Title: Overlap
Author: AhsimwithSake
Artist: Persisting
Pairing: 1x3 (Heero/Jae Hee x Trowa)
Rating: M (for future installments)
Word count: 15,424
Summary: They had dreams, of being a doctor and a musician. Museums in Europe. Applause in New York. Pride. Accolades.
I wasn’t supposed to be here.
But “here” was where Heero and Trowa found themselves: the Pacific theatre, in the sweltering heat of the Philippines. They found themselves in the rough confines of a prisoner camp where, for some, the differences between guard and guarded were small at best.
Cruelty and the worst of mischance brought them together; or perhaps it was fate.
Warnings: Violence, swearing, implied and overt racism and discrimination, torture, physical and sexual abuse
(Please note: future installments will include mentions of sexual abuse, and consensual sexual activity)

Rating: T
Wordcount: 16,295
Pairing: None
Characters: Father Maxwell, Sister Schbeiker, Duo Maxwell Jr., Master Chang, Professor W, Doktor T, Cyrene Wind, OC antagonist
Warnings: Contains coarse language, violence, depictions of blood, death.
Summary: Father Maxwell's seen more in his days than he cares to think about, most time -- and, therefore, generally chooses to put all that mess out of mind completely. Crisscrossing Mars' dusty surface grifting gambler's dens and bringing in bounties may be a far cry from being the chaotic force of nature behind a metal-and-plasma death machine, sure, but it works for him. The Reaper's still riding, it's just gotten more up close and personal; and that one stubborn bounty will go down.
Unfortunately the past has a tendency to catch up whether one wants it to or not, and the good Father's piloting days are no exception. As the political arena heats up, his old acquaintances come sniffing around and don't want to take no for an answer -- and they aren't fussy. The sins of the father can easily enough pass on to the son.

rating: PG
word count: 17134
summary:
Life after wartime is different but not easier. Relena tries to control an unruly ESUN, and Heero and Wufei work world security with the Preventers, still led by Une. The rest of the pilots go their own way -- Quatre learning the ropes of the family business from his sisters, Duo working in space salvage, and Trowa heading to university. It's uneasy but at least it's peace.
After an unexpected and violent terrorist attack on the Mars terraforming project involves a Gundam, the pilots are grounded -- tagged, chipped, and told to remain on Earth until the attack can be solved. Duo is the only one that runs. Wufei wants to know why, Heero just wants to be the first to find him, and everyone's personal relationship drama gets in the way.
warnings/content notes: 1st person POV (Wufei's), generally meandering plot, references to violent relationship dynamics

Pairing: 2x3 (Duo Maxwell and Trowa Barton), Quatre Winner, Millardo Peacecraft
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: NSFW, implied coercion, violence, surprise!villian, references to illegal activity, lying, intrigue, violent sex, themes of sexual captivity and ownership
Summary: When Trowa's men catch a thief in the warehouse, the last person he's expecting to see is Duo. The braided pilot won't tell him what he's stealing, or who sent him, but his pockets are empty, and Trowa lets him go-after Duo agrees to a date. It isn't until Duo's left that Trowa realizes that something is missing: Trowa's list of shipment dates and locations.
And so begins their game of cat and mouse, with Duo leading Trowa through a maze of attraction, theft, and assassination attempts. With Duo's help, Trowa's able to stay one step ahead of his mysterious foe...until a mysterious letter arrives, throwing everything on its head and ending with Trowa in shackles, finally caught by the man who wants him out of business-with Duo nowhere to be found.
