My [completed] CodyWan Fic Masterlist

This is going to be a very long list of all my favorite CodyWan fics that are completed. Later on today or tomorrow I'll make another list for all of the CodyWan fics I enjoy that are currently ongoing/incomplete (because we, in fandom, need to start supporting authors during the writing process instead of only after, but that's a whole other post).

The fics are gonna be separated by Modern AU, Canon-Divergent/Canon-ish, Crack, and Canon But a Little to the Left. Full Disclaimer: this is going to be a very long list, so the triggers and descriptions will be brief--make sure you read the tags and warnings before reading!

I don't know who these authors are on tumblr, so I can't tag them, but I recommend that you guys tag them if you recognize them--because they deserve all the love <3 and I think, especially now, we need to let fic authors know that we appreciate them.

Modern AU

212th Street Coffee by thosewhowanderwithfire

Cody runs a coffee shop, Obi-Wan comes in frequently with a different members of his friends/family and Cody learns a lot about his crazy life by eavesdropping.

Obi-Wan's family life is messy, to say the least. Cody and his family work as firefighters/EMTs/etc. and Obi-Wan kinda just gets adopted into the family by constantly needing to call the firefighters/EMTs/etc.

Coruscant Story by TyeDyeBoogers

A mafia AU thing where Obi-Wan and Cody are both in different mafia families, but then they date each other pretending to be regular normal people (bc neither of them know they're in the mafia, much less different families), and then a bunch of stuff happens and drama ensues.

TW: Murder, Violence

cradle my name on your tongue by jynx

Liminal Beings by ChubbstheFish

The Reservoir

──────────────────────

1 | The Library/The Desert

──────────────────────

Masterlist | Ao3 | Next Chapter

Summary: Like every year, your Father takes you on an expedition to find Wan-Chi Tong’s lost library. This time, however, you actually get results. Results that change your life forever.

Pairing: Sokka x Reader

Gender Neutral (They/Them)

Word Count: 6,286

Warnings: Little sad can’t lie. But also! Cactus juice!!! also, im gonna go ahead and preface this now, I didn’t really write about Yue at all, im not sure how to integrate that in so … sorry Yue!

A/N: EEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to @lemkay-luminary , @sepptember , and @lunatiqez for helping me with this and proofreading!!!

You love your dad, adore him even, but his quest to find this mystical library has cost you more than you ever expected it to. And searching through the desert with no one other than him to speak to for days? Definitely not your definition of fun. But at least Misty Palms Oasis is nice enough, you suppose.

The bar you are in is dusty and the people in it make you uncomfortable. They eye you and your father as if you were food. Of course, your father didn’t even blink at them.

“Two mangoes please!” He cheerily asks the man behind the counter. The stranger pulls out two swords, making you gasp and back up, before chopping the fruit faster than you had ever seen. Half a beat passes before he hands you your smoothies. Your Father leaves two coins and then takes a drink. “These are great! What do you think?”

You cautiously take a sip. “Not bad!”

“Ahh, see! I told you we’d love it here!”

You giggle. “Don’t get too ahead of yourself now.” As you turn around, your father walks right into a young bald boy dressed in yellow and orange, spilling his drink all over him.

“No worries! I clean up easy!” He puts his fists together and.. airbends? You furrow your brows. All the airbenders were dead– well– except for the Avatar, of course. Your eyebrows shoot to the top of your forehead as you come to the conclusion that this is the Avatar.

“You’re a living relic..” Your father gapes.

“Thanks, I try.”

“An air nomad right in front of me.” He brings his hand to his chin.

“Dad.. don’t make it weird.” You whisper, grabbing his elbow.

“Professor Zei, professor of Anthropology at Ba Sing Se University.” He bows. “Tell me,” He grabs onto the young boy’s arm. “Which air temple do you hail from?”

“The southern temple.”

“Oh splendid!” Your father pulls out some sort of device and checks out the boy’s head. “Now tell me, what was the primary agricultural product of your people?”

“Uh.. Are fruit pies an agricultural product?”

“Oh.. Truly fascinating… That’s one for the journal.”

You facepalm. “You’ve made it weird.”

“So, uh, professor,” Asks another boy standing with the airbender. He wears water tribe garb and his hair is pulled up into a ponytail. You definitely don’t notice how cute he is. “You’re obviously a well traveled guy. Do you have a more current map? Ours seems to be a little outdated.”

