And it's nearly over...
After a wonderful week with so many wonderful submissions, the queue is now empty and the mod will just check the tag for any more entries to reblog.
I'd like to thank everyone who participated/reblogged/liked and generally made 1x2x1 week a success. I didn't think when I first mooted the idea that there would be enough interest to run the week so I am so happy there was and had multiple pieces for each day!
Here's to next year...!

Author and URL: Amberly/amberlyinviolet Title: I’ll Be Waiting Rating: general audience Theme the piece is for: Day 7/Always You Summary: Heero’s waiting for him. Just like always.
Duo shut the door to the bedroom behind him and slumped against it, eyes closing wearily. This was not what he wanted to be doing. Not today. Today, he wanted to be alone. To sit in the garden and feel the sun on his face, smell the flowers they had planted together, years ago. They’d only started blooming this past weekend, and Heero had been looking forward to a picnic. To lying in their garden hammock with the breeze teasing their hair and the smell of roses in washing over them.
They wouldn’t get that now.
Duo clenched his jaw, sliding down the door to sit heavily on the floor. He wanted to be alone, to walk this house and touch their things with the knowledge that they weren’t “theirs” anymore. They were just “his.” Duo’s eyes stung. He stood, walking through the bedroom to sit on the edge of the bed, where Heero’s scent still lingered. He didn’t want to be here today, doing this, but Quatre had insisted. Had insisted because it would be better to do this now, to rip it off like a bandaid and let the pain gush out and cleanse but—Duo hated Quatre right now. He hated everyone except Heero—who was—
What Duo wanted to do remember was being 15, standing on a pier and watching Heero’s beautiful blue eyes widen in surprise as a bullet ripped through him. Wanted to remember being 15 and seeing Heero still alive after self-destructing, standing strong and sure in the door with a gun pointed at Duo’s forehead. Tender fingers bandaging his wounds and smoothing back his hair and the sudden melt of all that cold ice as Heero’s lips found his on Peacemillion.
Or after the war, after the Gundams were gone. The night Heero got in to medical school, clothing strewn around the living room and candles melting in their holders. The sudden, shocking silence as the door to their apartment opened and Heero bolted upright with his hair sticking up in the back. Wild laughter and indignant huffing as Wufei and Trowa shut the door, calling out that they’d be back later. To celebrate together, as a family.
It hurt, bittersweet and bruising. Duo stretched out on his side of the bed, turning to face the vacant side where Heero slept. It was cold and empty, Heero’s scent clinging to the sheets, and Duo swallowed hard as his eyes filled. Grabbing Heero’s pillow, he buried his face in it, inhaling the last remaining piece of Heero in their house. His house. Heero was gone, had died peacefully in his sleep, in this bed, and Duo’s heart ached at the loneliness he felt. The sudden empty space where Heero had once lived. He ignored the sudden presence in the room, curling tighter around the pillow. Quatre could go to Hell.
Except it wasn’t Quatre. It was Trowa, walking quietly through the room. Trowa, Heero’s best friend, who had lost his own husband just a few years earlier, when Wufei slipped easily into death sitting in his evening chair, reading a book of Chinese poetry. Who had followed quickly, heart broken by the lonliness. Only where Wufei was gone, Trowa had lingered. Duo let his presence wash over him, fingers still wound in the dull cotton fabric, accepting the dip in the bed as Trowa sat down.
“Heero would be disappointed,” Trowa said calmly, reaching out to tuck a few strands of white hair behind Duo’s ear. Frowning into the pillow, Duo glanced up at him. “You’re up here, clinging to his pillow. When you could be down there, terrifying your grand children by telling them that now Heero can watch them all the time.”
Duo grinned despite himself. Technically, they were Quatre’s grandchildren. Quatre and Relena’s children were his god children, though, and he supposed it fit. He sat up, slowly, holding the pillow on his lap, eyes red-rimmed. His lower lip quivered as Trowa took it away, gently smoothing it back over the bed, his hand closing around Duo’s on the comforter.
“It will be here, Duo. And when we leave, you can come back and wrap yourself in everything he left behind. But your family needs you right now. They need to feel your presence now, before you’re gone. And you need to say goodbye,” Trowa’s gaze was penetrating, his bright green eyes filled with a sadness Duo finally understood.
“Why did you stay? After?”
“Because I knew one of you would need help,” Trowa stood, holding out a hand for Duo. “And you’re both too stubborn to ask.”
“He’s waiting for me?” Duo’s voice quavered, cracked and weary with age.
“He’s always waiting for you. And he always will be.”
“Then let’s go say goodbye.”

