This whole arc grew out of my attachment to the idea that Heero shouldn't have to choose between Duo and Relena--and "Complicated" grew to its vast size because I really wanted to make the love affair plausible. I didn't want to toss them together with some kind of 'bed ex machina' (though I like to read those stories, too! ^_^), but wanted to explore the emotional implications of their relationship(s). So it took a long time to drag their stories together and explain everything, and it got, well, complicated. The opening sections are rather atmospheric, but set the stage for the more fast-moving bits that come later. So hang in there! Please note that sections, while in chronological order, are not necessarily continuous (sometimes a lot of time passes in between).
