[waterbenderkat]

Meet Hageshi and Bhava, the two main characters from my upcoming A:TLA fic “Hageshi: Daughter of Fire”.

The main characters and couple of the story (The Avatar always gets the girl 😉), Hageshi is the female fire bending Avatar before Szeto. She’s Japanese inspired and an ace lesbian. Bhava is Afro- Indian (Ghanan- Indian specifically), and an air nomad, as well as pan ace.

I am so excited to start this fic next year, and to share Hageshi’s story with you all.

Characters and cover drawn by Henar & Iria of @ilikeyoucatradora!

When the world needed the Avatar the most, he vanished. One hundred years passed. The fires of war raged. Lives were torn apart and reshaped in its heat, leaving the world forever changed. The waterbenders of the Southern Watertribe were hunted to near extinction, until only Sokka and Katara were left. For this, their mother was killed trying to protect them. Their father and the men of their village left to fight. The Avatar? Please. That's the stuff of children's dreams and spirits tales. There isn't anyone coming to save them. So why did this airbender suddenly turn up now, in the South Pole of all places, looking for him?

I somehow managed to squeeze this out between starting a new job and kids being home from school for the summer. So uh. Enjoy?

the difference between watching atla as a kid and as an adult is the deep overwhelming sadness and horror I feel as they crown a traumatized 16 year old kid as the monarch of a nation

#you know I can appreciate that's just the story they were telling. this is the Good Ending and supposed to be hopeful. #I'm still sad about it. if anyone has fic recs where that goes poorly (with a heaping helping of zuko hurt/comfort) hmu #that kid should be journaling and crushing on cute water tribe boys not duty bound to lead a nation #a:tla #avatar the last airbender #zuko atla

pairing: zukka | chapters: 1/2

word count: 7.4k | for @zukkaweek prompt: second chances

She laughs at his antics as she says, “Ready to go?”

Zuko thinks about snowdrifts, penguin sledding, and bonfires. About strong arms, whispered secrets in the middle of the ocean, and deep blue eyes that sit on a handsome, freckled face. Something in him pulls, it both aches and comforts him, and he knows this is something that’s long overdue. He ignores the part of his brain that tells him he isn’t wanted, despite Chief Hakoda’s words. When Katara raises an eyebrow at his pause, he forces himself to relax and plasters a smile on his face.

“Absolutely,” he breathes out.

or: sokka is taking over for his father as chief. in a last ditch effort to get their heads out of their asses, katara & hakoda have convinced zuko to come down for his swearing in. they didn’t account for sokka and zuko’s absolute stupidity.

Atma Lau

Atma Lau - Chapter 1 - ai0lisauce - Avatar: The Last Airbender [Archive of Our Own]

"When Agni blesses us with bringing our loved ones into our lives, we dance the Atma Lau to unite our inner flames with theirs."

Zuko doubted he'd ever dance it again. He had the unfortunate habit of ruining the lives of anyone who tried to care for him. And that was fine. Clearly Agni had deemed Zuko undeserving of any love.

It'd be great if the Avatar's gaggle and his uncle could get the memo though.

-----

OR the slow burn Zukka fic where Zuko learns how to love himself and others through the power of music and dance!

So uhh I just posted my first ever fanfic and I hope y'all like it 👉👈

kuzotara week 2024 fic! the kataang no war AU

No War AU. 13-year-old Aang meets two of the Painted Ladies outside of the Southern Air Temple. They build a magical orchard out of the clouds.

Written for Kuzotara Week 2024 for the 'childhood friends' prompt! for the event run by @survivalove.

She descends with the moon, bathed in black threads of gossamer and velveteen shadows. Aang doesn’t want to say anything, hesitant to play games with her existence, so he perches by the window, tips up his chin and thinks about fetching the creaky stool Monk Paska keeps in the broom cupboard, doesn’t grab the stool, and watches.

Someone. Someone new, someone not clothed in orange silks for once. She’s but a girl, this - this someone he’s found, and she looks up to her leader, a tall woman with broad shoulders. Together they stroll through the clouds outside the temple, the air somehow merciful to their weight, and they do not fall.

Aang wants to fetch his glider and streak across the braided lines of clouds until he meet this mysterious maiden and her… leader? mother? but the other children would probably notice his absence. He grits his teeth and counts his meager moments like Monk Gyatso taught him.

One, don’t you dare go out there; two, not even if you really, really want to, no; three, now, not yet, wait your turn, someday maybe it’ll be the right time and the girl’ll come to the window, she’ll introduce herself, perhaps; four, resist the want, put it out of your mind; five, keep going, keep waiting and the want will quell eventually, dissipating from your mind like mist; five, be patient, young man, this is what you’re good at (that’s a lie, an aspiration at best, he’s not always good at the waiting)…

And Aang clenches his fists until the knuckles go white, he promises, but after he reaches fifteen and opens his eyes, the girl and her leader are still there, spinning through the clouds as if they were born swimming through the inky sky.

Aang looks behind his shoulder. Only a few kids are still in the room; some of the others went to nap, or are picking soft pears or watering trees in the orchard, and it wouldn’t be so hard to go to go to go to go一

So he goes.

[lizardlicks]

POV: You've traveled for several weeks to visit your sister tribe in the south in hopes of negotiating new trade deals. Rumor is their tiger seal season has been excellent this year, and their engineers have been hard at work developing a new power source that could replace the need for coal.

You were greeted warming, and shown to their meeting hall; a large though rather unassuming round house in the middle of town-- village, more like. Everything in the South is understated and quaint. Quite charming, really. However this… girl entered the round house not long after you did, followed closely by the most ENORMOUS wolf you have ever seen. She introduced herself as Chief Hakoda's Daughter. That was nearly an hour ago, and there has yet to be any sign of the chief himself.

