True love outlasts time
The title for this canon based series comes from the inscription on the back of an antique pocket watch which Trowa gives Quatre early on in their relationship.
This series starts with the story 'Counterpoint' and covers Quatre and Trowa's relationship over the following twenty five years and beyond.
*grins. Yes, an epic. I can't seem to write any other way. This series, though, will be written totally out of order as the muses hit. Some fics will be more relationship based, others action/adventure/drama. And of course even though its 3x4 centric the other pilots will get their own air time. Duo has a habit of turning up everywhere
I've also noted, with each completed story, the music I used as a 'writing soundtrack'. It's the musician in me, I always have music playing when I'm writing. Big thanks to Sakura for suggestions regarding some of these soundtracks, and also for her invaluable help writing many of the synops for this series.
The gorgeous picture is courtesy of Kashie, a good friend and very talented artist.
