" Behind the Scenes of The Drums of Heaven "Written By: Solitude1056 Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but I
like to take them out and play with them. Pairings: Heeruo, Trotre, Heerena (only as source
of teasing), Zefillow, but no Spuffy. Oh, wait, wrong fandom. Okay,
I meant: Heero & Duo, Trowa & Quatre, Heero & Relena (past
only), and Zefyr & Evil Willow. Rated: PG-13. And General Weirdness. Warnings: fluff, weird stuff, gratuitous use of
original characters, and occasional cameos from other Zefyr fics or
general anime, all written as voice-over commentary transcripts. Critiques: Always welcome, especially constructive.
Spoilers: Many spoilers for the actual story;
recommended that Drums be read prior to reading the corresponding
commentary. Behind the Scenes of The Drums of Heaven Commentary 16 Duo: First, I am NOT wearing tights in chapter 31. Hilde: I think you’d look cute in them. Duo: Where’s my gun? Quatre: Oh, no, please. We’ve already shot enough
holes in the studio, don’t you think? Relena: Quick! We have a question from a reader. Lady
Jessy wanted to know if, uh, stuff like that can really happen. Heero: What stuff? Tights? Duo: Grrrr. Relena: No, the... lemon-that-wasn’t. Quatre: Oh, the grapefruit. Hilde: The what? Trowa: A lemon is an explicit sex scene; a lime is a
non-explicit sex scene. A grapefruit, as coined by CleverYoungThief,
is a sex scene that didn’t get completed. Zefyr: And an orange is one that happens off-screen. Duo: So that’s why you’re always throwing
oranges at me. I’ve been getting laid and no one told me? Zefyr: In the story, no. No oranges, no lemons, no limes,
either. Duo: In the story! All I’ve gotten in the story
is a bunch of making out and... the grapefruit. Heero: Do you mind? Duo: Oh. Sorry. Wufei: For your information, Lady Jessy, since no one
else is speaking up... yes. It happens. Relena: In my experience, it’s usually the introverted
ones. When you combine the vulnerability of a sexual experience with
extreme emotion, especially if the heart’s gotten involved, it
can be overwhelming, and the body shuts down. Wufei: ..... Heero: ..... Trowa: ..... Relena: Oh, please, guys. It happens to women, too. Hilde: Well... actually... she’s right. I had this
friend, once, who was in love for the first time, and she just completely
freaked out when she realized she was in love, and they were in the
middle of sex, and she just burst into tears and stuff. Duo: A friend. Hilde: Don’t even say it, or I’ll bust you
one. Duo: Gotcha. Wufei: Relena’s right. That’s pretty much
how it can happen, but without the bursting into tears. Relena: The tears are optional, I think. But I’m
sure everyone’s had at least one sexual experience where they’ve
just frozen up, for whatever reason. Quatre: What does a woman do, then? Relena: Uh... depends. Hilde: Just keep going, I guess. No reason to let your
partner down just because you’re flipping out for a minute. Duo: You just kept going? After crying? Hilde: That wasn’t me, damn it. That really was
a friend. But I’ve had it happen. I just... y’know... paused,
then worked to get the mood back. Heero: A guy can’t. You lose it, and it’s
kind of obvious. Wufei: This is true. Just like it’s nearly impossible
for a guy to fake an orgasm. Trowa: That’s not true. Quatre: ..... Heero: ..... Duo: ..... Wufei: ..... Relena: So. Uh. Hilde: Yeah. Zefyr: How ‘bout them Skins? You see they almost
won a game a few weeks ago? Duo: Wierdo. Zefyr: Hey. So what does everyone think of the story
so far? Hilde: You’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the
chapter leading up to the grapefruit scene, at least. Zefyr: I had some good inspiration. Duo: You’re welcome. Heero: Idiot. Relena: So are the hackers completely useless now? What’s
with all the email questions? Quatre: The whole problem is connecting Joe’s death
to the President. All we’ve got right now is circumstantial,
and the team can’t even connect their orders to a leader of any
sort. Trowa: Personally, I suspect part of the plan is that
we’re supposed to attract the same attention Joe did. Wufei: Could be. You’re not doing a very good job
of it, so far, then. Duo: We’re working on it. Trust me, Trowa as Puss-in-Boots
will attract attention plenty. Hilde: Zefyr, why’d you break up the team, anyway? Zefyr: I had to get Duo and Heero alone to develop their
friendship. With all the other noise going on, it was constant distraction. Trowa: But now we’re back on track with the main
storyline. Zefyr: Mostly. Quatre: Any hints on what’s coming up next? Zefyr: Uh... nope. Quatre: Damn. Wufei: Duo, have you spoken to Rat recently? Can he
get into Zefyr’s laptop? Duo: Worth a shot. Zefyr: Hey! Heero: Duo... don’t piss off the author. Duo: Oh, ‘Ro, don’t be a spoilsport. I just
wanna know--- Zefyr: One word, Duo: GRAPEFRUIT. Heero: Duo, sit DOWN and shut UP. Duo: *eep* Quatre: So... about this statement that guys can fake
orgasms... Trowa: ..... ~ oOo ~ ~ oOo ~ On to Commentary 17 |
