Aang and Toph have been friends since middle school, but he's recently realized he wants more. But is it too late to tell her when he's leaving for the Peace Corps at the end of the summer?

Lots of new things for me in this one! Taang-centric, a true songfic, open ended? Look at me trying new stuff.

I know this is probably annoying. Great start right. But I just want to say, I read one of your very old stories (the untold avatar one) like once a year. Idk why, I only ever shipped that a little, yet the way you wrote the characters was so dramatic, fun and full of banter that it's one of the stories I haven't gotten out of my head since 2019 when I first read it. I'm not expecting a continuation btw, I'm an author myself and I know how you can lose the passion for a story people deeply love or just don't have the means to write it anymore emotionally speaking. But I just want you to know that whenever I think of that fandom, I specifically think of your fic. And I want to you to know the impact your stories have on people. You're a great author. And I'm sure in the years that passed you have become even better at your craft. You have a real talent at storytelling and especially at building character arcs. And you probably don't hear that enough.

Shit Anon, you got me actually crying here.

I really needed to hear this today.

This isn't annoying in any capacity at all, but instead very refreshing to hear. I gotta preface this with saying that Legends of Avatar: the Untold Story, is a very dear fic to me that I do plan to return to eventually. Not anytime soon, but ATLA's fanbase is timeless and I believe I can return to it whenever. But Taang has always been a special ship to me and so has Legend of Korra's lore and world building, and bridging the two quasi fandoms as a semi canon compliance/divergence fic mixed with a pre-canon timeline was a great challenge.

But in all honesty? That fic was a blast to write. As you say, the characters gave me so much to work with in the lens I wanted and I was warmed to see it was well received. Knowing I was working with an angle perceived as borderline crazy in shaking up canon, but still adhering to a strange set of consistencies was entertaining as I saw people slowly find intrigue. It worked.

Here's a crazy fun fact for all you new followers/readers of mine: all the shit I'm writing right now? Would not be possible if it weren't for Legends of Avatar: the Untold Story. It's why the stories I make today are thought out, thorough, but most of all, as true to character as I can work with. Putting my all into that story taught me that there is a payoff to dedication and practice. I was still an amateur then, but even I look back at that story and occasionally find myself gobsmacked with my prose.

"Wow, I wrote that? Me? Amazing!"

I don't think I'd edit anything aside from grammar mistakes when I do return, but I'm still proud of it. I still have notes and the whole plot laid out, so it's not like I don't know where it'll go. I still have the next chapter WIP set up and already begun. I've reworked it many times, but it's there!

And you, Anon?

You're the reason why I write these stories. I used to grow up reading fanfics, and to this day, I still stay up reading them. But I always had that feeling you describe, the one where when I think of a fandom there's just one fic, fanart, cosplayer, who just comes to mind. I never thought: "Wow, I wanna be that person!" But I always thought,

"I wanna make others feel things with stories the way they made me feel."

Occasional praise like yours is all I need sometimes, because it's a good reminder that though I have progressed as a writer, I still did touch people with my stories even then. Thanks, Anon. And I'm glad I managed to impact you and others, in ways like this.

Stay safe and take care all!

Until next post,

-- Bleh

Summary: No Prince of the Fire Nation had ever wed a foreigner. Then again, Zuko was no regular Prince of the Fire Nation. Scarred by his own father, abandoned by his mother, and now forced to look to the North Pole to meet his future bride, Princess Yue of the Water Tribe.

Summary: It starts out as a joke. Toph’s got an opening on her calendar and political arrangements happen all the time. No harm, no foul. Unless overdramatic, big-eared, passionate Twinkle Toes Aang has something to say about it.

Preview:

“We could get married,” Toph jests—and she cackles when Zuko makes another face. “No—really—you don’t want a wife, and I don’t want to be some nameless housewife pumping out babies. The Fire Sages will get off your ass and my parents can flex that I’m getting married to the goddamn Fire Lord.”

