NEW Haze NEW
Amber Tinted
Quatre spends a night with a drunk Duo, without knowing what the future will bring them.
Oneshot
2+4, melancholy sap
Unsappy sap at its best. The atmosphere felt like it should feel for two gundam pilots on Peacemillion. I have read a lot of Quatre/Duo relationship fics during my life, about frienship, brotherhood and love. But this one held that little extra something that caught my interest. Really, really great work, Haze.
Star Crossed
Duo is standing by a grave.
Oneshot
1+2, deathfic, angst
I do not normally read deathfics. Heck, most people do not normally read deathfics. Yet I am rec-ing this one. Why? To be completely honest, I am not sure what made this deathfic so much better than others. But I guess it's just Haze's way of writing beautiful melancholy that captures me. Does such a thing as beautiful melancholy exist? In this case, apparently.
Iniquity

Ringu
Teenagers are found dead, with their faces contorted in horror. The only clue seems to be a mysterious video tape that is supposed to kill the watcher. Two Preventer agents are have the orders to look into it.

5 parts, WIP
1x2, horror, AU, supernatural, creepy...
Based on 'Ringu' (the movie), 'The Ring' and the books by Kôji Suzuki.
I desperately want an update on this fic because I *need* to know what's going to happen. I have now seen 'Ringu' but when I started this thing, I was totally clueless. I like the way Duo is portrayed.. how it's written, how.. Okay, I like everything. I love horror and admire authors who make me feel scared. The way Heero and Duo acts together is cool and I want to see how they are going to get together. I'm also very curious about how much it is going to follow the movies and the books. Is it going to end like 'Ringu'? Maybe I should also add that 'Ringu' is one of the best movies I've ever seen. *grin*
Jei
Kyuuketsuki Duo
A long saga about Duo how becomes the guadian and finds his own in a certain ex. shinma.
92 parts
1+2, 5+M, AU, supernatural, angst, kinda fusion with Kyuuketsuki Miyu
I've fallen for this fic. Badly. I began with the TV-series for some reason I can't really remember but when I found how good it was, I went back and read 'The Beginning' too. The langue in this story is beautiful and the story interesting and unusual. That's one of the things I like about Jei, nothing is ever clicheéd or too cheesy. The stories are moving nicely, angsty sometimes and sometimes funny. (See Interludes). The relationship between Duo and Heero is beautiful, just like in MoH, and I've come to love Wufei's and Meiran's almost as much. They are so angsty together. (I'm mostly thinking about The Movie). Anyway, this is a nice and unusual AU fiction. Man, and I do so feel like I'm advertising for something right now.
The Best Laid Plans Heero moves to a new town and meets a clerk in a shop who talks too much.
Long oneshot
1+2, 3+4, AU, sap, fluff, kinda PWP-ish. (without sex)
This is a nice example of what makes me absolutely love a fan fiction. Slowly developing relationships, actual conversations between the main character before they have sex (and trust me, that is one thing becoming rare these days) + random cuteness all over. Jei has once again managed to write a Heero I absolutely love and adore and the Grumpy Bear is hilarious and cute. (Read the fic and you'll understand.) This fic was written for Nitid's AU novella challenge.
Moments of Haven
A fluffy after-war series that proves that Duo and Heero can have a nice relationship.
42 stories/parts
1+2, fluff, sap, sometimes Duo/Heero POVs. It is mostly written in 3rd person POV though.
It amazes me how long it took me before I finally decided to read this story. I think it was because I disliked the first part back then (though I like it now). I love how Heero is written in this story and how he relaxes more and more through the series, in a totally adorable way. The relationship between Duo and him is also very cute and as Jei says: 'healthy'. There's a strong bond between them, not just mere 'lust', and I have sighed dreamily more than once while reading this. Maybe I should also add that I was very nervous about . . . RL stuff when I read the first half of the fic and when I finally *had* to go to bed, I wasn't worried or nervous at all. I was too wrapped up in a cozy feeling that only good 1+2 fluff can ever give me. I'll have to thank Jei for making me feel better. What also got me hooked was Jei's style of writing is. . . just everything. It is amusing when it needs to be, romantic when it needs to be, angsty when it needs to be and fluffy when it needs to be. And together, it makes a perfect mix I'll love for the rest of my life ~_^ Yes, I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true!
