Book 1: Intertwined Destinies
Chapter 1
Fandom: Avatar the Last Air Bender
Summary: Music night washes over Iroh. The crew’s attention  on each other means no one notices  their allegedly ill prince slipping over the side of the Wani and onto the dock. 
Zuko, as The Blue Spirit, is leaving to meet another White Lotus Bud agent to exchange information on the Earth Armies for similar details on Fire Nation troops. 
The White Lotus Buds are more successful than Iroh expected. Sometimes he thinks the war would end in days if they left the operatives in charge. 
The White Lotus Buds were inspired by Zuko himself. It wasn't difficult to connect The Blue Spirit’s earlier escapades with Zuko. Not once one realized there were connections to make.
Iroh does not know when the sneaking began, though he has his suspicions. Ten year old princes don’t go missing for days on end easily. And there's the  ambiguity surrounding  Azulon’s death and Ursa’s sudden flight. When it started doesn’t truly matter when Zuko will not speak of it.
Shaking off his wandering curiosity, Iroh lets himself be drawn into the singing of an old sea shanty. It helps keep an old man awake, which he will need if he wants to be alert for his nephew’s return later that night.

Chapter Preview
Sokka stomps his feet against the  iron deck of the abandoned Fire Nation ship beneath him and pulls the arctic fox-bear skin lower over his face. Until recently he’d thought the mask-hood combo Gran Gran had insisted he keep was ridiculous. He might technically be a White Lotus Bud, but much like being a man of the tribe, it was in name only. Despite his eighteen years he’d never even been ice dodging. 
Then he’d received word from Gran Gran that he’d be meeting with another operative, The Blue Spirit himself. To say that Sokka was excited was to put it mildly. The Blue Spirit was a legend in their organization. The top operative the White Lotus had to offer. And Sokka was going to meet him tonight! Though his excitement had waned in the last  three hours and several degrees.

Lin babefong beifong being hard to romance bc she had no exact mother or father figure to show her paternal affection AND she spent time her teens trying to mother her younger sister AND she was so hellbent on having a career AND her only long term serious relationship fell through bc of her own child free choice AND she works in a male dominant field as a small Chinese woman and
Any men who try to romance her get put into this ‘coworker’ box that she has a hard time taking them out of

kintsug (Series)
Fandom: Avatar the Last Airbender
Author: discordiansamba, @discordiansamba​
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Strong Language, Violence, Child Abuse
Word Count:  95,014
Characters: Zuko, Toph Beifong, Lao Beifong, Poppy Beifong, Yu, Mai, Ty Lee, Iroh, Ozai, Azula, Xin Fu, Original Characters
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, toph didn't get her field trip so she gets to hog zuko for three whole years, Ozai Being a Terrible Parent
au in which a banished for good zuko ends up being hired by the beifongs to watch over their daughter- or, zuko and toph never took that field trip in canon so now she gets to hog him for three whole years.
kintsugi
After his ill-fated Agni Kai, Zuko is cast out of the Fire Nation without even so much as a hope of returning. Dumped on Earth Kingdom shores, he's forced to come to terms with the fact that his father likely wants him dead- and that maybe the Fire Nation was never that great to begin with.
That's the painful part.
The weird part? The weird part is breaking into a nobleman's manor in order to steal food, getting caught and then being hired to protect (babysit) said nobleman's blind daughter. Then again... maybe it's exactly what he needs right now.
(or, toph never got her field trip so now she gets to hog zuko for three whole years)
of earth and fire
In which Zuko's first few days in the Beifong household are interesting to everyone involved, but none more so than to Zuko himself.
(or, zuko learns to adjust and learns toph's just as big a liar as he is)
those left behind
Iroh returns to the Fire Nation to unpleasant rumors, and makes a decision.
in which lying and acting are the same thing really
Zuko's never been a liar. That's always been Azula's thing. But now that he's living in enemy territory, he literally has no choice- and the guilt is starting to get to him.
Toph's never had a choice when it comes to acting- she has to, because the girl her parents think she is doesn't exist. She doesn't feel guilty about it at all, not really.
(or, sometimes a liar and an actor are exactly what the other needs)
two kids in an underground fight pit
What happens in the underground fight pit, doesn't always necessarily stay in the underground fight pit.
(in which Zuko and Toph spar with each other, go watch a Rumble, have their first fight, and figure out friendship on the way.)
two birthdays in the earth kingdom
Toph marks her first birthday since Li came into her life, which to her, is a gift enough already.
Zuko marks his first birthday since his exile with the fevered realization that maybe family has found him.
(or, toph and zuko grow a year older and maybe just a little wiser)
earth rumble five
It's time for Earth Rumble Five, and Toph Beifong has one mission- to prove that she really is the greatest earthbender in the world.
Zuko's just along for the ride.
turtleduck
While shopping in the market, Zuko spots something unexpected.
two kids loose in ba sing se (what will they do)
Before, Lao Beifong would have never considered bringing Toph with him to Ba Sing Se. It just wasn't safe.
It turned out your daughter having her own personal bodyguard changed things.
(or, long feng gets a headache)

