“Thank you, Yue,” she tells the moon. “Thank you for always listening.” Yue will be the one person Kya won’t have to leave behind. No matter where she finds herself, so long as she can still see the sky, Yue will be there to listen. And Kya will be okay so long as she has one friend she can talk to.

the time of your life

Rating: G

Pairing: Gen

Chapters: 1/1

Summary: Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot make memories at a Green Day concert and contemplate what it means to truly feel alive.

Written as a late submission for @atla-gen-week for day 6: free space

Green Day is not exactly his taste in music, but it’s Jet’s and Smellerbee’s. They eat, sleep, and breathe Green Day. Jet even gave himself a hand grenade tattoo on the underside of one of his biceps. Longshot’s taste is more to the tune of Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend. But Jet got an amazing deal on three tickets and Longshot couldn’t say no—he can never say no to Jet.

So now here they stand, the hot August sun baking on the blacktop they stand on. Longshot is wearing a borrowed band t-shirt with the album cover for Dookie on it. He looks plain compared to Jet and Smellerbee: band tees, ripped black skinny jeans, rubber band bracelets and studded leather straps adorning their arms, thick black eyeliner lining their eyes. Smellerbee is rocking a leather jacket with metal spikes on the shoulders, her chestnut hair teased into a frizzy cloud around her head, her dark bandana still in its usual place.

Jet wears the remnants of a Nimrod t-shirt that he says he got from the boy who introduced him to the band; it’s an original. The sleeves have been taken off, and it’s been cut into a cropped top, showing off his tanned stomach. He wears a long-sleeve cropped fishnet top under it. He’s got that rugged rebel charm, that charisma that drew the quiet Longshot and the wayward Smellerbee towards him in the first place. Longshot is here because of him, because of that energy, as much as he is for anything else.

Longshot has never really known a family, known what it meant to have someone you’d be willing to die for, but now he does. Looking at Jet and Smellerbee with their huge grins and wild eyes, he knows he’d do anything for them.

I’m sorry if this has already been answered, but what’s your policy on late submissions?

Hi! Originally the late submission date was 9/17, but I'm probably going to extend it until the end of the month because I've seen a lot of people are still working on things (myself included lol) :)

Day 4:  Forgiveness.

Lightweight AU where Zuko and Azula get along, but things happened and they got hurt/confused (but not so much) while Zuko was banished. When they arrive at the NF there is a conspiracy against Ozai because he only hinders their plans.

The servants: Is this dangerous?… Well yes, but give it a go!

[ID: Mini comic with two vignettes in monochrome magenta.

In the first vignette, teenage Zuko and Azula, dressed in formal robes, are sitting in a seiza position under the shade of a tree in one of the royal palace gardens. Zuko with his eyes closed and a calm expression has short and loose hair, in his lap there are two baby turtleducks. Azula has the same expression and on her lap is a baby turtleduck trying to eat a piece of bread from her hand. Zuko says “I forgive you, Lala”, Azula replies “I forgive you too, Zuzu”. Zuko continues “Now that we’re on the same page…” and Azula ends by saying “Yes, we must treat father”. In the background there is an open manor that separates and in one of them, on the upper right side, there are two servants, a man and a woman.

In the second vignette, the male servant located on the right side exclaims in surprise “Did you hear the same as me!?” and the feminine servant on the left side with raised shoulders and raised fists at her chest level, while she smiles conspiratorially and excitedly answers “Yes, finally a blow to the tyrant!”.

summary:

Soon, he found a figure slumped against the crumbling wall of a small building that looked like it might collapse at any moment. Their eyes were closed, but their breathing was shallow. A lump rose in Kelsang’s throat; their ill-fitting garment could not conceal the thinness of those arms, nor the shadow of the ribs beneath them as they clutched their chest.

He crouched down at a respectable distance. “Kyoshi?

Day 2: Culture.

The Fire Nation has some strange and extreme customs. Some just.

[ID: Mini comic with four vignette in monochromatic magenta.

In the first vignette, teenage Azula, Zuko and Lu Ten walking uphill toward a volcano. The setting is tropical and the three are seen from the back. Azula says “Since the last eruption of that volcano 50 years ago, new species of plants continue to be found”, Lu ten replies “Excellent! It is an opportunity to see first hand what is there”, and Zuko mentions “Who knows, we might find some hallucinogenic mushrooms that I’m missing”.

In the second vignette, Zuko and Azula are shown in the foreground observing some mushrooms on some rocks with other plants. Azula says “I don’t think you have those in your collection, Zuzu” and Zuko adds “I had never even seen this mushroom before”.

