#I’m proud of this one so I’m shamelessly sharing it 😭

Based on Austin by Blake Shelton

All this time and he still knows the number by heart. He types it in so easily, but damn did the last digit have to be a zero — so close to the call button. His trembling hands betray him by starting the call before he has a chance to think anything over. “Dammit,” he hisses and is about to hang up, but he doesn’t and he hears it begin to ring. Once, twice, then on the third it cuts off halfway through and he hears the sickly sweet and oh too familiar voice.

“Aw man, you have unfortunately reached me at a bad time and my phone is off. Which either means it’s Monday, Tuesday or Thursday and I’m tied up in classes. Or it’s Wednesday and I’m tied up meetings with my moms team. So leave me a message and I’ll do my best to get back to you on Friday. Later!” Henry was about to end the call when he heard; “Oh and PS, if this is Kensington… I still love you.”

Spotlight Friday

It’s that time of the week again! Without further ado, we’d like to introduce…

Iruusu

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

iruusu on ao3, @judaru on tumblr, and @sinjuism on twitter 🙇🏻‍♀️

Who is your favorite character?

Duo!! And it’s not even close, I love him 🥺 He is so pretty and kind, but also brave and strong… I am so proud of him 🤧

Which is your favorite Gundam?

At risk of sounding like a fake fan but I’m not really… a connoisseur of mecha LMAO, so I don’t really have a favorite! But I like Deathscythe and Sandrock, maybe? The shotels are cool…

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

I liked when Heero and Duo went to school together! I thought that was really cute!! (I like low conflict stuff, I guess 😪 their slice of life moment…)

What got you into the Gundam Wing fandom?

Well, I survived quarantine (2020) with my sanity intact, but quarantine 2 electric boogaloo (2021) actually pushed me over the edge 😭

I literally saw one tweet in like March about how old gw official art had insane homoerotic energy, and I was like ??? I need to see this. And then I spent the next 2 months consuming more fanfic than I’ve ever read in my entire life 😪

So I’ve only really been into gw for like a year, but it came at a point when I really needed smth to keep going. So I am grateful!! 🥺💕

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

I really love reading fanfic!! A lot of old fics in this fandom seem to have been lost, which is so unfortunate, but a lot of what remains is so good 🥺 And creators are still cranking out such amazing content!! I’m so grateful 🥺 I am fed 🤲🏼

In terms of my own content creation, I like to draw fanart and write fanfic, but I’ve been on a bit of a block lately 🤧 Here’s hoping I can pull myself together before the event!! 🤩

What is your favorite trope?

Omg, there are so many 😳 I really love angsty, hurt-comfort stuff (so long as there is a happy ending! 🥺). Other favs include arranged marriage, and things like sharing a bed 😌

But I think one of my biggest ones is omegaverse. It’s a guilty pleasure and there’s not nearly enough of it in this fandom (yet!!!) but I really love it!

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

Kiss of Death is the only GW fic I’ve written so far, but I really am proud of it 🥺 It’s a 1x2 omegaverse fic, with some angst, mutual pining, (and… porn… LOL 😭) It’s one of my first attempts at a smutty fic, and while there’s definitely a ton of room for growth, I think it came together pretty well for what it is 😌
