Day 4- “It’s always been you”

Azula x Ty Lee

You can also read it here on ao3

A/N: Ty Lee is a Victorian gentlemen she sees bare shoulders and completely short circuits

Ty Lee knew she was fucked from the moment Azula tried to punch her. Not just because Azula was trying to punch her, but rather because she was too busy staring at her pale shoulders to even notice Azula beginning to move.

“Earth to Ty Lee, you in there?” Azula waved her hand in front of her face, temporarily distracting Ty Lee,

“What?” she replied shaking my head,

“Your head is not in the game today, I knocked you over with a punch a beginner could block.” Azula sighed, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m fine- just had a bad day.” Ty Lee lied, Azula looked at her skeptically but decided not to press further. Ty Lee wanted to sink into the floor. Azula was right after all, she always was, and furthermore Ty Lee couldn’t exactly explain why she was so nervous. This was her friend of ten years, the person she should be the most comfortable with.

The thought stayed with her through the day and night. It stayed as she knocked on Azula’s door and made her way up the familiar stairs and into Azula’s room.

Was she imagining things or was Azula holding her hand just a little tighter?

“Are you ever going to tell me what happened yesterday?” she asked as the door slammed shut behind them,

“Yesterday? Oh, it was nothing, I was just distracted.” Ty Lee didn’t dare to look Azula in the eye. Technically it wasn’t a lie, she had been distracted. “I could probably take you right now.”

“Really? Are you sure about that?” Azula takes Ty Lee’s wrist, she backs away, the back of her knees hitting the edge of bed. They both fell down, getting tangled in the covers.

Ty Lee laughed, the sound trailing off, as Azula's finger came up and began to trace her features. Ty Lee noticed she was strangely focused, as if taking in her features for a painting. They were so close that if either of them leaned forward their lips would meet. She prayed to Agni her face wasn’t as red as she thought it was.

“It’s always been you.” Azula murmured under her breath,

“Hmm?” Ty Lee asked, the feeling of Azula’s gentle hands brushing her face consuming all her thoughts,

“It’s always been you. The person I’ve loved since we were kids.” Azula said, a little stronger. Her fingers stilled and she sat up straight, watching Ty Lee’s expression carefully.

At first the words didn’t register, because Ty Lee was too busy feeling disappointed that Azula stopped. Her face turned red when she did, and she was too overwhelmed to say anything.

Azula took this as rejection and immediately put some space between them. Ty Lee caught her hand and pulled her back. Unsure what else to do she kissed her. Azula stiffened in shock for a second before kissing her back. A knock interrupted them,

“Azula can you give me my charger back-” Zuko stopped midway through the door before backing out.

Azula was up faster than Ty Lee could blink. She yelled something before slamming the door shut. Ty Lee was too busy to care, her entire body fluttering with the warmth of the kiss. The second she could she pulled Azula back for another kiss, relishing in perfection of this moment.

A/N: Not one of my best works and I’m late, but oh well

Day 3- Pets

Asami x Korra

A/N: I wrote this while watching season 1 of Korra which is so ironic to me

You can also read it here on archive of our own

“No Korra, as much as I love Naga we cannot have her live in the house with us.” Asami sighed,

“Come on, Asami! You have an entire mansion, surely Naga can live in a small part of it.” Korra assured, smiling crookedly at her and Asami cursed her sad bi heart.

“Fine, she can stay in the house with us.” Korra whopped, and Asami prayed that she wouldn’t regret this.

~

“Korra, why is Naga in the kitchen?” Asami asked, trying to get past the wall of white fur that blocked her from her girlfriend.

“Asami! Er- what are you doing up so early?” She heard Korra call out from somewhere behind Naga.

“Well I woke up for a meeting, and was miffed to see that my lovely girlfriend wasn’t in bed with me, and so I went out to go search for her.” Asami replied, “That still doesn’t explain why Naga is in our kitchen.”

“Well- she’s helping me.”

“Helping with what?” Asami was slowly getting more and more concerned, “Korra what are you doing?”

“Nothing! Uh- can you just wait for me out in the living room?”

“Um… ok I will. But you’re not in any danger, are you Korra? You know I’m always here for you.”

“Mhm! Perfectly fine!” and reluctantly Asami backed out of the kitchens. Korra ran out of the kitchen a few seconds later, her hair smoking slightly.

“Asami! Good morning beautiful- I didn’t set the stove on fire.”

“You set the stove on fire?” Asami shrieked, for as much as she loved her girlfriend, it seemed that technology didn’t. If technology was sentient it would most likely try to waterboard Korra.

“Korra, what were you doing in the kitchen?” Asami asked one last time,

“Well I was trying to make breakfast, you know, to thank you for letting Naga stay in the house, because I knew you were on the fence about it. Well the stove didn’t agree with me and-“

“Caught on fire.” Asami finished. Korra nodded guiltily.

“Well I appreciate the gesture anyway Korra.” she says, kissing her girlfriend’s forehead gently, “How about instead we go to the restaurant you love so much, and have breakfast there?”

