I’m going to try and be more active on this account
Though for the most part, I’m going to allow myself to be more open and share incomplete wips and summaries of any fandom that I want, hopefully that would make me less stressed compared to me constantly trying to write full fanfics whenever I come up with a new idea.
I don’t mind taking requests either if anyone wants, but for the most part I’ll probably just share things I want.
(Maizula Week 2026) Day 4: Role Reversal
(The girls are about 18, just so the 4-year time gap between their last interactions makes sense)
“So… am I your only recruit for this mission, or are you going to get Azula too?” The question cautiously came from Ty Lee, one of the 2 girls Mai would say she was closer to than anyone else once upon a time.
But it had been a few years, and all 3 of them had drifted over time. A part of that was just from growing up; they were no longer in school and they had their own lives… but when it came to Azula and Mai specifically…
Mai let out a sigh before shaking her head. “I plan on getting her too. It would be foolish of me to ignore her talents over a bit of awkwardness.”
At that, Ty Lee stopped and stared at her friend for a moment before giving a nervous smile. “Are you sure Azula sees it that way?”
Mai's brows furrowed as she looked back at her friend. There was a small stutter in her chest that she had ignored until Ty Lee spoke out her own tiny fear.
Mai pursed her lips and continued walking. “This job is too good for anyone to pass up. Especially Azula and how she always wants to prove herself. She'll agree with me; it was a small argument we had, but it's time to move on.”
Ty Lee bit her lip but gave an unsure nod, “If you say so, Mai.”
—-----
Being the eldest and heir of the Fire Nation put a lot of pressure on Mai's shoulders that she never wanted to feel. Honestly, she rarely cared about the responsibilities, because she didn’t ask for them. But what did it matter what she wanted? Her father was the Fire Lord, and to continue this war unopposed, he needed to capture the Avatar. And since none of the other soldiers seemed capable, why not send his very competent daughter? Besides, even if something happened to her, he still had a young son to be heir.
The scowl she wore didn't leave her face as she was guided through the barracks of a well-known military base. The smell was unappealing, and the sight of every soldier bowing as she passed was really annoying her. Yes, she deserved respect as their princess, but she didn’t want to be here, or be around any soldiers that she didn’t have to be around.
That's why she was only going to focus on Ty Lee and Azula. Though their abilities were a huge boon for this mission, Mai mainly wanted to be with the only people she ever saw as her equals. Who treated her the way she wanted to be treated. Who didn’t look at her for her position, but for who she is.
At least she hoped that was still the case as she was finally led outside of a room.
“And you're sure she's alone in there?”
“First Lieutenant Azula is extremely close to becoming a Captain. Her skill and renown have more than afforded her her own space.”
Mai hummed before waving a hand to dismiss the man. He bowed lowly and left easily.
The Fire Princess stood in front of the door for a few moments, taking in what she had just heard. Not only was Azula already a First Lieutenant, but she was on her way to becoming a Captain. That was almost unheard of for their age. Then again, Azula was just ridiculously skilled, and it's probably her age and lack of experience holding her back from being any higher already.
Honestly, the longer she stood at the door, the more she doubted her earlier statement of their last talk being easy to get over. Otherwise, why hasn't she even knocked yet? Why was she almost frozen in place, only a few feet away from one of the girls she thought she knew better than anyone else only a few years ago?
It was probably only about 2 minutes of her standing there before the door suddenly opened, and Mai was faced with an extremely unimpressed childhood friend. The expression only lasted a moment before she smoothed it over and stepped aside to let Mai in.
“Fire Princess Mai, welcome. If I had known you wanted to see me, I would've met you in one of our main offices.” She gave a slight bow, and Mai's eyes narrowed as she accepted the invitation into the room.
Azula was always a good liar, so she wasn't sure if she was being honest or not, but Mai hoped she was. It was the chance Azula might’ve rejected meeting with her that led to her request to be guided straight to her room. Despite how informal it was, she was still their Princess, and they went along with it anyway.
“It’s been a while, Azula. I hear you're close to becoming a Captain. Even with my disinterest in all the militant hierarchy, I know that's impressive.”
She gave the other girl a playful smirk, but Azula's expression didn’t change as she dipped her head lightly in acknowledgement of the compliment. “Thank you for the kind words, your highness.”
Mai's scowl returned almost immediately as she rolled her eyes, “Seriously, Azula, stop that. You know how much I hate it.”
Azula took in a deep breath before letting out a put-upon sigh, “I'm showing you the respect you deserve. I apologize, Princess.” As she said the word, Mai caught the way her face twitched into a slight frown, but it didn't last as she continued, “I'm not sure how else you would want me to respond.”
Mai glared at her before rolling her eyes, “Are you really going to be like this? We haven't seen each other in 4 years. I wasn't expecting you to be jumping for joy like Ty Lee, but this is cold, even for you.”
