Smellerbee had dug up some scissors somewhere, Jet muses as he jogs ahead of Longshot. She must have unless the new kid managed to cut half his hair off with the little pigsticker-pocket knife squirreled away. Jet does not resist ruffling his hand in the newly shorn, scruffy bristles on the kid's head. He also does not manage to dodge the knife-sharp elbow he got in the gut for his trouble.

Summary: The Freedom Fighters were more than just a group of refugees. They were warriors, friends, family all bonded together by loss and their goal to free the world from the Fire Nation. But what happens when his leadership is questioned and morality is challenged by something that - for the first time - he can't control.
Summary: Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot make memories at a Green Day concert and contemplate what it means to truly feel alive.
Written as a late submission for @atla-gen-week for day 6: free space
Green Day is not exactly his taste in music, but it’s Jet’s and Smellerbee’s. They eat, sleep, and breathe Green Day. Jet even gave himself a hand grenade tattoo on the underside of one of his biceps. Longshot’s taste is more to the tune of Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend. But Jet got an amazing deal on three tickets and Longshot couldn’t say no—he can never say no to Jet.
So now here they stand, the hot August sun baking on the blacktop they stand on. Longshot is wearing a borrowed band t-shirt with the album cover for Dookie on it. He looks plain compared to Jet and Smellerbee: band tees, ripped black skinny jeans, rubber band bracelets and studded leather straps adorning their arms, thick black eyeliner lining their eyes. Smellerbee is rocking a leather jacket with metal spikes on the shoulders, her chestnut hair teased into a frizzy cloud around her head, her dark bandana still in its usual place.
Jet wears the remnants of a Nimrod t-shirt that he says he got from the boy who introduced him to the band; it’s an original. The sleeves have been taken off, and it’s been cut into a cropped top, showing off his tanned stomach. He wears a long-sleeve cropped fishnet top under it. He’s got that rugged rebel charm, that charisma that drew the quiet Longshot and the wayward Smellerbee towards him in the first place. Longshot is here because of him, because of that energy, as much as he is for anything else.
Longshot has never really known a family, known what it meant to have someone you’d be willing to die for, but now he does. Looking at Jet and Smellerbee with their huge grins and wild eyes, he knows he’d do anything for them.
So, apparently Smellerbee was a trans icon this whole time, and I just never noticed.
And I love how Iroh immediately realises his mistake and corrects himself
And how Longshot is non-verbal, yet Smellerbee understands him perfectly! This is clearly a conversation they've had a thousand times, which indicates an unreal amount of trust between these two
was going to be like man I hope nobody gets mad at me for saying this but Iroh seems like the type of uncle to accidentally misgender someone constantly and make it really awkward but then I remembered that you CANT get mad at me for saying that because. thats what. he did. in canon he canonically misgendered someone and it WAS awkward and thats canon and it happened. he IS that uncle, that guy. Uncle Fail.......
