"Could you describe her for me?"

Herc paused then, blinking at the quiet girl in front of him. The morning rain had left the air pleasant on the roofed gardens, rose-white clouds casting shadowed patterns throught the sides over the patch of grass where Herc and Mako sat in comfort. Stacker Pentecost, Marshall of the Hunter Order and father of the young girl, was absent that day. Only his voice and steel tone could be heard pass the garden walls as he commanded the training drills of the day.

Herc eyed his son sitting on one of the high windows on the wall above, pretending to be too busy supervising the training grounds to listen to his father's tale. Yet, Herc knew him better than that.

Describe Jazmine Becket.

If it wasn't evident, he had no expected to be asked of her. Yancy and Raleigh? Sure thing, his mouth was beginning to smile on his own every time some young girl or pal with blushy cheeks asked about the princeses. Are they as blond as we've heard of? Are their eyes as blue? Are they as handsome? As powerful? As charming? As rich? As funny? As kind?

At his age, Hercules Hansen was not a man of great passions anymore ---or at least he was not the type to publicly share them. Life had took his wife from his side and drove his brother crazy. The love he felt for them was a fresh wound in his chest, a particular nasty breed of grief and devotion and the Hansen way, old and worn as rock itself. No, he was not a man of flashing cards as he shuffled.

It didn't mean he was immune to the Becket fever, not in the least.

He had met them once, about two years ago. Herc had gone to Richard Becket's crowning ceremony, taking gifts from all the Beckets in the name of the King of the Wild, Herc's true title to the world. Chuck has stayed at home, not wanting to leave his mother side in case... In case she woke up. What if she opens her eyes and we are not by his side, dad? He had wailed, tucking his 12 years old frame into the space between her bed and the window. What if we come back and she's gone?

So Herc had travelled alone, unwilling to tell the truth to his only son: that his mother had fallen for a spell with no solution; that she will never wake up from her slumber; that he had the chance to wake up only one of them and he had given the antidote to Chuck.

Maybe that was what cemented his feelings for the Beckets at the time. The empty space where the Queen should sit, the goblets full of wine that tilted and stained the robes of the King every time he asked for a new drink. The eyes, sharp and oh-so-awake, of Prince Yancy Becket, meeting Herc's stare with the resolution of a 20 years old that knows his time is closer than anyone imagine.

In front of him, Pentecost's daugther folded together her hands on her lap, always polite as she waited for Herc to continue. Mako, he knew, was not much like any other kid from the outside. She must be 13 years old, a year or months younger than Chuck. Of course, he told himself, of course she wants to know about Jazmine. She must have heard of the other two from her father, but Pentecost had never met the youngest and brightest of the three. Jazmine had not become a knight, like her siblings, or a traveler, like her mother.

Chuck had one leg dangling from the side of the wall, the other bent at the knee to rest his forearm in it. Even with his back to them, Herc could read the interest of his son in the answer by the way Chuck had turned slightly in their direction. It was in his shoulders, and of course, in the fact Prince Hansen wouldn't miss the chance to know more about Raleigh Becket, his childhood hero.

"Young," his eyes fell from his son to the the Princess of the Hunters, blue bangs freshly dyed and hair cut shorter, "and diligent. She rules Anchorage while her brothers clean the land from monsters."

"How old is she?"

"16 years old, soon."

The wind picked up, forcing Herc to stop and Mako to hold her bangs out of her face. Fall in the Wild Lands was hotter than most, but Angela's ancestors had built the castle to let the wind run always placid, allowing the sun to land always true. His people used to said it was never blinding nor fastidious, often one shade away from your arse, something that made Herc cackle every time.

Nearing sunset hours now, the residuals of the early rain kept the gardens comfortable. Herc had loved that castle from the moment he saw it, when he was but a cadet walking inside the gates beside his brother Scott. He would never forget how the wind had picked up then too, carrying some delicate woman's handkerchief to Herc's grip. That's how he'd met Angela, blushing as she claimed it to be hers and teased him for following the wind of destiny when it called.

He wondered what such wind was trying to tell him. Above him, Chuck's shadow shifted.

"Is that all?"

Oh, yes. They were talking about Jazmine Becket, weren't them?

"I'm sorry, Miss Mori. I can't say much more from my experience. It's true she was there on her father's coronation, but the ladies and the dance kept her away most of the night. She was 15 years old and I, a man of war and politics, didn't want to bored the princess to no end."

Herc shook his head at the disappointment of his son and their companion, not wanting to aggravate them youngs more. Mako had distracted herself playing with the grass and Chuck had turned away completely, bored or pretending to be, muttering curses under his breath.