Azula stayed stock still and didn't respond at all. Her eyes stayed on Mai, and despite how her face gave away nothing, they almost burned through her. Mai looked away first and decided to step back for a moment to gather her thoughts again. She glanced around the mostly bare room before choosing to sit on the bed. Something Azula still didn't react to as she continued to stand quietly.
“Fine, Azula, have it your way. I want to formally request your assistance in my current mission of capturing the Avatar. Does that sound appealing to you?”
Azula couldn't stop her eyebrows from raising in shock at the job, and she stared at Mai for several seconds before her face went blank again. She bowed deeply, missing (but most likely aware of) the frown Mai was giving her.
“It would be my honor, your highness.”
“Stop acting like that. Seriously, I will not be able to tolerate you being all stuffy for however long this takes.”
Azula was quiet for a moment, almost as if deciding to continue being petty, before she let out a scoff. “You won’t be able to tolerate me acting like the soldier I am? Because in case you've forgotten, that's all I am to you.”
Mai's scowl returned, but this time with a fraction of disbelief, “I never said that.”
“I know, but it was something I decided after you rejected me.”
“You decided? What about me? Azula, you're supposed to be my friend. You and Ty Lee are the only people I can call my friends, and you expect me to just pretend that isn't the case with you?” The frustration was palpable in her tone, and Azula didn't lose her composure at all. This was a decision she had made 4 years ago, and it was one she was sticking to.
“I'm still in love with you.” The words came out plainly, and without emotion behind them, but they still made the Fire Princess flinch with widened eyes. Mai wasn't even sure how to respond to such a statement, let alone one said in such a blase tone.
“Azula, stop that, I'm trying to be serious here.”
“No. You're the one who isn't taking me seriously.” She was frowning this time and walked towards the door. “You broke my heart once already, Mai. I'll help you with your mission; I would be a fool not to. But I refuse to have my feelings played with by a princess who picks my brother over me.” She opened the door and gestured for the other to go.
“If that's all, I would like to respectfully ask you to leave.” Her eyes stayed locked onto the floor, her head tilted down in another small bow and also just to avoid seeing anything on Mai's face.
The princess, on the other hand, stared at her (ex-?) friend feeling a heartache she didn’t even feel when she had first rejected Azula. She had thought… it wasn't a big deal; she assumed things might’ve been a bit awkward for a while, but they would overcome it. It wasn’t like she was actually pursuing Zuko either, despite what she had said at the time.
“I don't really think we should. You're a good friend, but you know, your brother can be… nicer? Besides, I think our families would want me to be with him too, with how your dad keeps trying to get us to spend time together.”
“You… like Zuko more than me?”
Mai stared for a moment before she shrugged. “You're my friend, but he's probably the better choice, right? We'd have to get married and have children.”
Azula stared at her for a moment before she nodded. “I understand. I'll be going now.”
At the time, it really didn’t seem that serious. Azula was extremely expressive. Mai had assumed that if the girl was upset, she would've known immediately. But all Azula did was calmly leave. And it wasn't until 4 years later that Mai realized she took their friendship with her.
Mai threw her hands over her eyes and pressed down, hoping the pressure would stop any possible feelings bubbling up, and it worked, but barely. She dropped her hands with a sigh and slowly walked by Azula, who only bowed a bit lower as she passed, but still refused to look at her.
“Azula-”
“Have a nice evening, Princess.” And with that, she closed the door, leaving Mai alone in the hallway. Mai stared for several moments before she turned around and headed back the way she came.
Despite the sudden hole in her chest that she didn’t want to acknowledge, it would be fine. Azula agreed to the mission, meaning Azula agreed to be around her for however long it would take them to capture the Avatar. There would be ample time for her to try and fix their friendship.
And if she was honest about still being in love with her? Well, these feelings in her chest- the ache, the guilt, all of it; It made her wonder if there was possibly room for her to try and acknowledge Azula's feelings differently than she had before. She wasn’t the same young girl who tried to follow what was expected of her and to do what she was told. Despite how aloof and disinterested she pretended to be at the time, she had still followed after her family’s approval in almost everything she did. Now though, she truly made her own decisions (even when her parents didn’t approve), and she was willing to do whatever it took to make up for how she ignored Azula before. Mai let out a huff to herself just as she finally reached the entrance; the same soldier from before was waiting there and bowed before guiding her off the base entirely.
Honestly, after everything, Mai felt like shit, and she wasn't looking forward to returning to Ty Lee and telling the younger girl she was right.
@maizulaweek
(Maizula Week 2026) Days 2 & 3: Secret and Wounds
“You need to take better care of yourself, Azula.” The frown on Mai's face stood out to the Princess, but she didn’t respond. Instead, she continued to stare off at the door of her bedroom; it wasn't like she asked Mai to be here. In fact, she would much rather the noble's daughter wasn't there at all.
Mai let out a huff, “But of course, you aren't even listening to me anymore.”
