when i see other peoples rdr2 modern aus like working at mcdonald’s and thanksgiving and trick or treating and old fishing photographs…i realise my modern au vision of getaway drivers, night clubs, helicopters, bank robberys, explosions, heists, secret hideouts, flashy cars, prison breakouts, alcohol shots and other stuff must’ve gone really wrong somewhere…

the funniest part of an au where jet never saw iroh heating his tea & kept hanging around bugging zuko is that iroh seems to like jet. like iroh was 100% down with jet "liberating" some food for him and when jet says he's trying to make up for his past iroh says he believes in second chances and looks at zuko pointedly, basically elbowing him and going "see nephew? redemption arc!". like he sees jet and is like "another young man trying to make up for his past? he'd be a great friend for zuko" which is objectively really funny considering that it's you know. jet

Jetko fic rec list
Feel free to add your own recs, and if you do read any of these and like them, comment something nice on it! If I find anyone hassling authors for updates I will drop ferrets down your chimney!
Modern AU
the things we leave behind - Mai and Ty Lee start a ghost hunting channel; their roommate, Zuko, cannot stand their new cameraman, Jet. Meanwhile, Zuko's sister just moved into their shared house, and forms a reluctant bond with Zuko's friend, Katara. Multiship, rated M, 200k, complete, HIGHLY recommend (also check out the rest of the author's works! She's amazing!)
never believed in meant to be - Zuko gets in-school suspension and meets Jet, who's cool enough they spend the day together. It's their first and last meeting. Rated T, 5k, complete. (Check out the rest of this author's stuff too!)
you're built to fall (beautiful) - in between the struggles of figuring out life as sixteen-year-old caretaker of kids, Jet finds himself falling in love with a handsome merman. rated T, 8k, complete. Amazingly written <3
paint it red, they'll cover it up anyway - Jet and Zuko are both kindergarten teachers, and both dealing with a lot of complications in their life. and in love. Rated T, 34k, in-progress
Ba Sing Se
up in the city (until the stars lost the war) - canon divergent AU where Jet doesn't see Iroh heat the tea, and Zuko's a little more receptive to city life. Absolutely gorgeous series. Rated T, 50k, in-progress
(Dont) Lose yourself into me - another canon divergent AU! Featuring rebel shenanigans, betrayal and angst all laid out beautifully. Check out the author's other works too, there's some really good ones! Rated T, 80k, in-progress
clay kids - after a misunderstanding about Zuko's - or rather, Lee's - parentage, he and Jet form a relationship built on lies of omission. Rated T, 35k, in-progress
a lesson in new beginnings - the author's summary probably says it best: 'zuko has bad coping skills, jet has a hella crush, and war is hell. welcome to ba sing se.' Very sweet with plenty of angst, drama, and misunderstanding. Rated T, 6k, in-progress
Post-canon
Like The Fire In Your Heart - Zuko's carriage is ambushed by thieves, and he finds that his old friend Jet isn't as dead as certain playwrights would have him believe. Rated M, 9k, in-progress
Miscellaneous
learning how to use a weapon (& other such tragedies) - flood-based apocalypse au! Beautifully written, possibly one of the first jetko fics I read when I was first starting to like Jet as a character. Rated G, 11k, complete
heat and sand - by the same author as above, au where a race of winged beings live among humans, and wouldn't you know it, they're not exactly welcomed by the likes of Ozai. Zuko finds himself taken in by Jet and his freedom fighters. Rated G, 16k, two completed fics. Honestly check out the rest of the author's catalogue it's all A+
Hearthfire- Jet is taken prisoner by the Fire Nation after his village burns. Rather than be put to work or executed, he becomes the young Prince Zuko's ward and they form an unlikely relationship. rated T, in-progress, 41k, covers canon books 1-3.
Perpetual - Jet, not quite mid-redemption arc, kills a firebender. Zuko can't actually die. Jet decides to make this his own problem. Rated M, 180k, in-progress <3
Sthe song in the secret room - haha second lesbeanlatte work on here 😈 a modern/time travel au based off of the Disney channel show Secrets of Sulphur Springs, if it were PG-13 and involved gator-related manslaughter. Hilarious and heart-wrenching 💚 Rated M, 280k, complete
Some further additions found in this reblog
This list will probably get updated if I remember any more or read anything new. And not to shamelessly self-promote but I have a variety of jetko works of my own, linked here if you're interested at all. :)

I don’t think anyone has fully considered the potential of a feral zuko au.
