“Thank you, Yue,” she tells the moon. “Thank you for always listening.” Yue will be the one person Kya won’t have to leave behind. No matter where she finds herself, so long as she can still see the sky, Yue will be there to listen. And Kya will be okay so long as she has one friend she can talk to.

five times kya talks to yue from afar + one time she talks with her face-to-face

the time of your life

Rating: G

Pairing: Gen

Chapters: 1/1

Summary: Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot make memories at a Green Day concert and contemplate what it means to truly feel alive.

Written as a late submission for @atla-gen-week for day 6: free space

Green Day is not exactly his taste in music, but it’s Jet’s and Smellerbee’s. They eat, sleep, and breathe Green Day. Jet even gave himself a hand grenade tattoo on the underside of one of his biceps. Longshot’s taste is more to the tune of Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend. But Jet got an amazing deal on three tickets and Longshot couldn’t say no—he can never say no to Jet.

So now here they stand, the hot August sun baking on the blacktop they stand on. Longshot is wearing a borrowed band t-shirt with the album cover for Dookie on it. He looks plain compared to Jet and Smellerbee: band tees, ripped black skinny jeans, rubber band bracelets and studded leather straps adorning their arms, thick black eyeliner lining their eyes. Smellerbee is rocking a leather jacket with metal spikes on the shoulders, her chestnut hair teased into a frizzy cloud around her head, her dark bandana still in its usual place.

Jet wears the remnants of a Nimrod t-shirt that he says he got from the boy who introduced him to the band; it’s an original. The sleeves have been taken off, and it’s been cut into a cropped top, showing off his tanned stomach. He wears a long-sleeve cropped fishnet top under it. He’s got that rugged rebel charm, that charisma that drew the quiet Longshot and the wayward Smellerbee towards him in the first place. Longshot is here because of him, because of that energy, as much as he is for anything else.

Longshot has never really known a family, known what it meant to have someone you’d be willing to die for, but now he does. Looking at Jet and Smellerbee with their huge grins and wild eyes, he knows he’d do anything for them.

Day 7: Free space.

Sneak peek of “Fairy Odd Parents au” (Padrinos mágicos au) Ty Lee, Azula, Yue, Mai and Zuko are soulmates, when one of them dies they become a fairy odd parent that only their soulmates can hear. Everyone else can only hear sounds of burning embers (because he’s from the Fire Nation).

[ID: Illustration in monochrome magenta. Ty Lee, Azula, Yue and Mai with modest and calm smiles stand and on top, Zuko little child, diminutive in size, flies with transparent wings while he looks down and waves in amusement.

Ty Lee in three-quarter pose with her right leg bent leans on her left leg, she stands behind Azula, who is in formal armor, in her left hand there are sparks of electricity; just to the left of her is Yue, she wears a dress below the knees, with the edges covered with fur, her right arm is bent and her hand rests on her hip. Mai stands behind Yue, her pose is three-quarter length, her left hand plays with two throwing knives. End ID]

Day 5: Childhood/children.

This is a glimpse of our AU “Fire Sage Lu Ten”.

[ID: Mini comic with two vignettes in monochrome magenta.

In the first vignette, a pre-teen Lu Ten confidently and excitedly says “I’m a prince!, how hard can it be?” he holds Zuko and Azula who are little children in each arm, Zuko in the right arm and Azula in the left arm, they are holding hands on the front of Lu Ten. In the background on the left side it reads “Babysitter for the first time” with emphasis lines on the edge of the vignette.

In the second vignette, in a darkened stillness, Zuko and Azula are floating, both with glowing eyes, mouths open as they hold hands. Lu Ten screams frightened. End ID].

I’m sorry if this has already been answered, but what’s your policy on late submissions?

Hi! Originally the late submission date was 9/17, but I'm probably going to extend it until the end of the month because I've seen a lot of people are still working on things (myself included lol) :)

Day 4:  Forgiveness.

Lightweight AU where Zuko and Azula get along, but things happened and they got hurt/confused (but not so much) while Zuko was banished. When they arrive at the NF there is a conspiracy against Ozai because he only hinders their plans.

The servants: Is this dangerous?… Well yes, but give it a go!

[ID: Mini comic with two vignettes in monochrome magenta.

In the first vignette, teenage Zuko and Azula, dressed in formal robes, are sitting in a seiza position under the shade of a tree in one of the royal palace gardens. Zuko with his eyes closed and a calm expression has short and loose hair, in his lap there are two baby turtleducks. Azula has the same expression and on her lap is a baby turtleduck trying to eat a piece of bread from her hand. Zuko says “I forgive you, Lala”, Azula replies “I forgive you too, Zuzu”. Zuko continues “Now that we’re on the same page…” and Azula ends by saying “Yes, we must treat father”. In the background there is an open manor that separates and in one of them, on the upper right side, there are two servants, a man and a woman.

