Have you ever had au's that role swapped avatars? Like Aang and Kyoshi switch, or Korra and Wan or something like that?
I have a Korra-Aang swap. Continued from here: [Link], [Link], [Link], and [Link].
1. The thing about Aang is, he grew up on the margins of power. Which is to say, he and his parents had no power, they were poor, they had no influence, and they were on the edge of starvation and homelessness all the time, and yet his uncle was the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. His cousins were a prince and princess. His father had once been a prince. So he was surrounded by powerful people when he had no power himself, and when he was desperate. This is not all that different from Mako and Bolin, street kids working for the Triads. They get each other, but none of them really get Asami.
2. Asami grew up alone, with a father too lost in his grief and anger to notice her. She grew up with a terrible sense of powerlessness, a lack of control over her life and family. Here's a secret. Kids only grow up feeling this sense of powerlessness, this lack of control when somebody else isn't doing the controlling, or when the person doing the controlling is using it to hurt the child and those they care about. Kids who grew up in safe, stable houses might not have any more control over their lives than children who are less fortunate, but they don't feel it, because they have implicit faith in the people who do have control, their loving familes. For Aang, Mako, and Bolin, they felt that lack of control because either they were orphans, or in Aang's case, his parents were too poor to be able to exert the kind of control over their environment that would give him a sense of stability and safety.
3. Asami felt that lack of control, because her father was effectively absent, and when he was there, she spent time taking care of him instead of the other way around, and nobody ever acknowledged this. So she learned to hide it, hide that she was vulnerable, hide that she wasn't safe, and put on this facade that she and her father were doing just fine, and she's gotten so good at it that it's hard to see past her money, and her cool facade, and the way she seemlessly took over Sato industries, to see her fear and uncertainty, and terrible loneliness.
4. And yeah, for a while there after they broke up, it was a lot easier for Mako to say to himself that, she was just a rich girl who didn't understand him, and what he went through, then it was to think about how she was going through some pretty heavy stuff too, and he didn't understand her either, and he really fucked up a lot of things.
5. Sometimes, Aang thinks the person he has the most in common with is Bolin, and sometimes that just makes the ways they aren't alike seem even bigger and harder to deal with. Because like Bolin, Aang learned to put on a happy face, and act like nothing mattered, because he loved his parents and he didn't want them to worry about him, just like Bolin loved Mako and didn't want him to worry, when both Aang's parents and Mako were worrying all the time about the ways they couldn't keep this one kid safe. But Aang always knew that was what he was doing. He's not sure Bolin does, and if Bolin doesn't know that's what he's been doing, then he's not going to know that he's wearing a mask, and that at some point he has to take it off and figure out who he is underneath it.

♡ ; In your relationship, it was Asami who set eyes first your way.
♡ ; One day, she was walking around the city looking for something to eat before returning to her company and continue her work when your silhouette got her eyes.
♡ ; You had on one of the prettiest outfits she had ever seen; a puffy blue skirt at the length of your ankle and a creamy colored blouse with long sleeves, lace and blue fabric at the wrist area. Over your head you had a cute straw hat.
♡ ; She did, in fact, stared for way too long because she saw you pay your food and leave acting like you didn't noticed her. That was the day Asami started to believe in love at frist sight.
♡ ; It wasn't that hard for you to fall for her either, she would've compliment every single outfit you dressed with, making you blush and the action would get prominent when she gave you a spin with her own hand so she could appreciate how the skirt flow better.
♡ ; Sato was amazed with every new outfit she saw on you, you had a big variety of dresses so you almost didn't repeat outfit on the same week.
♡ ; Her favorite one had a black skirt to your knees length and a dark red blouse, the skirt made the illusion as if it was a jumper since it had suspenders attached to it.
♡ ; She says it combines with her own clothes, that would make you blush.
♡ ; There was a clear difference in everyday clothes between Asami and you since she almost everyday used her company's uniform.
♡ ; But when there was an important event or a gala, she would match your elegance with her own dresses, making you both look like a couple out of fairytales.
♡ ; She was so sure that if it wasn’t because she needed to be in comfortable clothes to work on her inventions she would be dressed up every single day to make everyone jealous about your relationship.
♡ ; She would pressume you with everyone.
♡ ;‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “You see the girl with the pretty dress? That's my girlfriend.” she says pointing at you and then back at her with such pride.
♡ ; Asami wasn't a possessive person, but when she catches someone looking your way and read in their face how they want to make a move on you she would walk to you and make you spin over your feet before hugging your waist with one hand and leaving a sweet kiss on your lips. If you had a hat that day, her free hand would go up to hold it and make sure it stood in place.
♡ ; She would one hundred percent go with you to shopping more dresses if you wanted.
♡ ; Sato sits outside the dressing room waiting for you to show the dresses, she always says they all look good on you and how you should take all of them home.
