attackfish | Birthday AU Commentfic Meme!

It’s my birth month, and to celebrate, I’m hosting a commentfic meme! I’m in the mood to write some AU fics, so that’s the theme of the meme. I’m open to both Avatar: the Last Airbender and Harry Potter requests, and I’m also taking requests in any of my existing AUs (Except Children of Mars), including the ones I established im my last commentfic meme, as well as new ones. Comment with up to five requests, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic. I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.

weirdlet ,

beboots , and

floranna get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because

beboots and

floranna are the best betas ever, and

weirdlet has a truly bizarre AU I inflicted on her rattling around in her head. Also, anyone who wants me to write anything from my AU of Sun Child needs to ask

weirdlet and

floranna , because it’s theirs.

*Closed and Finished*

Given that this meme has spawned a fair few universes, sorting the fics by requester would be clunky, so instead, I'm sorting them by universe this time.

*shakes head bemusedly* It's just so not my crack, though I adore Avamorphs and Avateers. my crack is more "what if this happened? How would canon change after that?"

Though Katara as Davy would be a hilarious, beautiful thing.

From:

True^^ And could be that we're conflating AU with Fusion, perhaps.

Oooh. Katara Jones menacing shipwrecked-sailor!Zuko.

If I ever run an AU meme again, I'm specifying no fusions.

Do ya fear death?

This isn’t an answer to the “chillin’ together” prompt. I have an answer for that coming. This is just something the request made me think of.

Zuko owed it to his people to fight for the most advantageous trade deal he could. It was a ruler’s duty. It wasn’t like he wasn’t over his head, anyway.

It was just, the other ruler was supposed to be pushing against him, trying to get the best deal for his people he could. It wasn’t supposed to be so easy to get whatever he wanted out of Kuei, no matter what it did to the Earth Kingdom. Kuei made it so easy. It was almost like he deserved what he got.

Which, Zuko realized with nauseating clarity was probably the way Azula had always seen him.

Which made Zuko feel worse.

At least he felt guilty about it. That was good, right?

From:

weirdlet.livejournal.com

Yes'm ^^

Shall I redo my unfilled prompts for non-fused?

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

*beams in a most beamy way* YES PLEASE!

From:

beboots.livejournal.com

Ooh... parallels! Very interesting! I can definitely see that happening, what with Kuei's naiveté. I had not thought of this before! Thanks for writing. :)

NICE!! great idea

The lowering of the temperature dos not make land more fertile it would just change the Si Wong desert to something similar to the Gobi Desert instead of the Sahara.

So it is not just a lose of life force across the world it is also a "rot" field

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

During ice ages, rain fall pattern shift as wind and current patterns change as more ocean water is locked in ice. The Sahara, and much of the modern Middle East became extremely lush during the big ice ages, as did other warm deserts, according to all of the paleontological and archaeological evidence we have I live in a cold desert. I know that a change in temperature doesn't make a desert more fertile. Also, ice ages disproportionately affect the temperatures of the world. The closer to the poles, the more extreme the change. Towards the equator, other factors, such as the changed water and wind circulation patterns have a much larger effect. So in the Fire Nation, the change in temperature would have been much less noticeable.

I love it, especially that it is Katara’s bloodthirstiness that Aang finds attractive and the 'Aang smiled with pure, soppy joy. “Us… kissing…”' part med me think of the tongue movement in the 'Scott Pilgrim: The Last Airbender' trailer

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

Together, they will be the strongest couple in the entire world. They will dominate the Earth!

Have not seen said trailer.

1) I don't know if to praise you or dame you. You have created some very interesting worlds and I want to know more about them all

2) Did I understand it right that it was the Blue Spirit mask that Mai gave Zuko?

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

Lol, I'm just stacking up AU worlds. *rolls eyes* Some of these will get expanded, but this one probably won't. It's just too ugly for more than brief glimpses.

Yes it is.

Perfect. I'll never see "The Little Mermaid" the same way.

Meng is adorible, poor kid.

Ozai as Katara's ex in any verse cracks me up. And then Zuko and Azula ere too. There's something Greek mythology-esque about that.

From:

clockwerkchaos.livejournal.com

Ty Lee- Does Ty Lee airbend? (and are they allied with Ozai's clan, or opposed or what?)

SWT- Huh, thinking about that Hama was probably Katara's waterbending Sifu.