Karen
Fishing on the Moon A piece about Trowa and Duo pondering about . . . stuff together.
Oneshot
1x2, 3x4, fluff, sap,
You know, there are some fics you read and BAM! you know you love it and always will. Then, there are fics you read, don't like at first but somewhere along in the adventures, you fall into each character's personality and the authors way of describing things and you get stuck before you've realized it youself. Then there are those fics that you read, and think 'Very Nice' and then goes away to read something else. But every day, or night after that, you'll suddenly remember that certain story and think about it with special fondness. It might take weeks, or months before you realize that the story sucked you in, without you realizing it and I think that those stories are some of the best. The idea of that certain story was something that made you remember in the middle of the hasty internet world that is the GW fandom. And Karen's 'Fishing on the Moon' is exactly like that. And honestly, who can't love the cuteness the Trowa/Duo friendship always bring?
Murder Saga
A saga about someone, or maybe something, that wants one of the pilots.
3 stories, one in progress. Lots of parts ^_^
3x4, 1x2, 1xR, 5xS, Quatre POV, angst, supenatural, sarcasm etc.
What can I say? G.R.E.A.T !!! Do I have to spell it again? I love what Karen has done with the pilots and the other characters, Duo's, Quatre's and Wufei's relationship is wonderful and touching! (makes me feel all cozy inside) The fact that this story is written in Quatre's POV scared me away for a long time (he's not exactly my fave pilot), but don't make the same mistake as I did! Quate's is really sarcastic in this story and it is amusing to read. The love triangle between Heero, Duo and Relena was very interesting to read! There is a perfect amount of angst in this, enough to make you want to cry, but not enough to be boring, something that is a great plus too.
KatiKat
To Understand
Quatre walks in on Heero and Duo doing... something...
Oneshot
1x2, Quatre POV. mention of BDSM
I like this story because of its view on BDSM. The surprise, shock and embarrassment that Quatre feels is very nicely written, and the way he feels about the whole thing too (somehow, that didn't sound right). This story feels unusual, but is still very nice.
Katsu
Acherontia Atropos + sequel
Are vampires really what we've always believed? What is true in these stories?
19 parts
1+2, 3+4, Duo POV, angst, drama, supernatural
I guess that in a way, you can thank Katsu-dono for that this site was ever made, since this was the story that hauled me into the GW, 1x2 and yaoi fandom. I stumbled upon this story and read it even before I knew anything about Gundam Wing (more than the mobile suit part, will say) and it kept me interested. This is also the story that made me a hardcore 1x2, Duo fan, heck, even shounen ai-fan! It is really a great fan fiction, and Duo's POV is wonderfully written, in an IC way. He's sarcastic, fun and overall a great guy. Katsu's way of writing the characters is the best!
Keara
Young Hearts
What if the doctors survived the war and decided to clone the people meaningful to the war?
27 parts, WIP
1x2, 3x4, 5xR, sap, angst, drama, romance, chibi-cuteness
Awww, this story is so cute! Definitely-very-mega-cute-and-did-I-mention-cute?-cute. I think that would describe this story enough, but I'll write more for the sake of it. Take Duo's and Heero's relationship for example. They are friends, but not lovers when the story starts and their relationship grows into more and more as the story develop. And seeing Duo with the youngsters makes me want to have him as father.
Kel
Daddy Dearest
+ sequel
A story about what could have forced Duo to end up on the streets. Didn't he have a family?
Two oneshots
1+2, 3+4, OCx2 angst, NCS
This was supposed to be a trilogy, but I have only found two parts so I guess Kel never wrote anything more on it. However, I like the way it ended and I don't think it really needs a continuation. A word of warning: this story is sad. Really sad. It made me end up half crying. *sniff* And the fact that I listened to the songs didn't make it better at all. (Though maybe I should add that this story does not end with death or anything like that. It is just sad, but the ending is good. In a way.)
