Because I have all the patience of a gerbil on speed, I've gotten permission from @bearsandbeansart to share this wonderful art of June and Colonel Mongke from Avatar: The Last Airbender ahead of the rest of her collection. Bet you didn't know they were a couple, but they totally are! According to, um, me. And the two fics I wrote.

Give me your morally ambiguous mercenaries and I will show you the face of true love. Or BearsandBeans will. 🤝 She takes commissions btw.

Appearing first in The Little Red House on the Coast of Shaozu and then the sequel, Beyond the Painted Hills.

I hope somebody else decides to write them one day, too.

3, 18, and 28 for June and Mongke! I haven't gotten around to reading it in full, but what i have read has me curious

I love June and Col. Mongke and I love this fic. What started out as a crack ship hooked me through the heart and never let me go. I swear I'll finish the last chapter of the sequel, too.

3. Jealousy issues? Yes, but no? They both assume the other person is sleeping with other people for most of their relationship, don't like it, hate that they don't like it, and never say anything about it because obviously it's fine, that would be ridiculous that they would care about that, it's just sex. Neither of them have slept with anyone else for years.

18. Evening rituals? Fucking. More seriously, for the first ten years of their relationship they each maintained that all they were doing was hooking up. They were never together for more than three days at a time, and during those three days they would have a lot of sex. Even when they didn't particularly need it themselves, they'd think the other person expected it. And if sex was just an excuse to fall asleep together no one had to know.

28. Who takes the longest getting ready to leave? June, but not by much. They're both used to a rather nomadic lifestyle and the occasional need to get out of a bad situation fast, so they're swift and efficient when it comes to getting going, but June has more hair.

From this OTP ask game!

New Fic: Beyond the Painted Hills

Once upon a time I wrote a very sad fic about June and Col. Mongke from the Rough Rhinos. Twenty years later, they finally get their happy ending.

Written for @atlararepairmonth Week 1 prompt: Only One Bed

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Title: Beyond the Painted Hills Relationships: June/Mongke Summary: June doesn't know why she wanders the wild coast of Shaozu year after year in the dry times between bounties. She knows no one here, has nothing. That is, until one night she finally stumbles upon the only thing she's ever lost. Rated T

Finished Fic: Beyond the Painted Hills

You know the kind of crack pairing that you go into thinking "ha ha ha wouldn't it be funny if" and by the end you're ugly crying about their love story?

Yeah.

In which an older June finds out it's not too late after all.

NSFW #10, June/Monkge

10. Aftercare/afterwards headcanon

Aw, I'm so thrilled people are asking about this ship!

June and Mongke have, shall we say, very aggressive sex, and neither are particularly outwardly sentimental. Afterwards looks a lot like pulling out and collapsing in a sticky, exhausted and/or drunken heap. Neither would specifically call it cuddling. But it totally is.

Ship headcanons!