“I can get us there in record time.” Korra agreed with a snap of her fingers.

“That’s sweet of you Korra, but maybe I should drive the Sato-mobile. I would love it if I could get to the restaurant with my stomach still in my body.”

“Sato-mobile? Who said we were going to use the Sato-mobile?” Korra flashed her crooked grin again, and Asami had a feeling whatever was going to happen next would definitely rearrange her organs. And not in a good way.

~

She was right. She was tragically right. Naga hadn't been out of the house in q while, and she was making up for it now. Shops and people passed by in a blur, and Asami had to hold onto Korra for dear life. Every two seconds a pedestrian would yell in outrage, or a sato-mobile would honk indignantly.

Korra and Naga were having the time of their lives however. Korra was whopping, even going as far to let go of the reins to try and touch a low hanging string of lights. Asami almost screamed herself hoarse when Naga leaped clean over an oncoming mobile.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity but was most likely only 15 minutes. Naga stopped suddenly, and if Asami didn’t have a death grip on Korra she would have been launched into oncoming traffic.

“Wasn’t that exhilarating Asami? A hundred times better than a Sato-mobile, no offense of course.” Korra exclaimed, but there was no response, “Asami?”

Korra looked over Naga to see Asami had splat on the ground and was just lying there, looking slightly disheveled,

“Are you ok?” Korra slipped off of Naga’s back to check up on her,

“Korra, I love you but I might just lose my non-existent lunch if I do that again.” She moaned,

“It wasn’t that bad.” Naga agreed by licking Asami’s hair, trying to get her to stand up. Korra hooks her arms under Asami and picks her up, bridal style.

“How about on the way back, I carry you all the way, just like this.”  Korra said, punctuating her sentence with a kiss pressed to her forehead,

“That would be much preferred.” Asami agreed. Naga wanted to join in the hug and so she set her head on Korra’s head slobbering all over them.

“Sorry girl, you’re out of the business.” Asami laughed, and kissed Korra.

A/N: Sorry this is late, I was busy the last two days, and honestly really lazy

Day 2- Meet the Family

Ty Lee x Azula

A/N: I enjoyed this prompt, it kind of ended up as a crack fic

You can also read it here on archive of our own

Ty Lee was, understandably, nervous. Meeting with the Firelord and the Firelord’s family was no small thing, even more so when you’re being introduced to them as their daughter’s girlfriend. Azula noticed her nervousness.

“You’ll be fine. They love you already.” she reassured Ty Lee,

“Yes, but that was back when I was your friend. That doesn’t mean they would be happy that you want to settle down with me.” she bit on her lip until it bled,

“Are you suggesting you want to get married?” Azula asked, cool as ever,

“You are not helping.”

“I promise, they’ll all love you. Didn’t my mom always say that she wished we would stay friends forever? We’re just fulfilling her dreams, so don’t worry.” she says with a wink,

“I’m more worried about your dad.” Azula squeezes her hand reassuringly,

“I’ll be right here with you the entire time, it’ll be fine.” Ty Lee gave her an unconvinced glance but took a deep breath, and stepped through the doos,

“Mom! Dad! Zuzu! I gotta tell you something!” Azula called,

“Why did you have to summon us to the garden in the middle of the day?” Zuko asked,

“Is your hearing impaired Zuko? I just said I had something to tell you all.” Azula sniped back,

“Kids, not the time. Azula, what do you want to tell us?” Ursa interrupts just as Zuko opens his mouth to protest,

“She’s pregnant.” Ozai said solemnly, Azula rolled her eyes.

“What? No- Dad I’m not pregnant. Will you let me finish my sentence?” Ty Lee had to cough into her hand to stifle a giggle.

“So you guys know Ty Lee and I are friends right?” Azula finally starts,

“She’s pregnant.” Ozai declares confidently,

“Ozai! Nobody is pregnant!” Ursa chastises, punching his shoulder

“You are.” he says sulkily,

“No I’m- wait what?” Ty Lee watched this exchange with a renewed interest. This was sure to be an interesting story to tell her and Azula’s kids. Her face temporarily reddened at the thought of her and Azula, and the future, and the prospect of having kids.

“Can we worry about this later? I still need to tell you guys something.” Azula’s voice interrupts her train of thoughts,

“Then just tell us Lala, we literally found out that we’re having a new sibling before we found out about your cryptic message.”

“I told you to stop calling me that, anyways will you all please be quiet.” Now it was Ty Lee’s turn to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder Azula took a deep breath before continuing,

“What I’ve been trying to tell you is that Ty Lee and I are dating.” there was no response. Ty Lee stiffened, stepping back. She waited for the yelling to start, for either Ursa or Ozai to start blaming each other for the way Azula turned out-

None of that happened.

What did happen was that Ozai took off his glasses and sighed,

“Dad?” Azula asked tentatively and Ursa came to rest her hand on her daughter’s shoulder,

“Don’t pay him any mind dear, he’s just bitter that he owes me thirty gold.” Azula furrowed,

“Wait- why does he owe you 30 gold-” Ty Lee started, before realizing,

“You had a bet going on whether Ty Lee and I got together?” Azula all but shrieked,

“Not whether, but when. If you had confessed a week later I would’ve lost, so thank you sweetheart.” Ursa put her other hand on Ty Lee’s shoulder, “But sincerely I want to give my congratulations, I’m so happy you have found each other, and wish you many years of happiness.”

