The Avatar_500 Participation Meme

[attackfish]

We're just over a day away from the deadline at avatar_500 for prompt 49, Lake, and we have only one entry.  So, to prove that I am not above using bribery, for anybody who writes and posts a fill for this round to the community before the deadline (Saturday, April 7, 10:00 PM, MDT), I will drabble up an answer to any one Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra prompt they give me here at this post.  This includes all of my existing AUs (excepting Ice Flows Through) as well as unrelated prompts.  Or, I will make a 400x600 pixel banner for any Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra fanfic (excepting  NC-17) written by the requester that they ask me to.  (Please provide a link).  Furthermore, after the deadline, I will do the same thing for anybody who writes and posts to the community a fill for the next biweekly prompt, Return.  And yes, that means if you post a fic for each, you get two requests.

A few rules-

No Ty Zula
No NC-17
No incest
No ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
No rape

Information on posting can be found here.

I'm not asking for much, just 100 to 500 words.  Good luck.

If you're willing to do a certain character - Piandao, fanfare.

Of course! sentence long requests are also accepted. *gets started writing*

Piandao - Fanfare

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

The great swordmaster Piandao took a few days leave from the Fire Nation army, and just... never returned. that was it, no great escape, no speeches, he just walked away. Oh, he defeated the hundred men they sent after him, but that isn't the important part. The important part was that he walked away, quietly, simply, and without notice, someone left.

He remembers that moment, hanging on the edge, bowing, and just walking out the door. He remembers the days of leave, and how he stood his ground and let them pass, until they were gone and he was still on his island. He remembered the way he kept having to make the choice to stay, over and over and over, and he did. Those are the parts he remembers, because walking away was harder than it looked.

Other people remember the hundred men who couldn't drag him back. Piandao remembers that part too, because it was so much easier than it looked.

He paints these days, and writes, and makes swords, and keeps his little pocket of peace, and hopes it makes some kind of example after the war ends, because peace is exactly as hard as it looks.

Thank you, you're welcome, I never get that part right.

I'm thinking I might have to extend the round anyway.

Since you're extending it, then I can't post the fic for 'Return' yet, can I?

*looks at number of stories up, does happy dance* four is pretty darn good! I don't think we need an extension after all!
