Name: Fuyu no Akegata, Winter's Dawn

Currently living in rural southwestern Oklahoma

I stay busy in real life. Yaoi fanfiction is my little hobby (obsession) that keeps me sane.

Several of my Naruto fanfics are set in Hatochan's Tolerant Intolerance universe. Her work is here... my stories make a lot more sense if you have at least a passing familiarity with her work :) Hato has a LiveJournal community where we have posted ALL the TI stories in one place, including the ones too risque for FFnet. It's the Naruto_TI LJ Community. Membership is not required for the Naruto TI Livejournal Community except for the NC-17 fics. YOU MUST BE 18 and have your age listed in your profile and not have a blank journal, or Hato won't add you; LJ has some strict policies on things like that, and I really don't want our hard work lost because of minors reading what LJ says they aren't supposed to, yet. Their rule, not ours. Along those lines, My AFF page for the smut that's too explicit for here... Fuyu no Akegata's AFF page

I have a few stories unposted at FFnet. Me in Honey is in the TI universe and posted at Adult Fanfiction Net. It's an explicit look at Iruka's early sexual education with Genma. Me in Honey

I also have a KakaIru PWP at AFF. Unchained

I got a lot of good responses to Hands:Happy Birthday, Kakashi. The idea kept poking at me and so I'm adding a few more chapters as the inspiration strikes, so it is now (I know, yet another, sigh) a WIP multi-chapter fic called With These Hands, exploring some of Kakashi's personal anniversaries through Iruka's eyes.

Before the Journey and the Rest, here at Fanfiction Net, deals with what happens when Iruka's surprise for Kakashi goes badly wrong... I haven't abandoned it, it's just resting for a bit as I recover from some real life issues, to include personal illness, ongoing bad health in my parents, and adopting a newborn.

Song for a Winter's Dawn can be taken as a prequel to Before the Journey and the Rest, showing some glimpses of Kakashi's childhood and why he reacts in certain ways, but you don't need to be familiar with the TI series to enjoy it. There's lots of Minato/Kakashi interaction in the fic. I'm slowly reworking the story to be a stand alone fic.

I am also writing a prequel to Hatochan's excellent Playing Doctor (hosted over at AFF), called Shouldering the Blame.

And I probably haven't taken near enough time to tell each of you that read and leave intelligent, well-thought-out reviews just how much I appreciate them and you, but they really do keep me writing. Every time I wonder if maybe I didn't quite get the story across like I wanted to, within a day, one of you says something helpful and constructive that makes it all worthwhile :)

My fics AREN'T abandoned. I'm just hibernating a bit while I deal with real life and re-do some of them in my head and get to a place where I feel I can do them proper justice again.
