They were your ticket out of the sheltered and married life your parents had planned for you. And to be honest, you had always had a rebellious streak.

Your path had been laid out for you from an early age, allowing you to move into the higher circles of society and catch the attention of one of the most powerful men in the Earth Sphere.

As Treize’s mistress, you watch his rise to power and the disastrous war breaking out on Earth and in Space, putting your loyalty to the test. You are torn between your duty to His Excellency, and your unquellable lust for one of the top soldiers under his command. And when he rises to power in Outer Space, there is nothing you can do but stand back and watch them tear each other apart.

This is no game of hearts, but yours is at stake, and the consequences can be felt for years to come. Labeled as OZ’s whore, you struggle to find your way, only for things to fall apart around you again. But then there is still Zechs, and the undeniable way he makes you feel…

Trowa hardly recognizes Quatre. He has changed and seems to have problems. He reluctantly tells him about his bad luck, but Trowa doubts that it's just "bad luck" and decides to investigate.

May 9th Submissions

Lies by @phoenixrebirth88

The man kneeling before me looks submissive, but I know he is anything but that. He can destroy me. Beasts like him are meant to roam free.

Two hours left before I can release him into the wild again. Surely, I can survive that without giving in to this shameless desire to play another game of lies.

You had prepared for this self appointed mission for months. And damn it all to hell if Trowa Barton screwed it up.

But things were never easy when it came to him, were they?

**Update: The works mentioned in this post have since been taken down. The “message” was removed by AO3 because it was a violation of their TOS and it seems the author chose to remove their “opinions” piece.**

Despite the ongoing world crisis, I hope everyone is doing great as the year comes to a close and prepping for a safe holiday season.

I don’t really post here a lot, but I just wanted to talk about a problem that exists in every fandom and has recently come up for me in the BSD fandom. This problem is typically referred to as: toxic behavior, however, I sort of hate that term because it’s an umbrella term that encapsulates a wide array of behaviors that is purposefully vague so as to imply everything can be toxic, which means the definition changes depending upon the person, and ends up getting thrown around to describe any behavior that a person dislikes. That said, most people can agree that the term ‘toxic behavior’ includes “shipper wars” and harassing people because of their “ship”.

Yesterday, a user on AO3 going by the penname E_C_arts posted a message titled “deer Soukoku fans” and giving it the not-innocuous summary “please we’re begging you, please stop”. Clicking through leads to a rather prime example of this particular flavor of toxic fandom behavior, guised as an attempt to defend those who were allegedly victims of this self-same behavior, also a lovely example of emotional manipulation.

Although what’s currently posted (and what I managed to screen shot below) may not seem terrible on first glance, if not a little cringey, and can be easy to agree with (don’t bully people that write for a ship you dislike), this was not their original message and has been edited since being posted and, and only after receiving the number of comments it did and which they’re now noting as “proving their point” – a point which they erased, thus manipulating perceptions. I wish I had gotten a screenshot of the original, but if you scroll through the comments, you can find some people that quoted it.

This person most definitely did open their “message” to Soukoku fans by literally telling them to “stop writing” for it. They claimed there was some unspecified AU (or maybe multiple unspecified AUs) that had been overwritten for, that it was overused, and not original. They went on to talk about how the abundance of soukoku content was turning off new fans to the series (don’t even know how that logics…) and bullying people from creating content for other ships, basing these irrational sentiments off some false claim that removing everything with the soukoku ship from the fandom would only leave behind a sad, inacccurate (and oddly specific) 305 posts.

Evidence of their now deleted perspective can be further seen in another post they made to AO3 a couple days before this ugly rant. Titled simply “My unpopular BSD opinions”, they didn’t manage to garner much attention and went mostly ignored because, well, it’s your opinions about the show and that’s whatever. Of course, when you click into it, the very first “opinion” shared, is that they hate Dazai x Chuuya. Okay, that’s an opinion everyone is entitled to, and that’s fine. You don’t like the popular ship, that’s…not exactly an unpopular opinion, there’s quite a number of people that don’t ship soukoku. No problem. Until, they go on to elaborate.

