- @imperceivablysexy

STRAP IN FOLKS ITS FIC REC TIME!

(Since u didn’t mention pairings I’m going to list my fave gen fics, but lmk if you also want zukka fic recs bc boy we do have that)

- something about grace by toribird 8k words of Toph and Zuko being siblings and gremlins, their dynamic in this fic is just so amazing and the balance between feels and chaos is top notch, I adore it.

- The beginning of a new and brighter birth by aloneintherain 15k words, rated T THEE post canon Zuko-centric fic. this is IT. 200% Official Canon in my heart. (I also highly recommend lessons in tea making by the same author)

- Two drama queens loose on a shirshu by mindbending a June adopts Zuko au. i am OBSESSED with this series you don't understand. The humor that it has, the worldbuilding that it has, the found family that it has, the Chit Sang that it has.

- On top of the world by mindbending 10k words, rated T "after the Boiling Rock debacle, Azula gets what she didn't quite wish for and wakes up as an airbender."

- Kintsugi by discordsamba This one is also a serie and every installment is pure gold. Instead of going in search of the Avatar, Zuko washes up on the shores of the Earth Kindgdom, and through a series of more or less fortunate events becomes Toph's bodyguard (and bff.)

- Call it dreaming by ciaconnaa 4k words, rated G Toph navigating her trauma after winning the war. Tons of comfort and hand holding.

-What’s in a name also by ciaconnaa 2k words, rated G “At her request, Sokka teaches Toph to write her name. He learns a thing or two about the weight his own name holds in the process.”

- Heirloom by jublis another series. It's been a while since I read this one but it has a wonderful grasp of all the characters and their feelings during and after the war just. chef kiss.

- end-of-the-world beach vacay by howlikeagod a series of fics that expands on the time the Gaang spent on Ember Island. feels and shenanigans and found family literally what more do u need.

- I am through finding blame by sokkaesque 6k words, rated T I read this the other day and I have not stopped thinking about it since, it’s deep and bittersweet and it ripped my heart out. Sokka beloved on god we’re going to get you some therapy.

-reclutant volcanology by HisMomoness 5k words, rated G ok I found this one literally today but it has immediately become one of my faves. Suki & Toph’s life changing field trip and heart to heart as they climb up a volcano to get zuko, who went up there to brood. (also recommending immersive pedagogy by the same author, about sokka teaching toph how to swim)

This is just a small part of the wonderful fics that are out there so if someone feels like adding more pls do so!

In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

—Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

SPIRITED AWAY (2001)

“...uncle Aang and I met the most beautiful dragons” bedtime stories for Izumi ✨

bonus:

(click for better quality + image id under the cut!)

[ID: Two digital drawings of Sokka, Zuko and Izumi. Sokka and zuko are drawn as adults, while Izumi is a child.

In the first colored drawing Sokka is sitting cross legged on a bed, holding Izumi on his lap. He’s wearing loose comfortable clothes: blue pants and a sleeveless red tunic with dark blue water tribe patterns. His hair are down and have little blue beads in them, and he has a dark blue tattoo around his bicep. Next to him there is a big Appa plushie. Izumi is wearing a pink shirt with light blue water tribe patterns and maroon pants, and has a blue ribbon in her hair. She’s smiling excitedly and reaching towards Zuko with an outstretched hand. In front of them Zuko is kneeling and firebending two dragons of rainbow fire that curl around him in a circle. Zuko is speaking, telling a story to Izumi. His long hair are left down and he’s wearing maroon pants and a red sleeveless tunic with golden embroidery tied at the waist with a blue sash, he has a blue bethrotal necklace around his neck. The background is a light pink color block. The second drawing is in black lineart. Zuko, Sokka and Izumi are drawn from the waist up wearing southern water tribe clothing trimmed with fur. Zuko is holding Izumi, who is laughing, while he looks back at Sokka with an annoyed expression. Behind him Sokka is looking at Zuko with a wide mischievous grin, he has his fist on his open palm, as if to mimic something getting hit. Sokka is saying to Izumi “And then my boomerang whacked that stupid ponytail right off his head” while Zuko is replying “that’s not what happened! And it was a phoenix tail. Why am I still talking to you.” /END ID]

Maiko week day 4: Pride

@idonthatemaiko

Did an edit because I think they look gorgeous on the comic art style.

It's not related to todays prompt sorry 😶

dumb atla fanfic idea: 13 y.o. zuko accidentally drinks alcohol before the agni kai and beats ozai—

.

“I always intended for Azula to have a redemption arc in the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Longer and far more complicated than Zuko’s. She had not bottomed out in the end of season three, she had further to go. At the deepest moment in her own abyss, she would have found: Zuko. 

“Despite it all, her brother Zuko would be there for her. Believing in her, sticking by her, doing his best to understand and help her hold her pain that she can no longer hold alone. Zuko – patient, forgiving, and unconditionally loving – all strengths he gained from Uncle Iroh. 

“That’s how she would have gotten out, and changed. With the faith and love of someone she had hurt, but who stuck by her anyway. Just as he had been saved by faith and love from someone he had hurt, who stuck by him. 

“And I always imagined that after coming out the other side, she would be one of those people who hilariously over-shares her own feelings all the time, and that she would be a bit over-apologetic. Like a Canadian version of Azula.” 

– Aaron Ehasz, head writer and co-executive producer of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

Wtf fruity little sun/moon royals on a life changing field trip

(listen @fruitysokka said what if yue lived and she was gay and I could not rest until I drew her & zuko getting a field trip about self acceptance and understanding that sometimes putting yourself and your loved ones before duty is actually Fine and Good)

bonus brown haired yue because I like the hc that her hair return dark once she gives her blessing back to the moon spirit

Image id under the cut!

In the first drawing Yue is looking down, teary eyed and with a sad expression. She’s saying “I was ready to give my life back to the moon spirit”. Zuko is standing at her right and looking at her.

In the second drawing Yue and Zuko are drawn back to back. Yue is smiling and turning her head to look at Zuko, she is saying “and then he fell right into the river!”. Zuko is drawn by profile, he has his eyes closed and is laughing at what Yue is saying.

The third image is exactly like the first two, but instead of being white Yue’s hair are dark brown. END ID]

the first fanart I’ve done in a Very long time is for @hella1975 ‘s amazing fic “The Art Of Burning”, which I definitely recommend reading! You’ll find this particular scene in Chapter 31!