Like, Ozai tries to kill him when he’s 10, but zuko escapes with a scar, Ozai claims he was killed by an assassin and Azula gets a redemption arc early.
Meanwhile zuko is off completely changing the corse of history by, in no particular order:
-Making Hama realize that not all fire benders are bad cause the child she just told about how she was in prison immediately his to instigate a jail break
-is emotionally adopted by hakoda along with most of the crew
-finds wan shi tong’s library
-befriends/is adopted by June the bounty hunter
-discovers a herd of flying bison
-joins a traveling acting troupe for a while cause he’s a theater nerd
-visits omashu and is forcibly befriended by bumi, who decides that zuko is now his grandson and no one can stop him
-discovers the white lotus, decides that they don’t do shit, and starts a hobby of breaking into their safe houses and wrecking them until they get off their asses and help with the war
-meets toph when some fire nation soldiers chase him to gaoling and she stops them, and her parents see her, but zuko does this little speech about how proud they must be of their daughter and how much they must trust and respect her since she’s such a powerful earth bender, and basically guilt trips them into letting toph continue to fight and practice bending
-gets a dragon tattoo 
-wanders into the swamp at some point
-drinks a bit more than he probably should, but he can hold it shockingly well
-figures out lightning bending in the middle of a thunderstorm 
-goes to ba sing se, gets arrested by the Dai li, breaks out, and starts a one man war with them, which basically is just zuko par core-ing around the city till he finds some Dai li, then rather beats the shit out of them, or just kill them. 
-He does it all with out fire bending though, just his swords. 
-After like a week the Dai li are basically gone, and the earth king finds out about the war, and makes zuko a part of the army, some fancy title and a medal or something, zuko is officially recognized as the dragon of the east, and proceeds to duck off to the North Pole to try and convince them to help in the war
-they don’t want to, but he befriends yue and they talk about politics and zuko helps her get out of the arranged marriage 
-zuko called Paku a sexist bitch and is surprised yet delighted to inform him that blood bending was invented by a woman
-invents lightning redirection
-the north joins the war thanks to yue 
-zuko meets the mechanist at the northern air temple at some point
-meets and joins the freedom fighters, makes out with jet, uses fire bending to save jets like, then jet tries to kill him
-the other kids understand that zuko is still good even though he’s a fire bender, but zuko leaves, even though every single kid adopted zuko as their older brother
-becomes known as the greatest swords man to ever live
-it’s actually true, and when piandao, who has Ali adopted zuko, hears that he is very proud and brags about it to everyone he meets
-basically zuko gets adopted by almost every adult he meets
-gets really good at cooking, hunting, reading maps, finding water, pick pocketing, stowing away on beats, sewing, and pretty much every other skill you would need to live on your own. 
-hears that Zhao has captured the avatar and casually breaks Aang out of prison
-refuses to be his firebending teacher and leaves
-stops at a village to tell them that the volcano next to them is about to explode, and he knows this cause he grew up in the fire nation which has a lot of volcanos
-they don’t believe him cause the fortune teller never said anything about it, zuko gets pissed and starts yelling at them
-this is the exact moment Aang Katara and sokka show up
-zuko thinks Aang is following him and tries to leave, but sokka recognizes him as the dragon of the east from a wanted poster
-they basically follow zuko around trying to convince him to help them, and he is this close to just beating them up when Katara mentions they are going to the northern water tribe to learn bending
-zuko agrees to go with them just so he can see Katara kick paku’s ass 
-obviously zuko and sokka get together at some point
-when the gaang finds joung joung zuko makes fun of him cause zuko was there when he broke up with piandao cause he was afraid of being found out (cause being gay was illegal) and piandao kicked his ass even though he’s a non bender
Meanwhile Azula thinks she could have prevented zukos death somehow, maybe helped him with his fire bending or hadn’t bullied him so much or something. 