“Certainly!” Your Father walks you all over to a big table. You slide into the chair beside him as he pulls out a map and hands it to the water tribe boy.

“What? No fire nation? Doesn’t anyone have a good map of that place?” The water tribe boy cries.

“You’ve made a lot of trips into the desert.” A young girl says. She also wears water tribe garb with her hair tied into braids.

“Unfortunately.” You mutter.

“All of them in vain, sadly. We’ve found lost civilizations all over the Earth Kingdom. But we haven’t managed to find the crown jewel,” Your father shakes his fist. “Wan-Chi Tong’s library.”

“You’ve spent years walking through the desert to find some guy’s library?” The last member of their group, a short girl dressed in Earth kingdom clothes who wore no shoes, asks.

“As I tell my child, Y/N, here, this library is more valuable than gold, little lady. It is said to contain a vast collection of knowledge, and knowledge is priceless.”

“Mm. Sounds like good times.” She replies incredulously.

“Oh it is! According to legend it was built by the great knowledge spirit Wan-Chi Tong with the help of his foxy knowledge seekers.”

“Oh… so this spirit has attractive assistants, huh?” The water tribe boy asks.

The water tribe girl pats his cheek. “I think he means they look like actual foxes, Sokka.”

“You’re both right! Handsome little creatures.” Your Father chuckles. “Wan-Chi Tong and his knowledge seekers collected books from all over the world, and put them on display for mankind to read, so that we might better ourselves.” He pulls out an image of the library. You will admit, it does look beautiful.

“If this place has books from all over the world, do you think they’ve got info on the fire nation? A map maybe?”

“I wouldn’t know. But if such a thing exists, it’s in Wan-Chi Tong’s library.”

The water tribe boy, Sokka, grins. “Then it’s settled. Aang, I do believe it’s my turn. I’d like to spend my vacation at the library!”

“Uhh, Hey! What about me? When do I get to pick?” The earth kingdom girl wonders.

“You gotta work here a little longer before you start to earn vacation time.” Sokka crosses his arms. The girl slams her cup on the table and huffs.

“Of course, there’s the matter of finding it. Y/N and I have made several trips into the Zi Huang desert and almost died each time. I’m afraid that desert is impossible to cross.” Your Father sighs.

Sokka looks at the Avatar and smirks. “Professor, Y/N, would you like to see our sky bison?”

He gasps. “A sky bison? You actually have one?” The group nod and usher you to follow them.

—

“Wow.” You murmur, looking at the bison.

“He’s a beauty, isn’t he?” You glance to your side to find Sokka standing there.

“He is. How’d you come across him?”

“My sister, Katara and I, found Aang and him frozen in ice.”

You raise your eyebrows. “Really? How long were they down there? Poor things.”

“Oh, just a hundred years.”

Your eyes widen so much you worry they’ll pop. “What?” He nods. “A hundred years? Are you serious?”

“Totally serious! But we got him out.. turns out he’s the avatar so we’ve been keeping him safe until he can defeat the fire lord.”

You giggle. “You’re keeping the avatar safe?” You snort.

“Hey!” He narrows his eyes at you. “What’s that supposed to mean? I’m strong. I’m very strong.”

You cock your head to the side. “Never said you weren’t.”

“You— You implied it!”

You giggle, covering your mouth with your hand. “I didn’t imply anything!” You walk up to your Dad, who was already on the sky bison. He offers you a hand, which you take, and then pulls you up.

Once everyone is settled, Aang takes the reins. “Yip-yip!” Before you know it, you’re in the air. You grin as you look over the side of the saddle.

“Pretty cool, right?” The water tribe girl, Katara asks, getting comfortable beside you.

“The coolest.” You whisper. “This is definitely better than walking through the desert.”

“I couldn’t even imagine having to walk all that way..”

“It was awful. I’ll be finding sand in my clothing for the rest of my life. Plus the only company I had was my Dad.” You deadpan.

She grimaces. “He seems.. nice!”

“He’s got a pure soul but.. he has tunnel vision. He gets so focused on finding the library I think he forgets I’m there sometimes.” You say with a sigh. “What about you? Sokka said you two found Aang, right?”

