attackfish | The Avatar_500 Jump Start Posting And Comments Meme

Alright, I'm unwilling to let

avatar_500 go without a fight, so I am going to incentivize participation. Write and post a fic for Round 65 - Air, and I'll fill a drabble request of yours. Comment on all of the fics in the round (everybody said they wanted more comments), and at the end of the round, link me to all of the comments and I'll fill a request for you. Do both, and I will fulfill three requests for commentfic.

The rules for posting to

avatar_500 can be found here.

You don't have to belong to

avatar_500 or have ever participated in it before to earn a request for commenting, and if you do want to join to post a fic for the round, all you have to do is click the "join the community" button, and you're in, easy.

About which I will not write (so don't request):

Ty Zula
NC-17
Incest
Ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
Rape
Other people's OCs

Other than that, everything is fair game.

The deadline to post fic is Saturday December 1st at 11:00 PM EST. The deadline to post comments is Saturday December 8th at 11:00 PM EST.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Kindle the Wind: anything at all.

The Kindle the Wind Meme is still open, indefinitely, so you should probably ask something else here and think of some prompts for KtW and ask them on that meme. I plan to do a lot more fills for that as soon as I finish this one %&$# White Collar novella that keeps getting longer every time I look at it.

...Now it's like Christmas AND my birthday.

Okay, something (and I don't care how you make it work) involving Firelord Azula or (unless it runs afoul of your age difference rule) Zuko/Toph, whichever you prefer.

The age rule is really about characters who are old enough to be other characters' parents. I'm quite fond of Toko, though I age them up some.

The floor tiles of the banquet hall rose up to close around his boots. "Not so fast!"

"What?" Zuko shouted, whirling around and trying instinctively to pivot his feet, and listed dangerously sideways before he managed to right himself.

Tough brought her hands down, and the floor tiles shrank back into their normal flat surface, and marched forward to poke her finger into his ribs. "You might be the big, fancy Firelord back home, but this is my city."

Zuko stared, and blinked, and stood there for a moment. "I'm going to tell Sokka you said that."

"That this is my city? Good. Tell Councilman Sokka-" She stuck her nose in the air as she said their friend's title as mock-grandly as she could manage. "-Whose city this is. He needs all the reminders he can get."

He sighed. "Sure, Toph, now excuse me, but I'm going to sit down and-"

"Oh no you don't." Toph poked him again, harder. "This banquet has assigned seating, and you are nowhere near your seat."

Zuko glanced down at the card with his name on it next to the seat he was about to take. "Uh..."

Toph put her hands on his back and started pushing him. "You're sitting over there, with me, and a bunch of..." She sneered, "Prominent business owners."

"I'm sitting here with the ambassador from the Northern Water Tribe so that we can discuss tariffs while pretending we've never held a meeting."

"You will not leave me alone with these people, because I will hit somebody, and then I'll have to arrest myself," she hissed.

He gave in and started walking in the direction she wanted him to. "I don't remember you ever being this concerned with the rules before."

"I am when I make them."

Zuko rolled his eyes. "Figures."

Toph stepped forward to stan beside him and lowered her voice. "I'm naked under my armor."

Zuko did his best to glare at her. "And how does that feel?"

"Kind of sticky." She shrugged. "I'm sweating like crazy in here."

"That's great." Zuko nodded slowly, unsure of what to say to that. "Really sexy. Uh, I'll just-"

She elbowed him in the ribs. "Are you coming back to my place tonight, or not?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess." He closed his eyes, and opened them again.

"Wow, Zuko, you're so decisive," she said with a smirk. "You must be unbeatable at the bargaining table."

"Very funny."

She grabbed his arm and slung her own around it. "So why do you sighted people find this whole naked-under-my-whatever thing sexy anyway? It's not like you can see any more than you usually can."

"I'm really not sure." Zuko scratched his head. "But we can try to figure it out tonight, if you want."

"Of course I do. That's why I asked you to come over. Moron, what would you do without me?"

"You know, Toph, I really don't know." He said softly, then smiled. "But a really important Republic City official told me I'm here tonight to keep you from getting yourself arrested."

She squeezed his arm. "Just so you know, if you fail, you have to break me out of prison."

He squeezed back. "Deal."

What will Zuko say to the Water Tribe ambassador, I wonder? I like this a lot. It's very funny and Toph is very... Toph. Thank you. :)

He's going to say "I'm really sorry, you know what she's like!" and the ambassador is probably going to laugh his head off.