Ozai kind of focused on her more and started to look down on her a lot more cause he couldn’t compare her to zuko. He put a lot more pressure on her and it drove her away from him, she started seeking his approval less and less, instead growing closer to her mom and uncle. Her mom was constantly worried she would screw up and Azula would die too, but she was Ali scared of making her think she was trying to replace zuko. But by being rather open with Azula about that it never really became an issue. 
Azula took up sword fighting and trained with piandao and she got a lot of character growth from that, cause she wasn’t naturally good at it and really had to work hard. Piandao was not someone she could bully or manipulate, so she had to struggle with earning someone’s approval. 
Piandao told her at some point that sword fighting was not something that came naturally to anyone, and you had to work hard your whole life to be really good. He also said zuko was the fastest learner and best student he had ever taught. Piandao believed that zuko could have easily surpassed piandao himself within a few years.
Azula gets to go to the war meeting that zuko got banished at in the show, she also says the plan is wrong, but in a much more eloquent way that doesn’t dishonor the fire lord but does dishonor the general. She fights an Agni Kai against the general and wins.
The plan is done anyway, (zuko finds that message and is able to warn both the earth kingdom troops and the squad of fire nation soldiers that where going to die, it starts the rumor that the dragon of the east is actually prince zuko and it spreads, some solders start to rebel against their commanders in the name of the prince) Azula finds out about it much later and raises all kinds of hell over it, calling Ozai an “honorless coward who betrays his people, unworthy of the throne” to his face in front of a bunch of people.
Azula gets banished for it, Iroh comes with her and she’s now basically zuko from the show, but tasked with finding and capturing the dragon of the east to prove her loyalty instead of the avatar. At this point she does not know that it’s zuko.
She finds zuko didn’t recognize him and fights him, but he’s better than her, and then she sees the knife that Iroh have zuko just before he “died” and puts two and two together and comes up with seven. She thinks the dragon of the east is the assassin that killed her brother.  It kind of makes sense, if the assassination was his first act of rebellion, cause a string of jail breaks followed. 
I’m not really sure where the story could go after that but there’s a lot of potential for an invasion, since zuko knows so many people. Imagine them all showing up to help and they’re all like “oh hey zuko” and the gaang turns to zuko and ask how he knows them and he’s just like “that’s my mom/dad” and it just makes them more confused.

Finally, I am not the only one who noticed how rushed Paisley's redemption arc was. I know PBS Kids is ment to be for kids, but even children would notice how rushed some things are. First Stella, from Ready Jet Go: Space Camp, had a rushed character arc. Now Paisley, who didn't have much screen time as a villain might I add, immediately becomes an advocate for protecting nature. They could've at least have her rethink through her actions before changing sides.
I can tell that the show is already losing its taste. On the other hand, there are some positive things coming from the show, like Jimmy finally getting the spotlight, or fixing that annoying bright color pallette that I hated so much because it white washed Aviva at one point. But then there's the odd pacing and the cycle of plot holes and stupid stories like in No Name Dream. And I believe this is due to the fact a different studio is working on these recent seasons rather than the previous one that worked on the earlier ones.
Hell, I'm having more entertainment from the fandom's fanfictions than the actual show, especially since I've been seeing great talent and beautiful artwork from the best on Tumblr, Instagram, and Tik Tok. (Shout out to the Reprogrammed AU and Krattrastopic creators!) The fanfictions were more aware and accurate with the lore than the show itself.
But why am I complaining? I still liked the Blue and Green World special and still love the show itself. Just wished PBS Kids also cared about quality like they did in the past. If Bluey can impress all age ranges, then any kid show can. And hey, I actually wanted to see how Paisley being a good person would work in the franchise, even before the special came out.
Apologies if that sounded rude.

Prompt idea based on your soulmate AU where people are tied to the wrist once they meet their soulmate, and they stay tied until both (or more) parties admit their feelings.
In this au idea, Zuko is tied to Sokka. Which makes capturing the Avatar an awkward affair. This helps to (gradually) jumpstart the Zuko redemption arc. But neither Zuko or Sokka admit their feelings and they remain tied together up to book 2 (or longer)
Aang and Katara were also tied together but they admitted their feeling early on. Perhaps after the Jet affair?