have you ever watched Avatar: The Last Airbender? i know its actually a kid's show but it's just so good 😭 my new hyper-fixation fr
It's been a while, but yeah, I've seen it! I started going back through it a while ago and got stuck in Book Two. Really should go back to that. I honestly remember Korra a little better than A:TLA? I think?
And! Kid's shows! can be prime entertainment! A:TLA is a good show, whether it was meant for kids or not! No shame with enjoying it!
...that said who is your favorite character and why is it Uncle Iroh

“From uh. From some pictures I’ve seen of you. You definitely had a much…..fuller figure.” Korra mumbled as she looked at the now elderly melon lord. Who with age lost her massive milky Z-cups and had shrunken down to pitiful Cs.

"and last I remember you were bald we all change with time." She said her back hunched over from more then just old age.

the wardrobe / toph beifong
“it's okay. one of the good things about being blind, is i don't have to waste my time worrying about appearance. i don't care what i look like. i'm not looking for anyone's approval. i know who i am.”
describe your muse’s aesthetic in five words or less.
lazy comfortable earth tones
does your muse spend a lot of time on their outfit and appearance? how long do they spend getting ready in the morning?
absolutely not. toph has never cared much about her appearance for obvious reasons. there are times where she feels more self conscious than usual, but at the end of the day she’s never known what she looks like and that’s just something they live and deal with.
does your muse consider the way they dress to be trendy? would other people agree?
literally no clue. toph would say it’s trendy just because they assume they’re always going to be cool, but realistic she just doesn’t know. i would say for the vibe toph goes for it could definitely be seen as trendy/
how often do they buy new clothes? are they the type to keep a outfit for years or replace it after one wear?
rarely. toph will absolutely wear clothes until they’re falling apart and then finally admit she needs new ones.
is your muse the type to accessorize? how much?
not much. their hair is often up because vision or not the feeling of it on her neck is terrible and inconvenient, so sometimes there’s a headband or scrunchie, and toph will appreciate a hat here and there, but that’s usually it. there’s also the bracelet she made herself with meteor rock that toph wears all the time.
how much time do they spend on skin care/makeup/grooming?
zero to none. toph washes their face before going to sleep, but sometimes that does just mean splashing some water on themselves and calling it a day.
if money and societal expectations were not a concern would your muse dress differently than they currently do? if so, how?
maybe just a bit more similar to how they dressed back home. it’s hard for toph to find similar clothes here, which s the real problem though. money and confidence are certainly not stopping her.
would your muse wear the same outfit two days in a row if they knew they wouldn’t run into any of the same people?
toph would wear the same outfit for a week in a row well knowing they’re going to see people the fuck?
have they started dressing differently since arriving in washington? was the transition difficult? do they prefer the clothes here or back home? if your character is unaware feel free to answer as if they are aware.
toph wears stuff that’s more typical for washington rather than what she was wearing back home. it’s just easier to find, and honestly toph doesn’t mind the transition. there are a lot of comfortable clothes here, and since she isn’t fighting every day she doesn’t need to worry as much about wrapping herself
my added general description.
i made this edit pretty easily, and then got to these questions and lost my mind a little bit because, toph is obviously blind, and looks rarely concern her. toph knows how to make themselves look good, or at least societally acceptable, as a result of how she was born, but it’s not something toph cares about doing unless absolutely required. toph prioritizes comfort above all else, and being able to move easily in whatever she’s wearing. toph still does a decent amount of fighting and bending in the city, so full mobility is absolutely key. it’s mostly going to be a lazy girl vibe or workout clothes. toph is also particular to being bare footed so that she can use her earthbending on the ground, but since that’s not super acceptance she has shoes with the bottoms taken out, so it appears like they’re wearing shoes but the soles of their feet are still on the ground. toph tends to stick to greens and browns, not that she knows what they look like, but toph knows those are earth tones, and needs to represent her likes. she’s definitely sensitive to textures and sticks to simple cotton as much as possible. there is definitely some amount of tearing or dirt on just about all their clothes because of just how rough and tumblr they tend to be. it’s inevitable no matter how often things are washed.

extremely self indulgent au where instead of being destroyed, chaos sonic is reprogrammed by nine to be loyal to him. keyword him.
so when things fall out between nine and sonic, chaos goes along with nine and becomes his lackey. the roles are reversed, now a "tails" is the leader and a "sonic" is the follower.
and because I'm a rabid shard the metal sonic fan, maybe nine gives chaos a black coat of paint so he looks less like sonic (oh the painful memories!).