At that, Azula's sharp gaze fell back onto the other girl in what could be considered a glare by many, but Mai knew it was the look she used when assessing someone. Which was just great. Who didn’t want to feel analyzed when they were trying to help their friend heal wounds she shouldn't have.
The silent stare-off lasted longer than expected before Azula looked away again. “I'm always listening to you.”
She scoffed, “If you were, then maybe you wouldn't push yourself so hard. What are you going to do if you get nerve damage, or internal bleeding? That won't be something you can hide and attempt to heal on your own.”
“I'm not incompetent or an idiot. I know my limits.” The princess was entirely too dismissive of her point, and Mai was genuinely getting fed up.
She should’ve known that any attempt to reason with the royal was pointless from the start. Azula made it extremely clear she didn’t want anyone to know about her secret sparring outside of the palace, and even after Mai found out, she still wasn't open to talking about it.
Part of Mai wondered if maybe Ty Lee would've had different results. Their mutual friend always seemed to have a way of getting the Fire Princess's attention and keeping it, which Mai was frankly jealous of. Not that Mai didn't also have her attention, but it's not like she was as persuasive as the acrobatic friend could be.
Though at times like this she didn’t want to be persuasive, she just wanted Azula to be less stubborn.
She dropped her hands to her sides and just stared at the discolored patches of skin she was previously applying a salve to.
This time the silence dragged on for over a minute before Azula glanced at her again, and she closed her eyes slowly as she took in what was Mai's attempt at holding back her irritation.
For a girl normally so expressionless, Azula could also tell at a glance when she was close to snapping.
“Did you know your limits before or after you broke a rib?” To emphasize her point, she directly stabbed at a purplish blue area on the princess and got a hiss of pain in return.
“It was a spar. Injuries are to be expected. And I do believe he left in a much worse condition, seeing as he could barely stand, and I was able to travel all the way back here.”
“And if you did get too injured, how would you have gotten back? It's not like anyone else knows that you were in a fighting ring. Would you have just stayed there and let the palace go on a wild search to find the missing princess? And what would you say when they found you in such an unsuitable place? You just wanted to spar.”
The Princess's face twitched as she huffed, “I'm not arguing with you.”
This time Mai purposely moved back and directly into Azula's line of sight, almost daring her to avoid eye contact any longer.
That eye contact lasted several moments while Mai stayed tense as she waited for Azula to say anything else, but as minutes went by with nothing, her shoulders dropped, and she turned towards the door.
“I guess it's my own fault for assuming I could help you with anything. Of course, you have everything under control; you don't need me lecturing you.” Her tone was distinctly self-deprecating, and despite her back facing the princess, she could almost feel her negative reaction to it.
“Mai…” It was a familiar whisper, one that she heard whenever the princess wanted her to feel special. The conspiratorial tone that she used to enjoy hearing breathed lightly into her shoulder when no one was around. When Azula cared less about being the Fire Princess, and more about just being with her.
“Don’t go. I'm-”
Mai stayed facing the door. Waiting on an apology she knew wasn't coming. It always seemed like the one thing she was incapable of doing.
“This is just the price I need to pay to be stronger. There's no one I can easily challenge that could or would put up a fight against me. I understand that it worries you, but I need this.” She was almost pleading, as if begging Mai to understand her point.
She could hear the princess stand up behind her. Maybe if she sounded slower or like it hurt, maybe that would give Mai a feeling of vindication, but clearly after months of acting unbothered by her injuries, she truly didn't make a sound of pain.
“But Mai, I also need you.” She was directly behind her. So close the older girl could feel the small radiation of heat coming from the Princess. Azula always ran hot. “You know when you first found out, and I reacted… badly?”
Badly was one word for it. Azula was almost biting in how defensive she was and how sternly she told Mai to pretend she saw nothing.
“It was because I knew I would get hurt. The same way I knew you wouldn't leave me alone about it. Not-” She let out a sudden noise as she corrected, “Not in a bad way. I just knew you would be worried. It was like I could see all of these future moments. And I knew, I knew I wouldn't know how to deal with that concern. So I would rather not have it at all.”
There was a sudden pressure against the base of her neck, and Mai didn't move. She knew it was Azula leaning her head there, and she let out a shaky breath as she continued listening.
“I was right. I'm terrible at handling this, but I still- but you've still been here. And that matters to me. You always matter to me. Even when you think I'm ignoring you, I'm not. I could never do such a thing. Maybe to anyone else, but not you.”
Mai finally took that moment to turn around, and Azula scoffed before lightly covering her face. “You couldn't let me attempt to keep my dignity?”
Mai couldn't help but roll her eyes. “You lost your right to such a thing when you chose to basically confess instead of apologizing.”
“I have no idea what you're-”
“Stop talking. And sit back down so I can finish putting this stuff on your bruises. I'd rather not be stuck doing this all day. It smells terrible.”
Azula was still for another moment before her hand lowered from her face, and she slowly sat back down. She proceeded to stare at Mai as she carefully plucked a small amount of salve before focusing on one of the few bruises left uncovered.