Then once we get Azula’s introduction in book 2 in Omashu and later during the chase, Azula Mocks/laughs at Zuko for still being tied to his soulmate. Azula keeps laughing until she gets closer to Aang and Katara. The two parties exchanging bending attacks.
Azula’s laughter is abruptly put to a stop when a cosmic force bring her, Aang, and Katara closer together and ties all three of their wrist together (or reties them to each other and ties to the scary but pretty fire princess in the case of Katara and and Aang).
All three are of course dumbfounded. Simply staring at one another with wide eyes. Azula for her part can’t believe that she not only has two soulmates, but one of them is the Avatar (that she should either be capturing or slaying). While the other is a (admittedly pretty) peasant water bender. Any plans she had to either get her brother back home, win the war for the fire nation, or gain her lord fathers approval has been put to a sudden deafening halt.
For his part? Now it’s Zuko’s to turn to laugh uncontrollably and mock his sister for still being tied to her soulmate(s).
How do you think canon would evolve from here?
Thanks for the ask!
Ohhhhhhhh. I really like this idea!
Hmmmm...
For one, Zuko would never stop laughing. Not only is his sister how tied to her soulmates but she's tied to two of them. Katara is on one side and Aang is one the other. Firebending for Zuko is hard now that he has someone chained to his right hand but it becomes impossible for Azula. The only techniques she'd be able to do are firebreathing and smaller firebending moves.
Azula can't exactly go back to her camp with the Avatar and a waterbender being declared as her soulmates, so she'd forced to go with them. I think she would say that they have to go get Mai and Ty Lee though (Mai would definitely laugh a little when she sees Azula cuffed to Aang and Katara while Ty Lee would think it's sweet).
Aang runs into a bit of an issue because it's hard to earthbend when you only have one hand and your soulmate is tied to your other one and constantly messing you up.
Zuko and Sokka have already had a season and a half to work together and know how to operate. They might not be 100% ready to confess but they can function just fine while handcuffed. I imagine Iroh would be with the Gaang and helped Zukka, but he'd definitely have some words for his niece about how thing is a good thing.
Whenever I have Iroh with the Gaang, I like to think that the library and Appa being taken don't happen because Iroh is going to have a map of the Fire Nation and he'd know about the eclipse (I think), but you could go either way here. It would be a sweet moment to have Aang and Katara protect Azula from Wan Shi Tong, who wouldn't want any more Fire Nationals in his library.
Azula, Katara and Aang being a couple would be very interesting. Katara notices Azula’s nails dig into Appa’s saddle when they first take off so she offers her a reassuring smile and starts talking to her to calm her down. Azula and Katara talking about their mother. Aang making spicy food for Azula because she misses it from the Fire Nation. And, of course, the nightmare and comfort content for all three of them.
Ba Sing Se would be when Zuko and Sokka confess. It could be during one of their tales or during the final battle, but they confess in Ba Sing Se. Azula is no where near being ready to confess by the time of Ba Sing Se.
The only thing is that I don’t know how in denial Azula would be. She’s literally tied to her soulmates but I don’t know how willing she’d be to give up pleasing her father and it’s not like she can conquer Ba Sing Se with Katara and Aang attached to her.
This all being said, Toph, Ty Lee and Mai are loving this show.

Fake Dating AU, how aware is the actual production crew of what is actually going on with the cheating? are they as in the dark about what actually happened as the cast or are they very aware of it?
Mainly asking since depending on the timeline of events the entire plan to have Aleheather be potrayed as sympathetic and scorned relies on production not revealing it at the wrong time
like how would alenoaheather play around production revealing the plan, or alternatively, letting the plan go on for way longer than intended?
I think we touched on this very briefly in one of our reblog chains, but the production crew are fully aware of Alenoaheather's scheme- they're aware of everything that happens on the jet, since the whole thing is bugged with cameras.
Given the timeframes of both the episodes themselves and the Aftermath, it's safe to assume that each episode is edited and aired within a couple days of them being filmed, meaning the editing crew has a few days notice of any plot twists and can choose which footage to air accordingly.