In the third vignette, Lu Ten quickly snatches the mushroom from the rock and chews it, saying “For science!”, while Zuko and Azula look scared and surprised yelling “Lu Ten, no!!”.

In the fourth vignette, there is a note in the Recipe Book that says “An investigation after the incident with the Fire Lord Lu Ten, the use of that mushroom was allowed as an ingredient for an exotic culinary sauce, which properly prepared and depending on its concentration, its effects vary from sweating to hallucinogenic visions”.

So really, Azula is fine. Winter is just annoying. It comes and it goes, and Azula’s lungs have never suffered any long-term damage, nor has she passed out because she couldn’t breathe. As long as she’s not actively dying, she’s doing alright.

or: azula's asthma is triggered by cold weather at an academic bowl meet. luckily, she has people who are looking out for her

ID: Digital art of Toph from Avatar: the Last Airbender. It is a shoulders-up portrait of her in a pop art-inspired style. She is grinning off screen, and one hand is in frame flipping off the viewer. Toph wears a tan tunic over a green shirt, and her black hair is in a bun held back by a green headband with bangs that partially obscure her eyes.

For day two of @atla-gen-week here's a panel redraw from Suki Alone:

ID: digital art of Suki and Avatar Kyoshi facing each other, shown in side profile. Suki stands with her fists clenched at her sides, looking up at Kyoshi with a concerned expression. She wears a fire nation prison outfit consisting of a loose red tunic and pants, and her hair is half-up. Kyoshi is standing with her hands held loosely at her sides and a neutral expression. She is slightly transparent and glows blue, like an apparition. She wears her traditional outfit, consisting of a green layered tunic, metal arm and hand guards, and a golden headpiece. Her face is painted white with red and black eye and lip makeup. The background is a tan stone wall. END ID

In Suki Alone, Suki is visited by Avatar Kyoshi. Kyoshi might be an Avatar projection, or a vision, but is also interpretable as a hallucination.

Day 1: Family.

PD: Well, we have an au about this, it’s called “Breakfast Royal Family” (”Familia Real del desayunito”), and it’s too random to explain it, because that’s it, just random.

[ID: Mini comic with four vignette in color monochrome magenta. In vignette one, Azula as a little girl is slightly disheveled, Zuko also a child tells her “Do you know your’e messing up you hair while your’e triying to fix it?”. She replies “I want it to be like father’s”. Zuko replies “Father doesn’t even know potatoes, Lala”, while Azula claims “If you know how to do it, help me!”. Ozai stands in the background waving his right arm shooing away a falcon as he replies “As if combing hair was so simple! And get your falcon out of here, Zuko!”.

In the second vignette, several journalists are surprised and confused by the scene. Two of them, a man and a woman, are holding notepads.

In the third vignette, Lu Ten is shown in the foreground saying “Not again” with a slightly doubtful and resigned expression, with a straight mouth, one eye narrowed, and a small frown.

In the fourth vignette, Lu Ten slides in from the right side saying “The fishing industry this year regarding…” side trying to hide Zuko who grabs the detached bun from Azula’s head as she flails, and Ozai grapples with the falcon that is attacking him on the head. At the lower left corner of the vignette you can see part of the journalists’ heads with question marks above them. End ID]

us sidekicks gotta stick together

an// okay, so this is an au, where superheroes exist. zuko is the blue spirit, who was the sidekick of the dragon of the west, who happened to be his uncle iroh. suki is a sidekick to avatar kyoshi. due to iroh and kyoshi teaching them to keep their hero and personal lives separate, they never found out about each other. 

title from the quote, “things get dark and you need someone to talk to, I'm always here. after all... us sidekicks gotta stick together.” said by donna troy to dick grayson in titans.

    Suki sighed comfortably while laying down in her bed. She had been security for Ba Sing Se station, and had just gotten off work, “Suki, is that you!” Called the soft voice of her roommate. 

The auburn-haired twenty-four-year-old sat up, “Yeah, it’s me. How was your day, Zuko?” The Kyoshi Warrior asked while absentmindedly looking at the uniform hung on her wall, a reminder of who she really was.

Her attention was drawn to the door when her dark-haired roommate walked into the room. They were comfortable enough that they could just visit each other any time they wished, “It was okay, Uncle gave me a new tea recipe to try out, though. Those are always exciting.” He answered with a small smile, Uncle Iroh always knew how to make him feel better after a below-average day at work.

Suki hummed while lowering her head on his shoulder, “That’s nice of him.” She commented before looking up at her roommate with a raised brow, “What kind of tea?” The auburn-haired young woman asked with a grin, knowing the tea would be great no matter what flavor.

