This fanfic is awesome.
It's very sci-fi-y...and I love well written horror stories. members.tripod.com/ladybast/gwing/paradise.htm
Here is a description of the story, and below that is the Author's Note. I really recommend it.
"Paradise Landing"
On their way back from the outer colonies on board a transport shuttle, the boys stop at an abandoned resource satellite to make repairs. They're not alone.
Author's note:
My sincere apologies to Ray Bradbury. This story was inspired by his famous short story "Mars is Heaven!" which many of you will say you have never heard of, but I guarantee that you have run across it or one of its clones at some point in your life. The central theme of the story is, by and large, exactly the same as Mr. Bradbury's, but...and here is where the major deviation occurs...my own story is not only thoroughly wrapped around the Gundam Wing series, but is also about a bajillion times longer than the original which pretty much elliminates any whiff of actual plagiarism. Still, I felt it best to give this wonderful writer a mention.
Along with "Mars is Heaven!" at least three other stories (at last count) have been referred to in one form or another. Kudos to anyone who can spot them all
Warning: I can't rate this story because I'm not very good at rating. Suffice to say that there is some sexual content so anyone offended by the horizontal mambo should probably steer clear. It also becomes obvious that this story would have to be set in an Alternate (or 'Author's') Universe. Other than that, I refuse to ruin the story by telling you what happens. Bear in mind that this is a HORROR story. If it can happen in a HORROR story, it can happen here be it demonic posession, violent death, cannibalism, or possibly taxes. This means that the story is probably squicky.
And if you like strawberry milkshakes, you won't for long.