She watched Mai work until she finished, then she set the jar down and did an overall scan to make sure she had them all.
“Thank you.” It was almost a whisper, but it was clear and even, completely unlike the previous times when she left the room in tense silence.
Mai let out a breath she wasn't aware she was holding and nodded before heading for the door. “Next time this happens, just tell me. I won't fuss anymore; I just want to be here.”
Finally, Mai left, leaving the Princess to hopefully rest before she ultimately pushed herself again.
@maizulaweek
I watched Descendants Wicked Wonderland and had a sudden (angsty) idea.
I love thinking about genuine repercussions and possible outcomes when watching stuff like this, especially when there's a chance for angsty fics to deep dive into characters mentally dealing with such things, especially when the movie doesnt.
I think the Red had the potential to go through a lot of traumatizing stuff, just from changing the timeline and now dealing with a whole new life and relationships that she isn't familiar with at all. But right now I really wanna focus on the missed opportunity to hammer those points in with Pink existing over all.
But
I was thinking about what could be even more traumatic and confusing trying to navigate a new sister you need to lie to on the regular? What if Red DID grow up with her own version of Pink. A little sister who lived through the same stuff she did. Who was just as scared of their mom. Who made sure she wasn't alone and they always tried to protect each other in their own way. But now, that sister is gone and replaced with this new version of her.
One who couldn't be more different than the sister she knew and loved. Red isn't MAD that this version of her sister grew up loved and cared for, but a huge piece of her heart is just missing now, and she's unsure if this... perky, happy-go-lucky, nice version of her can fill that gap.
A replacement sister isn't something you can fumble around the same way you can a sudden sister. Because not only does she have to still lie and figure out this new relationship with the new Pink, but there's also now way she wouldn’t end up grieving over the Pink she lost. Maybe even wondering if this was worth it? Could Chloe even try to help her through that?
She gained a good mom, but lost her sister. No one would understand her.
(Oh wouldn't it be extra cruel if it's a fact brought up by Max and Evil Chloe later on during their stand off scene?)
(Maizula Week 2026) Day 1: Childhood
“What should we play, Azula?” Ty Lee was the one who asked the question, despite all 4 of them having already been pondering for the past several minutes, which had felt much too long to the group of children. It was just another day of them playing in the royal courtyard after school; the 2 guests were allowed to stay until their parents eventually picked them up.
The Fire Princess was quiet for only another moment before she stood up tall to announce their next game, “We'll play house. I already decided everyone's roles!”
At her declaration, the two other girls looked up at her curiously, while her older brother folded his arms, much more wary of her suggestion.
“Playing house is for girls though. We should do something else.”
Azula's gold eyes dragged over him slowly, before she shrugged, “If you don’t wanna play Zuzu, you can leave. But we,” she easily gestured her arm at her 2 friends, “are still gonna play house.”
This time Zuko huffed and pouted, but didn't bother to say anything else as he sat on a nearby rock and waited to be assigned his role.
“So! Mai, you get to be the mom; I'm the dad, of course. Then Ty Lee is the big sister, and Zuzu is the baby.”
As soon as Azula presented herself as the dad, Zuko's eyes widened in shock, but as soon as she assigned him to be the baby, he stood up and pointed at her.
“That's not fair! Why would I be the baby? I'm the oldest one here!”
Azula huffed this time. Zuko always did his best to take the fun out of everything. “Well, Zuzu is such a baby name that it fits perfectly.”
“No! I told you to stop calling me that anyway. Besides, I should be the dad!”
At that statement, Azula actually stopped and looked at him perplexed. She walked closer to him, and he took a few steps back to keep their distance, as if nervous about what she would do.
“Zuzu, you can't be the dad. The dad is strong and has to protect everyone. You lost our spar yesterday. Badly.”
Once she brought up his defeat, the Prince's face flushed darkly, and he let out a loud yell of frustration before he turned around and stopped away. “I didn't wanna play your stupid game anyway!”
Azula rolled her eyes as he left, “Boys are so dramatic.”
Mai watched the entire interaction fairly indifferently. To her, she was just going to play the role she was given; she really didn’t care whether Azula or Zuko was the ‘dad’. Though maybe it would be more realistic for it to be him?
“Shouldn't Prince Zuko be the dad because he's a boy?” Ty Lee was the one to ask, and both girls watched as Azula seemed to get a bit annoyed at the question.
“Even if he's a boy, the dad and mom are married. Mai definitely doesn't want to marry someone as dumb as Zuzu, right Mai?”
The girl blinked at the sudden targeted question before she looked away with a shrug. At that, Azula stomped over to stand in front of the other girl with her hands on her hips.
“You're not allowed to like him more than me. Do you understand?” Azula had a sharp way of declaring things that sounded really intimidating, even if she only raised her voice a tiny bit. Mai stayed silent for only a second before she stared back at the princess.
