Avatar: The Last Airbender Darkfic Comment Meme

[attackfish]

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 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.  weirdlet  and floranna  get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because I spawned a wild AU in weirdlet ’s head, that she has been writing delightfully twisted installments for, and because I delayed writing 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:

Of course! Azula's hugs for Zuko are so full of sincere LOVE and CONCERN.

(I don't imagine that Azula is a very comfy hug - I mean, she's pretty angular, and would probably squeeze too tightly. Plus, armor = not good hugging outfit. Ty Lee, on the other hand, looks comfy. ;) )

Fair enough - don't write it if it's not in-character. D: Azula was crazy long before she went Crazula.

"Zuko fights crime, Kuei lets the prisoners loose because they promised to behave."
XD
Kuei: "But they PROMISED!"
Zuko: *facepalm*

She didn't look that angular out of her armor in "The Awakening" but methinks any hug from Azula without the armor would be creepywrong and drive Zuko to take a shower. Badtouch!

Ty Lee: Hi! *cling*
Zuko: Aieeee! Get it off!

Ty Lee: Hi! *cling*
Azula: Grrrrrr.

Ty Lee: Hi! *cling*
Mai: *patpat* Remember when we talked about people needing to breathe?

and of course after the war...

Ty Lee: Hi! *cling*
Aang: Ty Le! *clings back*

There's some Azula trying in her very clumsy, threatening, manipulative way to try to mother Zuko (or Sokka in Zuko's body, but she doesn't know that) in the later part of Avocado_love's In His Shoes (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4302297/1/In_His_Shoes)

Hmm, I think Zuko should dump Kuei on Bummi. Might make him learn something. And also it would be a riot, true. No, that's not my modivation, how could you say that?

Man, Aang and Ty Lee would be just an overload of cute. Their glee would FEED off of each other...

Oh yes, In His Shoes! <3

Confronting ANYBODY with King Bumi is hilarious. (Heck, dumping ZUKO on him would be hilarious.) Bumi is a funny guy. Badass, kind of crazy (in the good way) before he even became senile... I've always thought that Bumi and Toph would get along famously, but you don't see them really talk to each other in canon. And the world is worse off for it. ;_;

The rest make sure to keep them strictly separated, or else the world would end. In fluffy rainbows.

There's a set of canon comics from nick magazine http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii175/Eternal_Light55/Bumi%20Vs%20Toph%20Comic/ about Bumi and Toph challenging each other to an earthbending rumble in the Order of the White Lotus camp. Zuko and Katara basically send them to bed without dinner.

Ooh! I've been trying to find copies of the Nickelodeon comics for a while!! (Well, I obviously haven't been trying very hard, because I am an inherently lazy person, but thank you for the link regardless!)

Re: Further Continuation: The Gaang in Ba Sing Se

you're welcome! Who's the greatest earthbender in the world? Who?

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!