Despite the title of this piece being ‘their opinions’, they state as ‘fact’ that its confirmed that this is “not a thing”, so ‘please stop shipping them it doesn’t work, it’s way too overused for it to be “funny” anymore’ (I’m a little confused about this wording, because Shipping is Serious Business™, so…not sure there are too many soukoku shippers doing it because they think it’s hilarious or whatnot, in fact, most soukoku fics are tagged ‘angst’, which we all know, angst is very ‘haha, lol’…but whatevs). They then include the same sentiment they expanded on in their Dear John to soukoku fans and subsequently deleted: “Please stop, there are too many au’s with almost the exact same plot Chuuya and Dazai being together, its really difficult to find any non-Dazai x Chuuya au’s”.

On the surface, once again, there are some “truths” to this sentiment. DaiChuu is a popular ship and there is a disproportionate amount of soukoku ship fics on the fandom comparative to other ships (soukoku comes in at a whopping 10,000+ currently, with the next popular ship Aku/Atsushi sitting at a decidedly less 2500+). It’s really not that difficult to find non-DazaixChuuya fics, if you know how to use filters on AO3, but there are going to be less to read from when you filter it down, and depending on your ship, you may find yourself in a fic desert, and I can certainly understand why someone young and lacking in rational thought processes might want to blame the popular ship for this predicament.

The problem with this logic, and it permeates every fandom, not just BSD, is that the shippers sharing and loving their ship are not to blame for your lack of ship content. You just don’t have a popular ship. If all the people who love soukoku stopped creating content for it, as this person is ‘begging’ them to do, that’s not going to increase the amount of content for your ships, because the reason that content isn’t being created is because there aren’t enough shippers for it. So, the only way this person’s logic works, is if what this person is actually saying, isn’t that they want these people to stop creating content for the BSD fandom, they just want them to jump ship, stop creating content for soukoku and start creating content for their ships.

Any creator/fan is going to have a visceral reaction to that: who the fuck are you to tell me what to create? And for free, no less!

This moves us more towards a clearer definition of what is toxic fandom behavior. In short, its telling anyone how they should interact with or interpret their favorite content. I mean, even Word of God does not have this power. That’s because every single fan in a fandom is an individual human being. They are possessed of their own autonomy, and as a creator I know, that once you put something out into the world and give it over to others, you have little control over how people consume and feel about your work. You can tell them your intention, but that’s not going to sway them to interpret it that way, and that’s…just the way it works.

Now, the elephant in the room needs to be addressed. It’s easy for me to be ‘offended’ by this person’s post and not see their complaints because I am a soukoku fan. I’m also the target of this person’s rant, and one of those people this person is attempting to emotionally manipulate into writing for other ships in the fandom for which I have no preference. But I am capable of seeing the other side of this argument.

First, because I do have other fandoms in which I am part, and for which I have a rare-pair ship. For example, I am a Gundam Wing fan and a 2x5 (Duo/WuFei) shipper. I’ve posted two 2x5 fics on fanfiction.net. While 2x5 is not the rarest of rarepairs in the Gundam Wing fandom, it is significantly eclipsed (as are almost *all* ships in the fandom) by the 1x2 (Heero/Duo) ship. Do I hate 1x2 shippers for my lack of 2x5 content? No. I just appreciate what I’ve got all the more, and I’ll create content for it when I feel compelled, and I sure the fuck won’t implore 1x2 shippers to stop writing for their fave and write more for mine because I want more 2x5 – that’s sheer entitlement, right there, pure and simple. I also ship 3xD (Trowa/Dorothy) in Gundam Wing, which *is* the rarest of rarepairs – I think there’s only, like, two stories in existence that features this pair on the entirety of the internet. I’m also a RavenxMurphy (Murven) shipper in The 100 fandom and I do not hate Bellarke fans because…those people are scary and have canceled the show’s creator for not delivering on Bellarke, and in BSD, I ship Atsushi/Lucy (yes, I said it, they’re cute af and I hope Asagiri delivers on that ship). I also low-key ship Yosano/Ranpo (sorry, Ranpo/Poe shippers, I understand the appeal, I just think him and Yosano is sooo cute, please don’t kill me…), and I also ship Yosano with Kunikida – all of which are some of the rarest in the BSD fandom.

