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.

“How does ‘Aang’s grandfather’s going to be out of town for the weekend, and he’s feeling a little lonely’ equal ‘Let’s go to Aang’s place and throw a huge party, with alcohol?’” Katara demanded, glowering at the snack table her brother had set up, and the one unfortunate guest who had shown up.

“How does it not mean that?” Sokka squawked.

“I dunno, but it’s a good thing no one showed up,” Toph said from the couch, feet in the air.

Katara looked at her, surprised. “Thank you, Toph!”

“Because Sokka didn’t manage to score nearly enough beer.”

Katara rolled her eyes.

“I must be really unpopular if I can’t even get anybody to come over to my house for free beer,” Aang muttered despondently.

Giving Sokka one last dirty look, Katara sat down next to her friend and put her arm around his shoulder. “That’s not true, Aang, You’ve got us, right?”

The lone party guest, some kid named Zuko from Sokka’s pre-calculus class that they barely knew, glanced at the door, and then at Katara and Aang, and back at the door. “I’ll... Just go, now...”

“Oh no you don’t!” Sokka threw his arm around Zuko’s shoulder and pulled him back towards the living room. “I worked hard to get that twelve-pack and a bottle of vodka, and we’re not letting them go to waste!”

“Wha-”

“SLEEPOVER!”

Oh goodness, I think my favorite part is how Zuko is the lame kid who was the only one outside the group to show up to Aang's party. SO AWKWARD.

Also, AWESOME. \o/

They totally get drunk and BOND!

One little thing, "lame"is a word of ableist connotations (ableism is the belief that people with disabilities are less valuable than people without them, or that people with disabilities act a certain way or any number of the insidious sorts of predudice people with disabilities face). "Lame" in this use is a word that tries to equate physical disability with dweebishness. As a woman with disabilities, I'd appreciate if you didn't use it. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WEREN'T THINKING ABOUT IT'S MEANING IN CONJUNCTION WITH DISABILITY WHEN YOU WROTE IT. I just wanted you to know it's a hurtful word in this context.

I apologize for using hurtful language, though you're right, I wasn't intending to be insulting when I used it. In respect to the original meaning of the word "lame", though I was aware of the ableist connotations and original meaning of the word, the reason I didn't think of it was primarily due to the fact that I have never in my life referred to a disabled person as "lame". I do understand where you're coming from, however; I feel the same way about people using the word "gay" to mean something stupid. In retrospect, I should have been more considerate in my word choice.

...also, I was still kind of drunk when I replied. So there's also that. ;P

For a while (as anyone who has read my earlier fanfic knows) "lame" was my go-to word for clumsy phrases and dweebishness. I've left it mostly intact for archival reasons, but someday, I'm going to go back and edit it out.

Re: Gay as a pejorative, anyone unfortunate enough to use it around me gets a free lecture about respect, heteronormativity, and bully culture from a weird, tiny college student.

They totally get drunk and BOND!

By which I mean with Zuko. Zuko joins the gang after this!

By the wayk I thought I should remind you that you have two request slots open, in case you want to use them.

oh HEY you're right. OKAY THEN:

4) Series!AU: Toph is the one who wakes up Aang.

5) ModernDay!AU: Katara nominates Toph for homecoming queen as a joke. To everyone's surprise, she makes it into the top five and has to participate in all of the bullshit "Homecoming Week" activities. Toph is Not Pleased.
