Let me start by saying how very talented you are. Your writing style is beautiful, and your descriptions are well detailed. I like the point of view you put it in, and I knew the moment I started reading it it wasn't an interactive type of story. It's just another way to tell the story, to make the reader feel it's being told to them. You work is inspiring, and it's captured me in a way not many stories do. I'm a huge fan of Taotatum's work, but few others in particular before you. I wish I had half the talent and patience you have for writing. I've started 3 stories that have yet to be finished, two I'm probably going to trash, but all with Heero and Quatre being together. I fail to caputre the true emotion I mean to convey, but you do it so beautifully. I hope this review is much more satisfying than the last. I don't have the time now to read your other GW fic but I hope to get back on soon to do so.

I liked the picture you put in my head of the children running around pretending to be Gundam pilots 01-05.

And there's such a sense of normalcy to Quatre and Heero's lives even though they are both such unique people.

“Their numbers one and four doesn't even have much in common

I had to snicker at this as it seems as valid an argument as I've heard for not pairing the two. *rolls eyes*

Yes...their connection has always been there!

I am always human...My emotions… they keep me grounded. I cry when I need to, laugh when I feel like it.

-You get Quatre when so few people seem to.

Kindness is not necessary when fighting, but it is necessary during other times.”

How can people doubt that Heero would be interested in a person like Quatre when this makes it clear that rather than being offput by the person Q is, he so values him?

the depth of a connection... knowledge a mere inkling in my mind and the connection a faint feeling in my heart.”

-I love how this was expressed.

the soft way Heero would utter Quatre's name, or the way Quatre would silently look at Heero with a tender smile on his face

-You had me before this, but if you hadn't, I'd be putty now.

He was my anchor when my emotions faltered

-Again...if I wasn't already a fan of 1x4, you'd convert me.

What we have was a product of years of single moments

-this is just lovely

I learned to hear both what he was saying and what he was leaving unsaid

-*nods*

This was even better the second read when I wasn't rushed. Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it. You leave me wanting more 1x4x1 from you.

What an absolute delight to read.

Bravo.

Wow, just wow. The narration was wonderful and refreshing, the description of their relationship was amazing. I loved the way you portrayed their present and past. I would really enjoy reeading the prequel to this story.

I'm so glad to see you posted this. I'm getting ready to go on vacation and will not have access to the internet. When I get back, I'll give a better review. Look forward to more of your work.

I have no words but that I simply loved this fic. I rarely leave reviews despite my adoration of fics and often I just add them to my favorites. This one, though, needed to be said. :) I loved it.

A friend put me onto this fic, and I'm so pleased she did. I really like it. It's an interesting insight into Quatre and Heero and how they fit together. Good 1x4 is a rarity and I'm always pleased to find it. I look forward to reading more from you :)

I really like this.

The writing style is great and new. I really like how you leap from the supposed conversation to the different memories to snips of how's life after the war for the pilots as well as for the rest of the world. You found a great way to tell many things in a story and still make it a whole.

I especially enjoyed the parts of the conversation. The way you described Quatre's body language and how each movement reflected how he felt. It was very vivid, and very well written.

You mentioned a prequel? I would really love to read it. I don't care if the style is different. I have the suspicion it would be good as well. We need more good 1x4 fics. *waves 1x4 banner*

Please keep writing and posting. I'm enjoying your GW stories very much.
