Excerpt:
"I won't waste your time by making this conversation suspenseful. The unity government has come to an agreement on what to do with you, while we proceed to elections. You will be remanded into the personal custody of a member of the government. Pilot 01 has been remanded to Relena Peacecraft. Pilot 05 to Alliance forces lead negotiator Major Sally Po. Pilot 03, to Romefeller representative Dorothy Catalonia. I assume you can see where this is going."
It didn't leave many options for the two of them which meant Treize Khushrenada was there to take prisoners into custody and collect himself or Duo. "And you get...?" One, both, or none? Instinctively he wanted to see if he had any sense of his intentions but since everything he felt muted, deadened as if that part of him had been removed.
No immediate answer. "Lt. Colonel Lucrezia Noin, reinstated to OZ, will take custody of pilot 02. Congratulations, I know you worked well with her in space. She has a kind heart." He nodded to Quatre. "Mr. Winner, you will be moved tonight. Do you have any questions?"
"Yeah, what the fuck do you mean remanded into custody? Like prison?"
"Only if you act like it must be."

Instinctively, Quatre wanted to see if he had any sense of the man's intentions but since everything at the end of the war, he had felt muted, deadened - as if that part of him had been removed. Or, Spaceheart takes a holiday and comes back with baggage. A reworking of the Post Eve War Prisoner of War Trope.
My notes: This is another epic AU that starts with the war with the colonies ending differently and the gundam pilots being remanded into the individual custody of Oz or the Alliance. From there it deviates into twisting intrigue and then very successfully blends in the Gundam concept of newtypes, blending in colonial backgrounds and proximity to explain why the powers didn't manifest before the war. CW for pretty intense assault and torture, but not between the pairings.
