Well, it's been awhile, hasn't it? To those who have seen me before, celebrate! I'm back. To those who are viewing me for the first time, Hi! How ya doin? I'm not making any promises this time around because I'm so terrible at keeping them, and it really just makes me feel guilty. I've looked over everything I've already started, but I'm only seriously working on an ending to Surprises and Tribulations as seen as there is one tantalizing chapter left to go and I have been promising its delivery to Rose and -thejasonresno for wayy too long now! In the mean time you might see a oneshot or two pop up, if they decide to be written, but again, I'm only here to have fun. I've spent the year writing scripts in my theatre classes so I am kinda reintroducing myself to writing normal prose. You know, with descriptions and stuff. Heh! I just hope the lack of practice hasn't made me suck! (writing only essays and scripts can really make a person rusty!) Anywho, I'm only really gonna be paying attention to Gundam for now, though I do have an outline for an interesting Stargate fic (SG-1 of course). Maybe once I get a pattern or something going I can turn my eye to other fics, but Gundam is the one I'm most familiar writing for (as you can see). Kay, that's all. I just really wanted to say 'hi'! And drop me a line, if you like. I'm quite friendly!

Fool

Hello everyone. This is Honourable Fool. Some of you may recognize me as gundamgurl84, bLACk_ANgeL, or Tsukiko Hikari. I took a few years hiatus not all that long ago and am now back to continue writing fanfictions. I am concentrating all my efforts only on Gundam Wing right now and most of what I will be writing will concentrate on remaining true to the "heart" of the characters and exploring dynamics of relationships between them. I am a college student working towards becoming a creative writing major. My desire is to one day publish under my real name my own original fiction, but for now I will be exploring, expanding, and exercising my skills on this site in the presence of you all. I want you to be critical about my writing style, what does and does not work. Be completely nit-picky if you have to; rush out those flame throwers and roast me alive! It may seem odd but I've found that the best way to improve upon my skills is right here. It is up to you guy's to force me to always be honest to the characters' hearts, to put them into challenging situations, to explore them and what I can do with them. Push me and I can only improve! I see writing as a sacred art, one that should be allowed to flow creatively. Devoting yourself entirely to it, to improving yourself to do it justice, is an admirable and honourable thing. I go about it subversively, but my every attempt here is to challenge and improve myself. I promise to always push you to write your best, not just for the anime and characters you write about, but for yourself and the words you seek to use, for the stories you try to tell. However I will never be mean and will always try to phrase things constructively. I will also always joke with you when I review you. In fact, this is probably the most serious you will see me! Now, enough about me and on to updates on all my beloved stories!

I now have an account on aff.net where I can "blow off steam" if you know what I mean. _~ Most of it is 'Yasha stuff, totally PWP, but I will also be putting up alternate chapters to Lessons in Trust there as later on it gets fairly, er, explicit. I am providing a link to my profile page below, but I beg you, if you are under 18 or know for any other reason that you should not be viewing adult content of that nature, please do not go. I will not be held responsible for any decision that may alter or scar young minds. My writing over there is very graphic at times and I do not believe it should be viewed by anyone who is not fully prepared to read about and fully aware of such acts. I DO NOT encourage you to go to that site if you are underage or otherwise unfamiliar with or unable to handle sexual situations. This is for mature readers only! Please respect that. Thank you.

Surprises and Tribulations: A Duo/Hilde fic, romantic of course. I won't tell you anything about it, I'll just make you read it! I've been promising an ending for ages and I believe I'm getting close to having one. The possible epilogue is gonna be a seperate fic (I've decided) but I won't post it till I'm done with this one. I'm working on it!

Thermolabile Thespians: A new series of oneshots I'm doing, all prompted and out of order... they're fun. Some will be romantic, others about family or friendship, hopefully a few of them will be unorthodox. As far as I can see they'll all be nonsequitor, but I'll let you know if any of them will be continuing. I'm preparing my first five before posting, each with a different Gundam pilot and his own particular lady, though they aren't nec. romantic. The title is actually pretty funny, though I may have finally gone too far and picked one that's too weird. You tell me. I might still change it before I post anything. We'll see.