“I don’t want to marry anyone who yells at or tries to scare me.”
Almost as if cowed, Azula backed up quickly and covered her mouth. She was quiet for several moments before lowering her hands with a huff and folding her arms.
“Fine, I won't yell anymore. And I promise, as your husband and the dad, I would raise our kids to be really strong. Way stronger than my brother ever could.”
Mai gave another light shrug, but her eyes were still on the princess, and the tension she held had dropped significantly. “Even if it's a girl?” Her eyes slid over to their other friend (who was quietly waiting for a decision to be made between them) and then back to Azula. “Ty Lee would be our daughter right? You would make her strong?”
Azula puffed up and nodded surely. “Of course! All our kids will be strong under me, especially the girls!” She grinned at the other girl, who gave a very small smile and then held out her hand.
“That's good then. My mother said girls can't be strong and can only get married and have babies. If you promise our girls can be strong, then we can be married.”
The Fire Princess stepped closer to Mai and nodded while taking her hand, clearly trying to hide her own enthusiasm. “Then it's settled. Ty Lee, you're just the daughter now since you don't have a sibling. We need to find a good spot to pretend it's our palace, okay?”
Ty Lee nodded before running off towards one of the gazebos. Mai went to follow, but Azula slightly tugged her back to make her stay an extra moment.
“If we got married, it wouldn't just be our kids that I would help be strong. I would absolutely help you get strong too.”
Mai's brows furrowed as she stared at the other girl. “Do you mean… for the game?”
Azula shrugged this time before letting go of her hand and walking ahead to follow their other friend. “I think Ty Lee found our palace now; we should go make sure our daughter picked the best one.”
The idea of being strong herself was one Mai entertained very rarely. She was interested, and most times whenever she saw Azula succeed in her firebending, she would have thoughts of becoming just as capable as the Fire Princess… but all the lessons with her mother taught her that her being strong would stay a dream.
But maybe… if she stayed with Azula… It wouldn't have to be that way.
@maizulaweek
Imagine another version of Huntr/x showing up in canon Huntr/x's universe (This would be precanon btw). Canon girls honestly take it pretty well, and they even wonder if they can use this to their advantage against demons and such.
It's going great... until New Rumi somehow finds out about Canon Rumi's patterns. New Rumi is NOT half demon, she isn’t a demon at all. And she instinctively turns on Canon Rumi.
Originally they're by themselves, as New Rumi lays into Canon Rumi about how she's just a demon, that she’s an unfeeling monster, that her Mira and Zoey deserve so much better than her. Canon Rumi is desperately trying to explain herself and that she’s not their enemy. They're so close to getting the golden Honmoon, she’s been helping! She’s been there every step of the way!
But New Rumi insists that if they're close to gold it's in spite of Rumi dragging them down, not because of her. If they can get there with a demon complicating things, then they could absolutely do it alone. Which they won't have to do because they're still here.
Canon Rumi is crying as her heart breaks with everything she's being told and tries to say the golden Honmoon will get rid of her patterns and she'll be fixed and human. New Rumi calls her a fool and tells her the golden Honmoon will lock away every demon, including her. Rumi bows her head ane says that's something she can accept if it's the price she has to pay for being a monster. She just wanted to reach that point with her girls.
New Rumi insists they aren’t her anything, and she probably intends to kill Canon Rumi here... until New Zoey and New Mira walk in.
Canon Rumi stays on the floor unmoving, but New Rumi quickly stands between them, intending to be a shield if need be, until she noticed how they were both looking at her. Zoey looks heartbroken, but Mira looks extremely bitter.
"We know her. She’s not trying to hurt anyone. She wants to make the Honmoon gold just as much as any of us." (Mira)
"She’s a demon! It's all a trick! We can't trust anything she says! You know that!" (Rumi)
That statement only makes them look even more upset but then Mira's expression hardens as she steps forward. Zoey reaches for her arm and looks scared.
"And what if I was a demon?"
And that would shock both Rumi's. New Rumi blinks and Canon Rumi looks up at her from her spot on the floor.
"Mira, that's not- Don’t joke like that. It's not funny."
"I'm not laughing. What if I was a demon Rumi? Would you say those things to me too?"
New Rumi lets her weapon go sharply, as if burned, and that seems to make Mira even more upset as she stomps closer, Zoey on her trail.
"Are you both making our Honmoon gold in spite of me? Am I holding you back? Am I unnecessary?! Do you want to kill me?!"
Everyone has tears now, and New Rumi is frozen and horrified.
"You're not-You aren’t a demon, Mira." Is all New Rumi can whisper out, and Mira lets out a strained chuckle.
"My father was though. And aren’t patterns enough? Well, here's your proof." Mira lifts her shirt to show jagged patterns all across her belly, clearly spreading up to her chest and a few wrapping around to her back as well.