Katara grins and nods. “Yeah. We’re from the Southern water tribe, and one day we were out fishing and he got on my nerves.. next thing I knew there was this huge ice ball in front of us and Aang was just there.” She continues to tell you the story of how she and her friends ended up here. You hang onto every word.

“Now that’s a real adventure.” You smile. “You guys are so strong.”

“I guess. It’s really Aang who does all the hard work.” She replies sheepishly.

“Are you kidding? I’ve never even met a waterbender before! Not to mention a fourteen year old master! I can barely even lift water.”

“You’re a waterbender?” Toph asks from the other side of the saddle.

“Not a very good one.” You frown. “We’ve been on the road so long I’ve never had a teacher.”

“What about in Ba Sing Se?”

You shrug. “There aren’t any waterbending teachers there really.”

“But I thought Ba Sing Se was the biggest city in the Earth kingdom? There really aren’t any waterbending teachers?” Sokka butts in.

“No. I’ve never even seen a waterbender in Ba Sing Se. But if there was one, they’d probably only teach fighting, and that’s not what I want to learn.”

“But that’s the best part!” Sokka exclaims.

“Not to me. I’ve never had a need for fighting.”

“Lucky. Trouble seems to follow us.” Katara says, deadpanning.

“Well, you are traveling with the Avatar.”

—

A few hours pass, and you’re still sitting next to Katara. The heat has gotten unbearable. You’ve taken off the hat similar to your Dad’s that you wore, and the shawl over your shoulders, but it was still so, so hot. You have to hold yourself back from glaring at Sokka out of jealousy, who was shirtless.

“Hey look! There it is!” Toph yells, pointing out into the distance. You, Sokka, and Katara rush over beside her. You furrow your brows, seeing nothing. You all glare at her. “That’s what it’ll sound like when one of you spots it.” She grins and waves her hand in front of her face.

“It shouldn’t be this hard to spot a giant ornate building from the air.” Katara complains.

“Yeah, you’d think.” You mutter.

Sokka canvases the area with his spyglass before pointing at something in the distance. “Down there! What’s that?” Your eyes land on a tower poking out of the sand. You scoot closer to Sokka to get a better look at it, stomach churning when you accidentally brush arms with him.

Once Appa lands, your Father jumps off immediately and runs towards the tower. Everyone else gets off too, and stands in front of it.

“Forget it. It’s obviously not what we’re looking for. The building in this drawing is enormous.” You look at the drawing over Katara’s shoulder and sigh. Then everyone’s attention is stolen by what looks to be a fox carrying a scroll.

“What kind of animal is that?” Sokka asks.

“I think that was one of the knowledge seekers! Oh, we must be close to the library!” Your Father exclaims. He swings an arm around your shoulder. “This is what we’ve always dreamed of, Y/N!” You give him an awkward smile.

“No.. This is the library.” You glance over at Sokka. “Look! It’s completely buried.”

You immediately deflate. “Seriously?”

“The library is buried!?” Your Father wails. “My life's ambition is full of sand!” He falls to his knees. “Oh well. Time to start excavating. Grab a shovel, Y/N!” You facepalm.

“Actually, that won’t be necessary.” Toph places her hand on the building. “The inside seems to be completely intact, and it’s huge.”

“That foxy thing went in through a window. I say we climb up there and give it a look.”

“I say you guys go ahead without me.” Toph says, crossing her arms.

“What? Do you have something against libraries or something?” Katara asks, her hands on her hips.

“I’ve held books before, and I got to tell you, they don’t exactly do it for me.”

“Oh. Right. Sorry.” You snicker slightly.

“Let me know if they have something you can listen to.”

Once inside the library, you can’t help but marvel at the size.

“My word!” Your Father practically squeals. “The exquisite mosaic handiwork of this tile-rendered avian symbol–” He stops when he sees the look you all are giving him. “Er– Nice owl.” You hear a rustling sound from beside you guys, causing you all to dash behind some pillars. A huge owl walks up to the rope, and then turns its head all the way around to face the pillars. You slap your hand over your mouth.

“I know you’re back there.”

“Hello!” Your Father steps out from hiding and waves at the owl. “I’m Professor Zei, head of anthropology at Ba Sing Se University.” He runs up to the animal and bows.

“You should leave the way you came.” He turns to a pillar with stuffed heads on it. “Unless you want to become a stuffed head of anthropology.” Your Father rubs his neck nervously.

