Does anyone have a good AU Gundam Wing fic they can recommend (no pairings, 1x2x1, or Duo as main character, please)? I prefer dark/angsty, magic... but I'll take any good stories I can get!
I can't pimp Maldoror enough. While she does have various pairings, most of her fics aren't pairing centered, she tends more towards plot and character development, and doesn't sissify anyone. Her "Source of All Things" has all the boys, the docs, magic and is working towards eventual 1x2x5, with present 3x4, but it is *not* a pairing based story at all. She creates very original worlds, writes *long* chapters, (SoaT is up to ch. 37) and has a rather warped sense of humor. Her Freeport is darker and focuses on Wufei, but it's not quite AU, it just takes place after the war and is working towards 2x5x2. If at some point you feel inclined to read a shortish bit that focuses on both Wufei and Duo and is *really* dark, her Darkside Tales are good, too. Serious psychological mindfuck material.
Sorry these don't fit all your criteria, I couldn't think of anything else that came close. ^^