♡ ; If there was a dress you couldn’t afford by yourself and you showed how much you liked it she would buy it for you when she goes back to the store alone and leave it in a big box on the bed after she leaves for work in the morning. Sometimes she'd leave a note telling you to wear it that day so you two could go for lunch together.
♡ ; She definitely has a picture of the two of you dressed up at a gala in her desk, the best picture ever taken, in her own words.
♡ ; On your anniversary you would've buy her a set very much in her style, but with a touch of yours: a long and a bit puffy red wine skirt, a white blouse with long sleeves and a shawl with her and your initials in each end.
♡ ; She was shocked at the set at first, but was quick to hug you and thank you for her new outfit.
♡ ; Asami would've put it on after giving you her gift and dragged you to a photo salon.
♡ ; She had a new favorite photo for her desk.

Republic City truly was beautiful in the early morning: all gorgeous golden sunlight, pleasantly cold sea air, and a landscape that never failed to leave you in awe no matter how long you've lived there. And given that most of the population would prefer to sleep in on national holidays, the two of you had pretty much the whole city to yourselves to explore and make your own, even if just for a short while.
Though, Asami's idea of 'making it your own' and 'creating new memories' didn't really give you much of an opportunity to explore the oft forgotten nooks and crannies of the capitol. After all, it's quite hard to admire the scenery when your girlfriend's perfectly manicured fingers are buried in your pussy playing with you in just the right way to have you seeing stars. Or when she's speeding, because you were sure that the speed limit was quite a bit below what was fast enough to not be able to decipher which blurs were buildings and which were plants (but what did you know, Asami was the experienced driver, not you).
Not that you'd ever dream of complaining when she looked so damn pretty in this light: soft lips, painted a flawless flirty red, curled upwards in that bright mischievous smile you fell in love with; peridot green eyes glinting with amusement that never looked away from the road ahead no matter how much you squirmed or moaned, the very corners of their lids crinkled with mirth as she continued to touch you; meticulously styled, black hair falling over one of her shoulders in perfect waves that you longed to run your fingers through, the strands just barely brushing against the lust reddened expanse of her cheeks; one hand casually resting on the steering wheel of the vehicle whilst the other effortlessly toyed with your soaking cunt to make a true mess of the freshly done up leather of the passenger seat (the wonders those hands could do... spirits, if they weren't already inside of you, you knew that by now you'd by downright begging for her to plunge those dextrous digits into your pussy without a care in the world for who saw or heard you).
She was as stunning as she was witty, and even as you became too far gone to give any proper response she continued to tease you. Occasionally allowing her gaze to flit down and away from the street for the briefest of moments to observe her handiwork and comment on it, all the while continuing to relentlessly thrust, and scissor, and crook her fingers inside of you.
Calling you the sweetest pet names whilst spreading her fingers as far as they can go inside of you, stretching you out further and further with every 'sweetie' and 'baby' and 'honey' that slips from those perfect lips. Cheekily mentioning how 'beautiful' the city looks and asking for your input whilst knowing that you're far too distracted by the circling of her thumb against your aching clit to even consider thinking of a response. Groaning in a way that made your pussy throb when she brushed her fingers against your g-spot and felt you soak her hand in response, her voice almost airy as she mentions how 'wet' you are and how much she wants to 'taste it' — but, thankfully for you, she presses on, continuing to use those experienced hands to bring you ever closer to the edge.
Thrusting two, and then three, of those long slender fingers into your entrance and using a mixture of crooking, and scissoring, and sliding to coax more sounds from you (more moans, more groans, more whimpers, and cusses, and pleas, and mindless repetitions of her name). Alternating between using the pad of her thumb and the heel of her hand to stimulate your clit, her own movements getting rougher and more desperate as time went on — as if she wanted to make you climax as much as you wanted to finish on her hand. Clenching her own thighs tightly and rubbing them together when you audibly started to mount your peak, her other hand clutching the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles were starting to pale from how harsh her grip on it was.
Desperately trying to hold out for as long as she could until something snapped in you both, and you were sent crashing over the edge of orgasm whilst she ran out of patience and hurriedly, dangerously, swerved into the abandoned car park of some random office building, turning off the ignition a moment later. Though you didn’t even notice what she was doing; far too lost in the throes of pleasure to pay much mind to what was going on beyond what you were feeling in that moment, as if the rest of the world ceased to exist to you: too lost to the haziness of your own mind and the drowning out of all coherent thoughts to hear her unbuckling her seatbelt and clumsily fiddling with all of the buttons and zips on her pants; too focused on the white hot pleasure rushing through your veins and the waves of oversensitive gooseflesh that it left in its wake to even process her reaching over your spent body to slowly push your seat down until you were laying flat on your back; too caught up in the bleariness of your vision and the splashes of white that marred even the insides of your eyelids to see her as she straddled your lap with blown out pupils and started to downright beg you to let her taste you or touch you ('anything, baby, please'), her own exposed pussy clearly glistening with slick and aching for your touch and acknowledgement. Not noticing anything beyond your own high until you'd finally come back down to earth and were met with the sight and sound of your, very desperate, very beautiful girlfriend on top of you and pleading for her exhausted partner to touch her.
