Hey! Considering we won’t have Maiko October week this year, couldn’t you give us a consolation Maiko one shot?!?
I was really excited to read your maiko week entry.
Thank you! However, I have very rarely participated in the Fall Maiko Week, as my Octobers tend to be very busy.
However^2, it turns out that my next two weeks will be unexpectedly open, and I just had a separate windfall in real life that has me in the mood to celebrate, so I think a one-shot sounds like fun.
Let's solicit some prompts, shall we? To make it a bit more interesting, let's do either 1-word prompts (hyphens are allowed) or a line of dialogue. That will give me a nice mix of challenge and freedom. Feel free to reply to this post with prompt suggestions, or send them via Ask, and I'll pick one (and maybe more!) to spin into a one-shot.

Could you ever see Maikka settling down and having a family? (Personally I get the notion that Sokka would slowly lure Mai into domesticity one step at a time. One day she’s like “no I’m not giving birth to any smelly little monsters” and the next she and her husband are driving a minivan to soccer practice with 3-4 kids in the backseat, or the equivalent of that in the ATLA universe.)
Just asking because you write Sokka and Mai as well as anyone in the fandom and your fics with them are superb
Thank you very much! They're my two favorite characters to write, so it's gratifying to hear that I mix them well. I was having fun a lot more efficiently when I was writing them together. XD
Usually, when I pair them up, I cast Sokka as more of a nomad. He's driven to protect the people he loves by going all over the world trying to solve the dirtier and more dangerous problems for them. Of course, that suits Mai just fine, who if she's not lairing in the Fire Nation has no where else she's inclined to call home, and constant travels and dangers definitely keep her life exciting.
But we saw in LoK that the canon version of Sokka does indeed eventually allow himself to take on real leadership positions, and I very much like that even though I haven't given myself many opportunities to write about it. (Hm, perhaps I should finally finish that "Trapped" Maikka trilogy with "Trapped in Republic City"?) I see that as a natural extension of his work as a globe-trotting troubleshooter, only Republic City never runs out of trouble for him to shoot so he ends up staying and helping to run the place. A city that exciting would service Mai as well, and even when she's not helping to solve a crisis, I think Republic City itself offers enough pleasures and vices for her- or at least the version in my head does, as implied by most of the pre-release material.
And something I'd love to explore for Mai in particular is her physical decline. Yeah, it's fun being a teenager and 20-something able to throw knives with pin-point precision and get into massive martial arts brawls and jump off running lizard-horses and all that. But what does an adrenaline junkie like her do when her hands start to shake and her knees protest when she leaps off a building? I think Sokka would take getting older more naturally, because he's never particularly wanted to run around saving the world. As long as his expanded horizons and thirst for knowledge can be accommodated (and I think Republic City could do that), he'd be happy to stay in one place.
And Sokka is definitely someone who values family. It's the center of his world. So once he settles down, I very much think he'd want a family. I'm okay with LoK not showing that, but my headcanon is that he does indeed eventually have both a love-of-his-life and kids that he is very active in raising.
So yes, I think your read is very good. A Sokka who gets together with Mai would slowly acclimate her to the idea of a family, and I think once she's given the opportunity to experience a non-toxic version of that, she would eventually grow to love it. I'm not saying everyone who doesn't want a family should get one and will definitely grow to love it, but I think Mai really does want that type of thing, but her childhood taught her to do like she always does- try not to care and maybe put on a show of hostility to convince herself when necessary.
And I can totally see Sokka inventing the minivan for the express purpose of getting all his kids to soccer practice.
"What is that?!"
"I added an extension to a standard-body Cabbage-Mobile. Now we can fit all the kids at once without stacking them!"
"I am not being seen in that thing."
"What?! Why not! It's so efficient!"
"But it looks stupid."
"...all right, what if I remove the wood paneling and paint it a different color?"

Your fics have made me love Maikka so much. There’s so little of them out there and I’m hoping to find an arrange marriage fic. If not, I guess I’ll write it myself…?
Thank you! And if you or anyone writes such a thing, I'd absolutely love to read it.
The only Arranged Maikka fic I'm aware of is this, a short story written at my request. It's great, but I'd definitely be up for something a lot longer.
I've considered ideas for such a story, but nothing I've ever been able to get off the ground. I'm currently planning a short Arranged Marriage fic for a different Mai ship, so it's unlikely I'll get around to Arranged Maikka anytime soon.
But that doesn't mean people should be afraid to send me ideas or prompts for such a thing. You never know when inspiration will strike.

Index & About The Author
This is the side-blog of @loopy777, where I park my Avatar fanfiction.
Actually, I lie. My fanfic is really all on AO3 and FF.net, but if you're not subscribed to me there, then this is the next best thing. (Or as 'best' as Tumblr gets.) I also have a deviantArt account, but changes to that old thing have made it impossible to upload my stuff, so the three people who were still following things there are stuck with all the other (and better- yes, even Tumblr) options.
Another blog I run is @atla-lore-archive, a repository of the info and images from the old official AtLA website. The original website has been lost to Nickelodeon churn and the death of Adobe Flash, so it's pretty much the best resource for all that old lore. I don't know if it's "canon," but it's mostly good stuff, and I'm not sure the Avatar franchise has a "canon," anyway, or if the fandom is just assuming there's one because it's a fun thing to argue about.
I'm also an admin on @atlafans, which reblogs fanart, fanfic, other fan creations, discussion, and whatever else we think AtLA (and Korra) fans would like. Feel free to submit something there if we've missed it!
But you're probably not here for all that stuff. I bet you just want links to my stories. Well, here you go:
Traitor's Face
The Avatar & The Fire Princess (Azulaang)
Retroactive
Stainless Steel Sleuth (Maiko 1930s Noir AU)
These Maiko Comedy-Dramas Theoretically Share a Continuity But Most Readers Never Realize It:
Black & Blue
Flowers For Mai
Making It Legal
Multi-Chapter Maiko Comedy-Drama One-Shots:
The Other One
For Better & For Worse
Samsara
Death of a Thousand Cuts
Throw Her Overboard (Sokkla)
Sokkla Saturdays Drabbles
Various Short Stories

I Don’t Hate Grifters
Prompt: AU
Summary: In a slightly different world, Mai isn't a blade-throwing disaffected heiress. She uses her precise hands and ability to become anyone to take what she wants from the people who can't keep up. Until, that is, she has a run-in with a certain scarred, banished prince...
Notes: I got into a conversation about Maiko that compared it to the romance between Moist Von Lipwig and Adora Belle Dearheart from the Discworld novels. Naturally, that led to me thinking of an AU where Mai is a grifter who makes her way in the world by spinning stories into scams.