Second, because I have seen and called out shipping harassment in the BSD fandom, so I am well aware that this kind of thing exists – as it exists literally everywhere and in every flavor. Against soukoku shippers from antis and by soukoku shippers against shippers putting Dazai or Chuuya with any other characters and by soukoku shippers against other soukoku shippers that are, uh, “doing it wrong”. None of these is appropriate. You’re not fighting fire with fire if you’re an anti-attacking the popular ship, you’re just creating a bigger fire and burning the entire fandom down. You’re not defending your ship if you are a soukoku fan attacking non-soukoku fans, you’re just punching down by attacking a less popular ship. And top/bottom arguments aren’t just toxic, they’re also deeply entrenched in fetishization of same sex pairings through a forced heteronormative lens and is, kind of, sort of, actually homophobic in its basis (yes, I said it. It’s ignorant and homophobic and trying to argue with ‘personality/physical traits’ as evidence of who serves what position in the bedroom can be emotionally and mentally damaging to members of the LGBTQ community. Claiming that Chuuya should be bottom because he’s shorter/smaller, or that Dazai has ‘bottom energy’ because he’s more flamboyant and ‘feminine’ is straight up discrimination – a shorter guy can definitely be top, and a manly man can be bottom, it’s not a behavior based on perceived gendered traits, it is just a fucking preferred sexual position, and no, you are not ‘fixing it’ by purposely using positions for these characters that eschews the stereotypes either. Trying to justify positioning by personality/physical traits at all, in any way, shape, or form is just not okay – if it’s your preference, it’s your preference, no justification needed, just recognize that it is *your* preference and arguing what’s ‘right/wrong’ positioning is just plain wrong).

But this brings us to a different issue: bad actors and blaming a whole community for a ‘few rotten apples’. I could easily lump this one person in with everyone that does not ship soukoku and deem them all toxic, aggressive, entitled, bullies attempting to harass soukoku shippers off the platform. Or I could see them for what they are, individuals with individual motivations and drives and morals that also happen to share the same shipping preferences. Is it true to say that there are no soukoku fans that engage in the behaviors described by E_C_arts? No, there are definitely those that do, as there are antis that engage in that same behavior against soukoku fans. But this person also asserts that soukoku fans turning ‘every BSD post about soukoku’ is also a toxic behavior. To which I refer you back to one. This is how they engage with and interpret the work. Don’t yuck on someone else’s yum. People want to gush about how cute they thought soukoku were in an official art, or that they felt there was some hidden (or not so hidden) interaction between them that validates their ship, or their inspired to create soukoku content based on it, so what (for the record, it irks me too when people go ‘see it’s canon and Bones totally ships it’, because it’s unlikely, given BSDs genre, that any romantic relationship will be confirmed, soukoku notwithstanding). It is not, in fact, toxic to gush over it. Let them have their fun with it, let them enjoy their ship. Now, if you go and make a comment about liking the art for other reasons and they reply to you about “…but also soukoku”, then still, that’s not toxic, that’s just them enjoying the content the way that they enjoy it, so let them enjoy it, and you opened yourself to engagement without any qualifiers for the type of engagement you were soliciting, you can’t then backtrack and go ‘but I’m not a soukoku shipper, they should’ve been able to read my mind and known that, it’s totally toxic of them to share their personal reasons for loving the show in response to my sharing my love for the show’. But if you comment about another ship, and they reply to you “…ew, gross! It’s 100% soukoku” then yes, that’s toxic. A lot of people fail to make this distinction, that they are, maybe, merely being triggered and not actually harassed, by feeling like their ship isn’t being validated because they see another ship all over the place and everyone they engage with ships it.