The girl-- the Southern Princess keeps trying to steer your conversation away from now worn out pleasantries and toward business. This is the most frustrating development of your entire trip, and that is including when you nearly lost half your cargo to some shoddy tiedown work in the storm that caught your boat, PLUS the extra week of time that it cost you to dock and make repairs. You tug at the clasp of your parka, feeling altogether too hot in the cozy space with the Princess smiling thinly at you.

"Tell me, where might Prince Sokka be?" you say, remembering that the Chief of the South had two children. The beast, whose great paws Princess Katara is comfortably seated between, starts to growl. She strokes his muzzle, and then the Princess's grin turns more wolfish than that of her guard.

"My brother is right here, but I don't think you will want to negotiate with him," the young woman says. "He's a bit more apt to employ his teeth."

fic idea i will probably write at some point:

when toph goes after zuko after his terrible introduction (hello, zuko here) he still startles and burns her feet but instead of running away he immediately rushes over and starts fussing over her, picking her up and treating her burns

he lays her down on his bedroll and gets his first aid supplies. he’s kind of an expert at dealing with burns. aside from the obvious, he was often burned during his childhood while training to fight with bending. it was why he was so fond of the dao swords, something he was much better at

he doesn’t realize he’s been talking aloud until the girl (does he know her name yet??) pointedly coughs after he trails off. he shakes the thoughts away and warns her the balm he is about to apply will sting at first.

he surprised when she fists a hand in his shirt, hissing in pain as the medicine does its job. he wraps it and moves onto her other foot, repeating the process. once he’s done, she looks in his direction quizzically

“it’s… numb,” she says, surprised. zuko smiles and explains

“it numbs the pain and heals the burn simultaneously. you should feel better in the morning after a good nights sleep, but you should still reapply it so it stays that way, okay?” he asks. she nods and then seems to debate asking something, before speaking

DISCLAIMER i know nothing about medicinal herbs/balms so this is 100% made up

“the others tried to describe you to me when i asked… pretty much all i got was ‘ponytail jerk with a shaved head and a burn on his face’ and obviously that’s not really a great description…” she trails off. zuko laughs softly

“if it makes you feel better, the ponytail is long gone. my hair is long enough to mostly cover the burn, too…” he replies

she nods thoughtfully before hesitantly lifting her hand towards his face, stopping a few inches away.

“um… you can say no, of course. but if it’s okay, can i touch your face? it’s how i see people,” she explains quietly. zuko flinches back slightly before thinking about it. her hands are so… small. and she hasn’t hurt him (yet).

the last person who touched his face was Uncle, helping zuko apply the burn salve after a bad day (the scar tended to hurt more if he was upset or angry… which was often). he had been so careful, it made zuko feel cherished.

he lets out a breath and agrees

the grin he receives is probably worth his discomfort

he closes his eyes and feels her small hands trace his face. she hums to herself as she maps it out in her head. zuko can feel calluses, likely from her earthbending, and laughs when she runs a hand through his hair, whispering “just checking”

they both quiet once she’s explored his entire face aside from the scar. she seems hesitant, so zuko nods slightly, reassuring her.

he cant really feel the hand tracing his burn. that area has been numb since his father…

he’s used to it. her hand on the other side of his face, keeping his head steady, is grounding and he releases some of the tension that had built in his shoulders when she traced the edge of the scar

she lets out a tiny gasp, and zuko can feel hair being pulled back from his ear- or what’s left of it. the burn had reached the appendage and a bit of his scalp. luckily his long hair was able to easily cover it. thinking back on his days wearing the symbol of the banished, having the entire thing exposed, makes him feel sick.

she finally drops her hands and when zuko opens his eyes (when had he gotten teary?) she’s sitting back across from him.

they sit in thoughtful silence for a while before toph snaps her fingers in recognition

“oh yeah, are your eyes really gold?” she asks

zuko finds it odd that the group had even noticed his eye color, but confirms her question

“cool,” she grins and zuko can’t help but smile back. she eventually scoots over on the bed roll and demands zuko sit next to her (and who is he to say no?)

they spend the next couple of hours talking. zuko finds out toph also comes from high society, and they bond over the stupid rules they were forced to learn and such.

toph doesn’t ask how he got the scar, but she does ask about it.

“can you hear at all in this ear? and are you able to see with this eye?”

he allows her these questions because she’s one of the only people who can understand what it’s like

“not very well, but enough to get by. as for my eye… it’s mostly blurry and i can’t open it past a squint. honestly, everyone was surprised it hadn’t lost all function,” he explains

she studies him thoughtfully before replying

“is that why you have two swords?”

zuko blinks. he hadn’t ever actually thought of it like that, since he was already using them before getting banished. but it makes sense. he shrugs

“maybe subconsciously?” he says, and she laughs at his uncertainty. he can’t help but smile at the sound

unconventional, yet not unwanted

pairing: zukka prompt: day 3 (secret identity) and day 6 (royalty) for @zukkaweek  word count: 3.4k 

summary: 

Today, when Zuko enters his forgotten garden, there is someone already sitting there. Someone who is trying, and failing, to garner the duckling’s attention.

“Come on, little ducky, please?” Zuko hears the voice before he sees him, and when he peaks around the corner he almost laughs at the sight. The intruder (guy?) looks to be about his age with a sharp jawline and intense blue eyes that are narrowed in concentration. The sides of his head are shorn, and what hair he does have is littered with beads and braids. He’s wearing mostly-plain robes that consist solely of shades of blue with wave patterns embroidered into the hems.

Ah, so he’s from the Imiq royal procession. Wonderful.

or: zuko is set to marry the son of King Hakoda, tying the Imiq and Taiyō kingdoms together. how will his resolve hold when he meets a stranger trying (and failing) to befriend his mother's ducks
