Birthday AU Commentfic Meme!

[attackfish]

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.

Oooh! Thank you, Attack!

AUs, AUs...

1. D&D fantasy fusion- I so very much need to see Toph as a dwarf.

Will come up with more AU's later, but thank you so much!

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

2. Superhero AU- less elaborate X-men fusion and more four-color caped-and-masked supers leaping between buildings. Aqua-Girl and Boomerang-Lad, fighting crime!

3. ...Cameron!Avatar crossover? Young Aang goes off to find his life-long animal companion, and comes back with a surprise!

Dwarf!Toph

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Aw man, I haven’t even looked at a D&D book since I was nine! So you’re getting some half-remembered Dragnlance stuff instead. None of the things you’ve prompted me with are my fandoms, I mean, woe is me.




Hey Sweetness, you’re like precious metal, if you wanna come down to my forge, I could go at you with hammer and tongs all night long."

The elf princess put her head in her hands and pushed herself away from the dwarf girl.

Sokka glared at the dwarf. “You don’t even have a “hammer and tongs”.

Toph grinned. “Wanna bet?”

Sokka turned green, which Toph thought could really help him, what with the forest living and all. “I didn’t need to know that.”

“In fact, your sister here, touched them.”

“DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT!”

“When she was stealing my new war helm.” Toph folded her stubby arms. “She molested my forge! Give it back, Sugarqueen, or I swear by the gods, I’ll-”

The war helm hit her in the head.

Hee! So cute!

Re: Dwarf!Toph

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Now all I can think about is Elf Princess!Katara/Dwarf Smith!Toph. *shakes fist at you*

You won't be getting any more commentfics out of me until you post more prompts. Really, I don't know enough to even touch the other two requests.

fail!Incubus Zuko

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Okay, this turned out way more depressing than it was supposed to. Failfish. D:




Zuko hated humans. He hated tricky humans, with collars, and spells, who caught him when his guard was down, and made him come when he was called. Zuko hated them, he hated them, he hated them...

And when this was all over, there was a certain summoning admiral who was going to die slowly and-

“Get your hands off me!”

The Water Tribe boy snatched his hands back, squinting at Zuko. “Wait,” he said suspiciously. “I thought you were trying to seduce me.

Zuko made an indistinct sound in the back of his throat. “I mean...”

He didn’t know what he meant. He hunched in on himself and gazed at the spiritless body of the Avatar, and then back at the girl sucking on his neck and drawing hearts on his shoulder blades. He could feel her need, and her desperation, and the way his magic fogged her mind a little more with every touch. He shook his head.

“Your hair!” She poked it, making it swing. “It’s like a little handle!”

And the Water Tribe boy, her brother, Spirits, he was going to kill Zhao, somehow, was coming back to himself more and more every second he didn’t touch Zuko, and...

Zuko didn’t want him to touch him. He didn’t want either of them to touch him.

Zuko grabbed his hand and pulled him down. He pressed his lips to the other boy and wrapped his arms around him until the Water Tribe boy’s eyes dilated, and his smile grew silly and blissful.

The soldiers came and carried the Avatar away. By the time he woke up, he would already be in chains.

The admiral was probably going to send Zuko back to the Spirit world without anything, too. Like he did last time. And the time before. And the time before that.

Zuko wanted to kill him, to carve all his skin off in one strip, and watch his innards fall out, and then go home.

He wanted to go home, instead of the cold, empty, little Spirit World cage Zhao had built for him.

And Zuko wanted so bad not to have to come when called.

Re: fail!Incubus Zuko

[beboots.livejournal.com]

Daaamn... Angst. ;_; This fail!Inubus Zuko has a quite sad life. I certainly hope that the future is better for him - at least a future in which he isn't Zhao's spiritual sex slave. D:

(I feel bad that I enjoyed reading this. >_> )

Re: fail!Incubus Zuko

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Why can't I write nice, happy things like a normal person? If it's any help, Zhao dies.

Re: fail!Incubus Zuko

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

Question- familiar with Pirates of the Caribbean?

Re: fail!Incubus Zuko

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, though I''m starting to wonder what it is with A:TLA fandom and fusions. Never met one in the HP fandom.

[gamiel.livejournal.com]

something that would be funnier would probably be if an Avatar/D&D fusion had the characters/nations as wrong races - Fire nation as halflings, Air nomads as orcs, Earth kingdom as elves (Toph as an high elf) and Water tribe as dwarfs.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

*giggles at the picture of Toph the elf*

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

Lessee...

3. Ozai impresses Azulon- the world trembles.

4. Yue survives when she gives back the moon-spirit's life- soot-stained snow.

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

5. If I may borrow someone else's AU- Life Spirit- It's always winter when he goes... (will link to song as soon as it will show up on grooveshark)

Life Spirit: Winter When He Goes

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Katara left her Gran Gran’s tent when the moon rose, pulling the sleeves of her parka low over her hands. Hama stood on top of the low ice wall around the camp, sending icicle after icicle at a leather target, waiting for her student, and Katara swallowed. Gran Gran told her stories about how when she came to the South Pole, there had been tons of students, and tons of waterbenders to teach them. Katara wished that was still the way things were. She hated being Hama’s last hope.

