Before I lose the chance to say it forever, happy Otto Day to anyone still left in the Gundam Wing fandom! If you haven't already read
Fealty by Hope of Dawn, you truly must! And that's not just because she mentions me at the top of part 6, either. No, really. It's the sequel to
The Prince and
The Knight, which comprise the best Otto fics ever and one of the best Gundam Wing arcs of all time. No yaoi or romance, just good old-fashioned gen action adventure. One of my favorite moments is when Noin comes looking for Zechs in the hangar and Otto tells him, "Sir, your parrot is here." Bahahahahaha! Later, someone else comes looking for Zechs and Otto points him toward the hangar, saying, "Six feet of arrogance wearing a silver bucket on its head. You can't miss him." Banzai, Otto! Banzai!!
