" 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 6

NOTE: This commentary is a companion piece to The Drums of Heaven and may not make complete sense unless you’ve read chapter 6 of that story.

Hilde: We’re back, and running a little behind. Zefyr’s been so busy writing chapters that our commentary’s been left by the wayside.

Relena: I say we go on strike.

Wufei: That doesn’t seem to be working. Trowa, Duo, and Heero are already there, and look how far it’s gotten us.

Quatre: It seems to have gotten us more chapters.

Trowa: I think the cattleprod was more effective.

Zefyr: The threat of torture has nothing to do with it. I just felt like writing more.

Quatre: I just noticed your floor still isn’t vacuumed. And are those dirty dishes?

Zefyr: The maid’s on strike, too.

Wufei: So about this chapter? I’ve still not shown up again.

Duo: Nothing much happens in this chapter. Can we move to the next one?

Heero: Idiot. A lot happens in this chapter.

Duo: Fine, but it’s a lot of boring.

Relena: I liked it.

Hilde: Man, Zef, you are turning me into one seriously pushy broad.

Duo: Oh, like that wasn’t a possibility all along?

Hilde: I would never threaten Heero like that!

Wufei: Only because he would’ve killed you.

Quatre: Or at least glared you to death.

Heero: I’m more tolerant these days.

Duo: Face it, Hilde, you would’ve been thinking it.

Hilde: Yeah, well, the visual... yipes.

Zefyr: I thought it was rather inspired.

Duo: It was something, alright.

Zefyr: So that wasn’t boring, right?

Relena: And Hilde, you got your wish – leather!

Hilde: I liked that part.

Wufei: So did I.

Quatre: I liked Trowa in this chapter.

Trowa: *pleased*

Duo: I got to kick minor ass, but then I disappear. Zefyr, what are you doing over there?

Zefyr: Writing.

Duo: Well, write me back into the story!

Zefyr: The whole damn story is about you. Shut up.

Heero: Hah! I’m having an influence!

Duo: Idiot.
