Avatar: The Last Airbender Darkfic Comment Meme

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.

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:

To steal the phrase from floranna's post... Sokka's morally grey side. You know he has it. Lots of cannon evidence. In The Painted Lady, he speaks up pretty loudly about not helping the village. He blows up/knocks out of the sky several airships, each of which contain a huge crew, in the finale. When the Gaang is trying to practice and convince Aang that he has to kill the Firelord, it's Sokka who steps up and effortlessly beheads the dummy when Aang can't. Sokka never trusted Jet because Jet's darkness is just more obvious. Sokka and Zuko bringing out the darkness in each other would be EXTRA awesome.

*cough* I'm a big fan of Sokka, if you can't tell. XD

Instead of forgiving him, Yue's spirit haunts Sokka, subtly ruining his relationship with Suki and generally screwing him over.

Yue gifts Sokka with waterbending when she becomes the moon spirit. Sokka's angry and scared of himself because he doesn't trust bending and can't control it very well.

Suki's just as calmly insane as Azula is. She just hides it better.


...I could go on. And on. And on. Gen darkfic is SO under appreciated. And Criminal Minds is the best. Right after Avatar. XD

Why do so many fans think it needs sex to get really twisted? Gen darkfic rocks!


It was Ty Lee who noticed it first. Of course it was Ty Lee. She knew the signs. Her new leader always pressed just a little too hard when she sparred, always had to win just a little too much, always waited just a little too long to let go when her warriors tapped out.

Everything had to be just a little too perfect. Everybody had to be just a little too obedient. And now she was talking about taking the Kyoshi warriors south to Sokka to help him command the Southern Water Tribe.

Maybe it was time to run away to join the circus again.

She’d run farther this time.