The dark-haired twenty-six-year-old looked over at her, his features softening even more, “Jasmine infused with honeysuckle. Uncle says it’ll calm your fears.” He answered softly while nuzzling her head with his own.

The auburn-haired twenty-four-year-old giggled slightly, she could always count on her best friend to lift the mood, “Great, maybe we could have some after dinner?” She suggested with hope, each time they planned a meal, they always enjoyed a nice cup of tea before bed, so their minds could be at ease.

Zuko nodded before squeezing her thigh gently, “That sounds nice, Suki.”

~~~

For dinner, they had ramen noodles mixed with egg drop soup, and now they were laying on Suki’s bed, cuddling up to one another with two cups of tea on the bedside table. Their nightly ritual, “Do you ever wonder if there are people trying to save our world? Like individual people who protect certain towns?”

“Like a vigilante?” Suki supplied, curious as to where her roommate was going with this.

The raven-haired young man cleared his throat, signaling that she was right, “Yeah.”

The auburn-haired young woman started tracing an imaginary pattern on his wrist, “I think they’re helpful. The Kyoshi Warriors are kinda like a team of heroes, remember when we helped Appa and protected him from Azula all those years ago.” She answered while using her hands and wrist to stay on track.

A small smile appeared on Zuko’s face, “Yeah, you are.” He complimented before he heard a yawn from his roommate, “Ready for bed?” He asked while looking down at her, his features turning to an understanding one.

Suki nodded her head before lifting off of Zuko’s chest, “Yeah, Zuko, I’m ready.” She yawned, covering it up with her hand. The auburn-haired-twenty-four-year-old then got up and stood by her bed, “Goodnight, Zuko, sweet dreams.” She called when her roommate stood on the other side.

The raven-haired-twenty-six-year-old nodded back with a yawn of his own, “Sweet dreams, Suki.” He whispered before walking in the direction of his own room.

~~~

Suki woke with a jolt, she had dreamt of falling, but instead of lying on the ground, she was safe in her bed, “Zuko?” She whispered before sitting up, “Zuko, I’d really like some more tea now.” The auburn-haired young woman mumbled to herself while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a thump and jumped into action, hands raised in a defensive stance, only to find out it was some kind of bird. 

Once she relaxed, the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors decided to check her best friend’s room, to make sure he was safe.

~~~

Zuko ran on top of the buildings of Ba Sing Se, dressed as the Blue Spirit. He had been doing this ever since he got banished at the age of twelve, although back then it was just practicing with his swords, taking down imaginary foes, but now, he was on a mission to keep the town he called home safe.

Just as he was about to leap down, he noticed something was off about the shop across the street, the door was slightly opened.

With narrowed eyes under his mask, the Blue Spirit jumped to the side of the building he was on and crouched down, crawling quickly to the side of the off-putting building, stopping under a window.

Once he peaked inside the window, he scanned what was inside, then ducked back down again. There were four guys in what seemed to be a bakery, but it was too dark to know for sure.

Suddenly, one of the men walked over to the window and looked down, causing the Blue Spirit to flatten himself, hoping to blend in like a black cat would against the darkened streets.

~~~     

After Suki had discovered her roommate was gone, she immediately got dressed in her armor, “Alright, Zuko, where’d you go?” She muttered before stepping out of their apartment, trying to look for any footprints that would tell where he went, but there were none. She knew he was a theatre kid, but she didn’t anticipate on him being that sucked into a  character.

Suddenly, the same bird from earlier flew past her, just about knocking into her face, “Hey, watch it.” The twenty-four-year-old hissed before swatting it away, “Leave me alone!” The auburn-haired young woman growled as it left.

As she watched it fly away, she noticed a black shape out of the corner of her eye, “Hey, I guess they left me a trail to follow.” She wondered out loud as she bent down to pick up the feather, thankful for her gloves.

Her blue eyes followed the trail, “So, this is where he went.” She muttered before finally following the trail.

~~~

Zuko crawled around the corner of the building, staying low as he peeked around it, the man was now scanning his surroundings, sure he saw something below the window.

As the Blue Spirit silently slid his swords out, he quickly jumped into action, crossing the twin swords over the man’s neck from behind, “One wrong move, one cry for help, and I’ll end you.” He threatened in a raspy voice, taking a page from Katara’s book all those years ago.