What a way to start the day.

Just like a small question based on that one ask, but... might the lack of brown/black men in popular M/M ships have to do with people trying really hard not to be racist so they just... never feature black/brown men? Because I know several F/F ships with brown/black women, but I can't remember a single M/M or even M/F with a black/brown male love interest... well, maybe Link/Gan or Zelda/Gan? But besides that one... nothing rings a notable bell.
--
There are more than that, anon, even if there aren't a lot.
If we're talking about AO3, Link/Gan has 785 works. Finnpoe has 8,636. Sam/Bucky has 10,591. Do you just not watch live action media?
--
Part of it is "I don't know. I just don't find them hot for some reason..."-style racism. That can shift with time and exposure but there's no instant fix even if someone is interested in changing their own tastes.
Part of it is being instantly screamed at and held to higher standards. (And yes, no matter how much people want to whine and say this isn't true, it is true, and anyone who goes ahead and writes despite the haters will tell you so.)
Part of it is fear of messing up above and beyond fear of reactions. Personally, I think this is toxic white guilt-flavor time-wasting and it's better to try and fail than not try, but it's a massive factor in what some people choose to write.
A lot of it is simply the composition of the mega-franchises that tend to generate the ships with bajillions of works. If we're looking at AO3 circles, the biggest f/f ships are not that big. If you look at m/m ships of the same size, there are some with some guy who is not white and not a pale-skinned Asian.
Here's the AO3 f/f tag where you can directly see what's big in the sidebar.
Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor (20389)
Evil Queen | Regina Mills/Emma Swan (15516)
Original Female Character(s)/Original Female Character(s) (14062)
Clarke Griffin/Lexa (12661)
Minor or Background Relationship(s) (11492)
Adora/Catra (She-Ra) (10855)
Amity Blight/Luz Noceda (9751)
Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (7913)
Blake Belladonna/Yang Xiao Long (7205)
Korra/Asami Sato (6866)
If we exclude nonspecific tags and misplaced dudes, we add:
Alex Danvers/Maggie Sawyer (6127)
Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler (6120)
Waverly Earp/Nicole Haught (5738)
Luz Noceda and Korra have darker skin. Lana Parrilla is Latina, but is Regina Mills? This isn't exactly some paradise for the diversity you're talking about.
Here's the M/M tag:
Castiel/Dean Winchester (107699)
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (68231)
Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (65757)
Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter (64761)
James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers (59546)
Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens) (48169)
Minor or Background Relationship(s) (47119)
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (43665)
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson (41631)
Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (40374)
Let's exclude some things and see what we get as we head towards the 5-20k range.
Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku (38445)
Jeon Jungkook/Kim Taehyung | V (36025)
Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn (35907)

Jeon Jungkook/Park Jimin (28191)
Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (27775)
Bakugou Katsuki/Kirishima Eijirou (27193)
Well, we've got Lance. (*shudder*) He's one of the most distasteful and useless stock character types in episode one and is the reason I never bothered to touch Voltron again, but his fans are certainly loud enough about him being Latino.
Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov (26087)
Dazai Osamu/Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs) (26058)
Clay | Dream/GeorgeNotFound (Video Blogging RPF) (21900)
Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson (21897)
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV) (21296)
Original Male Character/Original Male Character (21035)

Byun Baekhyun/Park Chanyeol (9471)
Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski (9367)

Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg (8785)
Dabi | Todoroki Touya/Takami Keigo | Hawks (8710)
Alhaitham/Kaveh (Genshin Impact) (8657)
Peter Parker/Tony Stark (8607)
Bakugou Katsuki/Todoroki Shouto (8588)
James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson (8522)
Only here are we finally getting down to the range where a lot of the big f/f ships on AO3 hang out, and here's Sam/Bucky, which is frankly not a small pairing at all unless you only mean in comparison to Stucky.
I'll stop there for m/m since these numbers are getting pretty distorted by me filtering out everything higher up, but you get the idea. Even that wretched Old Guard fandom couldn't completely kill off its ship, though then we get into how you're defining your terms and how much actual skin tone matters.
Here's f/m on AO3:
Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug (32122)
Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy (26417)
Original Female Character(s)/Original Male Character(s) (23498)
Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (23403)
Minor or Background Relationship(s) (18497)
James Potter/Lily Evans Potter (18142)
Kylo Ren/Rey (15915)
James "Bucky" Barnes/Reader (15200)
Pepper Potts/Tony Stark (14547)
Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley (13843)
Bellamy Blake/Clarke Griffin (13551)
Fox Mulder/Dana Scully (13145)
Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak (11318)
Captain Hook | Killian Jones/Emma Swan (11031)
Castiel/Dean Winchester (10851)
Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth (9236)
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (9152)
Annabeth Chase/Percy Jackson (9141)
Other Relationship Tags to Be Added (9108)
Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper (9046)
Bellamy Blake's actor is Filipino, isn't he? I remember race wank.