"Although I can tell you what I've heard of her in the tales the travelers had brought to me." Herc cought, keeping his laughther at bay as the teens faltered in their brooding. "In the South is hard to find true worda about her. It is our luck that the princeses seem unable to abandon their sister's memory at home as they change camps. Perhaps those stories will suffice your curiosity, miss Mori, if you're willing to wait for dinner to be served. As for now..."

Herc stood up. He could tell the answer by the light on Mako's eyes, the gentle curve of her lips forming a gracious smile. He'd try to get Chuck to join their conversation, as he knew his son would want to but never admit it in fear of making a fool of himself.

" ...I must go to confer with the Marshall the state of our knight force and the status of the upcoming operations. If you excuse me."

He exchanged bows with miss Mako, feeling more than seeing the moment Chuck landed on the grass and made his way to Herc's side. Together they marched from the gardens to the central towers, where Chuck would walk up to his chambers without a word said to his father and Herc would continue to the war room, waiting for Stacker to arrive.

one thing i can talk about is how ive kind of taken to the idea that 🐟 is a little bit nameless. like beyond a callsign i think they simply dont use one.

#i think they kind of ditch it after the radiation sets in. whats the point anymore.#they just kind of let other people figure out how to refer to them #but most of the time they just arent around people enough to worry about it #its a cute little parallel to roadhog. when you symbolically die.#and hog would be the only person who knows hir actual name. and personally i think hog would be pretty protective over his name too #i dont really like when fanon stuff has people referring to him as mako super casually #i mean. really theres like. one or two character who calls him by it in canon and in both cases its implied they were pretty close.#one being someone who knew him before regardless.#and iirc the only time he gives it willingly is to junkrat. but in pretty much everything from his pov #he refers to it as almost a seperate entity. specifically saying Well That Guys Dead Its Roadhog Time #which yeah you could take it as a metaphor or hyperbole #but as someone who Literally Lives That Way irl. i think its fun to give him.ambiguous disorder.#ANYWAYSSSSSSSSS i think 🐟 is more or less nameless before ovw and goes by the callsign later.#but i think for most of the inbetween time theyre just the fish.#i do have a name picked out though and its soooo self indulgent #fishhook

like i'm sure veridia had phases of hating rita for abandoning her and feeling worthless because she chose a land boy over the pod her but she was so happy to welcome her back she just had like, a decade of love for her with nowhere to put it ;-;

#h2o tag #i wish there'd been more hesitance in her decisions regarding mako #we got a lot of rita's angst but not much for veridia and it would've been nice to see #her have to let go of the possibility of rita ever coming back #and the choice to leave mako and find another home would've been the final goodbye to any chance of rita changing her mind #bc ultimately.... as much as rita was banished it was her own choice #and bby!rita thought veridia had sent people to come change her mind when the girls showed up #so she would've been able to come back if she begged and veridia probs always held out some hope for that #and i want to believe veridia like... eventually let her emotions abt rita turn negative so she could allow herself to move on #and be more icy at the thought of letting her back in #bc we see how capable she is of being a bit ruthless and cold when it comes to the safety of the pod #and i think you could take that and infer some of it being directed toward rita as well #but it feels like (and we do kind of see) that the more important bits of their relationship happened off screen #which makes sense bc it isnt the focus of the show and just seeing them walk off screen together is enough for me jkls;dfdklj #so yeah wouldve been nice to see more from veridia's pov on it all but we got a ton from rita that bounces off of veridia so #that's all i can ask for

Jealous or Attracted? | KorrAsami x Reader Headcanons

╰┈➤ PLOT: Headcanons of you figuring out your feelings for KorrAsami.

╰┈➤ WARNINGS: No Use of Y/n, Cursing, Not Proofread, Second POV, Lowercase Intended

⍣ ೋ Enjoy!⍣ ೋ

(A/N): Requests are open for KorrAsami x Readers! Just check out my request rules before submitting! Request Rules!

– when you first met KorrAsami, they were dating each other.

– you already knew of Korra with her being the Avatar and everything and for Asami, you knew of her but only because of the drama that went down with her dad and Future Industries.

– you can't exactly remember how you met them, but you vaguely remember a party and Bolin, your closest friend, dragging you to it and insisting that you meet the rest of the Krew.

– Also, the fact that they call each other the "Krew" was so cute to you, you wanted in.

– and so there you saw Korra and Asami dressed in their best party wear, holding glasses of colored clear liquid and giggling with each other.

