This was so REAL and true to the thoughts that goes through the mind of the one left behind. It might not be a gun, sometimes a little pickup truck can do the deed. funny how SOMEONE else can change it all in flick of time. Thanks for writing this. You are FANTASTIC.

*wails* noo! not my trowa! *slaps self* oops *lol* sorry about that! beautiful beautiful work hon! your writing talent continues to amaze me! *glomp* we really must get together and co-author something soon! _

DO you realize that youve got a play on words in here? I didnt notice it before... and Im not sure if youve noticed it, or if you did it on purpose or what. Anyways, Im sure the proper saying is, "...or forever hold your PEACE." THAT spelling. But you spelled it "piece" as in a GUN. Like.. the gun Quatre was holding. Hehehee, its early in the morning and Im trying t read fanfics... hehehe

(should be signed) wow. especialy liked the ending. This was a very introspective look at Quatre, and I liked it a lot. The song was good too; Three Doors Down is one of my favorite bands right now. Do you know if anyone has made an anime songfic for Kriptonite? That would be cool to read. But back to your fic; I think for your first attempt at a Gundam fanfic, it reads like you've got plenty of experience under your belt. It took me forever to figure out how to write Gundam Wing fanfic, but you've got it down near perfect the first time. Your characterization of Quatre is excellent. I'm more of the mind that he would react unexpectedly and violently to such terrible news, but this slow, methodical finality you've given him is creepy too, in a very tragic way. Your use of the lyrics, by which I mean the separation and placement within the story, is flowing and, while the verses are a bit long, they fit nicely in the fic, and add to the overall effect. Still, what I really want to tell you is that I was pleasantly surprised and immensely pleased with your ending. I had resigned myself to the fact that this was going to be suicide fic and I was going to walk away feeling depressed, and that no matter how well-written I recognized it to be, I still would have been unhappy. But the ending was surprising and perfectly done; continuing the grief but showing the irony of life as well. And, of course, there was Duo. Heeheeehehee Duo makes everything tense times better. ... Okay just ignore that last sentence-I'm sure it was uttered by a silly otaku with an obsession not a serious fanfic reviewer _-. Seriously, though, I liked how you portrayed Duo; you said a lot in less than four sentences, which is certainly something, and you didn't even name him. ::looks up at clock:: oh wow its late I have to go to bed...hahaaaa...you know its not healthy to stay up pat four AM reading fanfic, its really not. Anyway, I liked this fic and I hope you write more soon. Just FYI, I looked up your name after reading it in the Author's Notes of Broken Wing (isn't that the coolest xover is world?), and I thought I'd check out your Gundam stuff. I'm glad I did. And yes, I always write long reviews. But I only review the ones that deserve it, and you do. I'm hoping to build a quiet reputation as the anime fanfic world's longest and most devoted reviewer-but why bore you with that at this hour, when you probably couldn't give a pair of dingo's kidneys what I'm hoping to do. (I got the dingo's kindeys bit from my favorite books by Douglas Adams, and always wanted to say it!) Er...anyway, goodnight. Sleep well and write me more GW fanfic to read...ooops, I mean, write *us* more GW fanfic to read.

WOW!

What can one say to a piece like this... um...

For the first time Quatre has my sympathy, and that's, for me anyway, saying a lot. But what a meaningless way to go, poor Trowa... Poor Quatre... I'm even feeling sorry for Duo at the end there. Again I love your style... it's very descriptive and the images simply pour off the screen when reading it. Extremely well written, and an interesting subject too. I like how Quatre's sucide was halted in the end, and how Duo just let him be... giving him the option to continue or not. I have to say that I was glad when he chose the latter.

A common idea that was very well executed. And a unique ending too.

Keep it up! Waiting for more.

Slan!

God... this is wonderful. I'm glad I have found so many wonderful writers... this is definitely going on my favourites list!

Well, that was depressing..and I have to say, you wrote Quatre very well! I liked this a lot, and I don't usually read 34/3x4! Keep 'em comin'!