Koyote
Damnation
+sequel
Three very unlikely people find comfort in each other when they are as most alone
18 parts
6+2+D, slight 5x4 and 1x3, drama, supernatural
This has to be the strangest pairing in a fic that I'll ever rec! Still I'm amazed of how great it seems to work! Do not run away because of the pairing , you'll miss a wonderful read! Dorothy and Zechs are written in a cool way that I totally like. I love Dorothy but it's hard to find fics where I actually like how she is written, so it is certainly a plus in this fic. And yes, there's a reason to why I didn't put romance as one of the categories, since the amount of romance is very low. This story is only about how they befriend each other, though in the sequel, there seem to be more romantic themes.
Kracken
Soldier Boys
A dark Shinigami tale with lots of Duo/other pilots interaction.
18 parts (WIP)
1x2, 3x4, 5xS, dark (like already stated), angst, excellent characterizations
I read the first part when it was posted on Kracken's ml and instantly fell in love with the series, even though I hadn't read the following parts yet. I decided to wait and see if it continued being this good before rec-ing it, but finally had to rec it though only eleven parts are out yet. A dark Shinigami tale is a great way of describing it all, in my opinion. The characterizations are wonderful and the story reminds me of what I wanted to write when I started Rituals, but obviously, I wasn't as sucessful as Kracken. Duo is great in this story, not the annoying, never-stop-talking fool people always write him as. (Not that I really hate him like that, but come on guys, you know he doesn't act like that in the series.) He is serious, dedicated to his cause and still manage to keep a personality. I love you Kracken. *worships her* Another thing worth mentioning is the relationship between Duo and Heero. After I began reading more and more alternate pairings, this was a lovely little oasis of 1x2ness. (It is, and will always be, my favourite pairing after all.) How can two good gundam pilots be so sweetly awkward together? That adorable sweet awkwardness that makes the reader swoon? And still manage not to be too cheesy?
Shinigami's Lover
A series about how Duo and Heero deals with their relationship, through the hardships of war and shadows of the past.
3 series
1x2 (2x1) 3x4, angst, angst, angst and even a little more angst. . .
How come it took me so long to read this wonderful series? Don't ask me because I don't have an answer. The way Duo struggles to love and trust even though his own heart has a hard time doing it is heartbreaking and sad. The stories, as well as the characters are written in an original way that took me a while to enjoy because they were so unusual, but when I finally did, I totally fell in love with the series. But I still feel that the first series was best out of them all, even though the second and third arcs are good too.

Even in War
Duo and Quatre talks about a certain, mission-driven pilot and realizes that love can be needed even in war.

Oneshot
1+2 , Duo, Quatre and Heero centric
This is Kracken's entry in the 'Moments of Rapture's, Duo and Heero goes on a date-contest' and I can say that I voted on this story - heck - I even fell in love with it! I can freely say that Kracken has to be one of my favourite writers ever, because I really, really love all of her stories, even those that aren't about Gundam Wing. If this hadn't been a Gundam Wing site, then I would probably also rec Kracken's FAKE-fic 'After the Manga Arc' because it made me fall in love with Ryo and Dee. (I had never even *seen* FAKE for godness sake!) *realizes she has to say something about this story as well* Just read this, please. I know I sound like a silly, newly fallen in love school-girl but I really have fallen in love - with Kracken's fictions.
Lady M
Pretty in Pink
Heero's mission goes wrong, and he has a rather unfortunate . . . accident . . .
Oneshot
1x2, 3+4, humor, lime
Despite the title so does this fic nothing to do with crossdressing, nor girly pilots. Like the summary says so it is Heero's accident that is the main thing. And what an accident then. Poor, poor Heero. It was a long time ago I laughed as much as I did when I read this story.
Lasha Lee
Sunday Paper
A piece about Heero's thoughts, relationship and life together with Duo.
Oneshot
1x2, PWP, Heero POV, sap, waff, fluff
Oh, kawaii! Heero's written like a really great guy in this piece, and he is still very, very IC (*snort* Though he usually is too, but you get what I mean. . . ) His POV written in a way that really captured me, and his descriptions of Duo and life in general was funny somehow. Loved it!
Lil Boof
Dinner with Friends
Quatre haves a meeting with Duo some years after the war, but something about the braided youth is very odd. . .
