Title: We Run with the Wolves

Pairings: Song/Katara

No Warnings

Summary: “We want to use you to gather intelligence on Ozai’s activities,” Sokka explains. “That way we can figure out a surefire way to take him down.”

“Something that would either end his political career or implicate him enough that the Fire Nation government would have no choice but to depose him,” Suki says.

“Only if you want to,” Aang adds hastily. “It could be dangerous.”

Aris’ mouth opens, maybe to object, but Song cuts across her. “I’ll do it,” she says, looking at Katara. Putting her life in danger in the hopes of getting to hang out with a pretty girl? Maybe the queerest thing Song has done to date.

*** In which the Gaang are ecoterrorists. but like, for realsies this time

Mob AU for @atla-wlw-week week free day!!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Azula/Katara (Avatar) Additional tags: Angst with a Happy Ending, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Ozai’s A+ Parenting, (be gay do crimes basically), Azula (Avatar) Redemption, sometimes redemption is putting your father in jail, cutting your hair, and becoming an anarchist

Summary:

“Bitch. You can say bitch.”

“I’m not going to say that.”

“It’s accurate. And no great betrayal of your deeply held feminist principles if I give you my explicit permission to do it. Really. You can call me a bitch.” She points to herself. “Bitch. It’s easy. You try.”

“No! – I’m not going to call you a bitch, Azula.” She sighs. “It’s almost like you want me to hate you.”

========= 

Frustrated with life at the snobby, elite Ba Sing Se Academy she’d won a scholarship to attend, Katara, a fourteen year old would-be revolutionary, begins sneaking out of the upper ring at night to cause trouble. It only gets really dicey when the great-granddaughter of the deposed Fire Lord Sozin, a girl with razor-sharp eyeliner, gets involved.

Or: getting caught shoplifting with the girl you hate most in the world can be a very moving experience, actually.

A very (very!) late submission for @atla-wlw-week day 2: rivals

[wait-atla-isnt-just-zukka]

[ID: A digital drawing of Korra and Asami. Korra is dipping Asami like Catra dips Adora in “Princess Prom,” from She-Ra. They are turned slightly right. Korra is wearing a blue suit with a white shirt, and her hair is short in her season four style. Asami is wearing a red dress with a gold belt, and her hair is down. Korra is smiling at Asami, and Asami has a neutral expression. The background is a soft yellow. End ID]

Once again, I didn’t draw this, I just colored in a picture.

[timetohope]

please forgive me for the things i’ve left unsaid

tags: kanna/yugoda (avatar), yugoda (avatar), kanna (avatar), hakoda (avatar), time skips, grandmas in LOVE!!!, betrothal necklace (avatar), promises, getting back together, post-canon, but also, pre-canon, mentions of p-kku

words: 3364

summary: kanna throws a final fur at her and shuts the drawer. yugoda quickly folds the fur and places it in the bag carefully. “is that it?” she asks, careful to mask just how anxious that question makes her. when kanna is finished packing, she’ll be ready to leave.

when kanna leaves, yugoda will be alone with only kanna’s polar bear dog at her side. yugoda’s now, she supposes. inaq, the dog, couldn’t come on the sea voyage with kanna, so he will be left here. just like yugoda.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

[thornztli]

happy atla wlw week!

day 7: korrasami

this was my first time in participating in something like this, i’m really glad that i did. i feel like i was able to improve my digital art a lot, even though i’ve only just started drawing digitally (fyi, i am a better artist than my digital art reflects. check out my instagram @liavrz) so i’m glad i did this. thanks everyone for all your nice comments and support, too!

for my final drawing for atla wlw week, i decided to go with something simple. just korra and asami, finding comfort in each others arms. also, any excuse to draw buff korra and her big ass arms. 

[id: a digital drawing of korra and asami from tlok. neither of their faces are visible. korra is facing the back wall, hugging asami, her face buried in asami’s shoulders. only the top of her hair is visible. she wears her usual dark blue top with white trim. asami is hugging korra back, her arms resting on top of korra’s shoulders. her wavy black hair lies on her back, and her face is mostly obscured by her arms. however, you can see asami’s forehead, her right eyebrow, and the smallest bit of her signature purple eyeshadow. asami wears a loose dark red sweatshirt. end id]

a sweet korrasami for @atla-wlw-week day 7: free day | korrasami 💛💛

-click for higher res-

[atla-wlw-week]

[ID: digital art of Korra and Asami from the Legend of Korra. Korra is giving Asami a piggy-back, glancing back as with a smile. She’s wearing her season 4 outfit, a sleeveless top and arm wraps. Both arms are hooked underneath Asami’s legs, and her right hand comes up to interlock with Asami’s left as it comes down over her left shoulder. Asami is on her back, right hand holding Korra’s bicep and left arm wrapped around Korra’s left shoulder. She’s laughing,  eyes closed as she’s lifted up. Behind them is a blue triangle and yellow background, within the triangle the artist’s signature. End ID]

[timetohope]

[image description: a black and white digital drawing of yue and suki. they are standing in an office, behind a desk with an old-fashioned computer and a lot of paper clutter. suki is wearing a suit jacket over a button up and high waisted jeans with an amused expression on her face. yue is standing with one leg out a window. she is wearing a trench coat over a cropped turtleneck and a long skirt. she has one eyebrow raised and is smirking at suki. suki says detective, are you trying to climb out that window? yue responds I’D say i was succeeding. below, in a thought bubble, suki thinks fuck, i’m in love. end id]

yueki au for day 6 of @atla-wlw-week!! the prompt i chose was sci-fi au. this is specifically a penumbra podcast au which is why it doesn’t look super sci-fi.. anyway the basis is that yue is the pi with a martyrs complex and suki is the thief whose heart is IMMEDIATELY stolen. (also zuko and azula are the children of a murdered reality tv star, sokka is yue’s tech savvy secretary, katara is the intergalactic secret agent). all this to say, basically, that if u haven’t listened to the penumbra yet you SHOULD. it’s a fun (and occasionally heart-wrenching)  plotline, the characters r dynamic and well developed, and it’s literally the gayest thing i have EVER listened to and does an incredible job portraying nb/gnc characters.

Title: save me a seat courtside Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender Pairing(s): Song/Katara Rating: G Warnings: N/A Summary: Zuko, Jin, and Song are playing volleyball for the Refugee Team, newly created in the wake of the Fire Sector’s endless war against the rest of the Galaxy, in the Intergalactic Games. They’ll be up against the best of the best from the four sectors, but somehow the various people popping out of Zuko’s past and claiming to hate him are more worrying. Song can’t get this Katara girl out of her head, but she needs to sort herself out quick, or else she’ll let her team down.Space aliens and sports AU

another @atla-wlw-week submission! this one is for the sci-fi AU, and honestly I had a blast messing around with this one. Might return to the idea later, who knows!