I don't see anything particularly significant until we get further down the listings, but there are definitely smaller fandoms like Leverage where everybody loves and ships the black guy.
I mean, yes, clearly, media does have a bias against darker skin, and the darker the skin, the bigger the bias. This bias may be exacerbated by fandom, but in a lot of cases, it just seems to be replicated at about the same level.
That pattern notwithstanding, it seems like you just haven't heard of a lot of ships.

Definitely interested in the Korra as Yakone's daughter AU- I'm curious to see where it goes next!
Continued from: [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], and [Link].
1. It's not often that it's a matter of international importance for a teenage girl to call her mother. As the phone rings, Korra sweats anxiously, unsure of how to even say what's going on, how to tell her mom that Noatak is alive too, and what he's doing, and please come, maybe he'll listen to you. She doesn't know how to say it at all. So when her mom answers the phone, Korra just says, "Mom?" shakily, and her mom asks if she's okay.
2. Korra says no. And her mom coaxes the story out of her, and tells her she will try. Kahva calls Katara. Katara, waterbending teacher to two Avatars, veterin of the Hundred Years War, who helped bring it to an end, wife of one of the most respected Avatars of all time, respected healer and expert in long term recovery, and sometimes player in Southern Water Tribe politics, knows people. In this case. She knows a long distance airplane racing pilot. And Kahva has to explain to her that her son, who she thought was dead, is alive and has taken Katara's son and grandchildren captive. And Katara understands that it isn't Kahva's fault, and she knows a pilot. They fly together, just the three of them, to Republic City. It's a dangerous flight. It takes over a day just to get them there, and the pilot can't sleep or take a break. But they get to Republic City after it's all over.
Let's back up.
3. Amon holds a rally, where he parades his captive airbenders, Tenzin and his children, in front of the masses of his conquered city. His little sister shows up to crash the party. She's all, hey, Noatak, what's up, big bro, I know all about the bloodbending, and he insists he has no idea what she's talking about and tells his fake life story again, and takes off his mask to reveal his "scar". Korra, who is beyond rattled, just looks at him and says, "A mask and makeup? That must have been uncomfortable. Committing to the bit, I see. I can respect that. Anyway, Mom's on her way." And Korra might be beyond rattling, but Amon isn't, and this whole thing distracts him long enough that she can waterbend the fake scar right off his panicking face.
4. It's pandemonium. And in the chaos, all of Amon's plans crumple to dust. The news that he's a liar and a bender causes his own people to turn on him, and the terrifies people of the city don't exactly support him either. In the confusion, both he and Tenzin and kids manage to escape, and the United Republic forces come in to restore order. Korra and co head back to Air Temple Island to free Tarrlock and see if Amon headed there. He did. They find him at Tarrlock's cell.
5. It all goes wrong so fast. He bloodbends Korra, takes her bending, and then goes to do the same to Mako. Korra promptly discovers she has airbending now, because adding an extessential identity crisis to her already potant blend of tragic family revelations is the way to unlock airbending. She blasts Amon out of the way. He rounds on her, and then crumples. Asami got him with her stolen equalist glove.

Bruh. How Asami Sato was designed and almost written to be a stereotypical femme fatale villainess/whatevs, only for the writers to think “…ok but what if she was actually as nice as she acted?”
I know that ATLA was already pretty revolutionary in how it handled their female characters (Toph was almost a male chara guys—Almost either a grown man or a teen boy—but someone suggested they kept the personality traits and make her a girl instead!), but man.
Do you know how many pretty, popular, wealthy/well-off female characters with particular make-up styles I watched being villains in disguise, making me distrust other pretty, popular, wealthy/well-off female characters in other stuff and already paint them as a jerk in my head, only to rewatch those series years later and realize that many of them were never as bad as I ‘remembered’ them to be, and realized that I’ve been subconsciously conditioned by accident to view “pretty girls” as untrustworthy?
Especially when they are paired opposite of the girl-next-door/i’m-not-like-other-girls-girl.
When Asami appeared on screen for the first time in LoK, part of me thought, “Oh hey! Here’s the mean love interest rival/bad girl disguised as good girl,” while the quieter part of me was…surprisingly exasperated.
I realized I was sick of this cliche. There were good guys and bad guys, yes, but surely not EVERY. SINGLE. GOOD-LOOKING GIRL COULD POSSIBLY BE BAD!
The way I was so delightfully surprised when Asami was revealed to be…REALLY A GOOD GIRL AFTER ALL!
It’s as if to tell younger girls, “Hey! You can be strong, kind, amazing, and beautiful no matter what you look like, wherever you fall on or outside the scale of femininity!”
What an idea.
