#space fic!

[nuttwatt]

I may or may not write an azutara space fic before I leave my major. something like azula as the sun and katara as both gravity and outward pressure that makes solar fusion possible.

For the past 50 years the USA and the Russian Federation have been involved in a tug-of-war over the moon in which one country lands on the moon and "accidentally" breaks the other country's flag, prompting the other country to rush to the moon to fix their own flag and "accidentally" break the other's. It's getting expensive. So for the fifty year anniversary of the first moon landing both countries manage to reach an agreement: in a joint mission with the ESA they will go to the moon, plant their flags and then leave, never to return.

Obviously, there is a lot of responsibility resting on Steve's shoulders; he can only hope that he's up to the task. He prepared as well as he could for the job and everything it entails, including leading a team made up of strangers, high publicity, potential attempts by the Russians to sabotage the mission, Republicans insisting that he's a traitor for doing his job. None of these are easy to deal with, but they were expected.

What Steve however did not prepare for was that the two astronauts sent by Russia would be a) famous spies, b) as attractive and beautiful as professional underwear models and c) possibly actually flirting with him. He might be in over his head.
