Kindle the Wind (The Avatar! Zuko 'verse) commentfic meme

[attackfish]

That's it, folks, I can't take it.  In the hopes that maybe writing some of what I want to write will get me unblocked on the fic I'm trying to write, I'm giving in and running a commentfic meme for my Avatar!Zuko verse.  Comment with up to five requests, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic.  I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.  weirdlet , fanficforensics, beboots, and floranna  get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because beboots  and floranna  are the best betas ever, and weirdlet and fanficforensics just because.


Also, the 'verse has a title now, Kindle the Wind!


Air, Water, Earth, Fire.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A hundred years passed and the new Avatar crashed into the ice sheet that borders our village. Although he is the Fire Nation prince, and it's his family and his nation that have brought this war to the world, I have hope that inside Zuko lies the spark of greatness. In the end, he has to save the world.

1. The time Ty Lee revealed she was an airbender to Zuko.
2. Kori as Zuko's (first?) earthbending teacher, and their connection as unlikely patriots.
3. The time Zuko watched Master Pakku beat Uncle in a duel, fair and square.
4. The first time Zuko struck a Fire Nation solider in anger.
5. Korra as the waterbending sifu to Zuko's successor Nu Nomad Avatar.

1) The first time Zuko knew he was the Avatar.
2) The Avatar always has a spirit animal, right?
3) I'm a sucker for waterbending!Zuko. Feed my addition! :D

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

What a lovely thing to come home to!

1) Meeting Sokka and Katara
2) Zhao trying to turn this to his advantage
3) The Avatar wants nothing to do with the White Lotus

More later!

1. Learning earth-bending.
2. meeting with Jet
3. The joys of new bending.

And I'll give the rest a bit later. ^^

Yay! Trying to think of a title.

1. Zuko tells Uncle
2. Agni Kai against Zhao
3. Does Roku tell Zuko about the comet?
4. What happens when one accidentally airbends while playing the tsungi horn
5. Avatar Zuko emprisoned at Pohuai Stronghold
6. Gran-Gran criticizing Uncle's parenting skills
7. How does Zuko's crew react when they find out their commander is the nation's number one enemy, pretty much?

[luunyscarlet.livejournal.com]

1. Zuko learning waterbending
2. Meeting Toph
3. Azula having to be nice to her Avatar brother.
4. How did Zuko's heel-face turn happen here?

I'll think about no 5 later.

Yay! Couple of questions (if I'm allowed):

Out of curiosity, Zuko doesn't seem to be learning the elements in order. Is it reversed, or is he learning them out of order through a lack of available teachers? Also, do people outside of the crew, Ozai, etc. know they have a Fire Nation Avatar?

1. Zuko fails at polite requests. Fortunately, Katara cares more about finding a waterbending master.

2. Sokka figures out Zuko is a master of dual swords.

3. The Winter Solstice: how does Zuko deal with spirit monsters?

4. Assuming Zhao is given orders to escort the Avatar home: how does he handle it?

5. Azula's reaction when she finds out her brother is the Avatar.

1) Korra decided to teach her student one of the most important life lesson, the magic of drinking.
2) Toph wants a life changing field trip with the Avatar, and darn it, she's going to get one.
3) Zuko and the ocean spirit.
4) Azula finally clues in that Ty Lee is an airbender.
5) The final battle. Father and son meet under a blood red sky.

1) Fire - Zuko and lighting, success or failure
2) Air - The second time Ty Lee revealed she was an Airbender to Zuko, after the first didn't take. (Silly Ty Lee, Zuko does not get subtle hints.)
3) Water - The blue spirit. Whoever said there was only one?
4) Earth - If Toph ever got scared, she would find it scary how good the Fire prince is with Earth.
5) Spirit - The first time Zuko went into the Avatar State.

1. Zuko speaking with Aang's spirit (a la Aang and Roku in the canon)
2. The caverns beneath Ba Sing Se
3. The Day of the Black Sun
4. Fire Island
5. The Ember Island Players

Feel free to interpret these as loosely as you like!

1. Zuko finally gets that letter from Ozai.
2. The crew notices that the Water Tribe prisoners don't seem to be trying very hard to escape.
3. Zuko learns airbending. Somehow.
4. Does "The Storm" still happen, and if so, how?

If you're still taking requests for this, I have one:

Zuko learns of Roku's history with Sozin and his own non-Avatar-y connection to Roku.

[meganinhiding.livejournal.com]

Let's see....

Zuko interacting with the Korra cast; particularly Korra, Lin or Tarrlok and their POVs on him.

Zuko contrasts and compares Tarrlok and Noatok with himself and Azula.

After the war Zuko, among many other things, works on discrediting a hundred years of propaganda and bringing out the truth about the war. Easier said than done.

Something with past avatars. Talking about the New Nomads with Aang, Yangchen and perhaps other Air Avatars or maybe the first time Baoshi talks to her successor without fear.

Is this still running?

1. The Northern Air Temple-- do they visit it in this verse?
2. What will Ozai try to get Zuko back?
3. The Northern Water Tribe. Do they go? What happens? What about Tui and La?
4. What about Toph?
5. Ba Sing Se? Do they go?

[(Anonymous)]

If it's still open, I have a few that I'm curious about.

1. Anything with Jet's response to a Fire Nation royal being the Avatar

2. Anything specific from Equalist era

3. (First time?) Zuko goes into the Avatar State w/responses from anyone there

(In case you hadn't guessed yet, I love reactions and this kind of AU produces some of the best)