Of Friends and Lovers: Part two of my oneshot Of Lovers and Brothers dedicated to Cinnamon Selkie. I'm having some trouble starting it, but as soon as I do... you'll know.

On Hold:

Living Dreams: the story of Heero and Relena in an AU in which they struggle with life and love and somehow have to find one another from half a world away. If anyone knows someone or would like to beta this themselves...

A Week to Remember: Status hasn't really changed. I'm still trying to get the first chapter not to suck, essentially, before I send it for beta-ing. Grrrr!

Relena And...: 4/5 complete. A series of oneshots that feature Relena and... well, the 'and' part changes in every fic. These fics aren't so much about the story but more about exercising my technique and trying things I don't always do well on. Also some of them may be about character exploration. Three of these are already published and I'm sure more will come. Mostly these are late-night, spur of the moment things, and aren't necessarily fantastic either.

Ideas Fermenting:

Icon: an AU idea for Heero and Relena that takes place far into the future. The world long ago abandoned technology for reasons no one is sure of and is now trying to regain what knowledge its lost. In the middle of a Cold War a group of Religious zealots stage a coup and kill nearly all the government leaders. Relena, the Foreign Minister meant to encourage peace talks between her nation's leader and their rival nation's, is forced to flee the capitol with her stoic bodyguard and live in hiding. They pretend to be a married couple in the country side to protect her until their government can reclaim the nation, but what happens when weeks turn to months and months to a year and still the zealots have control? Plus the strenuous peace she had negotiated with their rivals begins to fall apart...

Once Upon a Time: Inspired by Miss Megaboo's "Their Fairytale" this is an idea in which all our favorite gundam boys sit down and tell fairytales about the people they met and fell in love with during the war in a "Once upon a time" fashion. I already have Heero's and Duo's stories, and I'm working on the rest. Some are romantic, others about friendship, some characters have multiple tales based on them ending up with different partners. Maybe even some shounen-ai...

Dealing in Arms: and a few other similar ideas. Just a couple ideas I had thinking about Wufei and wanting to get to the core of his character. All are 5xS and some end romantically, others are just stories of the two of them connecting. May or may not write them.

When You Were Young: a songfic with Duo and Hilde. When Duo goes away to help out the Preventers leaving his girlfriend at home she starts to miss him a little more each day. But when months begin to pass and Commander Une isn't able to give her any details she starts to despair. What happens when a mysterious man who reminds her of Duo starts showing up at the yard? What are his intentions? And why doesn't Shini like him? Set to the song "When You Were Young" by The Killers.

The Golden Chain: A few years after EW Heero has become Relena's officialy bodyguard. One night they cross the boundries of their relationship and suddenly find themselves in each others embrace. But Heero leaves before anything can actually happen, disappears and is never heard from again. A few years later she has finally stopped crying over him, but does she still love him? Can she ever forget him? Perhaps in the arms of another she can find the love he never could give her. Perhaps Quatre can make her forget. Perhaps Quatre can love her as Heero was unable to. But does she love him too?

The 7 Ways: Title is incomplete. The 7 ways to say "I Love You", a Relena/Heero fic... And it's all about their love! Gushy? Yess! Inspired originally by Zapenstap and her fic Final Mission Status (which is amazing!) We'll see what happens.

I know /insert groan/ how can I claim to be concentrating on my In Works with so many things Fermenting? I can't help it! I just sit here and ideas come. I write them down but I don't do too much for them. Actually, I started to do the most for Sally and Wufei but I didn't write much on them. Still, they're just sitting, floating in my head. Some of them will probably end up being abandoned, but I thought I'd show you what was happening in my head. Dunno why. I just hate keeping stories to myself, you know? Anyways, if there's anything you like the sound of let me know. Or you can prod me in the a-- to get a move-on with what I've promised you guys. Or you can just send me a hello or whatever. Or not, that's fine too.

Now I must get back to planning my revenge so those stupid gremlins never steal my metaphorical pen again! /cackles evily/ Heero, get out Zero and call the guys! This means war!