It’s also toxic, to take an experience with one person and hold every soukoku shipper in existence responsible for that one person’s inappropriate behavior. The truth is, that bad actors amongst soukoku fans are not unique, not to the ship and not to the fandom and not even to fandom culture in general. Every group in existence everywhere has bad actors in it that, while the group disavows their behavior, they continue to be held accountable for those individuals and judged by them. For current events, look at how the BLM movement has been blamed for bad actors (many of whom were not actually BLM activists) that took advantage of the protests and started riots and chaos. A small percentage of people were involved in these behaviors, but the entire movement, despite speaking out against rioting, continues to take the blame for it. For me, that’s the root of toxicity. We need to start holding individuals accountable and stop blaming people who have no control over those individuals, because they share a few similar beliefs or interests. That’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But the shippers as a whole are not to blame for the actions of a few, and the reason that it feels that there are so many more soukoku fans that do this is because of volume, there are so many more soukoku fans. It’s basic math. If two percent of fans are these toxic kinds of shippers, then there’s going to be so many more of them in a larger population than a smaller one.

I try to call out toxic behavior, no matter if it’s my ship being lambasted or one of my fellow shippers doing the lambasting, whenever I see it, but the trouble is, I don’t typically go into fan content that isn’t for my ship and, thus, I don’t see it. The same goes for the vast majority of soukoku fans out there. We’re here for soukoku content, we’re seeking out soukoku content, and avoiding what isn’t soukoku content. But here is my offer to all of those who are outside of my ship. I like to argue. If someone is harassing you for having a non-soukoku ship, call me, let me know, I will argue with them for you. I will explain to them in no uncertain terms, and in many unpleasant ways, that they do not represent the soukoku shipping community and they are an embarrassment to us. Content for any and all ships is welcomed and encouraged within the fandom. Write, draw, contribute, be a part of the fandom and express yourself, please. If you are a soukoku shipper (or even if you’re not), and someone is harassing you about your top/bottom preference, call me, let me know, I will argue with them for you. I will explain to them why their justifications for which character should be top or bottom in a same sex pairing is grossly misrepresentative and exploitative of the LGBTQ community and rather disgusting. Do not assume that because we seem to remain silent on these types of harassment that it’s because we are in agreement with them, it is only because we haven’t seen them – why would we, we’re not going in those spaces that weren’t created for us. Ask the community for help, don’t attack the rest of us for the poor actions of a few that we were not even aware of. Let us help you in policing them, rather than assuming we don’t care. We are just too busy staying in our lanes, but if you need us, we are here. Majority of us want a clean, friendly, welcoming community for creators of all types as much as you do.

All of this aside, there are spaces and places for these debates and AO3 is not it. Posting this kind of message is actually a violation of AO3 TOS, constituting as harassment, which is defined on the AO3 TOS as “…any behavior that produces a generally hostile environment for its target…”( https://archiveofourown.org/tos#IV.G.). This general behavior also falls into the realm of another kind of toxic fandom behavior: hijacking a platform/tag for your own purposes that is a direct contradiction to its express usage (otherwise, known as trolling). AO3 is for posting fan-made content that contributes to a deeper understanding and expansion upon the original work. Using AO3 to attack people who are using AO3 for exactly what it is designed to be used for is an abuse of the platform. It’s not okay and invites similar content that will ultimately interfere with the original purpose of the platform. AO3 is for fan content, not for your own personal rants about other people in the community, please keep it that way

I do also want to note, that this person choosing to edit their post after receiving the justified ire from fans (notably soukoku and non-soukoku fans alike upset by the audacity of this person, who, as far as can be told, has never themselves contributed fanfiction to the community, to tell people what they can and cannot write) for their original comments, is a form of manipulative abuse called ‘gaslighting’. They are now claiming to be a victim that “never said to stop writing”, despite that having been the literal words they used in the opening of their original post. They are now pointing at these comments as “proof” of their point that soukoku fans are aggressive bullies that attack without cause when there was definitely cause from the original comments. This person clearly has bigger issues than just lacking shipper content for their personal preferences on the BSD fandom.

