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.  [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet , [livejournal.com profile] beboots , and [livejournal.com profile] floranna  get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because [livejournal.com profile] beboots  and [livejournal.com profile] floranna  are the best betas ever, and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet  and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Happy birthday month. :D

Let's see...

1) What's Aang like in an Evil!Mirror 'verse AU? (You know how Star Trek shows always have that one mirror 'verse where good people are evil and evil are good? (And Spock has a goatee?)).

2) Give me a Harry Potter fusion! One cast member of from Avatar's first day at Hogwarts. Are they muggle-born? Where are they sorted? Ect.

3) "Aang had always truly wondered if all of the Air Nomads had been killed more than 100 years ago, but he never expected to find this."

4) It was just another wacky day onboard the Federation Starship USS Avatar....

5) Lastly... give me a spooky Avatar Halloween story, please! Like Simpson's Tree-house of Horrors, only with the GAang. :D

Another Wacky Day: Sokka3PO’s going to need some serious cactus juice after this.

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I’m only the most casual of Star Trek fans, so you get Star Wars instead. This grew a lot bigger in my mind than I’m writing here, but Iroh Wan Kenobi, Aang Skywalker, Toph Solo, Jet Calrissian, and Prince Zuko Organa are also running around.

Jet wants to garrote me for making him a collaborator, you know.





“This is all your fault.”

KataraD2 gave an indignant beep and kept rolling over the dunes.

“You hear what I said? It’s your fault we’re stuck on this stupid planet,” Sokka3PO howled, his voice rising on every word. “In the stupid middle of nowhere, with this stupid sand getting into everything. It’s all your fault!”

KataraD2 trilled, amused, just infuriating the other droid further.

“You just had to steal those stupid plans from those stupid space pirates. You couldn’t leave it alone, could you? Noooooo-”

The little droid had a way of beeping that sounded just like it was saying “Sokka!” The other droid knew KataraD2 had a mission. It new it.

“And that’s another thing. If you say one more word about your stupid mission-” KataraD2’s wheels kicked up a stray pebble and sent it flying into Sokka3PO’s head. “Yeeurgh!”

Rocking back and forth on her wheels, KataraD2 flickered her lights with laughter.

“If my gears gum up with sand, it’s going to be all your fault!

KataraD2 ignored him cheerfully.

“Stupid droid!”

KataraD2 had really thought an interpreter droid would have a more varied vocabulary.

LOL! Oh those two. :D In contrast, I'm only a casual viewer of Star Wars so I'm afraid this is going to have to be my new personal canon when it comes to C3PO and R2D2. hehe.

Great job!

Really? It was my first fandom... By which I mean, it was my fandom when I was four. My dad and I quote it and act out scenes together while I make Matzo balls every year.

I think fandom likes to forget the two of them are siblings with a sibling dynamic all its own. Or doesn't find sibling dynamics interesting. Or something. *shakes head* MORE KATARA SOKKA SIBLING FICS

Dad tries to steal the matzo balls before they get into the soup and I whack his hand with the spoon and speak Yodaese at him. Many fond memories.

yeah I resemble that remark. my Dad would steal my freshly baked bread and eat everything but the crust. (and put the crust back in the pan) snort!! Umm where in the world am I going to find some Matzo Ball soup (I need some now)- not around here for sure. Road trip!! H.

*giggles*. I love Katara and Sokka's sibling relationship! So does this mean Aang and Zuko are twins? Now I'm imagining Darth Ozai say, "Aang, I am your father." XD

It does! There is nothing serious to be found here, however, just crack.

In This Verse, Azula Totes Rescues Puppies

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Aang drummed his fingers on the door frame and smiled disarmingly as Katara’s water creeped into the kinks in the Fire Nation princess’s grimy, battered armor. The blood started to drip down her arms. “Now,” he grinned. Azula shuddered. Children weren’t supposed to look like- “Are you going to tell us where your father and brother are hiding?”

Re: In This Verse, Azula Totes Rescues Puppies

[identity profile] avocado-love.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
*Shivers* Short, but I had a good idea about the horrible day Azula was about to have.

I'm telling ya, waterbenders are secretly the *scariest*.

Thanks for writing these!

Oh man... Puppy-Rescuing!Azula would be a VERY strange beast... ;) I also have to wonder how Zuko would turn out in this verse. Is HE the sibling that all of the turtleducks are terrified of? Would he start out vaguely good in season one and descend into darkness and insanity?

But man, loyal!Azula is neat to read. As is evil!Aang.

Re: In This Verse, Azula Totes Rescues Puppies

I've been trying very, very hard not to think about it. Very very hard.

A thought on that.

The last testament of Shespa, Air Nomad

I have found it, to late, but I, I finally understand t. I cannot save myself, but I leave this, in the hope that future generations will understand.

As a younge child I was always facinated by stories of the Avatar. The great tyrant which the world must united to destroy. How each terrible one was cast down, by trickery, skill, grand alliance or saddest of all, those who died of old age, terrorizing the land until then. Yet time and again there was one thing I could not understand. How did the Avatar's rise up?