Posted about Chapter for my Right Time Wrong Tea Fic. Not sure why it is not appearing properly, but this is a continuation of a work I started back in the fall of last year but lost motivation to write it again. This chapter was a bit rougher, but hopefully it will help keep the writing momentum I have. Hope you all enjoy chapter 2!

Hey Stitch! Hope you’re doing well my friend!

I kid you not, I finally have some free time for the first time in months and I’m spending it by starting a Taang One Shots “re-read”

WE MAY NEVER KNOW HOW YOU CRAFTED SUCH A MASTERPIECE!

Take care :)

Thea!!! So good to hear from you! I’m glad you’re finding some free time, life certainly does get busy :)

Goodness, it’s crazy to think I’ve been done with that fic for some time now :O I admit I haven’t really written for Taang in a while but I’m still very fond of my lil universe, especially the dunebabies! Those kiddos deserve the world <3

I’m so glad you like that story to this day. Maybe if we find another ATLA renaissance I’ll find more inspiration to write for lots of ships once again! :)

(Of course, I’m always happy to chat, I just have to dust off that universe au and remember all my headcanons hehe)

Anyway, thanks for sending an ask! So lovely to hear from you, and I hope you have a fantastic day!! :D

……

Send me asks if you’d like :)

#what’s the stitch #My asks #thanks for the ask! #theaalvez #peeps being nice :’) #Taang one shots #Remember that old fic? #a stitch classic if you will LOL

[soopersara]

ATLA Fic where the series focuses on Taang/Zutara interactions? Episodes are rewritten to focus on building these ships. The characters had more interactions, characters like Toph were introduced earlier to give more moments with Aang, Zuko storyline show him having more interactions with the caste, etc. It was up to Book 4 I believe. I don't think it's Finding What You Weren't Looking For

I'm not sure what you're asking, anon. If this is an existing fic that you've read, I don't recognize it based on this description, and I'm not sure that anything I've ever read even comes close to it. Good luck on your fic search, I guess!

[fieldtripswith-zuko]

Half-Asleep by The Crushinator is just so top-tier. Very good, highly recommend. A slow-ish burn Zutara fic.

This is the fanfiction.net description:

"Five years after the Hundred-Year War, Fire Lord Zuko is hit with an assassin's dart, and falls into a coma from which he cannot wake. A week passes, and his prognosis is grim. But Katara could swear she hears him in her dreams..."

Hey everyone! Soooo have a confession to make. I am really freaking slow when it comes to writing about... Anything for the first when it comes to fanfics of a specific ATLA fic! Lol. Anyway, this is what I had been working on for the rest of the Sukka week prompts in other words this fic has every prompt except family portrait. And yeah I know Sukka week was a long time ago, but I subscribe to the reality that just like Zutara week is every week, so is Sukka week!

[thegaybluejay]

Just for fun, here are my rapid fire rambling thoughts on the ATLA ships and platonic dynamics hehe (please don’t go full ship wars tho - these are just my opinions as a chill multishipper!)

My Favorite Ships:

• Zukka - My current brainrot and main ship!! I know they aren’t canon but I really love them and their potential okay😭I just feel like their personalities would work so well! Sokka would call Zuko on his shit and Zuko would be good at grounding Sokka when he needs it. Plus I have seen some absolutely breathtaking AUs with this ship! And fire-and-ice vibes except gay! Them <3

• Kataang - Cutiessss!! I love them! They may not be the ship I think about most often, but when I do think about them, they’re adorable! Aang is such a “my wife” guy and Katara absolutely adores him back! Also the last airbender x last southern waterbender dynamic goes HARD! I like that these two are canon!

• Yuetara - Listen I know they barely interacted but THEY’VE ACTUALLY GROWN ON ME SO MUCH LATELY AND I VERY HIGH KEY SHIP THEM! Something about like, Katara thinking about Yue when she bends is so😭Their story would be heartbreaking in the best way!! Sapphic noncanon blorbos <3

• Mailee - These two are SO cute and have so much potential rahhh!! Again, love some noncanon sapphics <3

• Batkoda - Super SUPER cute and silly and fun! The dads fr <3 Bato is either Katara and Sokka’s adopted uncle or their stepdad and I love it for them hehe! This usually pairs well with a “Hakoda adopts Zuko” AU lmao!