In the second vignette, the male servant located on the right side exclaims in surprise “Did you hear the same as me!?” and the feminine servant on the left side with raised shoulders and raised fists at her chest level, while she smiles conspiratorially and excitedly answers “Yes, finally a blow to the tyrant!”.

summary:

Soon, he found a figure slumped against the crumbling wall of a small building that looked like it might collapse at any moment. Their eyes were closed, but their breathing was shallow. A lump rose in Kelsang’s throat; their ill-fitting garment could not conceal the thinness of those arms, nor the shadow of the ribs beneath them as they clutched their chest.

He crouched down at a respectable distance. “Kyoshi?

[Back from the search for the Avatar, Kelsang finds Kyoshi in less than ideal health, and vows to never let that happen again.]

Day 2: Culture.

The Fire Nation has some strange and extreme customs. Some just.

[ID: Mini comic with four vignette in monochromatic magenta.

In the first vignette, teenage Azula, Zuko and Lu Ten walking uphill toward a volcano. The setting is tropical and the three are seen from the back. Azula says “Since the last eruption of that volcano 50 years ago, new species of plants continue to be found”, Lu ten replies “Excellent! It is an opportunity to see first hand what is there”, and Zuko mentions “Who knows, we might find some hallucinogenic mushrooms that I’m missing”.

In the second vignette, Zuko and Azula are shown in the foreground observing some mushrooms on some rocks with other plants. Azula says “I don’t think you have those in your collection, Zuzu” and Zuko adds “I had never even seen this mushroom before”.

In the third vignette, Lu Ten quickly snatches the mushroom from the rock and chews it, saying “For science!”, while Zuko and Azula look scared and surprised yelling “Lu Ten, no!!”.

In the fourth vignette, there is a note in the Recipe Book that says “An investigation after the incident with the Fire Lord Lu Ten, the use of that mushroom was allowed as an ingredient for an exotic culinary sauce, which properly prepared and depending on its concentration, its effects vary from sweating to hallucinogenic visions”.

So really, Azula is fine. Winter is just annoying. It comes and it goes, and Azula’s lungs have never suffered any long-term damage, nor has she passed out because she couldn’t breathe. As long as she’s not actively dying, she’s doing alright.

or: azula's asthma is triggered by cold weather at an academic bowl meet. luckily, she has people who are looking out for her

For day 3 of @atla-gen-week, here's Toph!!

ID: Digital art of Toph from Avatar: the Last Airbender. It is a shoulders-up portrait of her in a pop art-inspired style. She is grinning off screen, and one hand is in frame flipping off the viewer. Toph wears a tan tunic over a green shirt, and her black hair is in a bun held back by a green headband with bangs that partially obscure her eyes. The background has two yellow triangles and the word "Toph!" Image is signed and dated 2022. END ID

Here's a portrait of Toph for day 3: disability!

[zukos-firebending]

For day two of @atla-gen-week here's a panel redraw from Suki Alone:

ID: digital art of Suki and Avatar Kyoshi facing each other, shown in side profile. Suki stands with her fists clenched at her sides, looking up at Kyoshi with a concerned expression. She wears a fire nation prison outfit consisting of a loose red tunic and pants, and her hair is half-up. Kyoshi is standing with her hands held loosely at her sides and a neutral expression. She is slightly transparent and glows blue, like an apparition. She wears her traditional outfit, consisting of a green layered tunic, metal arm and hand guards, and a golden headpiece. Her face is painted white with red and black eye and lip makeup. The background is a tan stone wall. END ID

In Suki Alone, Suki is visited by Avatar Kyoshi. Kyoshi might be an Avatar projection, or a vision, but is also interpretable as a hallucination.

Day 1: Family.

PD: Well, we have an au about this, it’s called “Breakfast Royal Family” (”Familia Real del desayunito”), and it’s too random to explain it, because that’s it, just random.

[ID: Mini comic with four vignette in color monochrome magenta. In vignette one, Azula as a little girl is slightly disheveled, Zuko also a child tells her “Do you know your’e messing up you hair while your’e triying to fix it?”. She replies “I want it to be like father’s”. Zuko replies “Father doesn’t even know potatoes, Lala”, while Azula claims “If you know how to do it, help me!”. Ozai stands in the background waving his right arm shooing away a falcon as he replies “As if combing hair was so simple! And get your falcon out of here, Zuko!”.

In the second vignette, several journalists are surprised and confused by the scene. Two of them, a man and a woman, are holding notepads.

In the third vignette, Lu Ten is shown in the foreground saying “Not again” with a slightly doubtful and resigned expression, with a straight mouth, one eye narrowed, and a small frown.

In the fourth vignette, Lu Ten slides in from the right side saying “The fishing industry this year regarding…” side trying to hide Zuko who grabs the detached bun from Azula’s head as she flails, and Ozai grapples with the falcon that is attacking him on the head. At the lower left corner of the vignette you can see part of the journalists’ heads with question marks above them. End ID]