~~~

Suki reached the end of the trail, and quickly hid behind a building, a few doors down from where her roommate was, So this is where you led me… she thought with narrowed eyes before she caught a glimpse of a shiny sword, Wait a minute, those look like….. Zuko’s swords! That must be Zuko! I gotta save him! The auburn-haired young adult gasped silently as she pulled out her twin fans, ready to protect her best friend at all costs.

     ~~~

Zuko narrowed his left eye before letting him go, “Tell anyone, and you’re not escaping next time.” He threatened again, before pointing one of his swords at the man’s throat. Uncle Iroh taught him not to kill since he swore revenge to lock up Zuko’s father for what he did to the boy. Iroh taught him at the age of thirteen to scare his targets, then send them to jail, to never severely injure or become a murderer. To never be as cruel as his father was. So, Zuko took his uncle’s teachings to heart, and never killed, only captured.

The man’s eyes grew wide as he trembled, “P-please don’t hurt me.”

Just as the masked young man was about to speak, a figure dressed as a Kyoshi Warrior appeared from the shadows, “That’s not our policy, bud. You’re going to jail.” She promised before moving her fans in an attack position, ready to take him down if necessary.

Zuko’s left eye widened under the mask, Suki…. he thought before his eye narrowed to the criminal, “Stop the men inside, I’ll see to this one.” He spoke in the raspy voice she knew so well.

Suki nodded silently before jumping on the roof, then jumping down through the opened side window.

~~~

As the criminals were taken away, Suki looked around for her masked roommate but found footsteps leading up to the roof instead. Of course, he’d do that. Such a drama king. She thought before disappearing back into the shadows, ready for a good night's sleep.

~~~

Zuko entered his shared apartment with Suki, and groaned, “How was my cover blown? I was careful!” He growled before ripping off his mask, making the straps break, Damn now I gotta fix it! His mind yelled before walking over to the couch and sinking, all adrenaline leaving his body, resulting in a shell of the sidekick.

Suki walked in a few minutes later, “Why’d you keep this a secret from me, Zuko?!” She yelled while stopping in front of him.

The dark-haired young man pointed to himself in shock, “Me? Why have you been keeping your secret? You kept being a hero even after you left? I thought we told each other everything!” He scoffed while crossing his arms, chest heaving with anger, making the temperature in the room drop. He always sucked in heat whenever he was angry.

His auburn-haired roommate shivered, then started to rub her arms, but the anger never faded from her dark ocean blue eyes, a shark ready to pounce on its prey, “Avatar Kyoshi taught me to keep both lives separate! When I moved in with you, I thought I could finally settle down for a while, but apparently, I was wrong!” She seethed, words dripping with venom. She deserved a quiet life too, didn’t she?

Zuko rubbed both hands over his face, hoping that would calm him down and bring the temperature back to normal, “Look, The Dragon of the West told me to do the same. He didn’t want me to lose myself in the chaos of being a vigilante all the time.” He explained, causing the temperature to return to normal.

Suki sighed, a mix of relief and tiredness, “Wait, so The Dragon of the West is Uncle Iroh?” She pieced together, “And he’d been training you ever since the incident?” She asked, causing her tired roommate to nod.

She sat down beside him, all anger leaving her body, the shark once again at bay, “Huh….. that makes so much sense.” The Kyoshi Warrior then looked over at her vigilante roommate, “You were pretty good with those swords.” She commented with a smile, “I always thought you just kept them around because they reminded you of your thespian days.” The twenty-four-year-old whispered before leaning back, playing with her fingers in appreciation of the time Zuko revealed how much he adored theatre.

Zuko hummed, “Thanks. I thought your fans were badass.” He complimented back, “and the way you jumped on that roof with so much grace.” He then pieced everything together right then and there, causing his golden eye to widen, “Your Avatar Kyoshi’s sidekick?” The dark-haired twenty-six-year-old asked while staring at her in disbelief, “How did I not notice that sooner? You practically use the same moves as her.” 

Suki laughed before putting a gentle hand on his shoulder, “Let’s talk about this tomorrow, I don’t know about you, but I’d like to sleep for the rest of the night.” She commented while stretching her tired limbs.

Her roommate nodded in agreement, “Yeah, night, Suki.” He whispered before getting up from the couch and heading back towards his room. He definitely deserved to sleep for a couple of days.

The auburn-haired young woman hummed before walking back to her room, where she dreamed of what other superheroes could be running around Ba Sing Se. 

Started: 6/27/22

Finished: 7/9/22

Maybe its just me, but The Blue Spirit really reminds me of Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Suki reminds me of Wonder Girl (Donna Troy).

Okay, so I made this comparison which inspired me for the title and concept of the superheroes au.

tw for mentions of child abuse
