Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara
They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them
But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd
The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

after 3 centuries i finally managed to properly redesign my dumbass sona, i was gonna initially just change their hair for a more androgynous look but then i. changed their lore a bit too
basically they volunteer for various jobs like delivering mail and milk, nursing and gardening (even though that's also their hobby)
no one knows their gender or their real name but they go by various plant/nature related names (like willow or sunflower)

I think the best possible time travel fic would be to slingshot Harrow from the end of Harrow the Ninth back to the beginning of Gideon the Ninth. Highest hilarity potential, highest angst potential, highest pining potential
Things Harrow knows now that she didn't before:
Who Alecto was
The names of God and his lyctors
The secret of lyctorhood
That the lyctor trials are a death trap
Gideon could be easily persuaded to die for her
Gideon dying for her is the worst thing possible
She would do almost anything to prevent Gideon from dying
Gideon's sword is haunted by a very angry and oddly familiar-looking woman who bears a remarkable resemblance to Gideon
Things Harrow still doesn't know:
What Alecto is
Gideon's parentage
Jackshit about BOE
Mercy and Augustine are both traitors
Things Harrow knew then and still knows now:
Gideon—this Gideon here and now—hates her
She owes a debt of two hundred lives and a future to the Ninth
The survival of the Ninth depends on her becoming a lyctor

You're a coward. You're afraid to stand alone.
holy fuck. Julian 'I recognize my patient has made a decision. given that it's a fucked up decision I don't want staining my hands I have resolved to go machiavellian on it it to try to change it' Bashir (SO so deeply affectionate). he went up to the space pope and looked her in the eye and called her a fucking coward to her face after mercilessly picking apart the realpolitik of the situation step by step. baby you and your dubious medical ethics are all to me.

the thing about alicent's "is there no one to take my side?" and ppl saying criston fills this role is that he doesn't. he very famously doesn't heed her order when she asks him to take luke's eye. probably being the first and only time alicent is exerting her power thru him and he denies her in front of everybody. he also is, very famously too, not afraid of the consequences so this more than killing joffrey, would've been "justified" in people's eye. the queen /ordered/ him too, rather than a fit of anger and "maybe joffrey was a threat" or whatever excuse they concocted. he puts himself first and leaves alicent to fail, alone.
she doesn't have any real ally, not in the way she wants and expects because all of them, and i'm including criston, larys and otto, are in there for their own gain and interests. maybe it's otto who has the same vision as her (of course, all that grooming wasn't for nothing) but alicent IS otto's tool while criston and larys present themselves as HER tools, but ultimately uncontrollable and unwieldy. to me, this kind of isolation alicent faces is really interesting because while she's finally otto's equal (as of eps 8/9), this is still the person who manipulated her all her life; criston is her loyal knight and her oldest ally, united against rhaenyra, but too uncontrollable & dangerous to her; larys is seemingly at her service & an intellectual partner but unknowable and untrustworthy at the same time. idk there isn't any point to this maybe that she should frankenstein herself a new ally & friend and be done with this

Talking of solidarity between women - my Mother-in-law (an angel) sent me a text today asking if my husband had been treating me respectfully even though he was stressed about getting fired.
I said "I'm fine, he's never even raised his voice at me", but the fact is she *asked* if I was doing okay and made sure he wasn't taking his stress out on me. How many people would turn a blind eye? But we do know how men can act. Even the ones we love. Abuse can come from places you wouldn't expect.