To all of those who are afraid to share content for your ship because you think you’ll be harassed, as evidenced by this person’s claims, that is simply not true. While there might be one or two people that say something, we all get them no matter if you have a popular ship or a rarepair ship, haters are gonna hate – I’ve gotten my share of hateful comments towards my ships too, but there are many more people that share your ship and are interested in your content, in fact, some of them are starved for it. While having a rarepair might mean you’ll garner less interactions with your content, you have a better opportunity to form a deeper bond with the people that do interact, and they may be more appreciative, because what you’re delivering to them is so much harder to come by. The existence of one ship does not affect your ship’s popularity, and if it simply went away, that doesn’t mean that your ship would receive more attention – in fact, it might mean the show itself would receive less attention.

Create and let others create and use platforms for their appropriate purposes, and most importantly, when it comes to addressing toxic behavior in a fandom, look to yourself first. Are you placing the blame where it belongs? Are you addressing the root cause of the problem or swinging blindly and attacking innocent bystanders in the process? Will what you say actually help the problem? Or will it contribute to the issue, and maybe even create an issue that didn’t exist before?

4xR (Quatre x Relena): You think the concept of opposites attract is HIGHLY overrated.

2x5 (Duo x Wufei): You think the concept of opposites attract cannot be highly rated enough.

1x4 (Heero x Quatre): Your interest in canon divergence is outweighed by your interest in edgy boys.

RxD (Relena x Dorothy): I’m not sure how you, a yuri fan, ended up in this fandom, but like, good on you for making the most of it.

1x5 (Heero x Wufei): You don’t so much want a bickering married couple as like a really WASPy couple where both partners kind of resent each other and no one talks about their feelings.

1x6 (Heero x Zechs): You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of wanting to kill each other.

2x3 (Duo x Trowa): You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of shared trauma.

2xH (Duo x Hilde): You are a firm believer in ignoring the main cast in favor of the funny side characters.

2x4 (Duo x Quatre): You just wanted good things for Quatre, and really, who wouldn’t?

2xR (Duo x Relena): You think the best way to resolve a love triangle is by ignoring the axis.

4xD (Quatre x Dorothy): Your ideal relationship dynamic is femdom.

5x6 (Wufei x Zechs): Your ideal relationship dynamic is that meme that’s like “hoe don’t do it… oh my god” but somehow both partners are the hoe.

5x13 (Wufei X Treize): I could give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you think that Treize is hot, which, fair. But realistically I should just hit you with the “FBI OPEN UP!”

5xS (Wufei x Sally): You had a crush on Sally Po. Also, obligatory FBI OPEN UP!

6x9 (Zechs x Noin): You’re just here for some MEN 👏 GETTING 👏 PEGGED 👏

6x13 (Zechs x Treize): You want to fuck father figures, but you also have a deep appreciation for high camp.

13xUne (Treize x Une): Your ideal relationship dynamic is that thing you and your friends did in middle school where you ship the hot male teacher with the hot female teacher.

9xS (Noin x Sally): Your ideal relationship dynamic is just girls being friends. Gals being pals.

1x2x3x4x5 (Heero x Duo x Trowa x Quatre x Wufei): Your interest in making difficult choices is outweighed by your overwhelming horniness.

