The Great Big Fish Wants A:tLA Captivity and Slavery Fic Rec Post

[attackfish]

I have a craving I just can't deny.  I want the angstiest whumpiest captivity and slavery fic you can link me to in this fandom

Some rules:

No "Zuko holds such and such character captive and they fall in looove!"  No.  If the captive falls in love with the captor, it better be seriously screwed up.

Gen is best

I love angst

Absolutely no Ty Zula under any circumstances

The Fire Sage (http://archiveofourown.org/works/133156) by jalendavi_lady -- Fire Sage Shyu was taken into military custody after the events at Crescent Island. What happened to him afterward? [WARNING: Contains cold blooded torture (non-bloody variant, physical appearance of injuries not clearly described) and its aftermath.]

And, um, there's one particular Katara/Zuko fic I know of that fits your criteria. Into the Inferno (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3471273/1/Into-the-Inferno) by InkHeart17. It's decidedly non-romantic Zutara, and by the end of it I wanted Zuko to die in a fire. You know how it's a Zutaran cliche that Zuko was really chasing after Katara that whole time in Season 1? It demonstrates, at length, that the sort of person who would forcibly pursue Katara and capture her in the cliche Zutaran fashion would not be an adorkable Prince Charming. He'd be a scary SOB.

*decides not to read Into the Inferno, since I don't want to see scary SOB Zuko* That whole trope is one of my least favorite in fandom or not. Yes, let's glorify Stockholm syndrome and abuse.

Reading The Fire Sage. This hits the spot. I may be a little warped.

That particular fic doesn't. Katara never falls for him, hates him all the way through, and eventually beats the crap out of him. Although it's a little creepy how a lot of the reviewers beg the author for an alternate Bad End for Katara.

* Scorched Earth (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4394574/1/Scorched-Earth) has a slavery angle in the first three or so chapters.

* 100 Years (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3415735/19/100-Years) has a captive Bumi in Chapter 19.

I didn't mean that fic, I meant the fics it was deconstructing. I just don't want to read the character I like being a romantically obsessed jerk, instead of an honor obsessed one. I'm a wuss that way.

read 100 years, will check out Scorched Earth.

If you're warped, then so am I, since "The Fire Sage", "The Way It Was Meant To Be", and "Second Nature" are among my favorite stories.

We'll be warped together.