Title of Piece : Disarm You
Theme: 'Disarm You' is a Heero Yuy x Duo Maxwell fanmix. It's mostly about war, being comrades in arms, and sometimes fear and lonelyness into the battle. And at least healing, support and love :)

Note: ((More fluff; I realized nearly every single one ended up almost the same…oh well, I’m weak to that kind of atmosphere T_T fluff and sap make up my lifeblood))
God, I haven’t drawn these two in years… Cellphone shot of a drawing from yesterday because I don’t own a working scanner. XD

Theme the piece is for : Homecoming
Note: ((I’m actually not sure if this is supposed to be like, one of those school “homecoming” events that…I don’t know…what they are…. or “coming home”…so I went with “coming home”??? Again, had more elaborate plans that got foiled due to lack of free time OTLLL I could never figure out if I loved the idea of one of them coming home from a mission to the other, or them going on missions together…))
Author and URL: Amberly/amberlyinviolet Title: Staycation Rating: general audience Theme the piece is for: Homecoming/Day 6. Summary: They were supposed to be on vacation. Not stuck in a Hospital room, with Heero recovering from a bomb blast. But maybe Duo could find a way to bring the Vacation to them.
“You think they’ll let me go today?” Heero’s lips were pursed, corners tugging down. Duo smoothed back his hair, pressing a kiss to his forehead as he settled on the edge of the hospital bed. It had only been three days. Three days since a bomb had been planted in the local Preventer’s office and Heero had rushed in to defuse it. They were supposed to be on vacation. They were supposed to be stretched out on a Hawaii beach relaxing, getting tans and feeding each other fruit.
They were in the hospital instead, Heero on an IV with light burns on one side his body. His hair was singed. And he was sitting in the bed pouting up at Duo mournfully, leaning in to the soft touches to his hair. Duo sighed, eyes darting to the hospital room door, then back to Heero.
“I don’t know, baby…I think they’re still worried about internal bleeding,” he sighed again as Heero’s pout deepened. His lover was the worst patient.
“I’m fine,” Heero crossed his arms over his chest, glaring up at him, and Duo hid a smile. Of course Heero was fine. Heero was always fine. Even when he was blown up, he was fine. Duo shook his head, then leaned in to brush their lips together.
“I’ll talk to the doctor. Maybe I can convince them to let us go,” Duo pulled away, lips quirking as the smile he’d been fighting finally broke free. At least they were home. They’d never even made it on the plane. The universe, Duo decided, was conspiring against their vacation. But they could at least spend the few days they had left at home.
It wasn’t hard to find the doctor and convince her that maybe her patient would do better at home. Away from the hospital, and other breakable objects. Heero was ecstatic, almost grinning as Duo brought the car around. Settled firmly in the passenger seat, Heero reached for Duo’s braid, using it to tug him in for a quick kiss.
“Thank you,” he murmured, tongue brushing his lower lip. Duo nibbled it briefly, then winked.
“The hospital beds are really too small,” he teased, waggling his eyebrows as they pulled into traffic. Heero laughed, resting his cheek on Duo’s shoulder as they drove home in companionable silence, radio playing softly in the background. He was going to have to plan something. Hawaii was supposed to be their anniversary celebration. 5 years together and Heero couldn’t imagine anyone else at his side. And Duo had been looking forward to it, to celebrating and spending time together. Time that’d been hard to come by, lately.
The house looked perfect against the blue sky. Their house, home. It would smell like them, would feel like them, and Heero couldn’t wait to get inside. To spend some quality time with Duo to make up for the botched vacation. Smiling, he climbed out of the car, twining his fingers with Duo’s as they walked up the stairs. Heero opened the door and—froze.
“SURPRISE!” it was shouted,the noise overwhelming, and Heero fought the urge to tense. Next to him, Duo was grinning, tugging Heero in and shutting the door. Everyone was there: Hilde and Relena stood together behind the couch, where they had jumped up when the door opened. Quatre stood in the doorway to the kitchen with Noin and Une, Kathy and Trowa were on the stairs, and Wufei and Zechs were peeking out from behind a giant plastic palm tree. Everyone wore a swimsuit, the ladies decked out with flower leis. There were paper lanterns up, flowers everywhere, and someone had put on what he supposed was tropical music.
“Duo…?” Heero’s brow was furrowed, looking around the room. And then his heart stopped, eyes catching on the banner strung across the kitchen. It was simple, the words “Congratulations” strung overhead with two wine glasses clinking at the end. He swallowed hard, feeling Duo tug away from his hand. Feeling movement next to him as Duo kneeled and reached into his pocket and—
“I was gonna do this in Hawaii…but you went and got blown up,” Duo teased, the slight tremor in his voice displaying his nervousness as he licked his lips. “So…what do you think, Ro? You wanna get hitched?” Heero looked around the room with a lump in his throat. They’d talked about this before, but Duo. Duo hadn’t been ready. Nowhere near ready. And now he was kneeling down in front of their friends and Heero nodded. His face split into a grin so wide his cheeks ached, nodding harder and laughing a little as Duo slid a polished ring on to his finger.
It wasn’t silver, or gold. It was Gundanium, gleaming black, and Heero’s breath caught. Duo had salvaged what parts of Deathscythe he could, holding on to the scraps of metal for something important. Something important glittered on his finger, and Heero threw his arms around Duo’s neck, lips seeking his as his fingers slid into his hair. There were strong arms around his waist, a tongue nudging his, and Heero laughed through the kiss, light and happy amongst the sound of cheering.
“Welcome home, baby,” Duo murmured, soft against his lips, before breaking away, turning to greet their family, hands clasped.