New Rumi jolts and jumps back, her sain-geom almost immediately appearing in her hands again, and that was enough for Zoey to throw herself infront of Mira with her own shin-kals out, standing protectively between her two partners.
The sight of Rumi's weapon though is enough for Mira to lose all of her bluster and her anger bleeds out and leaves only heartbreak behind.
Seeing Zoey's position is enough for New Rumi to realize what she did and to let her sword fall to the Honmoon again, but the angry tears in Zoey's eyes, and Mira's inability to look at her anymore are enough for her to know she messed up.
And that would be when Canon Zoey and Mira rush into the room after hearing all the yelling. They don’t see anything at first, but their Rumi is on the ground, clearly distressed. Their own counterparts look devastated but Zoey is protecting Mira. And New Rumi is clearly the most fine, but she also looks brokenhearted. So of course they would demand an explanation of what's going on... maybe as they slowly walk their way over to their own Rumi.
Andddddd that's as far as I thought about for now!
KPDH Again! Descendants x KPDH
Once again, self control just missed me I guess. This is more of a Descendants story tied in with KPDH lore.
The previous Hunters included the current Queen Belle, Fairy Godmother, and the previously deceased Maleficent. Maleficent who had "turned evil" and died, only to be revived and thrown onto the Isle of the lost at the direct request of her past partners. Obviously she had a hatred for everything Auradon related, but especially for her fellow Hunters. And she made sure to tell her daughter of how pathetic they are, with false promises of partnerships, when all they do is betray those in need. Of course she didn’t need them now, and such a weakness would never be repeated.
When Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos are offered a chance in Auradon, Maleficent gave them 2 jobs. Get the wand to release her, and sabotage everything her old partners try to do. Including finding and teaching the next generation of Hunters.
At first the crew assumed they might need to take drastic measures to get close to Prince Ben, but they realized a much easier option. The one who would actually use the wand is still Fairy Godmother. So she's the one they need to get close to and they have an easy in... if Mal and Evie reveal themselves as 2 new Hunters, something they hid even from Maleficent.
The plan was simple. Take advantage of her willingness to train them, and when her guard was down at the coronation, swipe the wand.
None of them were expecting there to be another young Hunter already, implying she was to be their final "partner."
Even worse. It was Audrey.
(Sadly no Audrey weapon gif since she wasn’t in the second movie, and the staff doesn't fit the vibe)
Another fic Idea! Togachako once again!
Similar to time travel fix-it fics, Ochako ends up dying and going back in time to her childhood. She dies with 1 big regret left in her heart, and basically was given a second chance to try and change that.
Obviously, that regret was letting Himiko Toga die, unable to help the girl she desperately wanted to save more than anyone else.
The thing that makes it different from other time travel fix-it fics is the fact that Ochako only has her memories directly tied to Himiko. Because she's the focal point of her regret, all of her memories are just the moments of her life with or about Himiko. She remembers it all. How she looked, her feelings, her quirk, her past, even her smile. Everything she learned about Himiko she knows... except her name...
But she doesn't have memories of her own life, or previous development. So child Ochako still needs to grow up and even with these memories of this girl she's desperate to save, she has no clue how to find her, how to get back to that point, what she did in her first life to meet her? Basically Ochako has zero context of her previous life and essentially has to grow up with memories of a girl she knows so much about and yet she still wasn't able to save.
(And Toga did not return to the past. Her life would essentially be the same. And I'm picturing her being so confused on Ochako just knowing so much about her, and caring so desperately.)
(I'm also picturing if Ochako does get the chance to mitigate some of Toga's trauma, she would still panic and worry about things, leaving Toga confused because those things never happened to her.)
New fic idea! (Because I have zero self control!)
This one is mainly Togachako/Himiko Toga x Ochako Uraraka.
Basically after running away from home, Himiko Toga gets isekai'd into a newly famous game that she frequently heard about but knew her parents would never get for her. In the game the player takes the place of the default student 'Ochako Uraraka' and live as her, including having her given backstory and her quirk, but her appearance is adjustable.
For some reason though, Himiko Uraraka exists alongside Ochako Uraraka and they're both students in class 1A. It's actually strange how much Himiko has in common with Ochako to the point where others are even uncomfortable. It doesn't help that Himiko has such an... eccentric personality that others have a hard time getting to know her, including the token love interests!
But the one person who desperately wants to get to know her is surprisingly Ochako Uraraka herself. The girl who has so much in common with her and yet is so drastically different. So she spends time getting to know her, and they slowly start to realize that Himiko isn't just like Ochako, and her life was completely different as well.
The more Ochako pushes to get to know her, the more Himiko actually remembers her own life and is able to share with the other girl, and slowly Himiko gets to become her own person.
The only problem with that though, is the more Himiko remembers about her life, the more it bleeds into her new reality. As soon as she remembers her parents, they suddenly exist and that will affect who she has to go home to. Until she remembers she ran away, then she has to live on the streets. Until she suddenly remembers why she ran away....
