Gundam Wing: Sunrise by Kay Zozma
Sunrise (Trowa/Quatre | G | 5,185 words) is Quatre and Trowa's first meeting from the perspective of one of the Maguanacs, which is definitely a different point of view. The story is gentle and beautiful and profound -- an all-around lovely story. I particularly like Quatre's reaction to his first sunset.
Excerpt:
He turns around again, trying to look everywhere at once, and now he starts running farther from the hangar so he can see past it, off to where the edges of the Atlas Mountains are silhouetted against the eastern sky. His delight draws the rest of us to follow, even the brown-haired pilot, who stoically regards all the features of the sunrise as Quatre eagerly points them out.
The clouds above the peaks are outlined in gold and red, the lines of color like fiery poetry or prophecy written on the heavens. To the north, other clouds shade from palest rose to deep purple shadows, all dappled with gleams of almost-white. The sky directly overhead is a clear indigo blue, which blends through half the spectrum to brilliant orange at the horizon. Golden sunbeams break through the eastern clouds to streak across the sky.