Oneshot
Squick, angst, scary
I thought this fic was really, really scary, and not to say sad. *sniff*. I should have put up more warnings and categories, but the mild confusion in the beginning is part of the fun and I didn't want to spoil it. This reminded me of a movie I saw with school once, a Swedish one. Not at all in the story-line, happenings or so, it's just the parts with Duo talking to 'insert person after having read the fic' that made me feel exactly like when I saw the movie. The story is so original that I couldn't get it out of my head, and even after coming over the unusual parts, I still couldn't forget about it. My solution - rec it! This was really a nice story, and very well written. And. . . scary, and heart-breaking.
NEW Link Worshiper NEW
Coming Through The Rye
Heero realizes some mistakes and suffers because of it - but can that mysterious someone he meets make it all better?
20 parts
1x2x1, romance, angst, mention of suicide attempts
Most people who know me knows I really prefer Duo angst above all. I don't know else to say than that this is an exception. The Heero angst is darn heavy in Rye and a certain chapter (fourteen, mind you) made me just stare at the computer screen and wish I could just reach in and hug Heero - protect him from reality. But do not, by any means, get me wrong. Heero is not at all weak. He is just depressed and in desperate need of love.
Lil Tin Flower Red Stitches & A Rain Soaked Angel
Sometimes, love and hate walk hand in hand. Sometimes, love causes hate.
12 parts
1x2x1, romance, angst
How can a story be sappy and angsty, stereotyped and not, all at the same time? I think this story has some of the most touching 1x2 moments I have read in a long time. And Link has a very good taste in music ~_^
I'm not sure how to describe this fic, but it had that gut-reaction and satisfied feeling at the end that makes you feel you had a swelling ballon of happiness inside your chest. It's that pleasant feeling that comes only with really, really good stories.
Lorena Manuel
Picaresque
Trowa, in desperate need for money, takes a job that his best friend Duo offers. This turns out to be a long road of trouble, adventures and friendship.
18 parts
3+4, 1+2+1, OFC+3, R+1, humor, romance, angst
Whoa. Just . . . whoa. (In a good way, of course.) You know what always amazes me in this fandom? It is the fact that always when you feel that 'oh god, I've read everything that's worthy to read - why can't anyone write anything good for a change. ?' then you'll suddenly find something nice by an author you really like. I hadn't visited Loreena's site for a long time since she moved on from the GW fandom, but then I realized I never really read everything by her. (I am not a very great fan on 3+4, so there you got a reason.) Anyway, I realized that though I still prefer fictions with Duo in it, I can still like fictions without him as a main character.. Duo's the side-kick in here, but such an adorable sidekick he is. ^_^ And he *does* get a lot of screen time, though not as much or Trowa. And to change subject away from Duo; Loreena is one of very few authors that make me enjoy the 3+4 pairing..
Bildungsroman
A tale about Quatre's time at a Christian school together with his rather unusual but fun (and smart) friends.
lots of stories, lots of parts
3x4 2x1x2 5+OMC, humor, slight angst, romance
Jesus. . . (pun intended) this is a wonderful fic! Lorena has such a great sense of humor and I laughed my way through it. One of the only fics I like where a pairing with Duo isn't in focus. Also, make sure that you check out the fanarts for this arc! ^_^
It's too bad that Lorena has now left the fandom. *sigh*
Note: You shouldn't eat anything while reading, since the risk of choking to death on it while laughing is too big. I'd also recommend you to sit down in a steady position so you won't fall off your chair in attempts to repress your giggles.
Lyssira

Night on Peacemillion
+Dawn on Peacemillion
A Heero/Duo interaction as they meet each other on the Peacemillion, preparing for the final battles.

2 oneshots
1x2x1, romance, angst
This story felt so canon it made me feel strangely light and happy inside. Characters, reaction and the timeline seem to fit in with everything perfectly. One of my favourite scenes are when Wufei arrives to Peacemillion and what he says and thinks. I love the way Lyssira wrote him. The fact that nothing is taken for granted is also likeable together with the other guys cluelessness (excuse a poor Swedish girl's grammar, but is that a word, really?) and it makes a lovely story.
Duo Maxwell's Guide to Surviving Highschool + sequel
What kind of materials do you need in High School? What kind of transportation? Here's the answer in Shinigami's own guide!
Oneshots
1+2, G, humor, list, slight Relena-bashing
*snicker, snort* Just what it says, what do you actually need in High School? You'll find that Duo's needs are quite...different from a normal student's...