HI I STILL LOVE YOU. Salty asks: 4, 11, 23

Another one from the Salty Meme…

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

I wouldn’t go so far to say my NOTPs are particularly “popular” OTPs in the fandom nowadays, and as a multi-shipper I may have my favorites, but most are on the table. But I think Quatre x Dorothy is up there for me. Power to the folks who ship ‘em and they do make great foils to one another, but I don’t like the idea of them being romantically involved. Trowa x Catherine is another one.

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why? -and- 23. Unpopular character you love?

I’ll answer these two together because I think they’d be the same: Wufei. Wufei caught a bunch of grief early in the fandom and still does today because of a couple of his lines delivered early in the show. Namely, “I don’t fight bleeding hearts and women,” during his introduction and, “A woman, that explains it,” when taunting Noin after his attack against her students.

Wufei in early fanworks was always losing his shit, screaming about “Onna” (and we’ll disregard the linguistic rabbit hole we could go down there), and generally horrible. I was willing to buy into it to a certain degree at the time because I didn’t like him much either.

But then I read Episode Zero, got older, and did a couple series rewatches with friends. Wufei has since become one of my favorite characters because I think his growth across the series and his complexity are so under-explored and that makes him ripe for creative exploration in fandom. His early motivations - albeit absolutist and immature - I don’t think come from an inherently sexist position, but a poorly executed attempt to be STRONGER because of past failures (real or perceived) and do right by his family and his dead wife. That’s a lot for a fifteen year old kid to carry on top of the whole Gundam pilot thing.

Possibilities

"The victorious grin on her face was that of the cat that ate the canary. Trowa watched her figure appreciatively as he followed behind her. This wasn't what he'd planned, but then, what was the harm in embracing other possibilities…?"

EVERY GUNDAM WING SHIP YOU CAN THINK OF CHALLENGE

Okay I am not to going to do a whole ass multiplication table to answer this ask but you asked for it!

Ok I am not doing absolute crack!ships involving like one off characters with one off characters in different eps with each other. So this mainly is going to involve major and re-occurring characters. No ships involving the super old characters (the engineers, Quinze) or the super young (Mariemeia) is included. Also I don’t acknowledge Frozen Teardrop so no characters exclusive to that will be featured here.

Also with one exception I am only doing characters that either interact with the character or whom the fandom has made a thing

Dorothy x Catherine: I am super into for a ship where neither character ever meets the other. But I would think it would be a great opposites attract sort of thing. My Grade: C (Just because this is my feelings re: ships where there is no in canon interaction)

Duo x Hilde (2xH): Absolutely cute, totally normal and very respectable. My grade: A

Duo x Quatre (2x4): They would work, but also nothing really interesting or compelling about them as a romantic unit. My grade: D

Duo x Relena (2xR): As a total flash in the pan, completely AU thing sure, but as a serious thing? No. My grade: D

Duo x Trowa (2x3): Duo would do a lot to lighten Trowa up, it could be workable given the right circumstances. My grade: D

Duo x Wufei (2x5): I think Wufei is a little TOO intense for Duo. My grade: E

Heero x Catherine (1xC): He’d be dead in one minute. My grade: E

Heero x Dorothy (1xD): HAHAHAHA this is hilarious, I find it interesting, also she’d actually kill him. Also, she’s gay. My grade: E

Heero x Duo (1x2): HA! I admit if I was just to look at the dynamic it would just be a D or E in terms of it just not being my thing, but the fandom absolutely killed it for me. My grade: F

Heero x Noin (1x9): Very competent and thus very impossible. My grade: E

Heero x Quatre (1x4): I love their friendship and the way they relate, interesting things to explore about overcoming grief and trauma. My grade: B

Heero x Relena (1xR): Very good, Peak Dynamic, makes me cry, too many fic ideas. NUMBER 2 HET. My Grade: A+

Heero x Sally (1xS): I don’t think Heero would know what to do with a girl like Sally. My Grade: E