I also love that Asami wasn’t a predictable villain. I remember saying while watching the show “I hope she doesn’t turn out to be evil that’d be so boring.”
The coolest thing (that I can’t take credit for because someone else pointed it out) is that you can tell from the animation when the showrunners changed their mind. When we first meet Asami her face is very angular, her eyes narrow. Vixen, snakelike.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But after it’s revealed she’s ignorant of her father’s politics her face softens. Her eyes and lips get bigger. Her face widens at the cheeks. She’s less pale and more expressive.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I dunno, from a monkey brain perspective it’s fascinating.

Day 3- Pets
Asami x Korra
A/N: I wrote this while watching season 1 of Korra which is so ironic to me
You can also read it here on archive of our own
“No Korra, as much as I love Naga we cannot have her live in the house with us.” Asami sighed,
“Come on, Asami! You have an entire mansion, surely Naga can live in a small part of it.” Korra assured, smiling crookedly at her and Asami cursed her sad bi heart.
“Fine, she can stay in the house with us.” Korra whopped, and Asami prayed that she wouldn’t regret this.
~
“Korra, why is Naga in the kitchen?” Asami asked, trying to get past the wall of white fur that blocked her from her girlfriend.
“Asami! Er- what are you doing up so early?” She heard Korra call out from somewhere behind Naga.
“Well I woke up for a meeting, and was miffed to see that my lovely girlfriend wasn’t in bed with me, and so I went out to go search for her.” Asami replied, “That still doesn’t explain why Naga is in our kitchen.”
“Well- she’s helping me.”
“Helping with what?” Asami was slowly getting more and more concerned, “Korra what are you doing?”
“Nothing! Uh- can you just wait for me out in the living room?”
“Um… ok I will. But you’re not in any danger, are you Korra? You know I’m always here for you.”
“Mhm! Perfectly fine!” and reluctantly Asami backed out of the kitchens. Korra ran out of the kitchen a few seconds later, her hair smoking slightly.
“Asami! Good morning beautiful- I didn’t set the stove on fire.”
“You set the stove on fire?” Asami shrieked, for as much as she loved her girlfriend, it seemed that technology didn’t. If technology was sentient it would most likely try to waterboard Korra.
“Korra, what were you doing in the kitchen?” Asami asked one last time,
“Well I was trying to make breakfast, you know, to thank you for letting Naga stay in the house, because I knew you were on the fence about it. Well the stove didn’t agree with me and-“
“Caught on fire.” Asami finished. Korra nodded guiltily.
“Well I appreciate the gesture anyway Korra.” she says, kissing her girlfriend’s forehead gently, “How about instead we go to the restaurant you love so much, and have breakfast there?”
“I can get us there in record time.” Korra agreed with a snap of her fingers.
“That’s sweet of you Korra, but maybe I should drive the Sato-mobile. I would love it if I could get to the restaurant with my stomach still in my body.”
“Sato-mobile? Who said we were going to use the Sato-mobile?” Korra flashed her crooked grin again, and Asami had a feeling whatever was going to happen next would definitely rearrange her organs. And not in a good way.
~
She was right. She was tragically right. Naga hadn't been out of the house in q while, and she was making up for it now. Shops and people passed by in a blur, and Asami had to hold onto Korra for dear life. Every two seconds a pedestrian would yell in outrage, or a sato-mobile would honk indignantly.
Korra and Naga were having the time of their lives however. Korra was whopping, even going as far to let go of the reins to try and touch a low hanging string of lights. Asami almost screamed herself hoarse when Naga leaped clean over an oncoming mobile.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity but was most likely only 15 minutes. Naga stopped suddenly, and if Asami didn’t have a death grip on Korra she would have been launched into oncoming traffic.
“Wasn’t that exhilarating Asami? A hundred times better than a Sato-mobile, no offense of course.” Korra exclaimed, but there was no response, “Asami?”
Korra looked over Naga to see Asami had splat on the ground and was just lying there, looking slightly disheveled,
“Are you ok?” Korra slipped off of Naga’s back to check up on her,
“Korra, I love you but I might just lose my non-existent lunch if I do that again.” She moaned,
“It wasn’t that bad.” Naga agreed by licking Asami’s hair, trying to get her to stand up. Korra hooks her arms under Asami and picks her up, bridal style.
“How about on the way back, I carry you all the way, just like this.”  Korra said, punctuating her sentence with a kiss pressed to her forehead,
“That would be much preferred.” Asami agreed. Naga wanted to join in the hug and so she set her head on Korra’s head slobbering all over them.
“Sorry girl, you’re out of the business.” Asami laughed, and kissed Korra.
A/N: Sorry this is late, I was busy the last two days, and honestly really lazy

My Korrasami Fanfiction: Shared Moments Series
Shared Moments: The Legend of Korrasami
The goal of Shared Moments is to detail Korra and Asami's love story, how they weather the trauma thrown their way, and how they grow their relationship despite the storms that beset them. That's why it's called Shared Moments actually.
