So I just finished writing something so impossibly sweet that I swear all my teeth just rotted in my head from it.  And since I have to write floranna's fic for [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti  (and her request is full of lovely angst) I need to get myself in a darker writing groove.  To further this goal, I’m watching Criminal Minds, and I’m asking you guys to send me your darkest, most angst producing prompts for Avatar: The Last Airbender.  Comment with up to five, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic.  I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.  [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet  and [livejournal.com profile] floranna  get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because I spawned a wild AU in [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet ’s head, that she has been writing delightfully twisted installments for, and because I delayed writing [livejournal.com profile] floranna’s promised fic to work on my novel.

Please no rape or sexually explicit requests.  I’m a big believer that there needs to be more gen darkfic in fandom.

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] avocado_love .


Meme Closed and Finished

Despite the fact that I asked for no requests involving rape or sexually explicit requests, my brain decided to take me there all on its own in two instances.  I've done my best to warn as accurately as I can in both in a way that the warnings themselves are non-triggery.  I'd also like to put up a blanket warning for violence.

Fics:

for [livejournal.com profile] floranna[livejournal.com profile] help_haiti :
Azula's lightning strike on Zuko has some far more serious consequences

Jet’s eyes widened on the other side of the station. The hook swords flew th his hands and he crashed through the crowd, world narrowing to that gentle, sinister whisp of steam rising off the tea cup in the old man’s hand.

The cup tumbled to the floor.

“What are you doing firebending your tea?” the boy who had called himself Lee hissed, looming over his uncle. “For a wise old man, that was a pretty stupid move!”

The old man gazed miserably at the puddle of steaming tea on the station floor. I know you’re not supposed to cry over spilled tea, but-”

The edged hand guard slammed into the pillar around the old man’s throat. “They’re firebenders!” he shouted to the station.

Heads turned all around them. The old man’s legs smashed into his stomach and under his ribs. Snarling, Lee slammed his open hand into Jet’s throat as he staggered back. Before he could breathe again, they had disappeared.

~*~

From behind one of the pillars, Zuko and Iroh listened, waiting. Jet leapt onto the base of a pillar across the station from their hiding place. “I know they’re firebenders!” He shouted to the crowd. “I saw the old man heating his tea!”

Zuko jabbed his elbow into his uncle’s ribs.

“And then the kid actually said that he had been firebending, I heard him!”

Iroh stuck his tongue out at his nephew.

Jet drove his fist into the air. “After we’ve travelled all this way, are we going to take this, the last safe place? Are we going to let them take Ba Sing Se too?”

The crowd roared. Zuko and his uncle exchanged a desperate look and made a break for it.

~*~

Their feet pounded the sand until Iroh slumped to the ground, unable to run any more. “So?” his nephew snapped, panting. “What now?”

“I hear Whale Tail Island is beautiful this time of year,” he replied querulously.

Zuko put his head in his hands. “Oh Agni, why.”

YES

And Toph's "love taps" totally look like she's utterly destroying Zuko, and the Gaang suspect like nothing until she gives him a hug or something and it slowly dawns on them that beating the crap out of people with Earthbending is how Toph shows affection, which doesn't bode well for Aang learning from her... D:
From: [identity profile] beboots.livejournal.com
Well, I'm going to be cynical and say that Bumi won't be competition for much longer - he's Toph's only serious competition, and, well, he's old as dirt. *rimshot* He's gotta go sometime, and then Toph has an uncontested title. :P In short: Bumi, but not for very long!
From: [identity profile] beboots.livejournal.com
Yep, I love how it was, in the end, Zuko's reaction to his uncle's firebending that gave them away. XD Awesome.

Also, threat of lynching? Very believable, especially amongst a group of desperate refugees like there would be in that situation. Nicely done!
From: [identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com
Zuko: She must love me, I have bruises in unusual locations.
Aang: *whimper*
Toph: Good morning earthbending student!
From: [identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com
This Jet? Not arrested by the Dai Li and grows up to be the head of organized crime in Ba Sing Se when he's very old and much wiser. This Zuko and Iroh? Meet up with the gaang when the gaang goes to Whale Tail Island, chasing after Appa. This Zuko? even more convinced the spirits get their kicks taunting him.

I always thought that Iroh and Zuko were incredibly lucky no one else saw the tea. They're surrounded by frightened desperate people, and they're the enemy. Not a safe situation.

Heh, couldn't resist the two of them giving each other a silent hard time about how Jet found out.
From: [identity profile] weirdlet.livejournal.com
I agree with those before me- I really like this! Very sharp and intriguing toward the end.
From: [identity profile] beboots.livejournal.com
A meeting on Whale Tale island? HILARIOUS. That takes some coincidence!

Yep, I definitely think that Iroh and Zuko give each other a hard time ALL the time. ;)
From: [identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com
Zuko: This is unbelievable! You can't tell me the Spirits don't hate me now, Uncle!
Iroh: They don't hate you, nephew, they just love you in all the wrong ways.
From: [identity profile] avocado-love.livejournal.com
Um, wow. I adore this and would LOVE to see it extended. Geez.
From: [identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com
*waves hands frantically* nono, please don't give the fic ideas.
From: [identity profile] avocado-love.livejournal.com
*Happily tempts*

Just think: Zuko could declare himself Prince of the Fire Nation with no one else saying otherwise! :D

And then he'd have to deal with the guilt of never regaining his honor in the eyes of his father, and maybe some lingering guilt about Azula (she was his sister, after all) and Mai... Ty Lee is probably safe. She's in the circus.

Gosh, all that would be left is mostly Earth Kingdom people with a smattering of WT. What an empty planet.
From: [identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com
Oh you cruel cruel thing! I finally surrendered to that other meme fic, and now you're stirring up rebellion again?

Zuko's too busy having the human equivalent of a blue screen of death to declare himself prince of anything. Whaaaah! His sister and father (who he's sure love him deep down) are dead!

But Ty Lee's in the circus on the Fire Nation home islands!

Very empty. Zuko and Aang need to build hareems and breed like panda-rabits. Mind, I think more than half the world population was Earth Kingdom before even Sozin started.