“Are you the spirit who brought this library to the physical world?” Sokka asks as you all walk towards the bird and your Father.

“Indeed. I am Wan-Chi Tong, he who knows 10,000 things.” He looks at all of you closely. “And you are obviously humans, which, by the way, are no longer permitted in my study.”

“What do you have against humans?” Aang asks.

“Humans only bother learning things to get the edge on other humans, like that firebender who came to this place a few years ago, looking to destroy his enemy. So,” He leans down close to Sokka who sweats anxiously. “So who are you trying to destroy?”

“What!? No, no, no, destroying? We’re not into that.”

“Then why have you come to my library?”

“Um.. knowledge for knowledge’s sake?” You pinch the bridge of your nose and shake your head.

“If you’re going to lie to an all-knowing spirit being, you should at least put some effort into it.”

“I’m not lying! We’re here with the Avatar, and he’s the bridge between our worlds,” Sokka grabs Aang and drags him in front of him. “He’ll vouch for me.” Sokka shoves him slightly.

“Ow! Yeah– I’ll vouch. We will not abuse the knowledge in your library, good spirit. You have my word.”

“Hm. Very well. I’ll let you peruse my vast collection, on one condition, to prove your worth as scholars, you have to contribute some worthwhile knowledge.”

Your Father pulls out a tomb he found on your last trip. “Please accept this tomb as a donation to your library.”

“First edition. Very nice.” Wan-Chi Tong nods.

You pull out a map of all the lost civilizations you and your Father found and sigh as you hand it to the spirit. “This is a map I made to help my Father and I get to the lost civilizations we’ve found from Ba Sing Se.”

“Lovely, I haven’t seen some of these names in decades.” He takes it.

“I have an authentic waterbending scroll.” Katara says, holding out for him.

“Ooh.. these illustrations are quite stylish.”

“Uh… Oh! I know!” Aang pulls a wanted poster of himself out of his shirt. “Hah!”

“I suppose that counts.”

“Oh great spirit, check this out!” Sokka says, pointing to a small rope. He quickly ties it up and reveals a flower. “Ta-da! It’s a special knot! That counts as knowledge.”

The spirit narrows his eyes. “You’re not very bright, are you?” He takes the knot. “Enjoy the library.” He then turns and jumps off the bridge, flying down countless stories.

“Bright enough to fool you.” Sokka huffs.

You walk through what seems to be a hundred different aisles before you guys finally settle in one. Aang sits down in front of a bookshelf and starts going through some pictures of extinct animals, your Father sits in a pile of book stacks, you sit beside him and grab one from one of the piles.

“Hey! Look at these weird lion-turtle things.” Aang says, holding up a picture for you guys.

“Meh, I’ve seen weirder.” Sokka walks past Aang down another aisle. Your Father quickly jumps up to follow him.

“Aang, did you know that in a past life, you were left-handed?”

“I always knew I was special.”

You put the book you were holding down and follow your dad. You see him barely balancing about ten books in his arms. Snickering, you walk past him to Sokka.

“The darkest day in fire nation history.” He reads. You stand next to him to see, the paper he’s reading from is burnt and under a glass panel. “It’s got a date at the top, but it doesn’t say anything else.” Sokka smirks and grabs a machete out of his bag. He uses it to pry the glass up and then grabs the paper.

“Really?” You raise an eyebrow at him.

He jumps. “Ah!” You laugh. A blush slowly appears on his cheeks. “Oh.. Hi Y/N! …Funny seeing you here.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell.”

“Sokka, Y/N, where are you guys going?” Aang asks, suddenly appearing behind you and Sokka with Katara, Momo, and your Father.

“I want to know what happened to the fire nation on their darkest day. This could be promising.” He turns and jogs down the aisle. You shrug and follow him with the rest of the group in tow.

“Come on! The information on the fire nation should be right up here.” You guys walk into the fire nation wing and are met with nothing but ashes.

“Firebenders.” Aang curses.

“They destroyed everything having to do with the fire nation.”

“That’s so unfair!” Sokka cries. “Just when I think I’m one step ahead of the fire nation, it turns out they beat us here a long time ago. I need to know what happened on the darkest day.” Sokka falls to the floor. You sigh, surveying the room. But a whimper from behind interrupts you, a knowledge seeker stands on its hind legs in the doorway. “Hello, weird little fox guy.” The fox gets onto all fours and points somewhere.

