listers are watching it. Oh, the memories their entries have called up. It almost makes me want to find the series and rewatch them all. Oh, the angst! The unending, overly dramatic, torturous angst! It truly made the series cracktastic.

Plus, in case I didn't mention it, Zechs was hot. HOT. For, you know, an anime character. And he and Noin had some sort of doomed, starcrossed love that wasn't really doomed or starcrossed, yet managed to be just as angst filled.

*sigh*

Somewhere, I am almost embarrassed to admit, there is fic. Hmmm. I wonder where? That's like....two computers ago, at least. I wonder if I still have it on disc.

Meanwhile, I will live vicariously through the recaps of others. Wish I could remember some of Duo's better lines.

More GW

OMG, you guys, I found it.

Yes, I did write Gundam Wing fic of the Zechs/Noin variety.  It is...wow.  Okay, so it was years ago.  Like...probably close to ten years ago when I wrote this.  It is embarrassing in some parts.  Just keep that in mind, kay?  Not the fic I might have written today, were I to do it again.  But man, I'd forgotten I ever wrote this!  Without this, Sydney and Sark might never have been written by me.  I could edit it, but at this late date, why?  I don't remember the series well enough to trust my judgment now, anyway. 

Er...and this is set after the series and Endless Waltz, AU future fic.  And in case it's needed, the usual rating warning 'M' for mature.  From the bowels of old writing files:

( Untitled Zechs Merquise/Lucrezia Noin fic )

I should totally make a Zechs icon.