– At first, your stomach fizzed with butterflies but you assumed that was your jitters

– you didn't think the butterflies was because the two of them looked good enough to make your knees shake or your face burn. no, not at all!

– why would it anyways? You couldn't be attracted to a couple. that's weird. Like licking a flagpole and drinking a smoothie made of grass and boiled egg yolks. That's weird.

– and you weren't weird. (or at least not that weird).

– anyways, as the party went on, you got to know the two more.

– you got to know that Korra's a bit goofy and playful, that she isn't always the stubborn and hotheaded Avatar everyone knows her to be and you also figured out that Asami made her very shy, very easily.

– with how she acted towards the general public and threats, you thought Korra would be the one to make her significant other shy with flirts and cocky sentences, but it turns out that Asami was the one to. and she wasn't even flirting.

– Asami would give one smile and quip to Korra and the Avatar would melt like ice cream on a hot summer's day. It was cute, honestly but also made you ick on the inside.

– you didn't know why. you had nothing against the two and PDA, but seeing them flirt with each other gave you a certain pang in your chest.

– after the party's events, you found yourself getting closer and closer to the "Krew".

– you weren't close enough to consider yourself a part of Team Avatar but enough to be considered Team Avatar's friend.

– when you hung out with the Krew, you would linger around KorrAsami. Wherever they went, you went.

– Bolin teased you about this, naturally, being your best friend and all, but you denied the allegations he tried to make. --

"You have a crush on them!" "Please, I do not. I'm hanging out with them because i want to get to know them more. That's all."

"But you even laugh at their jokes. You never laugh at Mako's and I's."

"That's because you and Mako aren't funny."

"And Korra and Asami are?"

"Precisely." --

– And it was true. You didn't have a crush on them and they were funny.

– Korra and Asami have this type of humor that's unique to them. They feed off of each other and often make snarky remarks about inside jokes or shared experiences. Being a part of that was an accomplishment in its own.

– something would happen when you guys were out and about and you would share the same look.

– the only times the jokes got "bad" was when someone made the other laugh a bit louder than usual.

– like one time Korra made Asami laugh so loud and hard that she cried with a red face.

– the feeling that stirred in your stomach wasn't pretty. it was like whatever you had for lunch curdled and violently punched you in the gut over and over and over again.

– you would seethe every once and a while. Why was Korra making her girlfriend laugh upsetting you? It shouldn't matter what she does. She's her girlfriend and has the right to make her laugh. It would probably be more concerning if Asami laughed harder at your jokes.

– Right?

– It would be great to make Asami laugh like that though. Her sparkling green eyes come to a close as her eyes squint. Her hand would politely cover her lips with a hooked finger, further pushing the elegant and proper look she's made of herself. And even though her blush does this for her already, her cheeks would be redder from how hard you made her laugh.

– Isn't that normal for a homie to want? It was normal to want to share that experience with Korra; making Asami laugh. These were all normal things. Right?

– It had to be. It's what you thought about at night. Making Asami laugh, making Korra shy, holding their hands and nuzzling your nose against their cheeks. That's all very normal things to think about when it comes to your friends.

– you never thought that way about Mako or Bolin of course. They were like siblings to you so, they were sibling pretty. Not the weak-in-the-knees-heart-racing-platonic-pretty Korra and Asami were.

– Well, Bolin didn't think so. Deny all you want, say what you want, but he saw the way you looked at them.

– He saw how your eyes light up when they come over to talk to you or how cutely small and shy you'd get when they hug you at the same time. He saw how you would point them out in everything you see, even if you're not with them.

– Bolin knows you and apparently, he knows you better than you know yourself.

– He knew you so well that he could tell when you were jealous and he could tell when you were attracted.

– when you were jealous: when their PDA gets too much, when they walk away together, when they make inside jokes, when they call each other "babe", and when they prefer each other over anyone else in the Krew.

– when you were attracted: when their attention is on you, when they talk to you one-on-one (mano-y-mano as Bolin referred), when they would hug you or take you out as a trio, when they compliment you, when they spring into action or act serious, and so much more that Bolin could write a whole book about your attraction towards the pair.

– Honestly, Bolin understood the attraction. He had a crush on Korra once. Mako too! In fact, everyone in the Krew had a crush on her so the fact that you had a crush on her (and her girlfriend) just met you're officially a part of their friend group now. Yay!

– now, Bolin never told you that he's aware of the crush you had on the pair but he would hint at it with suspicious winks, wiggles of his brows, and jokes that confused everyone else but you.