Heero x Treize (1x13): Their one absolutely hilarious conversation aside, that would be a nope. My grade: F

Heero x Trowa (1x3): I don’t trust Trowa’s judgment on Heero, and I think most of their conversations will be conducted silently and in code, but whatever it’s fine. My grade: D

Heero x Wufei (1x5): Very interesting, Heero might actually be the more stable one here. My grade: D

Heero x Zechs (1x6): This could have been a really interesting enemies to lovers ship if Zechs wasn’t such a douche. My grade: E

Noin x Une (9x11): A quality ship, they can bond with their terrible taste in men. My grade: C

Noin x Sally (9xS): So, So, So good. Drift compatible should have been a thing. My grade: A

Quatre x Catherine Bloom (4xC): Quatre’s gay and Catherine doesn’t like him. My Grade: E

Quatre x Dorothy (4xD): They both deserve better and are also gay and I hate how they are paired in every het fic on the het side of fandom. I don’t like it. My grade: F

Quatre x Noin (4x9): Quatre’s gay, so not really. Grade: E

Quatre x Relena (4xR): I admit that I read a couple of fics once. But like again I don’t think Quatre is really attracted to woman. BUT IN A PLATONIC SENSE, they are great. My Grade: B (FOR THE PLATONIC POTENTIAL)

Quatre x Trowa (3x4): One of the best dudeslash pairings, they just click, but they have this fraught tension what with what Quatre did mid series, but they really are a GOOD. My grade: A+

Quatre x Wufei (4x5): Yeah, I think Quatre deserves better. My grade: E

Relena x Dorothy (RxD): Very solid, definite attraction there. Peak dynamic. My grade: A

Relena x Hilde (RxH): Very cute, but honestly it feels more pair the spares than an actual connection. My grade: C

Relena x Noin (Rx9): I see it more as a sisterly/mentor bond. My grade: D

Relena x Sally (RxS): Sally is a little too old but there’s a mutual respect. My grade: E

Relena x Une (Rx11): Une killed her dad so that would be a no. My grade: E

Sylvia Noventa x Main Soldier: Okay this is my one one-off character ship, but i call the soldier Thomas and they were sweet and I like to think they have been bonding: My grade: B

Treize x Relena (13xR): Strangely would find it interesting a few years down the line as sort of a power play sort of thing???? Wow I think we found my most problematic ship opinion. My Grade: D

Treize x Une (13x11): Could have been okay, but the writing of Une was weird. My grade: D

Trowa x Catherine (3xC): I don’t buy them as being actually blood related but they clearly view each other as a sibling relationship so yeah no. My Grade: E

Trowa x Dorothy (3xD): She stabbed his boyfriend and that’s a no. My grade: E

Trowa x Noin (3x9): Interesting and very competent. My grade: C

Trowa x Relena (3xR): They talk once and it would be fine if she had met him first. My grade: D

Trowa x Une (3x11): I actually like this (don’t hurt me) in a sort of can you imagine sort of way. My grade: C

Trowa x Wufei (3x5): Very serious, but not really all that interesting. My grade: D

Wufei x Relena (5xR): The fact that fandom amde this a thing feels very pair the spares and so I can’t get behind it especially when Dorothy or even Hilde are there. My grade: E

Wufei x Sally (5xS): I think they make good work partners, but not as a romantic item. My grade: D

Wufei x Treize (5x13): Well if love is having killed the person, they sort of got it. My grade: E

Wufei x Zechs (5x6): Wufei should have killed him too. My grade: E

Zechs x Noin (6x9): Noin’s character is wasted on him. But I have to hold up a little flag that I found the fandom back in the day the nicest part of the fandom. My grade: E

Zechs x Treize (6x13): Honestly it works because it gets them out of the way of everybody else. My grade: D

GW Holiday Gift Exchange 2019-2020

Giftee: Amyole

One-shot: 1 x R

It was not easy if your friends were all married or in a relationship.

