echoes of an empty palace

for @tysukiweek day one: palace– sorry this is late!

The lushness of the Royal Palace comes as a surprise to Suki. Her only experience with the Fire Nation previously had been the Boiling Rock, and the barren landscape had wormed its way into her mind, drilling so deeply that she had written Ember Island off as a fluke. The vivid greenery that fills the caldera that the Royal Palace sits within came as a complete surprise to her— but it was not the only thing from the Fire Nation that has surprised her in the last few weeks.

Zuko had set time aside to help her find her warriors, when he’d started the long process of freeing the prisoners of war within the Fire Nation, and she had checked each girl off a mental list, the familiar faces lightening her burden of grief. She had mourned them, when she had been transferred away from them, and they were swallowed up by the network of greedy prisons the Fire Nation fed with their most valuable enemies— Suki had expected that she would never see them again. Either they would die or she would and regardless of which doom fell upon them she would have failed them.

It’s more than a miracle that she gets to see them again.

They don’t return to her alone, though.

“You haven’t been able to get up again,” Ty Lee says softly from the doorway, her voice a delicately placed step in a forest full of broken sticks. Suki, a lump under the sheets, doesn’t respond for a moment. A few moments. Enough for Ty Lee’s heart to being beating too fast. 

“No, I haven’t,” Suki says eventually. “It’s- the pain.”

Suki’s voice is stoic, controlled - what less from her Suki, brave and protective to a fault - but Ty Lee darts across the room without another pause and carefully wraps herself around her girlfriend’s form. Carefully, as not to trigger another painful attack. She spends a moment softly stroking the back of Suki’s head, before carefully breathing an idea into reality.

“I could try to help,” she ventures tentatively. “With- my understanding of Chi. I could do some manipulation. See if I can clear some residual issues in your Chi. Maybe that could alleviate some of it.”

“You think that would help?” 

Ty Lee shrugs. “It’s about healing, isn’t it?” What she means, and will not outright say, is if her knowledge of chi can’t help with this, what’s the point of it at all?

ameliorate: ficlet concept, set post-canon where Suki’s years as a Kyoshi Warrior lead to her suffering with on-set chronic pain, and Ty Lee hopes her knowledge of Chi might be able to help her with it.

@tysukiweek , day five, prompt: chi

[drowning-in-cacophony]

Suki can already feel all the ways she could break the knot on the ropes binding her wrists behind her back. From the subtle shift of Ty Lee’s shoulders against her back, it’s clear Ty Lee’s pinned the ways down too.

The men mutter among themselves, glinting weapons at their sides and devious intents for the nearby village in their heads. They’d thought catching Ty Lee and Suki off-guard and tying them up would be enough.

It won’t. The rope bruises their wrists, but by the time the hour’s out, the men will be the ones looking worse off.

Lemon Stings and Onion Tears: ficlet concept where Ty Lee and Suki are out for an off-duty walk in the woods, only to stumble upon a group of men who have designs on a nearby village’s bounty. Tied up and thought defenseless, Ty Lee and Suki only have to bide their time before they’re showing these men never to turn their backs on them.

@tysukiweek , day four, prompt: rope/bruises

TySuki Week Day 5 - Chi/Aging

Well so funny story I may or may not have told @avatraang that I would write a TySuki sequel to my Ty Lee character study Like Walking on Air, and then very quickly after seeing the prompts for @tysukiweek realized there was just no way I’d be able to deliver in time.

HOWEVER that’s not to say I won’t deliver eventually, in my usual 2-5… months? years? Idk, it’s hard to find spoons to write while also adulting.

But I was inspired by the Day 5 prompt, and so in honor of TySuki Week I’ve decided to post the opening of the slow-burn, told-thru-flashbacks fic I would’ve liked to have finished in time, but unfortunately have not TT.TT

As a quick note it’s probably not necessary to read LWoA before reading this, but it would definitely be helpful, as I will be recycling OC’s and headcanons about the other Ty Sisters.

––

Ty Lee grew up on an island. It least, she could tell it was an island when she saw it on a map. But in practice, she never saw the ocean until she moved to Caldera City for school, hours away from her family home. Kyoshi Island is a different sort of island. It has two main roads, both still mostly dirt– a ring road that goes around the circumference, and a road that cuts through the middle from its biggest port.

From the tallest tree on the highest cliff, Ty Lee can see the entire island, the ocean in every direction. It’s one of her favorite places on the island, and on the morning of her thirtieth birthday she climbs to the top to watch the sunrise. Recently, she’s becoming more aware that this ability is a privilege– and a temporary one. She isn’t quite as flexible as she was at fifteen, and her right elbow, dislocated more times than she can count in combat and in training, always aches before it rains. She supposes there will come a day when she’ll climb this tree for the last time– either due to its age or her own. She wonders if she’ll know that day when it comes.

After the sun peeks fully over the eastern ocean, she trains her eyes on the ferry port. It’s much bigger, and busier, than it was when she first arrived, but the bones are the same. The original dock– now the smallest of three– is where she set foot on the island for the first time.

Time seems to stop. Frozen, in that moment, with every eventuality spilling out in front of her. Ty Lee can only stare, at the red liquid dripping down the corner of Suki’s mouth, the glass half falling from her hand.

When time resumes, Ty Lee’s still too late to catch Suki before she collapses to the ground.