She shuffled her way up the steps to the top of the wall. Hama folded her arms and let the icicles she had thrown into the target melt. “Why do you insist on climbing the stairs?” she grumbled at her student. “Boost yourself up on the ice like a proper bender.”

Katara climbed the rest of the way up the steps. She couldn’t wait for winter.

Winter was supposed to be the worst time of the year, when there was no sun, and the winds howled around, and no one could leave their tents long enough to hunt, or learn to bend, but winter was when their dad was home.

He had to go farther and farther away from the tribe every year to find food, and it took longer for him to come home. Someday, he might not come home at all.

And then winter would be the worst time of year.

Except even then, at least she wouldn’t have to deal with Hama.

Re: Life Spirit: Winter When He Goes

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

Poor Katara- being a bender was such a source of pride for her, even if it was hard work. An unpleasant teacher can really suck the joy out of things.

Re: Life Spirit: Winter When He Goes

[beboots.livejournal.com]

Ooh... I really liked this! I mean, I feel bad for Katara, but I find this whole situation quite interesting... I have to wonder what Katara's bending would have turned out to be like if Hama had been her teacher for her entire life. Much darker, I presume, and more violent. D:

Well done!

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

Forgive my lateness- hm, last two prompts.

Yue, banished princess, encounters sun-touched Prince Zuko? "I have to do this."

Kyoshi warrior!Ozai. I don't care how you do it, or why, just get him into that uniform.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Kyoshi Warrior Ozai? *gigglesnort*

Don’t even ask- I don’t even- What is wrong with you, woman? (Kyoshi Warrior Ozai)

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

“Oh, spirits,” Sokka squeaked.

Zuko stared, eyes wide and horrified. “How did he get out-”

“Why is he...” Suki turned her head, until she was looking at him completely sideways, but it still didn’t make sense.

Zuko shuddered. “We need to get Aang.”

“Oh spirits,” Sokka repeated.

“Uh, guys,” Toph tapped her foot against the dojo’s wooden floor. “What are we looking at?”

Hee. My apologies, love. Sometimes the shiny gets the better of me.

Banished Princess, Sun-Touched Prince: Universe Notes

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Is this going to be one of those universes that tries to take over my brain and make me write a novel? Oh yes, it is? Good to know. The universe title makes it sound like a bad romance novel.

A little bit about the Universe before I start... In this Universe, Ursa doesn’t come into Zuko’s room in time to hear Azula telling Zuko that Ozai’s going to kill him. Instead, Ozai, enraged that his father plans to give Zuko to Iroh in place of Lu Ten, forcing Ozai to fall behind his own son in the succession, tries to kill his son, and Ursa walks in on that. Ursa forces Ozai off their son and kills him, but Zuko’s mortally wounded. Returning home to find his brother dead, and his nephew lingering near death, Iroh snatches Zuko off his deathbed and slips away of the Fire Navy’s fastest ship to the Sun Warriors’ temple to bathe his nephew in the sacred eternal flames. Agni intervenes on Zuko’s behalf, and Zuko’s hair turns yellow-gold like sunlight, his eyes open, and he demands to know what’s going on. Because he’s Zuko. Agni leaves one trace of the attack on Zuko, a certain burn scar over his left eye. Meanwhile, Azulon has died from the shock of it all, and for a few months, everyone thought Azula was going to get the throne with Ursa as regent, so you can imagine just what she’s feeling when his royal tea-loving cookiness shows up with her suddenly perfectly healthy, if disturbingly blond, brother.

Iroh takes the throne, and immediately ends the war and starts disarmament. But as soon as the colonies are emptied, the ships are sunk, the tanks melted down, and the factories destroyed, the Earth Kingdom Army and the Northern Water Tribe mobilize to get their revenge for nearly a century of war and devastation. As her uncle tries to fight a losing war against two nations, Azula schemes to take the throne herself.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Water Tribe, Yue never was sick as a child. When her father lets her sit in on a war meeting, she’s stunned to hear her father wants to join the Earth Kingdom and send warriors out to attack the Fire Nation instead of maintaining the isolation that protected them during the first war, too stunned to remember her princessly decorum. Furious, Arnook betroths her at thirteen to one of the great warriors of the tribe, Pakku, hoping he’ll keep her in line. Pakku, sulking at being saddled with a child intended, helps Yue run away like Kanna did. Upon learning of this, Arnook exiles Pakku, and for good measure retroactively exiles his daughter. The two of them meet up, and fearful for the little girl he watched grow up, Pakku stays with her and eventually starts to teach her to waterbend. This is the world into which Aang wakes.

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

Re: Banished Princess, Sun-Touched Prince: Universe Notes

[beboots.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I love this idea. :D It has mamabear!Ursa, which I love, and protective!Iroh (and Fire Lord Iroh, for that matter)... "and for a few months, everyone thought Azula was going to get the throne with Ursa as regent, so you can imagine just what she’s feeling when his royal tea-loving cookiness shows up with her suddenly perfectly healthy, if disturbingly blond, brother." XD Man, though, wouldn't that be a hilarible (hilarious and terrible) combination - Fire Lord Azula (at like, age eight) with Ursa as regent?

I also love the idea of Pakku going "hell no I won't be party to this!" and helping Yue. Also, Pakku and Yue in a parallel of Iroh and Zuko. AWESOME.
