I finally finished my Teacher Mai/maiko modern AU fic🖤

In the beginning, I just wanted to expand more the topic of Mai as a teacher (to teenagers). Zuko was a big part of this story, too, but still, it was going to be a Mai-centric fic, where she manages combining her personal and professional lives 🖤 Then, the fic itself turned out to be cute and having rom-com vibes. I cannot say I'm not pleased with it 💚

I'm pinning here two moodboards for it, as well. The horizontal one was made by me, I used the pictures from Pinterest 🖤👩🏻‍🏫

The vertical one is a changed version of the first moodboard, made by @literallyalovelychicken @a-chicken-who-likes-to-write and is suitable for a Kindle cover in case you want to save the fic 💚 (Just look at that Jasmine Dragon seal with Iroh, sooo adorable🍃🐉)

Thank you for being there with me during this journey and stay tuned, because I'm still working on my other works.

P.S. As always, I would be grateful for your feedback 🖤

Currently obsessed with the idea of Mai watching Zuko play with Izumi over the span of hours but noticing that there's something wrong with him that he's trying to hide. She chooses not to push it. Then, as they're getting ready for bed he finally bursts into tears and, huddled in the protective warm strength of her arms, cries, "How could he fucking hurt me like that? I was a child! I was his child! Thinking of hurting Izumi even accidentally makes me sick, and he burned off half my face--" And all Mai can do is sit there and hold him, let him cry it out. She can't take this hurt from him, but she can do this.

my tumblr feed and maiko tag are sort of dead rn, everyone went to twt and other platforms. but it's supposed to be a blog and i love hanging out here with you so let's talk (you can drop things in my inbox or in comments).

my latest news: i finished watching pursuit of jade and i'm lowkey devastated now. i'm saving all the edits with them on my phone <33 loved so many characters and actors are amazing! <3

zhang linghe has such a rizz, i'm planning to watch other series with him where he's a red flag villain lol. i just need more free time.

i'm still obsessed with maiko!! my posts on tiktok get likes and comments, and i'm really surprised because maiko is considered a small fandom. meme posts get more attention than headcanons, obviously. and the algorithms there are just insane, it's frustrating!! there are also haters there. i got so comfortable in my maiko space, i forgot how it's like to interact with maiko haters and self-inserts lol.

and last but not least, i'm writing a new chapter to my fic "observations". i get inspired a lot by adult zuko design, he's sooo handsome and mai is down bad for him hehe.

i wish i had more comments and interaction on ao3 but it is what it is. i'm really happy when i see new comments <3

My May entry for @yearoftheotpevent!

“Back away, Prince Zuko,” Uncle warned. “Those voices are not to be trifled with.”

What’s the harm? Zuko wondered, relaxing further as the maidens’ sweet voices drifted over him. This is the most calm I’ve felt in ages.

Most sailors know the dangers of sirens.

Zuko, however, hasn’t been at sea long. So when a pair of sirens enchants him...he’s none the wiser.

(He’s lucky that for one of them, the enchantment is mutual.)

She is shown in profile from the shoulders up. Her head is bowed and her eyes are closed. A Fire Sage places the headpiece in her hair - only his hands are visible. In the distance, Zuko watches Mai with an adoring expression, which is drawn in an exaggerated style. Pink hearts float above his head. /.End ID]

I have finally edited and perfected my very old, very angsty, very dear to my heart Victorian Era maiko AU 🌺

It was the first fanfic that I had written in English, and I will forever be fond of it. It contains a lot of yearning, forbidden feelings and sacrifices.

I do hope you will enjoy reading it. And if you had already read it a few years ago, you can always refresh your memory.

[myriads11]

So, I created a moodboard for this fic because I love it dearly and it has loverboy Zuko🌺
