Curse you, Heero. CURSE YOU.

I can't find my Endless Waltz DVD, I'm getting vague GW bunnies again (nothing definite enough to write with, but enough to make me distracted), and I don't want to have to rewatch the whole series again because I'm pretty sure huge chunks of it would bore me, but there's something telling me "hey, maybe you can kind of, you know, watch it with new eyes. Since falling into a fandom before you watched the show wasn't the best way to end up unbiased and unconfused on the timeline and all that."

I think I want to read GW fic again. Except, I still don't care about much of it. Just about Heero. I want more Heero. And possibly Wufei. Mayyyybe Duo if he's not handled like a hyperactive, girly idiot savant. And action/adventure/politics/gritty badassness. And preferably no AUs.

Also possibly AI gundams, newtypes, life in the colonies and other stuff like that.

And cloning. Clones are sexy.

No, I'm not difficult at all. -__-;;

Which reminds me that I still need to get my hands on Warchild by Karin Lowachee, because not only is it rumored to be good, but the main character is apparently the second coming of Heero Yuy and ahhhhhh I wantses it, preciousssssss. I'm pondering the merits of proposing a trade-off -- a picture for a book -- but I've got to think of the logistics first. (namely, is my laziness going to end up making the poor commissioner wait six months or more for their pic. It's a very distinct possibility. I'm notoriously unreliable like that. ~__~ Also I would hope no one familiar with my pictures would be silly enough to hope for a real background. XD)

But anyway. Anyone got some good, IC, Heero-centric plotfic to read that's recent enough I wouldn't have read it? (If it's more recent than Maldoror's last GW fic, I've probably read it...)

just out of curiosity and if you have gotten the change to read it, how did you find warchild to be? i was just scrolling through some of your old fic entries and came across your post, and thought i'd also give lowachee's books a try--and liek OMG THANKIES SO MUCHIES for this post!!!!!

lowachee now pwns my soul (jos, i know you're heero in disguise; did you fall through a dimensional rift? XD)

YESYES i found an e-book link for the first two and eeeeeeee. I haven't finished the second one yet but homg sohappy.. *flails*

the second one has a different tone to it (traumatized rich boy instead of child soldier...), but lowachee still makes ryan a compelling character study as he struggles with a dysfunctional, absent (in more ways than one) family; i especially love how she handles the flashback scene ryan has during his first leap (is that the term she uses..?) on Mac. the pace for ryan's road to maturity felt lacking somehow (but that's just me!), but really, the entire book is well worth the read! i hope you'll enjoy it as much as the first and as much as i did. =)...i'm hunting the third book now...if you don't mind, do you happen to know where i might find an e-book of cagebird? my library system only has the first 2 books and i'd rather not have to buy the third book when i don't have the first two...

(ironically enough, the impressions i'm getting of yuri from the summary/reviews is of duo--my god, first heero, and now duuuooo?? lowachee, u must definately be a closet gw fan!)

Yeah, the second one hits my buttons a little less. I'm not as far as the first leap, though, I don't think. XD Haven't started to read it again.

I don't have the third book, sadly. Much emo ensues. ;____;

(... gghhk i need this book. neeeeed.)
