Two cake theory also means your small underrated fic can be someone’s comfort fic

[flameohotwife]

Do you or anyone else have a copy of picking up the pieces by sr240 unfortunately it's no longer available

Oh man, I wish. That is one of my favorite kataang stories of all times and one of very few stories I’ve ever read that treated miscarriage (and what I strongly suspect was post-partum depression) with the kind of respect and care and gentleness the subject requires. The smutty last few chapters certainly helped, but also just reading them coming back together as a couple from the emotional distance that had separated them, and the way they built back their trust and fell back into desire once Katara had pulled herself out of that hole was just beautiful. It was real, and raw, and painful, and sweet, just like real life. Just like it is when we have to go through hard things. This is such a loss 😭 I hope someone has it saved somewhere.

[flameohotwife]

i read growing pains from your kataang explorations series today and i just have to say: WOW! i’ve never felt so much encompassing love in a smut fic before. it was so tender and lovely that i actually felt myself getting emotional!!! you did such an amazing job writing that fic!!!

Anon, I cannot tell you how warm and fuzzy this makes me feel. That fic (and entire series) holds a special place in my heart and it’s been so long since I wrote it that there’s not a lot of engagement on it anymore (natural way of things), so imagine my surprise when I saw this in my inbox! I realize you sent this months ago, and I apologize—I have not been all that engaged in fandom recently, but I still really, really appreciate you reaching out to say that. I also really, really hope that one day I can find the motivation and time to finish that series. I had so much more planned for them.

(I want to add that, while love is certainly not a necessity for smut fic, it would be out of character IMO to read any kataang smut that wasn’t infused with that level of love and care and tenderness. I hope you have since found other similarly—or more—satisfactory smut fics to quench you.)

Thank you so much again for the lovely ask!

[flameohotwife]

would you ever write labyrinth fic 👀 (I don't even watch/read that type of thing but I am always one to indulge in another's interests 👀👀)

Hey friend!! Sorry I’m so late to answer this ask. I think probably not, for a couple reasons. One is that, while I LOVE the movie, I’ve only seen it a handful of times, so I don’t think I have the depth of knowledge I’d need to write fic. The other is… I haven’t written ANY fic in months. Or anything at all, actually. I’ve been reading tons of books (just finished my 74th book of the year), but not a ton of fic, and haven’t had the creative/mental energy to *write* in ages.

Thanks so much for sending the ask, though! I’m sorry I thought I’d had time to answer it sooner and then just never did 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hope you are well!

[flameohotwife]

Can you imagine kataang breaking up but staying friends with benefits after a while before getting together again

Hey anon! Actually… I kind of can but only under very specific circumstances. Like, one of them (probably Aang) thinks they should break up because he can’t possibly give her everything she needs with his position and all the time he needs to take away from her to fulfill his duty as Avatar. Maybe they fall to those outside influences that say they’re “too young” to have found true love already, or even know what that means (nevermind they risked their lives in a literal war—love is too complicated for them to understand). They still love each other, but Aang thinks she definitely deserves someone “better” (stupid, silly boy doesn’t realize that to her, he’s the best there is) who can actually be there for her all the time. Maybe Katara thinks Aang deserves someone who will convert to his Air Nomad beliefs, like one of the Air Acolytes or something. So they call it quits.

We all know kataang are best friends first, so they keep up correspondence and try to meet up whenever they can, even though it hurts. And every time they see each other after the break up—at every conference or gala or celebration—they fall under that same spell that pulled them together in the first place. They try to resist at first, maybe even try to move on, but nobody else ignites that spark. They can’t even get beyond a first date and an awkward kiss or two with someone else, because even though they’ve broken up, it feels wrong. Nobody else is *them* you know?

Eventually, they stop trying to pretend there isn’t something special between them. Or, at least, they stop trying to fight the physical pull every time they’re in the same room. They keep dancing together, and let themselves get swept up in the moment before they have to be apart again. If neither of them is getting any, anyway, what’s the harm, right? They can stop as soon as the other person finds “the one” (or even just “the right now”) and move on with their lives.

Except they never find anyone else that gives them the same butterflies. That they know in their heart of hearts they can rely on. That they trust as much as they trust each other. And after some time—months, years, who knows—they give up trying and accept that they were always meant to be anyway. Ooooooor maybe Katara gets pregnant with Bumi (oops!) and they decide to just be a real family already.

Thanks for the ask, anon! I was sitting and waiting for my car to be done getting new tires and an oil change, and this was a fun little thing to think about while I waited 😌

I want to clear up a mistake people make with Azula and Ursa.

Ursa didn’t play favorites.

Ursa didn’t think Azula was a monster.

Ursa simply, unequivocally, just didn’t enable Azula’s worst traits like Ozai did.

Ozai’s favorite child was Azula, but Ursa still loved her more.

Because enabling isn’t love.

What did Ozai’s enabling do? It made Azula into the type of person to never have any loyal friends. It made the type of person that Mai and Tai Lee would betray at the risk of their own lives.

Ursa pushed Azula to be with her friends. To be with Zuko. Ozai pushed Ursa away, and both kids suffered for it. Azula became a sadist, enjoying seeing her brother get burned—while Zuko was pushed away because he cared for his people.

