Ships that I Ship: Day 15: Duo/Heero

[coprime]

Fandom: Gundam Wing
Pairing: Duo Maxwell/Heero Yuy
Canon Level: Coworkers

I watched Gundam Wing back when it first aired on Toonami, and I was obsessed with it back then. It stills holds a very dear place in my heart, and every so often I go looking for fic in a fit of fond nostalgia. Duo/Heero was totally my bag back then, mostly because Duo was my favorite and Duo/Heero was a juggernaut pairing. But! I really do think they could work well together. Duo would force Heero not to be so serious all the time, and Heero could ground Duo and give him a sense of stability.

Funnily enough, Duo/Heero was a pairing I used to read (many moons ago) and yet I never got around to watching any of the show. It was a huge pairing, big enough that even someone not in the fandom ended up occasionally reading.

Hah, yeah, Duo/Heero and Gundam Wing in general were really huge. How the fandom viewed them and how the show treated them were two different things, so I'm not sure if never watching the show would have been a detriment.

Hee! In that case, I might have been fine sticking with the fanon.
