Three Years After

Argh, attack of the domesticated, civvie-wearing, fluff-inducing, WAFFy OZ leaders!

Okay, okay, so I'd been listening to '10 Years After' (Gundam 08th MS Team closing song) for, like, two hours when I titled it. Sue me.

This is for Calliope, definitely one of the more talented authors that I've had the pleasure of running across. It was inspired by her 13x6 story Sunshine and Chocolate (which I keep writing with Chocolate first, for some reason, probably subconsciously because it's such a prominent element), which is the most wonderful piece of warm post-war 13x6 fluff that I've run across. It was a real treat making this for her, especially getting to explore completely different sides of Zechs and Treize. I've always been able to see them as being somewhat domesticated and settled down together after the war, with Zechs thoroughly enjoying taking care of the things like cooking. (Hey, he's a Cancer, Treize-sama is a Scorpio, it's a match made in heaven.)

The apron was Calliope's idea, not mine. *g* As His Excellency suggested, if only we could get Zechs to wear it without the clothes underneath!

Incidentally, His Excellency's hair is very fun to draw. Calliope has such lovely descriptions of it, too, that I cannot help but get into it.

Digital again, start to finish. But would you expect anything else from me?

Commentary is enthusiastically appreciated, as my five-man ego-inflation team is currently on holiday. (That and it, you know, lets me know how I'm doing and what people think and all that good stuff.)
