| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) | comment |
Birds of a Feather by Solid Shark is a Gundam SEED fanfic that takes place in an Alternate Universe where there was a sixth Super Prototype under construction at Heliopolis, and where former ZAFT Ace Pilot and Strategist Kenneth "Falcon" DiFalco joins the Archangel's crew as part of a wider plan he's running... one that will end the stalemated war...One of the recommended fanfics for tropers, and possibly one of the most popular Gundam SEED fanfics around, Birds of a Feather takes the existing SEED setup and looks at it in a different light, while succeeding in telling an entertaining story that rivals canon. The author has described it as Ace Combat meets SEED, with a dash of Metal Gear and Honorverse levels of scheming.Is followed by a sequel, Cry of the Falcon, an AU of Destiny, and a prequel, Soldier of ZAFT, covering Ken's ZAFT career before Birds of a Feather began. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Ken's trust issues and willingness to use drastic methods eventually results in a near-fatal duel between Ken and Kira. Circumstances intervene and they reconcile, though they never entirely agree on methods. Also occurs just after Operation Spit Break, when damage to Preybird cuts the connection between its reactor and Ken's artificial heart (see Gamebreaking Injury). Not having informed the Archangel crew of the infirmity, he goes into cardiac arrest and nearly dies before someone who does know arrives to assist. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Rather than the brief, fairly unimportant piloting opportunity she gets in canon, here Cagalli enters the fight as early as the Desert arc, acting as Ken's gunner during the battles against the Waltfeld team. Moreover, she gets her own mobile suit much earlier, acquiring the Strike Rouge in time for the Earth Alliance attack on Orb. | |

Ascended Fanboy: In-universe example with Shinn in Cry of the Falcon; here he's an admirer of the Grimaldi Falcon, and when he finds out that he gets to fly with Ken in combat... he doesn't quite squee, but the hero worship is obvious. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Ken has a tendency toward long-winded speeches. This is not a gag by itself, but rather the frequent lampshading by other characters and his own obliviousness any time someone points it out. | |

The Dreaded: To some extent, several of the top aces of the old True ZAFT. An example on the Earth Alliance front appears to be Major Karen Willet, who shut up and cowed even trigger-happy Oscar Goldberg just by showing up and uttering a few harsh words. | |

Break the Haughty: Falcon begins the series in full confidence in himself and his abilities. Subsequent events do much to strip him of this, leaving Ken a wiser person at the end of BoaF. (Refer to What the Hell, Hero?, Omniscient Morality License and Nice Job Breaking It, Hero). | |

| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_2d9a193d | comment |
Warrior Therapist: Several characters, including Ken himself. Sometimes backfires, though; in Cry of the Falcon, he's successfully taken Shinn under his wing—so far, at least—but in Birds of a Feather, the results of espousing a philosophy very different from the person he's talking to are shown in his duel with Kira at Jachin. | |

| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_2dddd99d | comment |
As an example, the Earth Forces assassination team in Cry of the Falcon have no problems with assassinating a former head of state and his daughter, but draw the line at killing children, even if it risks blowing their False Flag Operation. | |

Custom Uniform: Instead of the white coat and uniform worn by ZAFT Commanders, Ken prefers to wear the red uniform and a Badass Longcoat. The Gray Demons have a subtler modification, using feathers on the collar of their uniforms & flightsuits. | |

Gratuitous German: The inscriptions on the Gray Demons' swords are all in German, albeit probably with atrocious grammar, being the product of online translator programs. (The author originally wanted Elvish, but was unable to find translations for many of the required words.) | |

You Have Failed Me | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_474e3977 | comment |
You Have Failed Me: As something of a nod to the character's canonical... lack of total competence -at least compared to his predecessor from SEED- this happens to Lord Djibril after a particularly spectacular debacle that not only fails to achieve its objective, but actually results in some of the Earth Forces' own units being nuked by one of their own weapons. Cue summary execution. | |

Super Prototype | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_5e782d0c | comment |
Super Prototype: Subverted. Ken is a pseudo-prototype of the Ultimate Coordinator project, born of the artificial womb as part of a related project with differing goals. As Cry of the Falcon reveals, however, he's degenerating on the genetic level, and was not expected to reach adulthood; he's beaten the odds, but will never be as effective as he once was, and continues to slowly slip behind the capabilities of the "final product", Kira. | |

| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_608bf5a0 | comment |
Shoot the Hostage: When an enemy captures Ken and Preybird just before 2nd Jachin, Ken tells Kira to shoot him and kill the enemy; Kira decides to Take a Third Option. While everyone goes home safely, Ken believes that Kira doesn't have the resolve to see events to their conclusion, and Kira believes that Ken's become a fanatic. The fallout from this directly leads into their abortive duel at Jachin. | |