Flowers In The Throat: ficlet concept in which at a celebration, Suki drinks poisoned wine - and now Ty Lee must wait and see if she survives. All while thinking over the life they’ve shared so far - and how she doesn’t know how she’ll go on if Suki doesn’t make it.

@tysukiweek​ , day three, prompt: wine

@tysukiweek 2022 day iii: wine/thirst. (n5fw.)

It always happens like this. Every time they link. They have the time of their life —hang out at the beach, go shopping for new outfits, come up with new and increasingly ridiculous katas. But in the they always end up here. They should know by now not to drink wine around each other, but deep down, Suki knows they’re doing this shit on purpose. The innocent memories on the beach get chased away by their new outfits ending up on the floor, and their katas turn into kisses that smell of rosé. Suki can taste arousal in the space between Ty Lee’s inner thighs, can see it in the way their bodies curve around each other’s as their glasses of wine lay empty besides the bed. Suki can see it all, and what she doesn’t see is any semblance of intoxication. Yet that’s what they blame it on anyway, every time. She never thought her and her best friend would end up being the living lyrics to a song, but in the aftermath of her legs quivering from Ty Lee’s tongue winding her up, she can’t help but think —it started out with a kiss. How did it end up like this?

The very first bottle of wine that led to this (stored on top of her kitchen shelves) holds her answers, but Ty Lee is too warm in Suki’s arms for Suki to bother to look.

for Day 3 of @tysukiweek - wine/thirst

[drowning-in-cacophony]

It’s not really for any prompt, but the light makes patterns and pattern is a prompt, so… some sleeping tysuki for you all!

@tysukiweek , day two, prompt: patterns

[ID: digital art of Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They’re shown from above, lying down on a bed, asleep. Light is coming through slatted windows, making that pattern on them. Suki is on her back, one arm over her middle. Ty Lee is on her side, tucked against Suki’s left side, her arm over Suki’s chest. They are dressed in pyjama type clothes with their hair down. A bed cover lies across their hips. End ID].

[avatraang]

“Stone walls do not a prison make, / nor iron bars a cage; / minds innocent and quiet take / that for an hermitage; / if I have freedom in my love / and in my soul am free, / angels alone, that soar above, / enjoy such liberty.” —richard lovelace.

@tysukiweek 2022 day ii: patterns/prisoner.

Azula tells Sokka that Suki is her favorite prisoner, but this isn’t exactly true. Suki is her favorite prisoner from a very particular distance and for a very intriguing reason. One of her girls has taken quite an interest in her, and this interests Azula. She sees the way Ty Lee looks at Suki when Azula brings her along to visit the Boiling Rock, sees the way she perks up at mention of visits even as Mai sinks further into her seat. She sends Ty Lee alone, once, with explicit instructions to terrorize the girl, just to see what might happen. Curiosity has always been one of Azula’s biggest faults, and when she sees the way Suki looks a fraction calmer the next time she visits —with Ty Lee in tow, of course— knowing and jealousy infiltrate Azula’s marrow. She puts an end to the visitations. She’s gotten all she needs from interrogating Suki, and Azula doesn’t think she wants the risk of overstepping her win.

It seems she oversteps it anyway. It happens in the blink of an eye —Azula tastes dirt for the first time in her life, and she finds it to be as dry as it seems. In retrospect, it isn’t a surprise that Ty Lee betrays her. Not only does she trust Mai more than her, but Ty Lee is helping the girl she likes get away while she betrays the Princess who captured her.

[shifuaang]

She awoke to a murmur of voices. 

“How can we trust her? She’s so clearly Fire Nation. Her clothes, her hair, the coins she had in her bag… I say we leave her here to heal on her own. You’ve already done more than enough, Hanshi.”

“No, she comes with us. For now, she’s our prisoner. But she might be a useful informant or even ally in the future.”

Ty Lee gave a short, painful laugh. What more could she tell them after revealing her most closely kept secret?

AU where Ty Lee escapes from Azula when she asks her to join her team and runs into the Kyoshi Warriors outside of Ba Sing Se. 

For Day 2 of @tysukiweek - patterns/prisoner

[drowning-in-cacophony]

For cover, we have two Kyoshi Warriors sheltering from the heavy Fire Nation rainy season!

@tysukiweek , day one, prompt:cover

[ID: digital art of Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They stand in an open at one side corridor, under the roof. They are sheltering from the heavy rainfall that can be seen. They wear a more informal version of the Kyoshi Warrior robes. Suki looks irritated by the rain, and Ty Lee looks fondly at Suki. The second image is a close up of them. End ID].

Inescapable, Act II

our secret moments in your crowded room  

There were tears now, shared between the both of them, and the ache that Ty Lee felt knowing that she was the cause of Suki’s pain gnawed at her stomach. She wanted to throw up, from either distress or her newfound condition.

After shouting and crying and the initial shock subsided, they discussed their options, of which there seemed very little. They spoke of terminating the pregnancy, but that would require more shady dealings and the risk of someone in the palace finding out. They spoke of running away and not telling Zuko, but it didn’t feel right to exclude him, and they would lose everything if they were to go into hiding. It was clear that they were stuck between a rock and hard place, unable to do much of anything but live out the decision that Ty Lee had made, the night that she had orchestrated.

She tucked her head against the crook of Suki’s neck and breathed out a hundred apologies, though she wasn’t sure that was enough.