Basically Himiko gets to live a fake life as Ochako, but the girl herself wants to get to know the real Himiko, so in doing so she drags Himiko's old life into their world and everyone has to deal with the consequences.
Another KPDH Crossover! This time Miraculous Ladybug!
Unlike my usual ML crossovers, this one would have to change a lot of the lore and characters to work.
(Yes, Jinu is Adrien, but not in the way you'd think!)
Instead of just Ladybug and Chat Noir trying to work together to get the moth and peacock from Hawkmoth; Ladybug!Rumi, Fox!Mira, and Bee!Zoey work together to try and get the peacock back from GwiMa who uses his powers to make "demon sentimonsters" to try and get the ladybug and black cat miraculous'.
But the black cat miraculous went missing ages ago, until Cat!Jinu shows up to help the hero team, but they don't really trust him, but they still have to work with him.
Basically, all the Saja Boys are sentimonsters from different families, but each of them was only born because GwiMa let their parents use the peacock to have them. Jinu is GwiMa's son and gave him the black cat miraculous to gain the heroes' trust and to betray them in the future. The other Saja Boys' parents work for GwiMa, but they aren't specifically tied to him yet.
Anyways!
The biggest problem I'm having is how to flesh out the bigger cast outside of Huntr/x, the Saja Boys, GwiMa, Celine, and Bobby.
Should I use a mix of background characters and original characters, or should I try to mix the miraculous ladybug world/characters in?
I have no clue how I would mix the two canons, or what characters I would be using yet, so that one would probably be more tricky but let me know.
Background Characters/Oc's vs Mixed Canon
Background Characters/Oc's
Mixed ML Characters
Honestly though, if it does come down to mixing ML characters, I probably would still need some background characters anyway.
Mermaid Huntrix and Siren Saja Boys. Obviously with Rumi also being half Siren. I'll probably expand on this some more later but for now, this is on my mind and I would love to see it.
KPDH x ATLA 2
Due to the results of my last poll, I did end up starting both fics, and here's the second one. This is the Avatar Rumi does canon with her girls one.

Prologue
“It’s so cold… Zoey, why are you so cold?” A groan from one of the three lumped young girls mumbled, and slowly the other two shifted among themselves; the smallest was the one who spoke up next.
“I dunno, but Rumi helpppp, warm me uppp.” She whined and blindly reached out around her, barely recognizing that the three girls were a significant distance apart.
“I don't think it’s Zoey, I think it’s…” As the third girl spoke, all of them gradually seemed to recognize they weren’t close to each other, along with the feeling of cold, soft snow beneath them, “What?!” She jolted up as her eyes fully opened and she looked around herself.
Her yell quickly made the other two girls do the same. Each of them was sitting up and looking at each other in complete surprise, but Mira was the first to recognize their small audience while the other two were looking at their surroundings.
Mira found herself staring at two unfamiliar figures in warm-looking clothes standing on top of the weirdly shaped crater they found themselves in. They looked similar enough to be family of some kind, but she narrowed her eyes at them, both the boy and the girl staring at all of them with extremely wide eyes.
“Who are you two?”

Due to the results of my last poll, I did end up starting both fics, and here's the first one. This is the one where Huntrix works with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, becoming like Uncle Iroh to them over time.

Prologue
“I really wish we didn’t have to come back here…” Mira trailed off as the girls casually walked through the streets of the Fire Nation Capital.
“Wasn’t it you who wanted to track down Tozo? You said that he was exactly the kind of scum you wanted to get before we went on our next break.”
“Well, yeah, obviously I would rather get someone like him sooner rather than later. I just didn’t think he would be so bold as to hide out in the capital.” Mira was practically scowling as they searched for the familiar face of their target. Tozo happened to be known as a local assailant, commonly harming women and children as he traveled between islands to lose any tails. Unlucky for him, Huntrix weren’t known for losing someone once they found them.
“From what I can tell, it seems like the capital is a great place for him to escape to. He probably fits in perfectly.” Rumi finally spoke up, breaking the silence she had held for most of their time since they arrived at the capital. Mira’s jaw set before she pointedly stared to the right, acknowledging but not feeling happy in the fact that she knew how right her partner was. That was one of the biggest reasons she hated being back in the Fire Nation at all… the morals of the nation were twisted, even to the point that “smaller crimes” weren’t seen as too problematic and were allowed to thrive in too many areas.
Zoey slightly bumped her shoulder after they continued to walk in silence for several moments, and Mira closed her eyes to try and stop her dark train of thought. It didn’t matter anyway; they would do this job and then probably head to Ba Sing Se or somewhere else where they could just relax and pamper themselves for at least a few weeks before getting back to work.
“You’re right, but we’ll find him.” Mira smiled at the shorter girl, only to watch as her face shifted from happy to narrowed focus.
“Did you see-?”
“He saw us and ran!” Zoey took off running, easily slipping between and around other folks who seemed surprised at the sudden figure speeding through them. Neither Rumi nor Mira hesitated to take off after her, doing the same.