So when the fake cheating plot is devised, the head of production decides to let it play out exactly as the three intend it to, but with the added bonus of the audience itself being kept in the dark. A ballsy move for a reality tv show, but a great plot twist to reveal later on in the season (they're investing in future drama. It's very on-brand).
Because what's better than a successful villain? A sympathetic villain.
Alejandro and Heather have set up the perfect antagonist redemption arc AND a bigger cheating scandal than the Gwuncan fiasco; it's ratings gold! So the production crew are instructed to play along, editing the episodes to ommit any mention of their ploy and depicting Heather and Alejandro as sympathetically as possible. (At the cost of Noah's reputation, but who really cares about him anyway?)
So pretty much everyone on the production crew are fully aware of what's really happening, they're all just under a non-disclosure contract so they can't spoil the season before it airs. Meaning that anyone In The Know can't leak their footage to clear Noah's name, or to expose Aleheather for being perhaps not as sympathetic as they've been portrayed as.
Of course, Aleheather spend the rest of the competition under the impression that the audience and the ex-competitors are fully aware of their ruse, so the warm welcomes they recieve in Hawaii come as a major shock to them until they realise that, oh shit, the show itself has played along with their scheme.
But that whole plotline has already been explored/explained in a previous reblog chain.
(Of course, this is all just my own ideas/interpretation. Nothing is set entirely in stone for this AU, and my word isn't law since it's become sort of a team effort, joint custody type deal. /pos)

Rhysothyweek day 4: Redemption. For which I drew a comic of my Transformers!AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some lore explanations for those who know nothing about transformers:
In this AU it’s a merge of both borderlands world and transformers, mostly based off IDW comics. Though I take details from other media just to sew everything together. Apologies to real transformers fans if I am not correct in something.
Spark could be described as a heart and a soul of a transformer. A part of the spark chamber, the organ it’s placed in, is a pretty intimate gift, which war-traumatized Tim doesn’t exactly realize. Cybertronian lovers usually just exchange inner energon - “blood” stored near the “heart”.
He used to be a jet, a jet that is afraid of heights, hahah. That’s why on second page he’s yellow. But his new pandoran paint job is red, and now he transforms into a heavy pandoran truck for distant travels.
I changed canon names to more suitable cybertronian names. I mean, you can’t have a jet named Jack. So he’s Jackpot. Rhys -> Viperdrive, Tim -> Sunspot/Sunrise.
Tim’s an ex decepticon, the comic takes place ages after the autobot/decepticon war ended. Tim hates his past, even though he wasn’t a decepticon by his own will - he was assembled by ‘cons, born one. Rhys is an archivist and before Pandora never really seen organic planet. He’s pretty young, mere centuries old, never seen the war and a real decepticon.
I’d you want more lore - feel free to DM me, because I’m afraid it won’t fit in this post.

ATLA NETFLIX, some of the thoughts I wrote down while watching:
The costumes!!!!!!
Fire. Bending.
The bending in general but FIRE bending and the way it left the victims.
Gasp! Oh, oh, oh! Help was sent to the earth kingdoms, maybe not the best fighters but still a lot of them, that's why the air nomads were wiped out and the southern water was devastated while the Earth kingdom stood the strongest. I like the way they set this up.
AAAAAAANG!!!
AIR NOMADS!!!!
Monk Gyatso!!!
Kinda bummed that Katara didn't break the ice by getting angry but I'm gonna be optimistic.
Hoooooo Sokka and Zuko exceed my expectations! "His destiny". "Repeating it doesn't help".
Although, the face burn is a bit underwhelming especially with what we just saw of the previous fire victims.
Sooooo excited for all the bending!!!
THE COSTUMES! THE TATTOO, ESPECIALLY THE WAY IT'S PLACED AROUND HIS ARMS!!!
Idk why maybe bcs Katara is my favourite so I'm watching her but she feels so.... Hmmm. Quiet. What happened to her lines at the beginning, for someone who's words are the first we hear in the OG.
When Sokka said "Before you kill someone", I expected at least a "Sokka!".
I do love the actress with the lines she's been given tho. With the rant to Sokka on the Air Temple. Gets that hopeful glint Katara has.
