Dao, That’s the first word any of us gets from you in a year? You’re lucky I’m dreadfully bored and have nothing better to do than write a response.
[ID: A digital illustration of Mai seated at a table with a letter in front of her. She is resting her head in one hand and is holding up a katar dagger in the other. The blade is a gradient of white to red with black tendrils spreading up from the hilt. She is staring at the katar with a hint of a smile. /end ID]
Learning to Fly: Dispersing Ripples Chapter Two
Zuko’s crew joined together to get him a birthday present that will help his quest for the Avatar. Here’s a glimpse into the mastermind of the plan and his motivations…
if these images don’t make you feel overcome with emotion, you probably haven’t read chapter 10 of @zukkababey‘s Zukka fic, That Midnight Sky.
if you aren’t reading That Midnight Sky, what’s stopping you??????
with this fic, rachel has crafted one of the most incredible slow burns i have ever read. the chemistry and the tension between her Sokka and Zuko are SO well-done, and they’re increased so incrementally that reading it really feels like you’re experiencing the feeling of falling in love yourself. it’s adorable and hilarious and heartbreaking and heartwarming in just the right amounts. it’s a fake dating fic, but it’s also SOOO much more than that. and the best thing is the fic is already fully written, so it’s going to be complete on AO3 in a matter of days!
i could talk for about 100k about this fic, but i think it’s better if you just read it yourself - i promise you won’t regret it!
i started listening to Taylor Swift because i love that edit of sweet Zuko smiling softly and tenderly holding a copy of Lover and now i finally understand the titles to everyone's fics
YAY A CONVERT!
But seriously, you KNOW a fic is going to be good if the title is a Taylor Swift lyric. Here are just a FEW that I’ve read (and I know there are thousands more that I haven’t read!)
You Made Your Mark on Me. / ‘Til the Gravity’s Too Much by me!

IM SHOUTING THIS IS SO GOOD WTF ZUKO’S ANGSTY LITTLE FACE AND ZI SE’S MESSY LITTLE HAIR WTF DO YOU MEAN ‘too shy to draw anything’ THIS IS ✨ART✨
✨I did it✨
I’ve always been too shy to draw anything but FUCK IT here they are 🧍♀️ (also, I used @herebutnotpresent s drawings of Zi Se as my references cause they were so good like HDGD)
for anyone reading The Art of Burning by @hella1975, here is an essay i actually wrote and submitted in my English II Honors class (taught by Canadian Man) about the theme of gender roles and masculinity as it presents in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe compared to The Art of Burning by hella1975
@hella1975 I’ve always had a soft spot for surrogate dads but a whole SQUAD of surrogate dads???? A great blessing I never knew I needed. Thank you. I just have one request. Please destroy the ponytail I can’t do it, I can’t handle egg head Zuko I’m begging you-
back on my wtwt bullshit because elle’s writing made me believe in love again and is full of absolutely gorgeous imagery. sokka in traditional water tribe designs + zukos all black ensemble? the star festival in ch.3 has lived in my head rent-free for a week
if you haven’t read it already, Wooing the Water Tribe by @dameferre. it’s hilarious, beautiful, and changed me as a person
Sokka wants to take a day off from high school. To do that, he’s concocted a plan to pull it off. (He’s the Plan Guy.) He talks Zuko into taking his father’s prized Ferrari for a joyride. Together, they head into Republic City for the day with Suki to have some fun.
(Or, an Avatar: The Last Airbender retelling of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.)
[pre-Zukka, Sokka/Suki]
Zuko decides to fight Azula in the Crystal Catacombs. This sets of a sequence of events that leads to Zuko being Aang's tour guide through the Fire Nation. While together, the GAang and Zuko get to know each other better while learning about each other's cultures. Zuko and the GAang bond and become closer than any of them could have predicted, but that might not be enough to save them from the terrors waiting ahead.