It was a simple chase, though they did take notice of the man trying his hardest to throw them off with multiple diversions and distractions, including knocking over crates and even throwing people into their direct path. He seemed to get more distressed as he realized none of his efforts were working before he literally ran himself into a corner.
The man glowered at the three girls as soon as he realized he was cornered, but they couldn’t bother to hide their own amusement.
“So, looks like someone hasn’t checked out a map in a while,” Zoey smirked as she stopped right in front of the man, Rumi and Mira barely out of step right behind her. Rumi chuckled while Mira just glared right back at him.
“I haven’t done anything wrong.” He spat the words out with his guard up, but Rumi rolled her eyes.
“Coming from a guy who’s wanted on several islands, I doubt that. But you can discuss that with local authorities if you want.” She stepped closer, only to stop in place with a rather blank expression, the same second that Zoey quickly erected a dirt wall to block the blast of fire he aimed at her with.
That was apparently all Mira needed to charge the man from around the dirt wall as Zoey lowered it. The taller woman promptly ran up on him and proceeded to kick him in the gut, making him slam back into the stone behind him. That wasn’t enough for her, even as he gagged and stumbled, as she then lifted him by the shirt to quickly slam him onto the ground. Her teeth were bared down at him, but the grown man gave out a loud whimper and held up his arms as if it could somehow stop her from doing more.
Mira stared at him for a few more seconds, genuinely expecting more fight from him, but this wasn’t worth it. She rolled her eyes before lightly tilting her head down at him while giving a glance to Zoey.
The younger girl nodded and then shifted the dirt beneath the man to cover both his hands completely as makeshift cuffs.
“I wouldn’t try anything if I were you,” Mira mumbled as she then grabbed him by the shirt to make him stand again, not caring as he tried to crumble again in pain. He let out another whimper, but seemed to realize the girls weren’t going to show him any pity, and he took to trying to fix his labored breaths while being dragged along.
—-----
It happened the second they left the enforcement facility. Not a single civilian in sight.
“Well, isn’t this a nice reception?” Mira drawled out as the three girls took in the crowd around them of at least 20 Fire Nation soldiers, all of them seemingly ready to attack at the drop of a copper piece. Next to her, she could peripherally see Zoey tense up as her hands sneakily reached for her shin-kals at her sides. She sucked in a breath before looking to Rumi to determine if she should go for her weapon as well.
Rumi groaned as she nudged her elbows into both of their sides before raising her arms in surrender. She heard twin sighs behind her and knew they both were copying her, which made her lose a significant amount of tension.
“Huntrix, Firelord Ozai has requested your presence.”
Rumi just knew her partners were suppressing a groan, mainly because she was doing the same.

Short Summaries below
The way I have so many shuffling thoughts in my head for a Kpop Demon Hunters x Avatar the last Airbender crossover fic is crazy
I'm still trying to decide if I'll make it only Kpop Demon Hunters characters, or just mix the universes to include the relevant characters... Because that is basically the most important plot point to figure out
(Maybe I should just make multiple fics?)
Who said that????
Almost immediately after writing this I came up with a few ideas, but I do have a favorite by far.
We may not want to be here (but we want to help you)
Huntrix girls are bounty hunters who end up forced to work under Ozai and eventually they're placed with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee. Normally they do the absolute bare minimum they can and move on with no regard for what the people in charge want or think. What are they gonna do? It's not like they can beat them...
But the ones in charge are 3 teenagers... 3 teenagers who Huntrix are very concerned about because why are they there? The girls are very clearly skilled, but they are children who don't belong on the front lines like this, and also the way they seem to have total control over everything isn't good either, and they also end up very worried about the girl's mental states and their pasts as time goes on.
So they end up actively working with them to try and get their trust, and to help them realize things don't have to be the way they currently are.
Basically Huntrix becomes the girl’s Uncle Iroh.

Drawing art for the Rapple fanfic fusion with Miraculous Ladybug wasn't on my 2025 bingo board but here we are:
I just did a supposed design of Apple White as Chaos Kitty (Apple's heroic name in this fic) and I don't pretend it was canon for that fic. But damn it, I liked the concept and took it.
I didn't use references either, so the sketch may not be accurate, I also can't draw lips either, so yeah, mouth-strip, sorry about that
And I also know that the ears on her tiara look more like wolf ears than cat ears, sorry I have a problem with them
P.s. Now I'm going to go on AO3 and leave the author of the fic a review with a link to this art, baaeeeeeeeeee
I love this so much! I'm so glad you like the concept, and you made such a great representation of it!
I especially love the tiara ears, it reminds me of Kitty but also feels so perfect for Apple!
I suck at consistent updates for individual fics mainly because of how many fandoms I hyperfixate on and how many fics I write, but I'll def be giving this one more attention for a while. Thanks for the extra inspiration!