Badass Normal: Sophia DiFalco, Ken's Natural sister, who manages to hold her own despite being outgunned for most of BoaF. Major -later Colonel- Karen Willet is another. She's trained her body to Coordinator levels, sort of like Rock Lee from Naruto. She's actually able to use a Coordinator-type OS. | |

No Sense of Direction | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_69987960 | comment |
No Sense of Direction: Having been born in space, with little time spent on Earth, Ken is almost incapable of navigating on planet in daylight without computer assistance. This leads directly to the fic's version of Cagalli's first meeting with Athrun, as she has the bad luck of being in Ken's mobile suit when it takes damage to its navigational systems in the middle of the Indian Ocean. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: In the Backstory, Ken was in a position to shoot down the Mobius carrying the nuclear missile that destroyed Junius Seven, and missed. This, of course, led directly to the next candidate for his greatest failure, in which his efforts to prevent a repeat of the situation ended with him handing a Wave-Motion Gun capable of frying most of Earth's surface to Patrick Zala. | |

Bigger Stick | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_6fb7cf97 | comment |
Bigger Stick: Ken seeks for, and attains, the biggest stick in mecha technology... and then gets it blown halfway to scrap metal in its first major engagement. The Earth Forces and ZAFT learn from his example in Cry of the Falcon, constantly attempting to one-up each other. In Cry of the Falcon, ZAFT's latest toy is the TRVF-51 Fianna, a variable fighter. Section Nine goes for the TRVF-51A model with nuclear reactors, N-Jammer cancelers and VPS to have a bigger stick... and because the full-spec Fianna is more complex than the basic Fianna & thus has a longer assembly time, they can only deploy four units in the time it takes for ZAFT to deploy two squadrons. | |

The War Sequence: The attack on Section Nine's planetary headquarters in Cry of the Falcon. Probably the most violent event in the series thus far, standing out in a 'verse usually focused on the relatively bloodless combat of Humongous Mecha battles. | |

Expanded Universe | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_7ef9fa03 | comment |
Expanded Universe: A few authors have played with the Falconverse setting and certain elements have been canonized: Cry Of the Falcon. Solid Shark's sequel to BoaF, covering the events of the Destiny period. Soldier of ZAFT. A prequel to BoaF, intended to cover Ken's time in ZAFT, leading up to BoaF. It's on the back burner while CotF is being worked on, but the author intends to complete it. Rebellion, by Ominae. Set in the interquel period between SEED and Destiny (Or rather, Birds of a Feather and Cry of the Falcon), detailing a rebellion within the Equatorial Union against the EA leadership. Canonized in broad strokes. That story is only slightly connected to the Falconverse as far as its own continuity is concerned. The only Falconverse element to appear is Ken's sister Sophia. In the Falconverse, Rebellion is -with broad strokes- canon, but within Rebellion the Falconverse isn't quite that connected although it is. Beware The Left Eye, by Wild Goose. A pair of sidestories focused on CotF side character Saito, with shoutouts to Full Metal Jacket and Ghost in the Shell. Considered fully-compliant with Falconverse canon. March to the Future, an AU Time Travel fic by Wild Goose, featuring characters from Beware The Left Eye as Shell Shocked Veterans thrown back to the start of BoaF by a freak accident, and trying to survive the past while trying to keep the plot from running off the rails. Owaru Day by Day by Ominae. It's a fic based on Richard Yamato Chung, Kira's Japanese-Chinese-Filipino cousin after he was recruited by Ken in Section 9. He gets more action for a while than in some of the chapters in BOAF, leading some of the S9 officers after Orban special forces launch the initial attack on S9 headquarters. Even the infiltration stage of the commandos is based on the End of Evangelion when JSSDF commandos launch a raid on NERV headquarters. The author admits that he got carried away with the character crossovers. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When you get right down to it, almost every single problem Ken has was his own fault. He deserted ZAFT after accidentally creating a Wave-Motion Gun capable of destroying the Earth, suffered severe injury from his former subordinate Victor Tempest out of a misplaced desire to finish the poor bastard "honorably", and almost got himself killed and his mission catastrophically failed through his unwillingness to talk things over with Kira. And, as if that weren't enough, creating the weapon to rectify the first mistake resulted in an arms race that, as of the sequel, has pretty much destroyed the technological advantages that allowed his small group to be so effective. Oops. | |