“It seems it’s to assist you.”

“Um.. sure. I guess I’ll follow you.” The fox takes off in a dash. You all have to run to keep up. It takes you all the way across the floor to a golden mosaic. The fox walks into a small hole in the wall and seconds later the mosaic shakes and opens revealing a dome. You guys walk in, cautiously. The fox pushes on a lever making the dome change from a bright blue sky into a starry night sky.

“This room is a true marvel, a mechanical wonder! It’s a planetarium that shows the heavens moving!”

“This is beautiful, but how is it helpful?”

“Maybe these dials represent dates and times.” Katara says, inspecting the stone in the center of the planetarium. “Sokka, try entering that date form the parchment you took.”

“Shh! Katara! Not in front of the fox!” He leans in super close to his sister. “He’s with the owl!” The knowledge seeker whimpers. Sokka peeks at the paper without pulling it all the way out. He then moves the rings on the stone so that they read the same date. He pulls the lever and the planetarium shifts.

“Wow! I gotta hand it to you, Sokka, you picked the best mini-vacation for sure.” The planetarium finally stops.

“Hey, wait! What happened to the sun?”

“Great. You must have broken it.”

“No, it’s not broken.” Sokka shakes his head.

“It’s a solar eclipse.” You provide. “Literally the darkest day in fire nation history. Firebenders draw their power from the sun, they must lose their powers when it’s blocked like that.”

“That makes sense! I mean, think of what the lunar eclipse at the North Pole did to the waterbenders. This is huge!”

“We’ve got to get this information to the Earth King at Ba Sing Se. We’ll wait for the next eclipse then we’ll invade the fire nation when they’re totally helpless.”

“Woah, invade? You guys are planning an invasion?” You ask, crossing your arms.

“We have to take the fire lord down somehow.” Aang says.

“That’s true, but how sure are you that King Kuei would even side with you guys? I mean, in Ba Sing Se, it’s like there isn’t even a war. What if he wants to keep it that way?”

“What do you mean?” Katara cocks her head to the side.

“Ba Sing Se is kept separate from the war. No one really talks about it there.” You scratch your head. “But you don’t know unless you try, I suppose.”

“The fire lord is going down!”

“Mortals are so predictable and such terrible liars.” A booming voice sounds through the room. You all slowly turn around. Wan-Chi Tong stands in the doorway. “You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes.”

“You don’t understand! If anyone is evil it’s the fire nation. You saw what they did to your library! They’re destructive and dangerous!” Sokka tries to reason. “We need this information!”

“You think you’re the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons or weaknesses or battle strategies.”

“We had no choice, please. We’re just desperate to protect the people we love.”

“And now I am going to protect what I love.” He starts flapping his wings fast and aggressively, causing the room to fill with dust, and you all quickly come to one conclusion; he’s sinking the entire library. “I’m taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again.

“We’ve got to get out of here!” Katara yells. Sand starts filling the planetarium. You grab onto your Father for dear life, but he shakes out of your grip to steady the books in his arm. You look at him, hurt.

“I’m afraid I can’t allow that. You already know too much.” He swoops down and pecks at you guys. Sokka grabs you and narrowly pulls you out of the way. You all run out of the planetarium in fear, with Wan-Chi Tong following you. You guys weave in and out of different aisles to get away.

“Great knowledge spirit, I beg you, do not destroy your vast collection of priceless tombs!” Your Father stops and begs.

“Dad! What are you doing, come on!” The spirit dives down, and if it weren’t for Aang airbending your Dad away, he would have died. Aang uses his staff to send Wan-Chi Tong off the side of the bridge.

“We’ve got to get back to the surface!” Aang yells. You all turn and run down a different aisle but stop after a few steps when you realize Sokka isn’t following.

“But we still don’t know when the next eclipse is going to happen.”

“Don’t be stupid! We’ll find out later!”

“No we won’t! If we leave this place we’ll never get the information. Aang, come with me to the planetarium. I need cover. You guys take Momo and get out of here!”

“But–” Wan-Chi Tong bursts through a bookshelf.

“Go!” Sokka yells.

“Hurry Sokka!” You, your Father, and Katara book it with the owl hot on your trail. Your Father dives into an aisle and starts grabbing books.

