Midnight Oil is complete!

Today, I posted the final chapter of my story for Lemony Shenanigans!

Read it here:

You had prepared for this self appointed mission for months. And damn it all to hell if Trowa Barton screwed it up.

But things were never easy when it came to him, were they?

Need by @bettertasting

Trowa and Heero find a way to blow off some steam.

To fuel a flame, chapter 2 by LCMann

Taking place after his attempt of destroying the Lunar Base and returning to the colonies, Duo finds himself with the unlikeliest of companions before his return to his mobile suit and mission. But what starts as simple cohabitation grows into something more complicated and uncertain.

Appointments with Ink and Death, chapter 4 by @angelselene

It starts as a whim. Duo Maxwell needs money; Zechs Merquise has it. For a more than fair price, Duo is willing to perform for Zechs, who has always been a little curious about the L2 pilot.

Appointments bare not only skin, but words and history, and Duo goes from an idle—if enticing—curiosity to a puzzle, a fascination.

And then he becomes a person Zechs finds he desperately wants to keep.

Spotlight Friday

Very soon the event will kick off! We can’t wait to see what everyone one has been working on! It’s Friday again, so time to put two more of our creators in the spotlight!

AngelSelene

Where can we find you? (Ao3, FFN, Tumblr, etc?)

AO3 and Tumblr.

Who is your favorite character?

Duo Maxwell

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Deathscythe Hell

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

Ep. 19 - Assault on Baruji - it's the ep where Heero should kill Duo and instead saves him. One of my favorites in the show.

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

I was just starting to get into BL and yaoi, and stumbled across the fanfiction for Gundam Wing (waay back in say 2000-2001). It was still a favorite among my subtitling group (who were doing Gundam X at the time), so I started watching. I'm stupid weak for long-haired pretty boys, so Duo stole my damn heart. Far too long later, still an all-time favorite.

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

Contribute - Writing. Consume - fic first, but art and meta are also welcome!

What is your favorite trope?

I'm a damned sucker for soulmate AUs. I swear, I *will* be writing... *checks list* a bunch. Sooner or later. I'm probably best known for crossovers though (which I also love dearly).

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

Tornadoes and Constellations

Because when I came back to posting in early 2020, the thing I promised myself is that anything I started to post, I had to finish. T&C is the first longfic I finished since I was 13, the one I proved to myself that I *could* finish long works. It'd be a point of incredible pride for that alone, but I'm also extremely proud of the plots that play out in the chapters (chapter 4 in particular), and also where I first really started digging into my Spacer culture. It holds an incredibly special place in my heart, and I think it always will.

Alphaikaros

Where can we find you? (Ao3, FFN, Tumblr, etc?)

You can find me mostly in Twitter(@Cheesetenie) and in Tumblr(alphaikaros), I do also have my Pixiv (alpha-ikaros). I do have an AO3 account, but I rarely visit it.

Who is your favorite character?

I'm going to be a little biased on this lol sorry! ... My favorite ones are mostly the GW ladies, but I guess its Relena, because she's the easiest one for me to draw.

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Wing Zero EW version, and Tallgeese III. Those wings are just *chef's kiss*

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

I guess Heero's flashback in EW, Heero and Relena close-up talk before the final battle, and of course Heero landing on Relena's breasts towards EW's ending

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

I had a huge crush on Heero, Quatre and Zechs

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

Since I mostly draw, I prefer to contribute fanarts. I do like to read fics whenever possible, or when I found some of my favorite genre/AUs

What is your favorite trope?

Arrgh this is hard... I usually go by those typical "Shoujo" tropes like Cool, Mysterious character vs. Bubbly, cheerful character, Highschool AUs, Beach scenarios, Festival scenarios.

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

Oh gosh... My most proud works are my Halloween 2021 fanarts!

Who is your favorite character?

Triton Bloom (aka Trowa Barton/No Name)

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Sandrock

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

*cries* It's a toss up between when Tro cries after blowing up Deathscythe, or when Cathy punches him for attempting to self-detonate.

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

Toonami... >_>

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

I prefer writing things for it, but I super enjoy seeing everyone's art.

What is your favorite trope?

Single Parent

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

Midnight Oil, Chapter 2 by @bobo-is-tha-bomb

But things were never easy when it came to him, were they?

You Find Shelter Somewhere In Me by @meggie-stardust

He already knows this is a liability. He knows that this connection to the other man will be a problem; hell, it’s probably already a problem because he just can’t bring himself to walk away. And walking away is the one thing he’s always done: away from his old life, away from that other Gundam pilot who tried to be his friend, away from the circus. Maybe it’s because he knows that Heero could also just as easily walk away and the fact that he hasn’t means something.