Retcon: No, Kira and Cagalli are not related to each other. Why do you ask? A retcon that caused the author to nearly tear his hair out several times, and finally resulted in him having a character with the requisite knowledge state outright that Kira and Cagalli were not related. A reviewer of some note promptly assumed the author was, rather than attempting to put an end to controversy, trying to be sneaky. To be fair, there's a certain degree of Incest Subtext in early interactions between Kira and Cagalli in canon, before the Squick Tease revalation that they were related. One wonders if this influenced the writers of Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Double, both which featured significant Ship Tease that turned into Squick Tease at the reveal of blood relationships. Though there are some who don't care the characters are related... | |

| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_b7248073 | comment |
My Country, Right or Wrong: A major theme of the Falconverse as a whole. Of the major characters, many struggle with the implications of remaining loyal to nations whose actions become increasingly extreme. Some decide all they can do is fight as honorably as they can themselves, while others abandon their previous allegiances entirely. A handful in between decide loyalty to the military is not the same as loyalty to the nation said military protects, and take the view that they can best protect the nation by breaking with the military. Such a viewpoint is, in fact, what kicks off the entire story. | |

Shrouded in Myth: Ken's master Sasaki Kojirou, who uses an obvious pseudonym and appears to be more than meets the eye. His only explanation: "I wasn't always a ronin." | |

I Have No Son! | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_c132c0c5 | comment |
I Have No Son!: Patrick Zala says almost the exact words to Athrun at Jachin Due. Them being almost the last words Athrun hears from his father probably contributed to his subsequent attempt at blowing himself up with Le Creuset. Also Rear Admiral Charles Kreitzman of the Earth Forces, in reference to his Coordinator son. This eventually leads to his death, when the embittered son rams his ship into the father's at Mendel. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: Athrun attempts this with Le Creuset at Jachin, via nuclear meltdown. Fortunately, allies arrive and convince him to retreat and survive. ZAFT Captain Kyle Kreitzman rammed his ship, the Nacht Jaegar, into the Independence, in order to take his father, who is an Earth Alliance Rear Admiral, down with him. That said, Kyle ensured that his crew have abandoned ship before performing the deed. | |

Colonel Bad Ass: Technically a Commander, but arguably Rau Le Creuset.

The Chessmaster: Ken, fullstop. The man is always running one plan, and has at least two backups. He's only caught off-guard three times in the fic. Doesn't quite qualify for Magnificent Bastard status, though, if only because when his plans do fall apart, so does he. | |

Ship Tease: Early in Birds of a Feather, between Ken and Miriallia Haw. The former, being largely oblivious doesn't even notice until it's pointed out later. Ironically, the latter gets caught up in an assassination attempt on someone else in the sequel due to having come back to Orb for the former's wedding to Murrue Ramius. | |

| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Ken's Mid-Season Upgrade, the Preybird, is an expy of the Gundam X. In Cry of the Falcon, the Earth Alliance's Project Zeta brings forth the Zeta, Nova and Sigma - expies of the Zeta, GP02, and F91. Also in the same fic, Earth Forces pilots Allen C. Hamilton and Luc Bernadotte In the same fic, ZAFT drops the DOM and goes instead for the TRVF-51 Fianna, which is the SV-51 of Macross Zero. Ken himself is also a partial expy of the Honorverse's Victor Cachat, whose signature traits ended up defining the final version of Ken (who went through several incarnations in the planning stages of the fic, and was not originally envisioned as military at all). In Cry of the Falcon, Jonas Pike and Oscar Goldberg's interactions are evocative of longsuffering Krindi Fain and aiming-impaired Erkum Pol from the Prince Roger series. (Though Goldberg's a lot more eloquent than Erkum ever was.) | |

Flanderization: Of Kira's so-called Thou Shalt Not Kill policy.

Suspiciously Specific Denial | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_e624f0e8 | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Denial: In early chapters, Ken's adoptive sister Sophia, an Earth Forces officer, repeatedly stresses that she has no space combat experience. She's an atmospheric jet fighter ace; when the Archangel breaks out the Skygraspers, Skygrasper 2 becomes Sophia's machine instead of Cagalli's - and she uses it to greater effect. Kind of Hilarious in Hindsight; the author didn't come up with that particular twist until the chapter in which it was revealed. A case of Throw It In that meshed well with established information. | |

Technician Versus Performer: Discussed in-story. Being an Ultimate Coordinator, Kira (Performer) edges out Ken (Technician) in terms of natural ability and raw talent; in terms of training, tactics and experience, the advantage goes to Ken. Events prove Ken to be the superior pilot, but it's acknowledged that given enough time and experience, Kira will surpass him, blending Technician and Performer traits. | |

Running Gag | |
| Birds of a Feather (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Any time Ken enters combat outside of his mobile suit, he will get shot. Also, in Cry of the Falcon, he never gets to use his new rifle very long; it's always destroyed almost as soon as the battle begins. Another example crosses with Black Comedy: the Earth Alliance's Fourth Fleet has been destroyed twice while attempting to carry out nuclear attacks on the PLANTs, and the Atlantic Federation's Fourth Fleet was the one humiliated in the Blockade, as shown in Soldier of ZAFT. Ken has a tendency toward long-winded speeches. This is not a gag by itself, but rather the frequent lampshading by other characters and his own obliviousness any time someone points it out. | |