They were not born into power, they had to learn each element, yet time and again they would. How? I asked the elder, and later, as I traveled the nations, I asked others, the Fire Sages, Water Wise Women, nuns, enlightened travelers. Yet always the the answered were the same, greed, power, evil, a hatred of the system.

And yet these answeres never satified me. For how could they be so foolish. Every child knows the stories of the Avatars, and every child knows that they will kill their teachers as readily as anyone else, how could anyone hope to gain?

But I have learned. When the call came out to opposed the new Avatar, I joinied readily, helping to spy and track his movements. And as I did, I watched and understood the true power of the Avatar.

For the Avatar's power lies in far more than the Avatar State and multiple bending. It's true power lies in what it can do to people. The Avatar can, effect people, I do not now how. It comes to them, and those around it are changed.

This is how the Avatar learns it's elements. Sometimes it warps the perceptions of those around it, taking a cruel delight in having it's first teacher view it as a loving, dutiful child, only to break it's heart with a sadistic glee when it is ready to leave. Sometimes it warps the desire of those it wants, making them angries, more submissive, greedier, whatever it needs to get them to follow it.

Beware this power, for it is vast, and subtle. I wish I could do more but, the Avatar needs an Airbender, and my opposition has drawn his attention. Even now I can feel myself, feel myself changing. I feel rage, anger, anger at the world, the world which stands by as I can changed and controled and that won't listen to me (here the writing trails off into scribble and torn pages)

no, no I must stay focused. I, I cannot keep this book. For soon I would gleefully tear it apart with my own hands. I have sealed in in this waterprof satchel, and dropped it in the rivine so I would not be able to find it. Please if you find this, let the world know. Let them know of the true danger of facing the Avatar.

I thought I told you I was trying to to think about it, whaaaa!

Actually, the part I was trying not to think about was Zuko's alignment, but an Avatarian ability to warp minds gives me an idea for that, and... Oh no.

This is AWESOME!

Oh Come On, Of Course Zuko’s a HufflePuff

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
On a side note, I refuse to believe your third request is anything but canon, damn it!

Aaaand apparently for this AU, Which takes place post DH everyone is the same age.



Zuko was born in Azkaban. Zuko’s mom was dead now. If Zuko’s mom weren’t dead, she would hunt him down and kill him.

He fiddled with the yellow and black tie and kept his head down.

No one knew who his father was. His mom was married, but he didn’t know if that even mattered, and now, she wasn’t telling anyone. Bellatrix Lestrange’s son couldn’t even claim to be a Pureblood. It was a disgrace. He felt vaguely ashamed it didn’t matter to him.

Zuko clasped his wand in his pocket and fingered the carving on the handle. It was his Uncle Iroh’s great grandfather’s.

Uncle Iroh’s great grandfather had been a Hufflepuff. This was his fault.

Never give up without a fight.

He wondered if his mom even knew he existed. She’d been so crazy for so long, and besides, that’s what war orphanages were for.

Most people there had families killed by someone named Lestange.

The common room was a bright, sunny yellow that made him crave windows and air. But it was underground. There were no windows. There was nothing but yellow and laughing people.

As a girl flung herself down onto the sofa beside him, it almost toppled over under the force of her. She was tiny. She shouldn’t be able to do that. “So what’s with the ponytail?” She asked, grabbing it.

Zuko pried her hand off, but her fingers came away with a few black strands. “It’s mine!” he yelped.

“Yeah yeah yeah.” She folded her arms and propped up her feet on his lap. “So everyone’s talking about you.”

“Great.”

“Stop it.” She winked at him, and he squinted, trying to figure out what was wrong with her eyes. “Tonight, you and me are finding a way out of here.”

“What?” he stared at her blankly.

She punched his arm. “I hear there are all kinds of secret passages around!”

Zuko pressed himself into the sofa cushions, away from her, his eyes darting over the room miserably before he nodded. She was going to be his friend whether he liked it or not.

"Oh Come On, Of Course Zuko’s a HufflePuff" BUT OF COURSE! <3

I also like the background for Zuko in this AU - born in Azkaban! Creepy!

Also... Toph? For a moment, I thought "Ty Lee", but then I saw the bit about the eyes. I have to wonder, though, why Toph didn't end up in Slytherin? Or does she have no ambition because she's ALREADY badass and therefore doesn't have much to aspire to? ;)

Re: Oh Come On, Of Course Zuko’s a HufflePuff

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Zuko never gives up. Obviously he's a Hufflepuff of awesome!

Badger-moles. Hufflepuff's animal is a badger, and I just couldn't put her anywhere else.

Oh, oh, I love this so much it kills me. *falls to the ground dead, comes back to life and retakes her seat* Wonderful story. Your imagination astounds me. I would kill, literally kill for more of this *bows down to master and awaits instructions* :-P

*sighs to self* I may need to convince this AU to give me a plot.

[identity profile] water-soter.livejournal.com 2011-01-10 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It happens. Sometimes ideas come, and sometimes they don't. I do love this idea, but you have so many that any of them would be worth the wait!

Re: Oh Come On, Of Course Zuko’s a HufflePuff

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-01-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I have ideas for this, just none that involve actual plot, lol. For example, I will eventually write the drabble about how Zuko's a hard core theater geek in this verse.