Other Canon/Relatively Popular Ships:

• Zutara - A pretty good ship! I see the potential and tbh it’s very very fun to think about sometimes!!! However, some of y’all toxic Zutara stans need to leave my boy Aang alone lmao. Those who are chill tho, I rock with y’all!! Overall, I’m not opposed if it’s done well and I do occasionally seek out Zutara content! I personally do prefer seeing/writing them as found siblings tho, especially with the Azula and Katara parallels!!

• Sukka - Canon cuties!! I really like them! Suki my BELOVED <3 She’s so underrated!

• Yukka - Also canon cuties! They make me sad tho ahhhhh😭😭😭

• Maiko - Also ALSO canon cuties!! They have an interesting dynamic that I can really appreciate! And gotta love Mai <3

• Jinko - Jin my beloved! These two had a super cute dynamic during the one episode they had together lmaoooo, tho I don’t think about this ship too too often.

• Tokka - I don’t mind it if it’s them getting together as adults! But tbh I personally don’t prefer shipping them as teens and I think Toph’s crush was just a typical young girl crush on someone slightly older lol. Definitely not horrible and most Tokka shippers are relatively chill! I like to think Sokka sees Toph as a little sister tho.

Now For Some Of The Crackship-y/Less Popular Ships (based on ships I’ve actually seen):

• Zukki (Zuko/Sokka/Suki) - Power throuple fr and I love some polyamory!! While I mostly lean plain Zukka, this is extremely fun to think about and would be a great dynamic!

• Mai/Ty Lee/Suki - Saw this in a Zukka fic once and it was adorableeeeee! I may not have plans to actively write this or anything, but it’s cute! Another power throuple!

• Jetko - I don’t think they would be compatible long term, but by god they are very very fun to think about in a “Jet flirts with Zuko and Zuko is completely oblivious and they share one kiss before everything goes to shit” way lmao!

• Taang - I can respect it!! I will always love them as chaos siblings personally, but it’s a totally valid and chill ship!

• Katoph - Not a bad ship at all! I’ve only come across like one post tho lmao. Also I do think I heavily prefer them as found sisters, but that’s just me personally! Again, totally a valid and chill ship!

• Azutara - I’m very neutral on this lmao. I don’t despise it at all and it could be pretty interesting?? But tbh really not something I plan to seek out.

• Azulaang - I mean?? I’m also pretty neutral on this one. Aang would be kind to her if she was trying to get help but…idk lmao.

• Tyzula - I see the potential, but I personally think Mai and Ty Lee had a healthier and more interesting and more realistic dynamic. Just my preference tho!

(I think I just want Azula to be in therapy before I reallyyyyy ship her lmao, but NOT THE KIND OF “THERAPY” SHE WAS GIVEN IN THE COMICS)

• Zukaang - I don’t love this as a ship honestly. The canon age gap as teens is sketchy for my personal taste, tho I’ve seen people ship them in “Aang was 16 when he got frozen” AUs and that’s…better and I can get behind it a little! It would be interesting! But I think Roku being Zuko’s great-grandpa just still throws me off of this ship. I don’t have any beef with the shippers tho! I’m very “live and let live” and I have seen so much worse lol.

Can’t Forget My Fav Platonic Dynamics!

• Sokka and Aang - Two found brothers who share one idiot braincell when they interact LMAO! Love them always <3

• Sokka and Katara - The siblings ever!!

• Zuko and Aang - Enemies to found brothers!! Canon besties! I love their friendship and their parallels SO MUCH!!

• Toph and Katara - Absolutely ADORABLE as found sisters!!!! Love them!

