Pianjeong
army dreamers by @narrativelysignificantturtleduck for @pianjeong. rated T, 7.7k
When they're apart, Jeong Jeong and Piandao write letters to each other.
razor blade smile by @pianjeong for @narrativelysignificantturtleduck. rated T, 4.3k
It’s weird seeing Jeong Jeong in his kitchen, the slight breeze through the window ruffling his hair, tapping his fingertips against the Formica countertops as counterpoint to Morrissey humming about death in the background. It feels like an illusion, insubstantial enough that if he touches it it’ll blow away in the wind. A strange fear gripped me, sings Morrissey, and I just couldn’t ask. or: a pianjeong 80s au. the smiths know more about them than they do about themselves.
Bakoda
between the sky and us by me for @bakodabitches. rated T, 4.3k
Even the brief moment in the open air without a coat nipped and stayed in Hakoda’s chest, and he curled into Kya’s side, rubbing his feet together to get some friction heat. “You’d think Bato would get colder than you, seeing how skinny he is,” she said with a laugh. “Ha ha,” Bato said. Hakoda smiled against her chest, tucking his chin and nose under the blanket. // School dances aren't their thing.
crisscrossing through by @bakodabitches for @inlovebakoda. rated G, 3.3k
Hakoda goes to a dinner party and gets a little more than he bargained for when he meets the hosts handsome brother, Bato.
Katara
She Burns by @eastaustraliancurrent for @billycaplans. rated T, 5.6k
"There’s a woman whose life is buried in ice and snow." Sokka and Katara would always scoff at the opening line. "She’s not special," they’d say, and Kya would put a gently shushing finger to her lips. "There’s a woman whose life is buried in ice and snow," she’d repeat, "and she burns. "
Suki
when the moon peach blossoms bloom by @gingersnapped for @crashing-meteors rated G, 6.6k
Suki and her Warriors, growing up in the last years of the war.
I'll be home when tomorrow morning comes by @ethemreal for @gingersnapped rated G
A fan comic about Suki, and the fear of going home.
Yue
a helping (spirit) hand by @billycaplans for @gayghostfacer rated T, 6.4k
“So, Sokka,” Aang turned to him, flushed from the warmth of the building and hot food. “My buddy, my pal, my lifelong friend!” Sokka raised an eyebrow at him and took a good-sized drink from his cup. “What do you want?” “How do you know I want anything?” Aang’s voice creeped higher along with his shoulders. He could barely keep it together before caving and letting out a sigh. “Fine, you’re right. The actual reason for my trip is to see you.” (Sokka and Aang take a trip to the Spirit World. It doesn't go as planned.)
visions are seldom all they seem by @crashing-meteors for @ethemreal. rated T, 5k
Yue lives through the siege of the North Pole, but it's hardly worth what she's lost. Grieving and drowning in her own guilt, Yue only finds comfort in her dreams, and even they are violent and unsatisfying. It's a strange thing, loving someone you barely knew, but there it is.
LOK
breathing even by me for @eastaustraliancurrent. rated G, 1.4k
Lin was eight years old the first time her tutors gave her a bad mark. She didn’t let it show when he handed it to her, with a note to confirm she informed her mother of her mediocre score, but she wanted to cry as he chided her.
as in a mirror, dimly by @inlovebakoda for @eastaustraliancurrent. rated G, 4.6k
The thing was, Wu was never supposed to be on the throne. or, a small peek into how Prince Wu stumbled his way into being King Wu.
OCs
centering by me for @shortkingzuko. rated T, 2.6k
Jet’s first mistake, after the new teacher came, was talking about him to Smellerbee and Longshot. There wasn’t anyone else for him to talk about him to, but still. Smellerbee had looked at Longshot, and Longshot looked back at Smellerbee after Jet explained how his new teacher had noticed him having a hard time with the wheel, given his healing hip, and said he would think of suggestions for him. // Jet enrolls in a pottery class
a citrus constellation by @gayghostfacer for @shortkingzuko. rated T, 2k
Jet finds soft moments during a year at the farmer's market.
where shallows meet the shore to rest by @shortkingzuko for me. rated G, 4.2k