Zuko flipping out yes! He's so... Spazzy, does that make sense?
I'm not too young, I just haven't seen the world yet- Suki
Suki and Sokka are sooooooooo awkward I LOVE IT!!! Also that Mulan make-up remover. Asians are just built different I guess.
AANG AND KYOSHI!
Katara standing in Zuko's way- I can't wait until Zuko offers to kill her mother's killer with her!
We got Azula!!! Oh I love those first lines delievered like that!
Did I mention I love how Zuko is visibly falling apart, barely able to keep himself together, because I do, I really do!
Okay I'm gonna say it, Katara feels like she's just being dragged around everywhere. No- no initiative.
I....
Do not like that.
Feels like she's not getting riled up enough by Sokka maybe.
Mai is SO Mai, you can hear it so well!
They did Jet's intro good!
My Cabbages! The most passion so far!
Ooooh! Oh I do adore the secret tunnel scene in this!!!!
The Bumi actor is so good.
A friend. A friend! The direct Aang/Zuko and Gyatso/Iroh parallels.
The Zuko redemption storyline is living up to itself so far.
As for Azula, I really wished they left the breaking down era a little bit later. Like yeah, Azula wasn't right in the head from the beginning but that was shown more in how terrifyingly aloof and unstoppable she was in the earlier episode I believe but, well.
There's already a bond between Aang and Zuko but I've yet to see anything half like OG Katara and Aang!
Hmmm, actually, regarding Azula..... Ozai is, weirdly, invested in Zuko in a way we could've said OG Ozai would never say that. Which explains Azula here.
I love the avatar state glowy effects!
The sexism against Katara doubled and coated with genuine concern and real-life reasons that makes it hard to counter argue is making me lean in, in anticipation of how it will make my Katara blow up.
...... So no plan?..... I'm working on it, Uncle.
Sokka rushing towards Katara to 'convince her'.
Azula and Katara in the same episode is foreshadowing parallels.
Excited to have Katara's bending to visibly improve, like in the OG. And by that I meant how organically her water whip evolved smoother and faster in the animation. Like, you could see it.
........ Pakku vs Katara. Love the action, the effects. It could've been so good in regards to catharsis if Katara had just raged...... I'm just. Not going to.
Getting rid of their machine controls renders the fire army sitting ducks in the middle of ocean. Which makes me think of that reverse AU where the water tribe conquers the world.
If the water benders all work together, they can just have a giant tsunami turn them all over.
Master? Master Katara?...... That's so.... It's surprising rather than something you'd anticipate and cheer when we finally gain it.
Not a single waterbending training montage with Pakku. I'm still not sure if Pakku trained her or just gave her the title.
I like that I can tell that they know what they want to do with Sokka.
Not so much with Katara.
I gasped when all the Northern Tribe female waterbenders stepped forward like that.
So. There's a lot of stuff that they removed and added that I didn't like- less 'added', and more 'rushed'. Things that should've built up gradually, that could've been revealed in little bits were just immediately shown to us- my example here is Azula. When I first saw Azula, she was terrifying, her and her group were both my dream group and incited fear and awe in younger me, I didn't think she was insecure, I didn't think she was scared, she was practically the damn terminator with that epic episode of tracking the gaang slowly but steadily and driving them to exhaustion.
Is she actually insecure and batshit insane and scared? Yes. Was that what you were supposed to be able to tell with a single glance? No.
At first I thought maybe I was just biased with Katara, but I also feel like a lot of stuff they did with Azula was just.....
They did Sokka good, which was actually who I was concerned about the most. Zuko- I really love his portrayal. My moments of doubt with Aang are actually closely tied with Katara, which makes sense because hello, their friendship and bond was very important to the whole thing. Would've been a wonderful contrast to his Past bond with Gyatso and his Future bond with Katara.
I do think it's good.
Let me marinate on this.

don’t get me wrong I love everything about the zukka twilight au it’s perfect & so is the possible azula redemption hinted at the end & a new moon inspired sequel would take that away but a jet x sokka sequel with azula coming after sokka after zuko leaves would’ve been pretty fun