• Zuko and Katara - I really like their development in a platonic sense and I think they’re very very fun and lovely found siblings by the end!!!! Zuko is 100% the brother that just “yeah my sister can and will whoop your ass” LMAO!

• Zuko and Toph - Also very found siblings in my head!! Only have a handful of solo interactions in canon but I DON’T CARE! I WILL FOUND FAMILY THEM ANYWAY! I’m a “Toph seeks out Zuko for sibling hugs/cuddles when she’s cold because he’s basically a space heater” truther.

• Uncle Iroh and the Gaang - Zuko needs to learn to share because that is ALL OF THEIR Uncle!!!

• Hakoda and Zuko - I thrive in this section of the fandom!! They have exactly one (1) frame together in canon, but I ADORE Dadkoda adopting Zuko! Something about it is just so wholesome and cute!!! My very very fav ATLA fics are this trope!!#LetHakodaBitchSlapOzaiAndAdoptZuko2024

• Uncle Iroh and Zuko - God they make me so ALSNDKSNXNCNSNSNXNX, y’know?

• The Gaang as a whole - Obvious I know, but I really do love them😭They all bonded sm and I adore their little family!! I eat up fanart of the Gaang cuddling like CANDY omg. And yes Suki is included in the Gaang because WHY WOULDN’T SHE BE!

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TedTalk. If you made it to the end, you get a big platonic kiss on the forehead MWAH!

[ecoterrorist-katara]

One thing I've come to realize is that male Kataang fans don't even try to hide their hatred of Katara. They're the ones behind those dumb memes about her talking about her mother. They're the ones who ignore that she was parentified. They're the ones to try to downplay how strong of a water-bender she is. They're the ones who preferred her in LOK.

They're the ones who show the most overall contempt for Katara. But they love Kataang because the "unattractive" guy got the "hot" girl he's been pining over the whole show

anon where’s the lie?? You’re so right. Katara’s value to them is “caring pretty girlfriend” and her other characteristics — positive or negative — are just not relevant to them. Never mind her trauma or her rage or her incredible accomplishments.

Tbh, I’ve seen some female Zvkka shippers act this way about Katara too, and ofc they also ship Ka/taang. The Katara ship I see in most Zvkka fics is Ka/taang, which is unfortunate because I also like Zvkka, but that makes it harder for me to enjoy most of the content. Anyway not every woman relates to Katara, obviously, but the way some Zvkka fans aggressively distance themselves from Katara is almost weird. I mean it’s not new for a female character to be downplayed in favour of an M/M ship, but it still annoys me. My pet peeve truly is “female character gets stuck in a mediocre canon relationship bc the M/M shippers can’t be assed to give her a better partner”

#Seriously why can’t we have Zukka with Harutara or Sukitara as the side ship? #why she gotta be stuck with Aang #I feel the same way about Drarry and Romione #like stick Hermione with Ginny or Luna or Neville but why Ron #anti kataang #anti zukka shippers #zukka as a ship is fine I can’t say shit about other people’s crack ships when I like azutara #can i ask you a question?

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

As a Taang shipper, I've long since learned not to go through the taang tag, since it it's filled with zutarians who only ship taang because it gets Aang out of the way and "Toph doesn't take any of his bs" which is a...horrible reason to ship something, but anyways, for some god forsaken reason I decided to look through it today, thinking maybe it would have some half-decent stuff in it...

Nope. Practically every other post is a "meta" about how zutara/taang is so much better than kataang actually and low-key Aang bashing. The only actual taang content is some of those incorrect quotes stuff and some art. Is it too much to ask for a ship tag to actually have content of that ship in it? If I go into the Taang tag, I'm looking for Taang, not Aang bashing and zutara. Like wtf.

It doesn't surprise me one bit - half of their metas and fics for the ship they actually want to happen is just bashing Kataang. It's no wonder that the ship they latched onto just because it "gets Aang out of the way" suffers of the same problem.

And gotta love how that's them admiting "The only way Katara won't date Aang is if he's already with someone else"