Toph-Aw, I kinda like the idea of a verse where they arn't strained.

On Ji- I'm giggling at the thought of the teacher (who's gone slightly crazy) snapping at them for dancing, and the kids are just confused. Why would they "dance"? It doesn't help make food.

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

Ty Lee airbends! and her family has taken the opportunity of the collapse of the Fire Nation to hightail it back to the western Air archipelago and not have anything to do with Ozai or Azula.

Katara's issues because of this are manifold.

Heheh. Toph would like that too. Pity I'm such a horrible human being.

I'm not sure. Humans are remarkably consistent seekers of a good time, even in desperate straits. Zuko might not see the point in tea, but he certainly sees the point of staring dopily to Mai's eyes. If he ever gets to chance. The kid would be more confused as to what this dancing thing actually is.

From:

clockwerkchaos.livejournal.com

Katara's issues because of this are manifold. ? Is Hama still insane in this verse?

I'm not sure. Humans are remarkably consistent seekers of a good time, even in desperate straits.

Point.

She's not... crazy isn't the right word for what she was in canon, but she isn't a traumatized prisoner desperate to get back at the people who hurt her. But she's a nasty, manipulative piece of work in this verse.

From:

attackfish.livejournal.com

Zuko’s eyes opened every morning with the rising sun, and when the feel of Mai’s hand around his wrist sank through to his sleep clouded mind, he closed his eyes again. Face twisted, gut twisting, with furious resignation, Zuko squinted at her sleeping face, and at her fingers. She had been sleeping deeper since her belly had begun to swell. Maybe...

The doctors had been talking to her less about making him rest since her belly had begun to swell too. He’d done his job. The succession was safe.

Zuko knew they were just waiting for him to die, eager for the day his child would take the throne in his place. They didn’t want him to live any longer. He was the traitor, the conqueror, the usurper. He swallowed. Never had he ever thought his own people would see him that way. And if it had been the Earth Kingdom seeing their new Fire Nation rulers that way, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Though what would happen if she miscarried, or the baby died- Those things happened all the time. Zuko resisted the urge to touch Mai’s belly, to reassure himself that their child was still safe. Her hand felt so warm around his wrist. He rubbed her knuckles, and she mumbled in her sleep. Softly, slowly, he pressed down on her knuckles, and her fingers opened just slightly, enough for him to slip his hand out. Tiptoeing, he made his way around the bed to the window and glanced back Mai. Her knives and shuriken darts lay in their sheathes, next to the bed, and Zuko felt the welling up of the familiar sense of shame that Mai couldn’t wear them to bed anymore the way she always had. He spasmed in his sleep sometimes.

She was going to give him all kinds of grief when she woke up and he was already out of bed. The doctors never talked to him about resting, only Mai. They only... Mai didn’t stop trying to keep him alive just because his doctors had stopped caring. Mai still cared.

He grabbed the windowsill hard when he reached it and let out a quiet sigh. He was safe. Sometimes, he wondered if it would be better just to crawl, so he had less far to fall.

Zuko leaned against the wall in a patch of pinkish-orange sunrise light. Blinking the last of the sleep out of his eyes, he stretched his arms and grabbed his toes. The sunlight sank into his skin, muscles, and bones. Fire burst out of his fingers with the first punch, dying in the air. When the spasm hit, he shoved his elbow hard into the windowsill and held himself up on his feet until it passed. Legs trembling, he brought his hand up in front of himself, sparks cracking behind it. The kata came so easily, so smoothly, born of reflex instead of thought, the first one he had ever learned. It felt so good just to bend, to do something more than hold a fire in his hand to read with. It was like-

It was like nothing else. It didn’t matter that what he was fighting was part of him. He was used to that. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t fight the people he really wanted to burn. He was used to that too.

He watched the last of the flames shrivel up and disappear over the empty floor. His heart hammered in his chest, and he didn’t know if it was the longing or the lightning his sister had used. With one last look at where the fires had been, he grimaced and and swung a dressing gown around his shoulders before padding out the door and down the hall to his office.

There was an education reform law he was in the middle of drafting. If the doctors were right, he didn’t have much time. He had better make the most of it.

Gah! Poor Zuko. None of his advisers want to keep the packet after they've gotten the seeds.

I imagine Mai's going to have to spend quite a few years watching out for assassins. If she's out of the way then the Court would have a free hand to mold Junior into a Kuei.