Author: TheBirdWrites
Series Begun: 2023-02-21
Description:
This series will delve into the world of Avatar in depth, exploring the Spirit World, spirit energy, technology, bending styles, and political systems. It's mostly from Asami Sato's perspective with chapters also from Korra's, Bolin's, Mako's, and Jinora's perspectives. We begin halfway through Book 1 after Asami rescues Korra and friends from her father. Book two is a complete rewrite, and Books 3 and 4 and the comics will show the ripple effects of that rewrite. The comic Ruins of Empire will not appear in this series. Instead, a Book 5 (post-finale) story is planned that focuses on the consequences from the prior books and the implications of spirit energy/weaponry.
Notes:
I decided to rewrite Book 2 - Spirits mostly because I wanted more from that season, and it felt too rushed. My version will be have similar story beats, but will tackle the material from a different angle.
Stats: Words (as of 10/1/2023, number will increase as more books completed): 832,360
Works: 5 out of 9
Synopses: Book 1
This book is only a few scattered scenes that happen between the canon show's scenes, and they focus primarily on Korra and Asami building a friendship.
This is finished.
Book 1.5
This book details Asami's tale of how she deals with the trauma of her father's attempt on her life and inheriting all of Future Industries and the mansion.
This is finished (Note: I might add a chapter that is only art later).
Book 2
For this book, I rewrote canon story with Korrasami in mind and fusing the civil war arc with the spirit arc. Asami discovers a hidden sect of Southerners who have knowledge of spiritual techniques, so Korra and her start an investigation into the spirit attacks, while Korra struggles with whether she can trust her increasingly authoritarian uncle. Team Avatar has to race against time to stop a World War.
This is finished.
Book 2.5
For this book, Asami deals with PTSD from her role in the final battles of the World War, where she saw most of the action. Her and Korra are now officially together, but they struggle with what that means. Asami also must deal with her mansion and the fact someone has broken into it.
This is finished.
Book 3
In this book, our Krew goes on an airship adventure to rebuild the Air Nation, only to discover a conspiracy in Ba Sing Se, and the news of a deadly group that is hellbent on ending the Avatar and the Avatar's Mirror. This books closely follows the canon story, but has the ripple effects of my prior books.
Completed as of 9/15/2023.
Book 3.5
Korra and Asami head South to help heal from the poisoning they suffered from Zaheer. Except, Korra has insisted Asami split her time between Republic City and the South. Asami, recognizing her role as the Avatar's Mirror, takes up her mantle to try to unravel political unrest in Republic City and the Earth Kingdom. A Civil War looms between Ba Sing Se and Omashu, and Asami has no idea who to trust anymore. While assisting Asami's burgeoning mutual aid network, members of the Air Nation discover alarming news relating to the potential Civil War. Asami goes undercover with the Krew, while she struggles to balance her work with her own healing and her relationship with Korra.
Meanwhile, Korra falls deeper into depression and wonders if the world truly needs an Avatar after all.
First chapter posted 9/20/2023 - will post updates 2 to 3 times a week at most.
Book 4
It will follow loosely canon Book 4 but I'm cutting out some of the comedic characters, and focusing more on the Air Nation and Team Avatar.
Asami and Korra reunite after Korra vanishes for six months, and Korra discovers who the stranger masked fighter was that had protected her in her six month sojourn. The two work together to build up a plan to stop Kuvira's plot to take over the entire continent and all surrounding islands, including the Fire Nation.
Currently this book is still in planning stage with a few scattered scenes written.
Book 4.5
Korra and Asami's Spirit World Vacation.
Not yet posted to AO3, but it's mostly finished.
Book 5
This book details Team Avatar up against an arms race to stop the development of spirit weapons, and to find a way to bridge peace across the world.
This book is still being planned so plot may change as I think through how best to tackle the themes.
Other Notes: I include my fanart in the series as well! Book 3 currently has the majority of my art since that's when I started to get good enough to share more of it.
So head on over and read if interested! Send kudos! Leave comments, and enjoy. :)

Do you have any tips for drawing asami's face? I'm struggling 💀 ig it's hard to make her recognizable for some reason
ooh so yeah I can give you some tips that helps me, and you can take this with a grain of salt because everyone is different and what works for me might not work and so on.
So, I am going to be pretty honest with you, I change the way I draw Asami almost every time. I’m often looking for ways to improve and finding my own comfortable style with her, but there are some things that I find that helps with keeping Asami recognizable while I'm evolving.
This is a bit of a long post, so I had to cut it.
When in doubt, I like to refer back to the original sources. Like the artbooks and any official art, for example.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like using these as reference as I try to figure out how I want to approach drawing Asami. I know some artists like to stay on model, but personally, I find that time consuming and stressful (I tried it years ago with FMA and my art was very stiff and I was not having a good time). So instead, I look at different angles and try to identify certain features that makes Asami, Asami. Looking at other artists can help too, especially if you want to adopt a style or if you like a particular way they create.