“Dad! No!” You scream. It’s too late to go for him. With Wan-Chi Tong right behind you, if you turn around now, he’ll get you. You and Katara keep running for dear life, she pulls you behind a bookshelf and you huddle up together.

“At least I’ll have one specimen to add to my collection.” The spirit lunges for you, causing you and Katara to get up and run away. You guys finally reach the rope you came into, but Wan-Chi Tong is right behind you. “Your waterbending won’t do you much good here. I’ve studied northern water style, southern water style, even foggy swamp style.”

“Hyah!” Sokka yells as he falls down on top of Wan-Chi Tong, hitting him on the head with a book. “That’s called Sokka style, learn it!” He looks at you and grins. “Hi Y/N!” They climb on top of the owl and start climbing the rope.

“Hey! What about my Dad!”

Sokka looks around and sees your Dad hunched in an aisle with books piled up beside him. “I’m not leaving. I can’t. I’ve spent too long trying to find this place.”

You follow his voice and make eye contact with him when you spot him. “But.. Dad! You can’t stay here! You’ll die!” Tears well up in your eyes.

“There’s not another collection of knowledge like this on earth! I could spend an eternity in here.”

“But what about me?”

“Stay with me! We will learn everything there is to learn together.” He urges.

“No.. Dad.. I can’t do that. Please.” Tears start falling down your cheeks one after another.

“We have to go! The library is about to be submerged!”

You take one last glance at your Dad. “I love you.” You turn back to the rope and grab on. “Go!” Sokka and Katara start climbing again, this time with you following.

“I love you too, Y/N! You will do great things. I know you will.” A sob racks your body and you almost slip, but you regain your hold on the rope and climb as fast as you can. Beneath you, Wan-Chi Tong begins to stir, screeching as he sees you guys escaping. He grabs onto the rope and swings it back and forth, you start slipping, but you're caught by Katara who’s holding onto Sokka who’s holding onto Aang. Aang flies you all up, barely getting you out. You land face first into the sand with a grunt.

Then, suddenly, a cloud of dust goes past you. Turning around, you see nothing. The library has completely sunken. You run up to the indent in the sand and fall to your knees.

“No.. No no no.” You sob into your hands.

“We got it, there’s a solar eclipse coming!” You hear Sokka exclaim. “The fire nation is in trouble now!”

Aang walks up to Toph who is sitting beside you in the same position. “Where’s Appa?” Toph just shakes her head in response.

—

The next day, you’re all sweaty and tired. Tensions are high, as no one wants to upset you or set Aang off again after how he reacted yesterday. Once he found out Appa was missing, he screamed at Toph and then flew off.

Sokka stops walking in and tries to use Momo to make shade, making Toph walk straight into his back. “Hey! Can’t you watch where your–”

“No.”

He sees it’s Toph and grimaces. “Right. Sorry.”

“Come on guys, we’ve got to stick together.”

“If I sweat anymore, I don’t think sticking together will be a problem.” Sokka says, prying Toph off of him.

Toph pushes him off of her, causing him to fall to the ground. “Katara, can I have some water?” You offer Sokka your hand, which he takes with a smile.

“Ok, but we’ve gotta try to conserve it.” She opens her waterbending pouch and bends droplets into each of your mouths, even Momos.

“We’re drinking your bending water?” Sokka smacks his lips. “You used this on the swamp guy!”

“Swamp guy? What swamp guy?”

“When we were traveling we crash landed in this enchanted swamp.”

You raise your eyebrows in surprise as you smack your lips. “It does taste swampy.”

“I’m sorry, it’s all we have.”

“I may have some water in my backpack.” You say, pulling the pack off of you and setting it down in the sand. You undo the bag and search through it for a moment, only finding one water bottle which was completely empty. You frown. “Sorry guys. I think my Dad had all the refill water.” You say sheepishly, putting the backpack back on.

“Hey! Look! A cactus!” Sokka walks up to it and cuts it in half, quickly slurping up the contents.

“No! Sokka! Those are poisonous!” You shout. But it was already too late, Sokka was already on his second bulb.

“Poisonous!?” Katara grabs Toph’s hand and runs towards Sokka. You run up to him too and take the cacti away from him and Momo.

“But it’s just water inside these!”

“No it’s not! These make you go crazy. It’s like alcohol but ten times worse. It makes you see things.” Sokka cuts another bulb open, but you take it and dump it out before he can drink it.

