This is my collection of Gundam Seed/Destiny ficlets and drabbles that don't fit into any of my other pairing or character specific collections. So far, most of these have been written for the livejournal community, seed(underscore)fic(underscore)test- a drabble/oneshot challenge community.
Enjoy!

Summary: A soldier always dreams of going home after the wars are over.
"So this...is home."
The home was simple, the only sign she ever fought in a war was tucked away on the top of a shelf. And surely, no average visitor would ever suspect that the brown haired woman at the door used to be a formidable warship captain. Then again, Murrue Ramius rarely had average visitors.
Sipping away at a cup of coffee, her eyes drifted from the lone white hats atop her shelf to the single photograph perched on top of the fireplace. The beautiful blue haired woman in the portrait smiled back at her, another memoir of someone dead.
She'd thought her home would be different- a warm place to share with the man she loved. But now, she shared each day with someone else who had lost their love to the war, a unique friendship formed from understanding.
If you'd told her prior to the wars that she'd be living with the infamous Desert Tiger, she would have said you were crazy. Now, the worst she faced from the former ZAFT commander was his daily attempts at a new and improved coffee brew.
This was home.
In some ways, it was empty- haunted by the ghosts of the two people both Murrue and Andy wished had lived to share the place with them. Yet- they knew deep down that both Aisha and Mwuu would have wanted them to continue to enjoy life.
And so, they lived each moment to the fullest; filling their home with treasured memories of love from the days before and a good dose of laughter and hope for the future.
Yes, Murrue thought to herself as she finished off the strange brew of coffee, The war is over and we've finally come home at last.