Chapter Preview
Sokka hadn’t realized that stopping by the Southern Air Temple would be quite so draining. But what else could he call the events of the day?
A non-bending Water Tribesman playing a century dead bending sport from an unknown culture against the Avatar himself? An untrained warrior trying to hide the remains of a genocide away from a far too observant young man searching for answers?
Not to mention Sokka was starving after Aang used all their meat for fuel. The others had even refused to let him hunt the stupid lemur in the creepy statue room!
And now, this.

❛  are you okay?  ❜ - Sokka for Toph
Toph remained silent for a bit. She pondered ignoring the question and pretending not to have heard him. It would've been obvious though, since it was almost eerily quiet around them with the others off to pick some things up.
Toph wasn't quite sure why she was upset. It wasn't like anything bad had happened lately. No, she had simply heard a man speak that sounded like her father at first. As he had continued to speak, she knew it wasn't him. It wasn't that she missed her parents, she had wanted to get out for so long. She just wished that they would have become more accepting of her, but deep down she knew they were incapable of that.
Tumblr media
"I'm okay..." At least, that was what she wanted to convince herself. A small sigh escaped her lips before she continued. "I don't know why I want them to change."

First come loves, then comes...a lot of complications that will repeatedly break your heart then make you laugh then cry then break your heart again before I hand you some glue so we can put back the pieces together. Also a bit of adventure, mystery, and a lot of mental healing.
Currently planned for 6 stories with an overarching plot and mystery through the whole series. Each story is designed to be read on its own as a standalone if you find the word count daunting.
Destiny is a Funny Thing
They thought they knew what their destinies were...save the world, become Fire Lord, maybe even fall in love along the way...But Destiny has a funny way of turning expectations into something you never dreamed possible. Maybe the story isn't your simple save the world and get the girl kind of tale. Maybe there's so much more to it than that. And maybe there can be more than one kind of happy ending...
Mark of the Trusted
This is part of a series, but each story is designed to be read as a standalone if you don't want to read everything.
In the two years after the war, the Gaang focuses on rebuilding their homes and spending time with family. Zuko struggles with guilt and worries about Azula's health, but for the first time in his life he has a large support system and a loving family around him at all times. A short story about love, healing, and learning to understand and support someone who is struggling with mental health.
Katara Alone
This is part of a series, but each story is designed to be read as a standalone if you don't want to read everything.
Three years after the war, Katara is studying healing in the North Pole when an incident abruptly makes her leave. Lost in a spiral of grief and guilt, she takes a detour into the Fire Nation alone, not willing to let her friends and family see her at her worst. When Zuko finds out she is missing he takes a trip to the North Pole to try and unravel the mystery Katara left behind.
Toph Alone
This is part of a series, but each story is designed to be read as a standalone if you don't want to read everything.
It's been years since Toph has seen her parents, but she always imagined reuniting with them under better circumstances. While her friends are either missing, preoccupied, or unavailable, a new law forces Toph back to Gaoling. Far away from the family she adopted, Toph must find a way to reconcile with her parents...or spend the next couple years of her life alone and on the run.
Aang Alone
Two years after the end of the war, Aang is plagued with constant headaches, sleepless nights, and an unexplainable hollow feeling in his chest. After two months of being unable to get into the Spirit World, a past avatar finally comes to him with a message: Go find Guru Pathik again and prepare himself for a future event that will change everything he knows about the world. In pain, desperate, and tired, Aang goes on a yearlong journey to find answers and healing and to answer the question: is he really the last airbender?

@levecoli​ said: Avatar Aang,Toph and Zuko would you three and your friends considering teaming up with unique and interesting heroes from different universes?
Tumblr media
"Unique heroes from another universe? Wow! Sounds very interesting! I wouldn't mind! The more new friends the better!"
Tumblr media
"That sounds tempting. But won't these new heroes bring new problems with them? I wouldn't want to be at war with someone again."
Tumblr media
"The unique heroes sound like a challenge! I'll be able to fight them and test my metal and earth magic on them! It'll be fun! But even if you don't fight them, it will be interesting to get to know the new universe!"