In the sequel, you can read about what Heero needs, and also what he doesn't need. Like with the prequel, a highly amusing read for anyone who values a good laugh.
Lys Ap Adin
Calendar Boy
Heero is given a kinky calendar with pictures of a certain braided boy as a Christmas gift from a co. worker...
Oneshot
1x2, mention of possible future 3x4, humor, fluff, surprise ending
This story won the "A little piece of Gundam Wing fan fiction contest 2002" in the fluff-category. I love it! *snicker* The surprise ending is also quite cool. *another snicker*
KC
Meow Miao
Wufei and Duo both decides to test a Neko-pill, to see if it affects their subjects of attention like if should. It has. . . unexpected ways of working. . .
Oneshot
1+2, 3+5+4, humor, fluff, cute
Awwww! What can I say? Cute, fun and cute again. I like a lot of KC's works but this is in my opinion the best. People may disagree and say that her Willing Slave-series is the best, and I *can* admit that I like that saga but... this story is too cute for words!
Madamhydra
Maxwell's Demon
What if Relena was actually right for once?
6 parts
1x2, a dark, romantic comedy, Relena-bashing
This was one of the earlier fan fictions I read in the fandom and definitely one of those that told me it was worth to continue reading 1x2s. Therefore, this story feels classical for me, and I have good memories from it. The humor is hilarious, the sad parts are just that; sad, and the romantic places; cute. This story is definitely worth to read, so go and do that now. If you already have, read it again because it won't hurt you. I've done it a lot of times. ^_^
Mel and Christy
Reunion
+ sequel
Wufei and Duo makes a mistake after the war and Duo disappears. When he is finally found, he has changed.
19 parts in the first story, 17 in the incomplete sequel + a couple of sidestories by other authors.
5+2, 1+R, 3+4, angst, sap, cute characterizations
I never thought I would rec another 5+2 story, but it was after reading this I realized that any pairing is a possibility when the author and story is good. I also think this is the story that opened my eyes to see Lady Une in a brighter light. Wufei is very cute in this fic, especially when he is stressed and worried about Duo, and our favourite braid boy is completely adorable. When the angst feels heavy, there's always a well-placed moment of fluff or sap. Mel and Christy can always give you a good cry as well as laugh, in the same story and somehow, their writing can always cause the most funny mental images.
Mercedes
Menagerie
Relena visits her brother Milliardo's friend Noin and her five pets.
Oneshot
animal-ized-pilots, cuteness, fluff, humor, PWP (without lemon)
Very cute fic of the five pilots as animals, but something else than the stereotyphical cats. Something that got me was Duo's character as a labrador mix, because he certainly acts like one, but with fun comments that only the animals can hear. I have two dogs, and they both act pretty much like Duo does, hopefully minus the comments.
Mitsugi
Bridlewood Manor
A long saga about the life in a big manor in London during the early twentieth century.
90+ parts, work in progress
1+2, 3+4, 5+H, romance, drama, humor, fluff, cute, never ending WIP
You didn't think I would have a rec-page and *not* rec this story, did you? It's famous, man! One of the best works in all times! Mitsugi-sama is just such a great author, and updates regularly with about two weeks interval. If you haven't read this story yet, where have you been the last year? The way this fiction is written is. . . 'cozy' and makes you feel all sappy inside, as well as happy. (whoa, it's a rhyme! *grins stupidly*) Anyway, since this is one of the best things in the fandom, why not get on and read it already? Duo is adorable in this fan fiction. (just thought you wanted to know.)
Dating Service Questionnaire
The guys visits a dating service...
Oneshot
1x2 3x4 5xS, humor...
"This is just the sort of thing I don't want falling into the hands of my enemies. " - Heero, from said story. And jesus christ, he is right, both about the subject in the story as well as the story itself. I can just imagine Une sitting in an OZ base watching a recording of this conversation . . .
MooMooMilk
Don't Close Your Eyes
The pilots are living in a house currently, during a Preventer-mission, but something.. something is after one of them.
3 parts, in progress
1x2, 3x4, supernatural, horror, romance, creepy..
I was hesitant to rec this fic because of its status..3 parts and unfinished. However, MooMooMilk has said that there'll be a continuation, I just wonder when. The story is interesting, and the characterizations too. And the happenings are just..creepy...
