Weirdlet

Fandom: Legend of Korra
Featuring:  Tahno, Yue.
The Prompt:  The first series says it was the Moon that taught waterbenders originally right? So somehow Yue's spiritual powers can override Amon taking it away. Her powers are limited though (maybe the balance of the world is slipping?), so she only restores Tahno's at first so he can assist the Avatar.
The Excuse-Me's:  Unbeta'd, dribbled out in a fever between trying to get to sleep without AC and waking up too early to do cleaning in order to replace AC.
The Fic:


( If you’re going to torture yourself, go big or go home... )

More on Princess Aksinya and her adventures with 'Prince' Shaan.

So, I need to figure out what these two actually get up to.  What are the stakes in their adventures?  And more importantly, why the hell is Aksinya's family willing/all fired up to get her out of the palace?

It's got something to do with the spirits, I think.  The fact that she's actually really pretty good at what she does with the family magics, to the point where she could perhaps make bargains of her own with some of the older, deeper, creepier ancestral monsters- how do you prevent your sub-chiefs from clamoring for war you don't want, if your daughter could actually raise up a kraken?  How do you excuse not using a member of the royal family to the fullest extent of their potential abilities?

Marry her off to a foreign barbarian and ritually/magically cut ties with her from the family magic, of course.  She'll still be able to scry a bit, sure- make water-drops dance along her fingers like a pickpocket with a coin.  But she won't be able to summon the sea-wolf, or the thunder-cliff horses, nor guide great fleets through ice or traverse the deep-sea waters and ask questions of the ancient things there.

There will be no blood-dark water-priestess at the head of a relentless army, bringing the sea and its creatures to salt the earth wherever she goes.

Huh- so that makes Aksinya our resident Prophesized Evil McGuffin, it would seem.  And her fiance may think this is a nasty trick that got played on her people, to fob off an assassin-baiting, god-troubling mage-hobbled witch on them- but she also likes Aksinya, a lot.  Certainly Shaan doesn't want to take the expedient route and kill her or hand her over- not only would that be an idiot's move for someone who doesn't want a conquering army devouring her folk, but it would be absolutely dishonorable not to protect her friend and partner.  There were words spoken.  She made a promise. 

So it's the open road for them.

The AU:  Sun Child, in which Princess Zura was pregnant when she was banished from the Fire Nation.  Now she roams the world with a child in tow, seeking the Avatar as the key to redemption- for her, and her daughter...

The Prompt/Summary:  You know what happens when people get on like a house on fire?  Flames, people screaming...

The Fic-

( "Did Jet just- die?" You know, that was really unclear..." )

The AU:  Sun Child, in which Princess Zura was pregnant when she was banished from the Fire Nation.  Now she roams the world with a child in tow, seeking the Avatar as the key to redemption- for her, and her daughter...

The Prompt/Summary:  (sorrysorrysorry!  I still aten't dead!)  Tales of Ba Sing Se part five- water on stone...

The Fic-

( Jet has never yet found an obstacle he couldn’t climb, dig under, sidestep, convince it was in their own best interest to move aside, or, in last resort, blow up with blasting jelly... )

...I find myself in desperate need of someone to talk fic & plot with, of the Custody Battles AU variety.  I'm used to working in a vacuum, but there comes a point (always, on every project) when one has to bite the bullet and go talk to people.

The problem comes when I've got separate bits I like, but can't find ways to bridge them together without getting repetitive or being paranoid that I'm writing myself into a corner.  I need to plan the arc, and that's not something I'm great at.  Once I've got the framework, the emotional details come easily- but in the meanwhile, I need a sounding board.

Posting this here because I keep finding bits missing where I've posted it in chunks on the Norsekink meme.

Title: Erosion
Fandom: Thor (2011)
Summary:  Response to a prompt asking for loving-father!Laufey's reaction to losing his child.  It turned into a prequel for the Custody Battle AU.
Warnings:  Mono-gendered giants, violence, weird ideas on courtship, and depressed!king in later bits.



( The passions of kings were played out on a scale far larger than those of a village warrior or clan chief. )

 
...



With further bits to follow.

So yeah, I have a thing for genderbending and genderblending, plus Marvel Norse gods and monsters.  And family drama, hoo boy, do I love that stuff.  This, once again, started as a mini-fill that got out of hand.  I have no idea where it ends or what to call it, but here 'tis for those that would enjoy it.



Fandom:  Marvel's Thor, Movieverse AU w/elements chucked in from the sides.

Genre:  Call it family drama

Title:  You're kidding, right?  I'll take suggestions.



Summary:  Based off a prompt on the Norsekink meme, in which Laufey leads a rebellion and fights Odin to a standstill.  The first thing demanded at the negotiation table?  The return of the Jotun-king's dearly wanted firstborn, Loki...



( At Asgard’s very gate, the howling of giants has ceased- )

The AU:  Sun Child, in which Princess Zura was pregnant when she was banished from the Fire Nation.  Now she roams the world with a child in tow, seeking the Avatar as the key to redemption- for her, and her daughter...

The Prompt/Summary:  Interlude in Ba Sing Se- a certain point of view from a business man.

The Fic-

( It wasn’t that the boy had notions of honor, no- )

……

I'm in massive cleaning mode, with a PC-nuking on the horizon.  I have both cons and LARP-dates coming up.  I'm feeling good and crazy-busy and haven't written a thing in months- you know what this means....

Meme time!  Ganked from one or more of beckyh2111, spyridona, darkpuck, and I think suzukiblu but that might be a secondhand gank at this point.  Anyway- list me an Avatar character or pairing, and I'll see what I can some up with for these ten different AUs.  Please bear in mind that I may be much slower in answering than others.

1. wild west:
2. cyberpunk:
3. furries:
4. pirates:
5. ...in SPACE!!:
6. born another gender:
7. schoolfic:
8. police/firefighterspick your poison (and specify please!):
9. urban fantasy:
10. harem:

Meme Is Closed!  Thank you, everyone, for your prompts and your patience- I'll work through these, it just may take a bit.

Okay, folks- I got art I need to be doing, stories I'm working on but which aren't gelling, and some things have been said that are setting me off in a 'yeah, you're right!' direction.  SO.  What we have here, is a Jetko meme.  I get to work on one of my favorite pairings whilst trying to get more into their heads (Jet in particular is a slippery bugger), and we all get some hot starcrossed boy-love.  Or hate.  Whatever you like.

Give me a prompt, a sentence, a song, whatever; any AU/universe in progress you like, just so long as you keep to this restriction- no rape.

Two prompts per person, promise of one ficbit, standard not-very-fast warning applies.

Do have at it!
