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.

I apologize for inflicting the universe on you, but damn if this doesn't sound like fun^^

Sadist. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that I need another great big AU verse like I need a cyanide pill. Anybody you know willing to take it off my hands?

It does, doesn't it? That's the problem, lol.

BTW, you know avocado_love, beckyh1221, spyridona, and a few other people's "Fire Avatar Ozai" AU? Well I'm sure Ozai goes to Kyoshi Island in that...

I may play around with drawing some stuff- Yue living is one of those 'wouldn't it be great if someone did something with it?' ideas that I just love to nom. I like to see if people can build off of what we were initially presented with, the image of 'dutiful moon-touched princess'.

That may very well be where I picked up the brainwaves for this, now that I think about it. It's not a visit to Kyoshi Island if someone doesn't end up cross-dressing.

Or perhaps there's a fine tradition of amateur theater in the army/navy officer's academy- "'In and out of petticoats all the time,'" to quote Monstrous Regiment.

I've spent most of my brain power on Yue figuring out what her life as a moon spirit is like, and how she adjusts to it. I don't write her as human that often, which is a shame.

The worst thing is, my brain keeps trying to convince me that the perfect format for this universe is the graphic novel. cannot draw well enough for that. Speaking of which, need to draw Yue from this verse, black haired and riding a wave. Fierce, tough Yue. She's way more sweet and pliant than Zuko, but Pakku's way more crotchety than Iroh, so it evens out.

The real reason Zuko hates music night. It always devolves into theater night, and since he's the youngest, he gets stuck playing the girls. And everybody makes fun of him, because he's Zuko, and he can't act.

Yes, that's totally it. Zuko was devastated when the next-youngest cabin boy on the ship started growing a beard.

Maybe try scripting out bits? Mixes of prose and comicy bits have been fun for me in the past.

He refused to take the hint that for two years in a row, Zuko bought him razors for winter solstice gifts.

I may have to do that. Maybe someday find someone who can draw it... Or learn to draw...

I find myself thinking they need some large and fluffy mammal following them around. A dog at least.

And it should be peeing against Pakku's leg.

AWESOME!

*squees loud enough to bring the roof down, and then tries to figure out how to get Zuko with his mid to late season two haircut as I keep picturing him, in this verse. Poor kid can't win for losing with his hair*

Pakku looks like he's going to smack someone with a waterwhip if the shenanigans don't cease soon, and Zuko's not too sure about this whole thing. And Yue? Yue feels stoic today... I love it.

You know, I actually have a half Akita? She's half Chow chow, not half pony, but... This one wants to know why these people would want to put him on a boat? *whimper*

But- but there's meat-scraps... but the land is level and steady... but- but there's meat scraps...

Hm- maybe all that blond hair is embarrassing- especially if you're trying to hide amongst the commoners. So off with the lot, and maybe walnut juice to dye the stubble. I doubt anyone's going to sacrifice him to remove the sun- which is rather a more obviously necessary thing than the moon- but there's probably factions lining up to use him one way or another.

I don't want to mess with the design against your whim, but my image is starting to be black hair, but with his scarred eye a blank gold.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I was in the middle of finishing and posting my [livejournal.com profile] help_pakistan fic, and it took way longer than I thought.

Lol, and thus my reasons for Zuko not dying his hair in "Ice Flows Through" go out the window. Or he could be emo boy and wear the hood again. *starts thinking about how I can restructure this into a trilogy of novel length fics with maybe some illustration, shut up mind* That would definitely be in book two.

But the blond hair is so much harder to hide, and that makes me sadistically happy. And it makes him a much more noticeable symbol.