“Hey! I was drinking that!” Sokka’s eyes abruptly go wide and his pupils dilate. You frown. “Drink Cactus juice! It’ll quench ya! Nothing’s quench-ier. It’s the quench-iest!”

“Too late.” You facepalm.

“Who lit Toph on fire?”

Momo flies up and starts flying in circles. He quickly falls down on his face.

“Can I get some of that cactus?” Toph asks.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Katara places her arm around Toph. “Come on, we need to find Aang.” You start walking but you turn around immediately to grab Sokka.

“Hello there! You’re pretty.”

“Oh. Thank you.” Your stomach churns.

Sokka swings his arm around your neck, bringing you close to him. “How did we get in the middle of the ocean? Are you a merperson?” Katara and Toph laugh at you.

—

Later, an explosion takes all of your guys’ attention.

“What is that?” Katara asks. You squint, trying to see better.

“What? What is what?”

“It’s a giant mushroom. Maybe it’s friendly!” You shake your head and grab onto Sokka again.

“Let’s just keep moving.” You say.

“Friendly mushroom! Mushy giant friend!”

You roll your eyes. “Come on, Sokka.”

—

You all continue walking for hours, not stopping even when the sun starts to set. Thankfully, though, once it gets low, Aang finally shows up, swooping down on his glider.

“Aang!” Katara exclaims. She frowns when she sees his expression. “I’m sorry, Aang. I know it’s hard for you right now, but we need to focus on getting out of here.” She places a hand on his shoulder but he shrugs her off.

“What’s the difference? We won’t survive without Appa. We all know it.”

“Come on, Aang. We can do this if we all work together. Plus, we have Y/N! Y/N and Professor Zei have been through here loads of times, they can help us find our way out, right Y/N?”

“Of course. We aren’t too far now, I promise. Just a little while longer. We should make it out in a couple of days. Swear.”

“Why don’t we ask the circle birds to get us out?” You look down at Sokka who is lying in the sand with Momo. He points at the sky where a bunch of wasps fly over you.

“Ugh. We’re getting out of this desert and we’re going to do it together. Aang, get up. Everybody hold hands, we can do this.” Katara grabs onto Aang’s hand, who begrudgingly holds Toph’s. You yank Sokka up and put Momo on your shoulder before making Sokka hold Toph’s hand and grabbing his other one with your own.

—

Once it’s dark out, Katara finally lets you guys stop for the night. You pull out your tent and set it up with Katara’s help. You all crowd into it, with you laying down with Toph on your left and Katara on your right. Sokka lays down on Katara’s right and Aang lays beside him.

You only sleep for about four hours before Katara wakes you all up again.

“Yesterday, my mouth tasted like mud. Today it just tastes like sand. Never thought I’d miss the taste of mud so much.”

“We need to get moving if we’re getting out of this sand pit.”

“Appa!” Aang shouts, looking at the moon.

“Appa? But why would Princess Yue need him? She’s the moon! She flies by herself!” Sokka exclaims.

You furrow your brows. “Am I the only one confused by that?” You ask when no one reacts.

“It’s just a cloud.” Katara sighs. “Wait! A cloud! Here, fly up and bend the water from that cloud into my pouch!” Aang aggressively takes it and flies up, barely getting any of the cloud into the pouch. “There’s barely anything in here.” Katara says with a frown.

“I’m sorry, okay! It’s a desert cloud! I did all I could! What’s anyone else doing!? What are you doing!?” He points his staff at her.

“Hey! Aang! Take a breath! Katara is trying to get us out of here.” You say, stepping in between them.

“What would you know? You don’t even know us!”

“Aang! Y/N just lost someone too, don’t yell at them.” She sighs. “Let’s get moving. We need to head in this direction, right?” You give her a soft smile and nod. She grabs Aang’s and Toph’s hands. Toph also grabs your hand as you grab Sokka’s. You all start walking with a matching lack of enthusiasm.

—

“Ow!” Toph exclaims as she trips on something. “Crud! I am so sick of not feeling where I’m going! And what idiot buried a boat in the middle of the desert!?”

“A boat?”

“Believe me, I kicked it hard enough to feel plenty of vibrations.” Aang uses his airbending to blow the sand off of the ‘boat’, swiftly revealing a glider like the ones sandbenders use.

