Title: The Hurricane
Recipient: dentelle_noir
Rating: PG
Warnings: Post-EW
Summary: Quatre gets caught in a storm.
Author's Notes: The prompt was 3x4 sci-fi... And since GW itself is sci-fi, I just went with what seemed the most sci-fi element of the series itself, the terraforming of Mars from the end of EW... hope that fits!!

Thank you!! I loved the ending! And I could really PICTURE the mars sand storm! Right now I'm living in a town that is very isolated, so I understand Quatre's feelings very much! Beautiful work!

Okay now that I can actually respond to this, eheheheh...

You're welcome :D I'm so glad you liked it. I've lived in places like that before, and it was rough.

That was gorgeous. Using mars as the backdrop worked really well in showing the loneliness that Quatre was feeling. I really liked the way that they were completely open with each other and coming back together was easy and natural.

Thank you! I definitely wanted to show that it was easy for them to come back together, and the only thing that had been keeping them apart were their own insecurities, basically. Because, you know, they belong together <3

Awww! kids. (Not that they're kids anymore, here, but I am still so fond of them)

This was really enjoyable!

so I reread

I just want to say, even 11 days later (especially as someone who RPs Quatre), these lines have been lingering with me:

Quatre sighed and stood from his chair.

“That's enough,” he said to no one.

But that strange sadness had already crept around his heart, and the words did little to shake it.

His characterization seems solid to me all throughout, but that specific bit made me go "<3 Quatre, you are so...Quatre."

I love this comment too :D I almost never write Quatre, so it was a bit of a challenge to put this down in a POV of a character that I love but don't approach often. I really wanted this fic to feel authentic to both of them. So I'm really glad you thought it did (and that it stayed with you :D That is awesome).

[scacao]

Hahahaha I love this comment. Awww, you kids <3

Thank you!

Aww! I really enjoyed this, and how you write them both. (Quatre is such a ridiculous sap, and that is completely canonical; I love how you have him be a competent workaholic and yet full of starry-eyed metaphors.) And Trowa! Trowa not bothering to send a "Yes, sure, I can come" message but coming all the way to Mars. This is lovely.

[scacao]

Thank you! Quatre is a massive sap, siggggh. I picture the base on Mars as being pretty isolated from earth/the colonies, so maybe it was hard to call?? LOL. But no, it's Trowa. He would just show up.

hee...I can tell who wrote this from the writing...its the first one I could guess XD I like it heaps, Quatre is adorable :)

[scacao]

Thank you!! This makes me wonder how obvious my writing style is, f'real O_o Also I was TERRIBLE at guessing the authors for the other fics! I don't think I knew any of them...