Overall, Asami is glamorous and elegant so I try to draw some attention to that when drawing her. Some key features I tend to keep are her hair, eyes, and face shape. Drawing her with make-up helps with recognition since she wears eye shadow and bold lipstick whereas other characters don't. But sometimes, there are situations I draw Asami in, where I don’t think she would wear make-up (e.g., going to bed, waking up in the morning, shower, etc.), so having to find some other features helps me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I notice she has a distinctive widow’s peak, which I often use as a placement point for the center of her face. On top of that, I try to keep her hair part well-defined since it also helps me with her overall hair shape. She also has thick, wavy hair with the ends curling. Plus, the way that front section wraps around her face sometimes, is just... she is so stunning. It can help define her face shape. I think keeping these hair features aid in recognition with different artistic styles as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aside from hair, her eyelashes help enhance some of her beauty; especially if I want to bring attention to those vibrant, green eyes. Of course, she would have mascara in her makeup arsenal, but even without it, I like to think she has naturally long eyelashes. She is absolutely stunning. I mean look the image of the Krew above... *eyelashes*
I also find myself drawing Asami with more angular features than I would Korra. For example, her chin would be a bit more pointed, and the bridge of her nose a bit more defined. Sometimes I will even define her lips.
Tumblr media
In any case, whatever stands out to you is your best bet in trying to capture this beauty. It's most important to have fun with it. and idk it is probably weird but i find myself falling in love with her when i draw her. She is beauty, she is grace, she is Asami Sato, bender of Avatar Korra and my heart.

Team Avatar
Katrina is the current incarnation of the Guardian and immediate successor of Guardian Ceres. Born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe with her twin sister, Avatar Korra, where she mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending, she later relocated to Republic City to attain a similar proficiency with airbending under the tutelage and guidance of Tenzin. With the assistance of Ceres's spirit, Katrina gained the ability to energybend and, after connecting with her past lives, she gained the capacity to enter the Guardian State at will, marking her transition into a fully realized Guardian. 
Katrina started a romantic relationship with the general of the United Forces and, the son of Fire Lord Izumi, a member of the Fire Nation Royal Family, as well as a firebending master and skilled military leader, Iroh II.
History:
Katrina was born to Tonraq and Senna after Korra by five minutes in the Southern Water Tribe following the deaths of Avatar Aang and Fire Lady Guardian Ceres in 153 AG. At the age of four, she and Korra introduced themselves to the Order of the White Lotus as the new Avatar and Guardian by Korra performing water-, earth-, and firebending while Katrina performed water-, earth-, fire-, and airbending before them. She honed her waterbending under the tutelage of Katara, though unlike her twin sister's instinctive aggressive style, Katrina's style is the calm, slow movements the elderly master pass on to her.
After Chief Unalaq learned that his nieces are the Avatar and Guardian, he constantly sought Tonraq's permission to train Korra and Katrina in the spiritual ways of the Water Tribe, but his estranged brother shot him down. Since he secretly desired to indoctrinate Korra and Katrina in the ways of the Red Lotus and coerce them to reopen the long-dormant spirit portals to release Vaatu, Unalaq commissioned Zaheer, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li to kidnap them in 158 AG.
However, due to the efforts of Tonraq, Chief Sokka, Fire Lord Zuko, and Councilman Tenzin, the attempt was thwarted, and the criminals were apprehended, although Unalaq's involvement remained unknown. After the incident, Tonraq and Tenzin decided to seclude the Avatar and Guardian in the Southern Water Tribe compound, away from the public eye as they pursued the bending arts.
Trivia:
• Katrina means "Pure" in Greek.
• Unlike Korra, Katrina always carried a water skin everywhere she goes, so she carries three water skins, similar to Katara during the invasion.
• Katrina has a pet Snow Leopard Cat name Amari, whom she met with Naga when she and Korra were young. Since Amari grew up to be the same size as Naga, Katrina rides on her with a saddle just like Korra with Naga.
• Katrina is the first Guardian who has lightning generation.
• Katrina is the second Guardian who can use metalbending, the first is Ceres. Unlike her sister, Katrina carries metal with her wherever she goes.
• Katrina is the second Guardian who can use bloodbending, the first is Ceres. However, while Ceres can only bloodbend during the full moon, Katrina can bloodbend at will without the aid of the full moon, but they both share the desire to never use bloodbending again.
• Like Korra, Katrina is also a healer.
• Since she was a child, even after finding out she is the Guardian, Katrina used to take dancing as one of her hobbies. Because of this, she uses her knowledge of dancing to avoid her enemy's attacks.

Happy Birthday To Me... I Guess
Summary: It’s Asami’s twenty-first birthday, but she doesn’t feel like celebrating. That is until an unlikely friend turns her day around with a strange gift that leads Asami to discover her own past and unearth old secrets.
