This was one of the best GX stories I've ever read. I agreed that the Frost Brothers didn't get enough spotlight as villains and were just plain stereotypical. The writeres were probably in such a rush to wrap things up and just stuck them there at the very end. Which I feel is a complete waste. This story made me feel about the Frost Brothers.

A very well done fic based on one of my favourite Gundam series. The show itself was good and I wonder how it would have turned out if it had gotten 49 eps instead of the 39 it had to work with. Perhaps the Frost brothers would have been given more proper character development regarding their goals and dreams rather than just a plain old plan of rebuilding the world in their image after destroying Newtypes and all those who worship the Newtype legend.

I'm glad to have discovered this gem.

I am glad you included the author's note at the end, because it really helped me to understand where you were going with this tale. In Garrod's part, I felt it a little rushed, and it didn't end as polished as the previous sections. I wondered why it was so brief, but then that is true, on how Garrod is pretty simple, with emotions plastered evidently on his face - plus he is a boy of action. But Caris' part also felt rushed at times. I would have liked to read the event of Garrod meeting Olba, so I wonder if maybe the story should have been overall longer? I appreciate the end note, though, because it did clear a few things up. I do understand this story was more on the passage of time and the characters' personal struggles, not necessarily on the induvidual, minor events of action - so I do see how it all works and flows. Also, I have to admit, there were a few things in the last two chapters where you and I disagree, mainly regarding Olba's character. Primarily I could never image Olba saying he was wrong. Perhaps, given the circumstances to alter his once die-hard belief, he might THINK it, but never admit vocally. The Olba I knew was ever proud and arrogant, and that boyish temper sure would hold it back! I also don't believe Olba would ever "pin the blame" on Shagia. Yes, Shagia was the leader of the pair, but though Olba adored him strongly, I don't see him as a mere robot to his Niisan's thoughts and beliefs. And I found Olba to be more bloodthirsty in his quest, attracted to violence, which had to be restrained by Shagia, so they did have induvidual tastes in revenge. I see what you were going for, however, the way a child might mimic the manner of a respected adult, a learned behavior; I'm just not sure I agree with it. Or maybe the Olba in your story just grew up way too fast for me! *clings to badboy Olba* In the end, this was great because it really made me think! Even though I don't believe in happy endings, I enjoyed this very realistic outcome for the Frosts, truly! Damn fine piece of work! :)

I feel terrible! I never knew you finished this story, mostly because I've been out of the anime world since around 2003. But recently I started missing it, and I've been rewatching all my old favorites (including GX) and returning to my old haunts online. And lo and behold, I found "Bronze Labyrinth" again! I have two more chapters to go, but I did want to leave a review thus far. Foremost I would like to say that you always astound me by your thought-out, passionate character introspections; you're one of the most intelligent and talented fan fiction writers available! I am in awe at how well you understand all the GX characters, and especially my Frost boys! I like how you've maintained Shagia's brooding dignity even though he lost all he memories of the "bad guy" character he once was; he may be "Garrod" now, but he still feels very much like "Niisan". And Olba is still just as brash and boyish as ever - I must say, I laughed at that part where he glares at the little girl in the hospital! Seems very much how he'd act when alone. I love how you display their feelings towards the loss of the other, because that deep-rooted connection between the brothers was one of the biggest reasons I actually admired them, and felt sorry for them. You managed to capture all that raw emotion beautifully, not angsty like most other descriptions I've read by others. I'm amazed at how much thought you've put into delevoping the Frosts, not as simple "cartoon characters", but like they were once real human beings with true souls. And it's interesting that you chose artificial Newtype Caris to be Olba's savior, if you will; while I found Caris to be too nice and open-minded (and I think that would ultimately offend Olba, so I honestly smirked when you wrote Olba's "pity party" reply because again, it suits him) he definitely shares that bond of reasoning with the Frosts, even though his heart was big enough to hold more than just himself, which is why he was a "good guy" in the end. I'm looking forward to reading Caris' chapter! I greatly enjoyed your writing of Tiffa and Garrod, as well. I really got the sensation that I was watching their epilogue episode, seeing how they interacted and grew. I always liked Tiffa because I could connect with her shyness and wariness of people, and that says a lot because I rarely like female characters. And you managed to capture the essence of what I liked about her perfectly! How she meets Shagia was superbly written, and I got misty-eyed when she told him that he was indeed once loved before - that really got to me (gawd, I'm such a Frost fangirl *grin*)! Okay, so this has gotten pretty lengthy, but I had to tell you everything that I thought and felt while reading this! Aside from a few typos and a factual error (I think you wrote something along the lines of the Frosts being 16 when actually they were 19 at the time of the series) this is perfect! A perfect and brilliant story!! Hopefully I can finish it soon ...

awesome, its been awhike though, please update soon :D

I love the way how you portrayed how the cast would grow up after the war. An interesting twist on the fate of the Frost brothers. I hope you may get back to this soon (if there is still more to tell) but for now, this is satisfactory.

this is really really really good, please update soon

I loved part 1, keep writing. Excellent way to put Shaiga in there.

Gundam X has a special place in me. Please continue writing the story and I will support you.

ok..is this an AU? because in the end of GX, Olba had Shagia in a wheelchair together watching Garrod and Tifa, i hope the answer lies in your next chapter, please update soon
