Bridlewood Manor is an unfinished Gundam Wing fanfic by Mitsugi, with 94 chapters published between 2001 and 2004. It was very popular at the time[1]. It is a Historical AU set in Victorian England.
Author summary: The ongoing saga of a Japanese spy and an American waif, thrown together in a tapestry of espionage, romance and murder in London of the early 1900s, with the fabulous Peacecraft estate as a backdrop for their adventures.
Mitsugi cites the television series 'Upstairs, Downstairs' as an inspiration for the story in her author notes [2]
Recs & Reviews
- "If you haven't read this, you have to be very new to the fandom or have a short attention span. This fic is amazingly long and engaging and beyond charming. It is the all-time classic of Gundam Wing fanfiction, even if it is 6 chapters away from being finished and on hiatus." [3]
- Well, what can I say about this fic? Only that it's one of the best fics I've read -- ever, be it an AU or regular fic -- in any fandom. ... The attention to detail is mind-blowing, the characters all ring true to their canon counterparts (all of them, and since BW has a very large cast, this all the more amazing) and the build-up of the relationships is just... awe-inspiring. ... Bridlewood Manor is the kind of story everyone should have read. [4]
