Oh, this was so precious! I think this was the first time reading a fic like this where I didn't guess that the child was his. I find I really sweet that he just had a life waiting for him that he didn't even know about, like an answered prayer that he didn't even pray. I like alot!

Normally #xOC makes me nervous. But I liked this. =) It wasn't over the top sappy and it was just simply cute. The gentle acceptance of Gaia is curious, but not ridiculous. I did like it. It was cute and fluffy and fun. (The author note made me giggle because the reason I didn't review earlier, is because I was in the middle of writing my 2x5. LOL!) Thank you for fluffiness! YAY! =)

It's nice. I was expecting more dialogue between Heero and Gaia at their meeting (and maybe a more romantic atmosphere) and didn't really feel the chemistry, though I understood the simplicity of her life attracted him to her. I think a more progressive, less sudden setup for introducing Yasmine would have made this story more wonderful. Still, thanks for a good read.

As soon as I saw the summary, I was on guard. OCs paired with the pilots are usually transparent self-inserts or blatant Mary Sues. I didn't find that here. Gaia did exhibit a couple of Sue qualities; for instance, she is inhumanly understanding and compassionate. His memories of her are all comfortable and perfect. You should also label this AU since Zero hasn't been destroyed and Heero ejected out of an escape pod (none of which happened in Endless Waltz). The Heero of the series wouldn't just hang out on an island for three months while the world was in danger.

I noticed a few spelling mistakes: "make due" - make do, "meerely" - merely, "breezey" - breezy, "alot's" - a lot's. Yasmine is spelled two different ways near the end: which one is it? Also "baka" randomly appears. Japanese words in an English story are annoying to read and usually pointless. You also overuse ellipses. With that said, I was impressed with how nostalgic you were able to convey Heero without hurtling him headfirst into OOC territory. This story is about Heero, not Gaia, which I was happy to see. The ending scene was poignant and you get this sense that he's finally at peace. Nice work!
