This fanfic is one of the few I've ever read that I actually enjoyed. It is a smart, witty fusion of two animes that seems surpisingly natural. And, most importantly, unlike every other fanfic I've ever read, I actually wanted more when I was done reading it. I wanted there to be a chapter 2, 3, 4, etc. What would happen when Yurika meets her brother, Jiro Yamada (I mean Gai!)? Oh, the insanity! Alas, that was not to be. Apparently, the author has retired or something. Understandable, I guess. I'm not sure if the level of creativity, intellect and wit could keep up if someone were to attempt to do all 49 episodes of Gundam Wing (and maybe even Endless Waltz/Prince of Darkness.. there's an idea). It wasn't as if Gundam Wing itself was perfect for all 49 episodes. But, as Gai would say, enjoy it for what it is, and what it is, is quite good. Like I said, it just makes me wish for more when I was done reading, because it was just that good. Except maybe the Yurika thing. But that's cause I'm a Yurika fan, and not much of a Ruri fan. I think Yurika could have worked well as Relena by herself, because Yurika was half serious, half idiotic (well, maybe 80% idiotic). I let that go, though, because it worked fairly well as it was, and who else would Ruri be, in Gundam Wing? Maybe Dorothy, but she was pretty minor. Anyway, such promise, such promise. Such a shame, to watch your tomatoes rippen all season, just to let them rot.