Maybe the moment he picked up Heero’s body, busted and bruised and maybe already gone, that it was already too late for him.

OR: Five times Heero and Trowa frantically hooked up during the war, and one time they got to take things slow.

Spotlight Friday

Time is flying by so fast! In two days the event will kick off! Are you as excited as we are?

It’s time to put two more of our wonderful creators in the spotlight!

Meggie-Stardust/Wreck

Where can we find you? (Ao3, FFN, Tumblr, etc?)

AO3: Wreck; Tumblr: meggie-stardust

Who is your favorite character?

Treize

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Deathscythe

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

I love every moment that Treize gets to be extra, up to and including his death, but also the moment when Epyon is revealed to to be wearing kneehigh boots and holding a whip. Just chef's kiss.

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

Back in the day I had a crush, and they started watched GW, so I did, too. And then I started looking stuff up and then I found the old GW Addition message boards and discovered fic and the rest is history. But that that was also like 22 years ago! So the rest of the story goes, at the end of 2020, a friend and I decided to rewatch the series for the first time since the early 2000s, and I got sucked back in. And here I am!

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

I write fic, and I write silly shitposts. In terms of consuming, I love all contributions to fandom. Every one brings their own thing to the table, and it is such a gift for everyone else.

What is your favorite trope?

Specific to GW? I love me a good safe-house fic. And I am a big fan of post-war, everyone works for the Preventors.

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

My Lemony fic from last year, and the first major GW thing I'd written since taking a 15 year break from GW. It's a 1x2x3 with multiple POV's and I can't believe I actually finished it! https://archiveofourown.org/works/31357937/chapters/77541641

Dhampir

Where can we find you? (Ao3, FFN, Tumblr, etc?)

AO3

Who is your favorite character?

Most likely Duo, but honestly all the boys are near and dear to me.

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Deathscythe, I love the look so much and the scythe is so cool. He was the first Gundam I saw when I started watching and I was intrigued from that moment forward.

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

When Duo breaks Heero out of the base towards the beginning of the series. I don't know why that scene was so poignant to me, but it's the scene that always comes back to me when I think about Gundam Wing.

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

I didn't even know about Fanfiction at the time, it wasn't until almost ten years after watching Gundam Wing that I discovered Fanfiction, but it was one of the first series I checked out as soon as I discovered it and I was amazed at how great the writing was and the stories people came up with. I wanted to try it myself after reading and haven't left since!

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

Fiction, I'm in awe of those who can draw, but I can't draw at all.

What is your favorite trope?

I used to be a die-hard 1x2 and 6x2 fan, but some great writers have made me love practically all the pairings possible.

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

Oh man, that's hard. I guess I would say Sum Tuus, it's my longest fic and fairly dark, but I had so much fun with it too. I'm so proud of it because it wasn't the easiest to write, but I finished it and loved watching the characters evolve and change as they got older. It was one of the first times I wrote from a first person POV, which was a new experience, and I discovered I really enjoy it!

Spotlight Friday (uh… Sunday)

Things went a little awry with this week’s Spotlight Friday post! TT__TT

But we didn’t want to keep it from you, so here it is!

Noirangetrois

Where can we find you? (Ao3, FFN, Tumblr, etc?)

Ao3 and tumblr: noirangetrois, Twitter: and22polarbears

Who is your favorite character?

Duo Maxwell

Which is your favorite Gundam?

Deathscythe - the original, not Deathscythe Hell

What is your favorite episode or scene from Gundam Wing? (Show, movie, or manga)

I have to go with the scene where Duo shouts "Nooooo!" in anguish after Trowa destroys Deathscythe. Love me some good Duo angst.

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

Watching the show on Cartoon Network back in the day.

Which type of fandom media do you prefer to contribute? And to consume? (art, fics, metas, etc.)

I write fanfiction primarily (though I have written meta as well). I probably love to consume fic the most as well, simply because it gives me all those feels.

What is your favorite trope?

Fake relationship.

Shamelessly plug the work you are most proud of and the reason why!

Of The Sea, my 1x2 merfolk AU that I've been working on since 2017. It's been slow going but I've managed to weave a fairly intricate plot using multiple POVs (22 and counting!) and a huge cast but still kept a strong focus on the interactions between Duo and Heero. You can find it on my Ao3.
