Excerpt:
Catherine tried to speak, but her throat was dry from sleep. She cleared her throat and tried again. "Trowa?"
"Shh. I haven't got much time." He held up the broken old phone she'd caught him fiddling with earlier. "How long have I been gone? The others aren't responding. The last safe house hasn't been activated. Howard's broadcasting some weird locator for Duo… It feels like I've been gone for a while."
"Uh…" Catherine blinked. "Protocol Zero Three… Eta."
Trowa stared at her, his focus shifting as if he was looking beyond her.
"I'm sorry, Trowa…" She reached forward and touched his cheek. "But Sally said we couldn't risk it. She seemed really scared of the OSB. That Smythe woman would take you away again."
His eyes fluttered shut for a moment as he took a shuddering breath. When his green eyes opened again, they refocused on her. "Don't try that again," he said in a hard tone. "Cathy… how long?"

Years after the war, nothing is what anyone hoped for. Peace reigns supreme. Duo Maxwell's world fragments apart when he finds a man he doesn't recognize hiding out in his apartment, a man holding a picture of people he doesn't recognize. The one thing he does recognize is the handwriting on the envelope - it's his own.
My notes: I love this author's writing, so I'm always willing to take a chance on a new unfinished work. This fic is a mindfuck for the pilots, as they struggle to reunite and figure out who has modified their memories, and why, and how to reconcile the missing parts of their lives. CW for seriously and possibly permanently hurt Quatre and Trowa. Wufei's paired with the author's standard OFC, Riko, the one I like, so it's all good.