Azula thought her mom hated her because her mom was the only one who cared enough to tell her no.

[littlerosette]

hello! can you recommend your fav kataang fics (preferably not angst since i still need to heal from your fic😭)

yeah sure! i'll try to recommend ones that are happier!

stranger by sycamore17: i've recommended this before and i'll recommend it forever. god tier fic.

apartment 3e by sycamore17: a new girl-esque atla fic with sukka, kataang, and maiko. i looove this fic. it's so fun, and it feels very much like watching a sit-com.

unspoken, undeniable by @flameohotwife: a fake dating au where katara and aang start publicly "dating" because the earth king is on his case about the future of the air nomads. so much fun and the mutual pining is to die for.

old halls, new life by @flameohotwife: parents!kataang i love you. a story that features aang sharing his air nomad culture with each of the cloudbabies over the years.

the plan by the_clockwork_monk: a peek into katara's brain while zuko and sokka are gone during "the boiling rock" episodes. i love fics that tackle katara's denial of her feelings for aang while also having her hardcore pine at the same time. it always makes me laugh.

seeing stars: the atla dating gameshow by @coyotelemon: pure fluff, pure romcom. every moment i was reading this i was squealing wildly into my pillow.

the teenager in the iceberg by @quillthrillswriting: a wip about an au where aang emerges as a teenager from the iceberg. features reverse crush kataang which i looove. such a fun story so far i can't wait to read the rest of it!!!

today's sketch

[crimeronan]

people who let me wake up to this get a special place in heaven. firefly_fox how does it feel to hold my life in ur hands....

[crimeronan]

my favorite thing about this post is that a handful of people have gone "oh wait! this is tangible proof that i don't need to be embarrassed about leaving a lot of comments!! i'll stop being so ashamed!" YES!! ao3 authors basically universally will die for people who comment spam. we love to see it and we do not find you weird or annoying At All.

think about it this way: we ourselves are weird enough to have spent several hours, days, or Months writing down this story. we are weird enough about the content to do that! why on Earth would we be mean and judgmental toward people who care enough to get excited about reading it?? we shared it Specifically For You To Get Excited About!

[atlinmerrick]

WE WILL WRITE FOR YOU WHEN YOU DO THIS, TOO.

[akiizayoi4869]

Was thinking about Bato Of The Water Tribe, specifically the part where they're having dinner with him. Aang looks upset because he's left out of the conversation and nobody is trying to include him, and Sokka and Katara don't realize this because they're happy to see someone from their tribe, someone who they haven't seen in years. Add in the fact that they may have had the opportunity to see their father after so long, and you can see why they were so excited. Aside from the fact that Aang is upset because he's being ignored, I thought of another reason why he doesn't look particularly happy in that scene: Sokka and Katara are reunited with someone from their tribe, reminiscing about the fun times they had, listening to Bato's stories about they're father, etc. All things that Aang can never have again because his people are gone. He's the last airbender left in the world. Sure, he can talk to Katara and Sokka about his past, but it's not the same as actually talking to another airbender with the same experiences as him.

Let’s play Writer’s Would You Ever

Send me an ask that says “Would you ever write…” and continue the sentence.

I’ll respond with yes or no and give an explanation as to why if I want to.

[thethiefandtheairbender]

my most underrated Kataang take is, I think, the inclusion of Katara's epiphany in The Fortune Teller at all. We've talked ourselves hoarse about how it's the clear turning point in how she consciously thinks of Aang (I will always mandate that she was just unknowingly down bad since the pilot because Look at her behaviour dear god) and how it's important that she has this epiphany even after knowing Aunt Wu's predictions 'aren't real' or necessarily set in stone.

What I want to talk about is why I think it's important that THIS is the moment she sees Aang in a new light amid his previous attempts to have her think of him 'differently' than she did at the beginning of the episode.

When Aang is being sweet to her (making her a woven accidental-betrothal necklace that she happily accepts), Katara is appreciative and responsive, but still says "he's just a good friend, a sweet little guy, just like Momo".

When Aang tries to flirt with her under Sokka's aloof guise, it falls flat. When he tries to get her attention in general (and when having parallels with Meng), it likewise doesn't work.

Finally, he tries the flower but it falls into the lava (symoblism, anyone?) and they have bigger things to deal with, like making sure the town isn't completely wiped out by the volcano. It's also worth noting that after Aang's conversation with Meng:

He never actively tries pursuing or wooing Katara in the same way. He's still kind towards and supportive toward her, of course. He, at some point (probably after the 2nd cheek or third cheek kiss) eventually starts to think (understandably) that Katara has feelings for him. But as of The Fortune Teller, he's stopped trying to have her see him in a new light or do a big romantic gesture.

And that's exactly when she does, consciously, fall for him.

Not when he's trying to woo her in failed, false personas, not when he's being his sweet romantic self, but when he's being the most himself all episode: Aang, "the bravest person [she] knows, who's done nothing but help people and save lives" since she met him (1x12).

He's not paying attention, he's not trying to impress her. He's just being a good, determined Avatar. A good, helpful person. A powerful bender, completely in control of himself and his element. Being himself.

Her Aang.