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49461007/chapters/124826812#main
Note: This series is a work in progress that started three months ago. I'm already nine chapters deep. Currently writing chapter ten. This work was the second thing I posted to Ao3 so it's very rough, but the plot is fun if you're looking for a light read and like Asami-centric fics. It's focused on her learning about her mother and finding out...inconvenient information along the way. There is some background KyaLin if you're into that. It's slow burn korrasami, and not cannon compliant. The air kiddos and the entire krew are present as background characters as is Opal.
Chapter 1
Today was the big day, September 21st but to Asami it felt like any other. Lonely, busy, cold. She woke up early to an empty house. Brushed her teeth, styled her hair, washed her face, dabbed on perfume and carefully applied her signature red lipstick. She padded downstairs to make herself her usual tea, catching sight of the kitchen telephone through the corner of her eye. Her hands itched with the desire to call up a particular someone. To hear that voice again, to catch up, to just have someone she could talk to honestly. It was futile. Asami turned away, she knew the person on the other end would not pick up. She had tried before. She breathed in sharply, her tea that was hot just a moment ago was now ice to the touch. A tear fell into the cup and then another. She pretended not to notice and returned upstairs to reapply her makeup.
The rest of her day was spent sitting through tedious meetings, listening to investors drone on for what felt like forever. Reviewing budgets, supervising the Sato factories and sketching up plans for new buildings. She fidgeted with the pen in her hands and flipped through her sketchbook, realizing none of her ideas looked quite right. The scale was off, the layout wasn’t practical, where could she find the funding ? It was times like these when she missed her parents. Maybe her mother would have something encouraging to say or perhaps her father, the genius, would have a miraculous idea. To tell the truth she didn’t actually know what they would do. She hadn’t spoken to her father in years and she never really got the chance to know her mother. She glanced over her sketches again, sighed, gave up and returned home early.
To her surprise she found a large package on her doorstep. She brought it inside, sat it on her desk, and inspected it. The pink box had a large blue bow on it, and a piece of paper reading “To ‘Sami” in neat flowing script was tucked away neatly underneath the bow. Despite its size the package was light, and oddly enough smelled strangely familiar. The perfume scent was like an itch she couldn’t scratch. She knew she recognized it from somewhere but couldn’t recall exactly where. It was decidedly feminine, velvety, rich but not too heavy. Her curiosity got the better of her. She quickly reached out and unraveled the silk ribbons, eagerly lifting the lid off the box to uncover white tissue paper. She peeled back the delicate paper revealing a stunning floor length dress underneath. It was a snow white, silky affair. The fabric was fine and slightly sheer. She lifted it up in her arms and noticed the tiny jasmine flowers embroidered all over it in silver thread catching the light. The design snaked up the cuffs of the sleeves and the hem of the skirt. Forming an almost star like pattern. It was brilliant. The waist was cinched and emphasized by a silver ribbon. The skirt was voluminous. She sat the dress down and looked into the box to discover the accompanying slip. It was a soft pink and made of a more opaque silk, sleeveless and by the looks of it very form fitting. Cherry blossoms were concentrated along the bust in gold thread, and their petals descended down to the waist.
Asami could see the vision of the dress with the slip underneath in her mind. It was beautiful, the skirt just barely kissing the floor, the clever silhouette flattering her figure, “but why would anyone send me such an elaborate gift ?” she wondered. Then she realized it was her birthday. She forgot her own birthday. She looked at the tag of the dress, hoping it would give her a clue as to its origins. She was not prepared in the slightest for what she saw next. “Yasuko Tanaka” the tag read. Her heart skipped a beat at the familiar name. It couldn’t really be her mother’s, could it ? No, the last name was wrong. Unless…She didn’t know her mother’s maiden name. Could it really be ?

To Pass A Law ||Zukka Fanfic||
https://archiveofourown.org/works/52683088 by andrewslora0 This takes place right after the comics and one year after the final battle. Fire Lord Zuko is almost assassinated, which causes Team Avatar to come back to the Fire Nation to help smooth things over and to find out who is behind the attack. Many people are angry with the world leaders and their politics, and especially with the Fire Nation. During all of this Sokka and Zuko become very overprotective of each other taking extreme measures to protect one another. Meanwhile everyone in Team Avatar is forced to question their ideologies as well as find out some secrets which are exposed in Legend of Korra. During the search for the criminals Zuko and Sokka grow super close, overcoming many obstacles in the way. But will their luck continue? Zuko already has the entire world questioning the Fire Nation's leadership style and surely the law he eventually decides to pass will definitely put him, Sokka, Team Avatar, and the rest of the world's leaders in great danger. Can they overcome this too? Or will they be forced back in the shadows to obtain world peace? Both Sokka and Zuko need to decide on how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other and their decision will impact the fate of the entire world.