– "Yeah, red and blue sure are attractive colors, huh?" then he'd nudge you and you would freeze with a nervous smile.

– Mako, Asami, and Korra would have no clue what Bolin meant. Especially since they were talking about imprisoning war criminals when Bolin blurted. But hey, randomness is what Bolin is known for.

– A couple of weeks after that incident, you finally came to terms with yourself. You had to, the jealousy was getting too much that the girls were picking up on it.

"Whoa, you good?" Korra chuckled, noticing your glare after she kissed Asami's cheek. "You're uh, looking angrier than Mako on a good day." On a good day, you would tease her back but the feelings were too much.

The thoughts of holding them, kissing them (and not just on the cheek), and spending time with them was overwhelming and taking over every fiber of your being.

You couldn't watch them interact with each other without a firey burning in your chest and the clench of your fists. Also, you're pretty sure you've shaved a couple of centimeters off your teeth from all the teeth grinding you've been doing.

The girls have been giving you curious looks when you would glare in their direction. They'd awkwardly look at each other and then get away from your gaze to avoid confrontation.

Korra and Asami never assumed you were the type to judge their love, they didn't get that vibe from you, so it was a nerving surprise you got angry whenever they showcased public displays of affection.

"Yeah." You eased your shoulders from your ears. "I'm fine. Sorry. Just stressed."

"You must be chronically stressed then," Asami spoke as she slung an arm around Korra's shoulders. Your lips tensed at the sight. "Because you're always making faces or scowling nowadays."

"Yeah, you're doing it now actually," pointed Korra. You eased your lips again. Damn, it's like second nature to tense up or scowl whenever you see them interact. That wasn't healthy. At all.

These are your friends. By the expressions on their faces, you can see they're getting uncomfortable holding each other around you. Asami slowly moved her arm away from Korra with a frown and they tried not to show it, but they held each other's hands behind their backs.

Your friends had to hide their true selves from you because you're too afraid to admit your feelings.

Is this what you want? For them to be afraid and think you're someone or something you're not? Of course not. It was time to face the music. You have a crush on Korra and Asami.

Now, what are you going to do about it?

To be continued. | WC: 1,570

kyalin from mako's pov

Mako was one of the first people to figure out they're dating. He didn't say it but he knew.

One of the big hints was how Lin's demeanor changed around Kya. Whenever Kya came with lunch to the headquarters Lin's shoulders would relax and she'd talk in a softer tone to everyone

One time, he caught them kissing and just smiled, happy that someone appreciates how great of a person Lin is. He told them it's none of his business and wouldn't tell anyone

After that, Kya wouldn't shut up about Lin during their healing sessions for his hand. It revealed another side of Lin to him

Lin came over during those healing sessions from time to time and they would chat a lot. That's why they started being on first name basis

hi bestie okay so i rewatched all of lok season four in the past twenty four hours and i also reread several chapters of complicated do you uhhh have more wuko fic recs for me <3

reporting for duty 🫡

i’ll start off first of course by linking complicated, in case anyone who follows me still doesn’t know that this is one of THE fics of all time. but beware you WILL come out of it a full wuko believer. jo is proof.

part 2 of complicated (a mid fic wu pov snippet)

part 3 of complicated which takes place after complicated, which i have never read??? it came out only a few months ago?? brb

i basically recommend every wuko fic the complicated authors have ever done:

bad liar (this one was put on permanent hiatus i guess :/ the most recent chapter sets up how the last chapter might’ve gone pretty well so… i just kinda imagine it’s complete lol)

in the dark

so good it hurts

boy problems

haunted house

stone cold

yours, wu

other wuko fics i loved:

on a cold winter night

take my hand written by YOU!! it’s crazy bc i probably read this way before i ever got into zukka not knowing i would and that we would become friends!

the art of wu(ing) which is part 2 of a zukka fic, which lowkey made me at least appreciate zukka from a distance, which led me to read blue and then we were done lol. basically you can thank this fic for me even being part of zukka nation

these are fics i haven’t read yet but look great:

i’m feeling good (like i never should)

negative space

this might sound weird but i like you

mako and the terrible, awful, no-good, very bad road trip - i have been waiting for this one to get completed before i read the whole thing but i might cave

i’m also gonna cc @kingwuko on this post bc they are my fav wuko blog and might have other fic recs that haven’t crossed my radar! xoxoxo

#happy reading!!#i apologize in advance for any formatting issues due to this being on mobile #ask #lesmiserablol #wuko #fic rec #to read
