" 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. Chapters correspond to commentaries until chapter 9, at which point the commentary drops off, and picks back up at chapter 17.

Behind the Scenes of The Drums of Heaven

Commentary 2

NOTE: This commentary is a companion piece to The Drums of Heaven and may not make complete sense unless you’ve read chapter 2 of that story.

Zefyr: Commentary for the second chapter! Now that you’ve read ---

Duo: I am on STRIKE.

Trowa: Yeah.

Zefyr: What?

Duo: Since when did you decide to do Bastard Duo? Isn’t that a cliché?

Trowa: And bastard Trowa, too.

Zefyr: Not really. Well, it’s a stereotype, but not really used enough to be a cliché yet.

Wufei: I think it’s high time someone else got to be the bastard, other than Heero or me.

Heero: Yeah.

Zefyr: Hey, the story’s only two chapters in. Don’t go breaking up the party yet.

Relena: I thought it was good. Except for the unhappy parts.

Quatre: Zef did a nice job of moving from scene to scene.

Duo: By the way, am I dead?

Zefyr: What?

Duo: You said in the summary I’m gone. GONE? What? You killed me already?

Zefyr: I haven’t killed anyone.

Trowa: Yes, you have. I read your other stories. You’re brutal. You kill off characters without thinking twice. You slaughtered a whole regiment of British spirit folk and beat the crap out of your lead dragon.

Zefyr: I am not brutal.

Wufei: I agree with Trowa. I want to add a line to my contract that I live through this story.

Zefyr: Behave, or I’ll edit this chapter so your head is shaved.

Wufei: I’ll be good.

Quatre: I want to know why Trowa left like that.

Trowa: It’s just a story.

Quatre: Still, it’s a little upsetting.

Rat: I liked it.

Duo: Who are you?

Rat: I’m in the next chapter.

Duo: What are you doing here?

Rat: What are YOU doing here? You don’t even show up for another chapter or two!

Duo: How do you know?

Rat: I read the author’s notes.

Duo: Lemme see that. Hmm. Interesting. *flip* *flip* Verrry interesting... oh, look at that.

Wufei: Let me see.

Duo: No. Mine! Get yer own.

Heero: This is ridiculous. Can’t you just wait to see what happens next?

Quatre: Where’d Trowa go?

Heero: He’s reading again.

Wufei: We already read the recent chapter.

Heero: No, I think he’s catching up on Mitsugi’s epic. She updated just a day ago.

Wufei: I didn’t get an email alert. Damn it.

Duo: I want to read it when Trowa’s done.

Zefyr: Hello! People! My story, you’re supposed to comment on THIS story. Remember? I can cut this short if you don’t behave!

Relena: I say we be nice to the author. I like Wufei’s hair long. It’s sexy.

Wufei: Really?

Relena: *smirk*

Duo: Relena’s smirking. Be afraid.

Heero: Shut up.