“Thank you.” Ty Lee replies just as sincere and Ursa patted her shoulder,

Zuko stepped forward and put a tentative hand on her shoulder,

“I think this is the part where I threaten you and tell you if you ever hurt my sister I’ll make your life hell etc.” he said with uncertainty, Ty Lee immediately tenses,

“You don’t have to!” she added helpfully,

“Oh good, it didn’t feel right.” Ty Lee let out a sigh of relief, “Anyways, I owe Mai twenty dollars, so if you’ll excuse me.” and Zuko exits without another word,

Azula squeezed her hand and leaned over, kissing her cheek

“I told you they’d love you.” she whispered into her ear,

“You were right.” Ty Lee laughed, and Azula smiled back at her, which never failed to make her stomach do acrobatics.

“Now then, Ozai, what the hell do you mean I’m pregnant? I mean, I feel I would know before you did.” Ursa asked,

“Well when you had your physical check up last week, the physician’s noticed something abnormal, and when I checked in with them yesterday they said it was most likely a pregnancy. I didn’t have the time to tell you until right now.” he stated matter-of-factly,

“Don’t think of the implications.” Ty Lee whispered into Azula’s ear,

“What do you mean- Spirits! Ty Lee, I wasn't even thinking of that.” Azula lets go of Ty Lee’s hand to cover her face. Ty Lee laughed, wrapping her arms around Azula’s shoulder. She leaned against her shoulder content to live in this moment forever.

A/N: Ozai? Ursa? Being good parents? It’s more likely then you think.

Day 1- Regret

Hama x Kanna

You can also read it here on archive of our own

A/N: Starting off strong with some old woman yuri

If you asked Kanna if she was content with her life she would tell you that she was. She had escaped the misogynistic construct of the North Pole, traveled across the world, and lived to tell the tale. She had a son who was Head Chieftain of the now flourishing South Pole. Her grandchildren had found the long-lost Avatar and ended the 100-Year-War. She couldn’t be prouder.

Yet, there was a memory that wouldn’t leave. A memory of a girl with a whale tooth comb. Her only regret.

She had met Hama the day she reached the South Pole. She had gotten lost, and was sure she was going to die, her destination just brushing her fingertips. Then the snow separated and Kanna was sure that she was actually dead, that this was the spirits coming to collect her soul.

But instead of a spirit, there was a girl, parting the snow around her as easy as if she was parting the curtains.

“Hello there stranger! Identify yourself.” she called cheerily, ignoring Kanna’s clear distress.

“K-Kanna from the Northern Water Tribe.” she stuttered, the cold stealing her voice.

“The Northern Water Tribe? Are you a waterbender?” she asked, and Kanna shook her head.

“No matter, the Southern Water Tribe will always help someone from our sister tribe.” she said, while offering her hand. “I’ll help you back to the village! My mother can fix you a hot meal, and we’ll figure out what to do from there alright.”

Kanna was too weak to do anything more than take the stranger’s hand. It was blessedly warm.

“My name’s Hama by the way.” Hama said, wrapping her arm around Kanna’s shoulders. She nodded once before slipping out of consciousness.

~

“Wake up Kanna, it’s morning.” a voice was calling her from her sleep, she opened her eyes, heart racing, had she summoned her? Could it be-

It was Pakku. He was stirring a pot that most likely held breakfast. No matter how many years passed, the hope that one day she would wake up with Hama by her side never seemed to pass.

“I heard they found another waterbender in the Fire Nation.” Pakku said, continuing to stir the pot. “I heard she’s from the Southern Water Tribe.” Kanna stilled,

“Where is she?” she asked,

“She’s coming back today.” Kanna tries not to get her hopes high, but she can’t stop her heart from beating faster,

“As one of the elders of the tribe, it will be your job to greet them.” Pakku kept stirring the pot of who knows what. Kanna can’t find it in her to care. She knows Hama better than anyone, if anyone were to survive those inhumane prison conditions, it would be her.

~

The wind had picked up, and Kanna wrapped her coat tighter around herself. She had been waiting at the dock for the past thirty minutes.

Finally a looming metal ship came into view. It lazily cut through the water as it meandered around the stray pieces of ice, and towards land.

The ship came to a rather graceful halt for such a hulking ship. The plank lowered with a loud thud. Kanna held her breath, as a woman started to walk down the plank.

A woman with a whale tooth comb.

Kanna was running before she could think. Hama barely had a second to respond before she was engulfed in a hug.

“Hello there stranger.” Hama greets her, her voice slightly rough.

“It’s really you, you’re actually here.” Kanna whispers, and Hama tightens her arms around her. They stayed that way for a long, long time

A/N: this took a while to write for no reason, but it turned out half decent, so there’s that

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