Although Relena Peacecraft was very proud of her career and life as an independent woman, she had to admit that she feels left out when she’s with her friends. Hilde got engaged to Duo Maxwell, who owned a mechanic shop. Hilde couldn’t stop talking about how she and Duo met. It was a stormy night and her car broke down. Duo volunteered assistance without charge; and cupid did the rest. Meanwhile, Dorothy insisted that she and Quatre are an item even though both Relena and Hilde got a vibe that Quatre was more interested in his friend, Trowa. Relena’s older brother Milliardo is married as well. Him and his wife Noin constantly asked Relena about her relationship status. Milliardo’s best friend Treize often defended Relena’s decision to stay single. Yet, he did try to set her up with a couple of colleague of his.

Was it because she’s too picky? Not necessarily. She was not someone who’d play Russian roulette (aka trying to see if it works) or hang man (sticking to someone because she doesn’t want to hurt his feeling by rejecting him). If she were to be with anyone, it has to be the one. She would know it if she sees it.

“Come on, Relena,” Hilde said. “You need to come out of your dream world and be realistic. Duo isn’t perfect but I would not trade him for anything else.”

“Hilde, I know what I’m doing,” Relena insisted. “I haven’t met the right man yet.”

“What about him?” Hilde pointed to a man at the bar.

“Too short,” Relena replied. “I like tall guys.”

“What about him?” Hilde eyed another guy who sat not too far from them.

“No, I don’t like blonds.”

“Ah, my favorite girls!” Dorothy popped up behind them and grabbed a chair. “Still trying to find a guy for our Lena?”

“Dorothy, knock it off,” Relena scoffed. Dorothy could be annoying and overbearing at times.

“I got a new idea,” Dorothy said and took out a box of tarot cards. “Let’s use fortune telling to see where and when our Lena will meet the one.”

Relena gulped her wine as Dorothy played with the cards. Relena never believed in tarot cards.

“Water,” Dorothy examined the cards. “Water.”

“I’ll meet my significant other in water?” Relena asked. “Is him drowning me or me drowning him?”

“I can’t say but water is the element.”

~~~

Water is the element. Yeah, right.

Raining day?

A day in the sea?

Relena knew deep down in her heart that the real reason she’s single is because she loves to be single. She never saw relationship as a need. Being single gave her time and space for self-care.

Like exercising. She had an indoor swimming pool where she could do her daily laps after coming home from work. She was free, looks good, and need no man.

When she emerged from the pool, she found herself face to face with a man. Dark hair and dark blue eyes, he wore blank pants with a grey jacket over his green shirt.

“Oh hi,” she greeted, with slight anxiousness.

“Miss Relena Peacecraft?” He asked in monotone.

“Yes,” she replied. “How did you get in here?”

“You didn’t lock the door,” he said. “Heero Yuy. I’m a friend of Duo Maxwell’s.”

Wrapped herself in a towel, Relena asked, “Why are you here?”

“You’re late for the bachelorette party,” Heero told her. “They tried to call you, but you never answered. Your friends got worried.”

“Oh, I forgot,” Relena blushed and went to her phone. “I need to get dressed. Please, make yourself comfortable.”

She never said that to any guy in her house - make yourself comfortable. Usually, she’d told them to leave.

After she went to get dressed, Heero’s lip curved into a smile. Duo was right, he thought. She is indeed beautiful.

“Hey buddy, do me a favor?” Duo approached him. “Can you go check on a friend of Hilde’s? Her name is Relena Peacecraft. Hilde tried to call her but she’s not responding.”

“Ah,” Heero nodded. It gave him a good reason to leave the bachelor party. He was never a party person.

“Just a warning,” Duo said before Heero leaves. “She’s very good looking. No, she’s beautiful. But don’t ever fall in love with her. If getting her is a mission, you’ll fail that mission.”

Him - Heero Yuy - never failed a mission.