“Hey! It's one of the gliders the sandbenders use! Look! It’s got a compass on it! I bet it can point us out of here!” Katara grins at you, you smile in response. “Aang, you can bend a breeze to get us out of here!”

“Hehe!” You look over at Sokka who is burying Momo in the sand and giggling. You shake your head.

—

Once you guys get it going, the glider goes faster than you could have dreamed of. There was no way you weren’t getting out of here now.

“The needle on this compass doesn’t seem to be pointing north, according to my charts.”

You take a look and nod. “It’s taking us west, there must be something magnetic ahead.”

“Take it easy (gorgeous/handsome), I’m sure the sand folks who built this baby know how to get around here.” Sokka says dreamily.

You ignore him and look forward. You gasp when you see a huge rock. “Look! That’s what the compass is pointing to!”

“That must be the magnetic center of the desert.”

“A rock!?” Toph raises her fist joyously. “Yes! Let’s go!”

“Maybe we can find some water there!”

“Maybe we can find some sandbenders.” Aang propels you forward even faster, and you guys arrive at the rock in less than a minute. The walk up the rock is treacherous to say the least.

—

“Finally!” Toph falls backwards and makes an angel shape in the ground. “Solid ground.” You guys walk into a tunnel.

“I think my head is starting to clear out the cactus juice. And look!” Sokka swipes up some of the goo on the wall and licks it. He quickly spits it out. “Tastes like rotten penguin meat! Oh.. I feel woozy.”

“You’ve been hallucinating all day on cactus juice, and now you eat a strange substance on the wall of a strange tunnel. Tell me, how have you survived this long?” You shake your head in disbelief.

“I have a natural curiosity!” He shrugs. You facepalm.

“I don’t think this is a normal cave. This was carved by something.”

“Yeah, look at the shape.” You say, running your hand over a dry patch on the wall.

“There’s something buzzing in here. Something that’s coming for us!” Toph’s eyes widen. You all dash out of the tunnel, huge wasps following you.

“You weren’t kidding when you said trouble follows you!”

You guys run down the rock, Katara directing Toph on where to direct her rocks the whole way down. When you finally reach the bottom, sand shoots up, effectively shooing the rest of the wasps. When the sand clears you realize you’re surrounded by sandbenders. Aang flies down and lands in front of you guys.

“What are you doing in our land with a sandbender sailer?” One of the sandbenders asks. “From the looks of it, you stole it from the Hami tribe.”

“We found the sailer abandoned in the desert. We’re traveling with the avatar. Our bison was stolen, and we have to get to Ba Sing Se.”

“You dare accuse our people of theft, while you ride in on a stolen sand sailer?”

“Quiet, Ghashiun! No one accused our people of anything. If what they say is true, we must give them hospitality.”

“Sorry, Father.”

Toph’s eyes widen. “I recognize the son’s voice! He’s the one who stole Appa!”

“Are you sure?”

“I never forget a voice!”

Aang walks up to Ghashiun with his staff pointed at him. “You stole Appa! Where is he? What did you do to him!?”

“They’re lying! They’re the thieves!”

Aang grunts and sends a wave of air over to one of their sand sailers which breaks it in half. “Where is my bison!? You tell me where he is, and you tell me now!” He destroys another sailer.

“What did you do!?”

“I-It wasn’t me!”

“You said to put a muzzle on him!” Toph exclaims

“You muzzled Appa!?” Suddenly, Aang’s arrows and eyes light up.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know it belonged to the Avatar!”

“Tell me where Appa is!” Aang yells, his voice distorted.

“I-I traded him to some merchants! He’s probably in Ba Sing Se by now… They were gonna sell him there. Please! We’ll escort you out of the desert! We’ll help however we can!” The sand around Aang picks up and creates a tornado.

“Just get out of here! Run!” Sokka shouts. The sandbenders all crowd onto one glider and leave. Sokka grabs you and pulls you into his arms. You both crouch, Sokka’s arms tight around your middle. You see Aang start to levitate.

“What’s happening!?”

“He’s in the Avatar state! He can’t control himself in this state yet! It’s impossible!”

Katara goes up to Aang and grabs his hand, pulling him down into a hug. She brings his head to her chest, and slowly, the sand falls, and his arrows turn blue. You let out a sigh of relief and then look at Sokka before awkwardly scooting away from him.
