gemkazoni1) Request a drabble using the following format!
Pairing: [any pairing of your choice! if you'd prefer to request a character or group, feel free to change 'pairing' to 'character(s)'.]
Rating: [your preferred rating. example: if you aren't wanting any extreme making out and/or bloody violence, list your rating as PG. Nothing above R, though, please.]
Prompt: [can be anything. A word, a situation, a song, poetry, etc. Be creative!]
2) Look at the other requests, and fulfill any that strike your fancy! When doing so, in the title of your comment, please write:
[title of your drabble] (pairing/character, rating)
That's really all there is to it. :D
Is it okay to request/write drabbles that deal with events occurring in episodes that haven't officially aired yet? (such as: Western Air Temple, The Firebending Masters, and The Boiling Rock)
As of right now, yes. But please post a spoiler warning at the beginning of the drabble. That way, readers can scroll past easily if wanting to remain unspoiled. But what about after these episodes air? As a sign of common courtesy, please still make a quick mention of any spoilers for all episodes aired this week. Any drabbles/requests that do not follow these rules will be deleted!
Are any pairings not allowed?
Nope! You can request anything and everything!
Even slash/femslash/incest/etc?
Yep! Seriously, don't hesitate. If other people don't like it, they don't have to read it/write for it. Simple as that.
What if I'm wanting a purely friendshippy drabble (as in, nothing romantic?)
No problem! Just make sure to state that in your request.
Am I allowed more than one request?
Definitely! That's what's going to keep this going. Come back again and again!
If I have more than one request, should I post them all in one comment?
No. Please, make a different comment for each separate request. This makes it easier for people to reply to a prompt, as well as for archiving purposes.
If I make a request, do I HAVE to fill one?
It certainly would be nice of you to. After all, this meme won't amount to much without participation. But it's not required, and don't feel pressured to keep your number of requests and number of drabbles equal. This is supposed to be fun!
Uh oh! A request I want to write for has already been filled!
No worries! There's no limit on how many people can write for one request.
ZOMG! Someone's requesting [insert pairing here]! I hate that stupid pairing! Can I cause a ruckus over it?
Please don't. People like what they like -- nothing you say or do is going to change anyone's mind. Basically, if you wanna get mad, then do it somewhere else. Any rude comments or flames are going to be dealt with severely.
Are crossovers with other fandoms allowed?
No, not this time. Sorry!
Can I pimp this meme at my community/journal/website/etc?
Are you kidding? PIMP THE HELL OUT OF IT. Get your friends involved!
When does this end?
Never! Well, maybe not, but let's keep it going as long as we can! I'm hoping it can last through this week, what with all the frenzy over the finale. We shall see!

[Miscalculation] [Long Feng; G]
Date: 2008-07-14 03:24 am (UTC)But then, after allying himself with the Princess Azula, expecting to be the one doing the betraying, only to have her betray him first...that was something completely different.
On that day, she stole everything from him. His power, his moral, everything he'd worked his entire life for, building himself up higher and higher until he was second only to the king...all of that was stolen in one fell sweep, and he was left with nothing, not even the meanest pauper could compare to his sorry state.
Sitting in a dank prison cell, betrayed by his very own Dai Li agents whom he had once controlled, Long Feng knew that he had never sunken so low as he did now. He kept asking himself, how? How had this happened? How did he allow himself to become so shortsighted when it came to the Princess Azula?
He had underestimated her, and that had cost him everything.
Then again, perhaps Princess Azula had underestimated him. Leaving Ba Sing Se in the capable hands of Joo Dee must have seemed like an excellent idea to her at the time. Long Feng, however, knew better. He knew he was meant for things far greater than mere mortals, far greater than the Fire Nation Princess. Perhaps things did have a way of coming full circle after all, he figured to himself, as he looked at the woman standing before him in his cell.
"Joo Dee, the Earth King invites you to Lake Laogai."

[Therapy Session] [Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko - G]
Date: 2008-07-14 03:38 am (UTC)The others didn't even seem to notice he had gone, they were all too busy glaring at each other silently to notice any absences or abnormalities. He took a big breath, preparing his therapist voice, and then cleared his throat loudly. "It seems like you're all in need of a therapy session."
Aang, Katara, and Zuko all turned towards him. Aang simply looked confused. Katara shot him daggers. Zuko seemed to just look horrified at the voice and the fake beard. Toph didn't turn but firmly stomped the ground, and suddenly the rock beneath him stubbed his toes. She was the first to speak. "Don't think for a second that I'll put up with any of that nonsense!"
"Yeah, Sokka... That didn't work so well the last time we tried it, remember? And there's nothing even wrong here, we're all perfectly fine!" Aang insisted, looking to the others for confirmation.
Katara and Zuko looked incredulously at him, but Toph flopped to the ground and leaned against a boulder. "I'm with Twinkle Toes. Everything is fine. Don't talk in that stupid voice."
"Yeah! Toph is right. And lose the beard, would you? You're reminding me of my uncle. This whole thing is just weird!" Zuko exclaimed, waving his arms around. "Who asked you to get into our business, anyway?"
Katara's fury was fueled by Zuko's rhetorical question. "Yeah! Don't you have yourself to worry about!? Leave us alone."
Sokka backed up, holding his hands out in front of him. "Hey, hey. I mean no harm. Just want to smooth everything over, right? And hey! You're my sister, you're supposed to be on my side!"
Katara started, but Aang cut her off. "Katara is an excellent judge of character! She picks her sides well! Just take off the beard, Sokka, and go to bed already."
Sokka sighed, and ripped off the fake beard. "Fine, fine. Pretend you didn't need me!" He turned and began to walk away, sneaking around a long way to hide behind a pillar and watch their talk. The four of them were all being friendly now, talking trash about him together. He frowned, wishing they could like each other without having to use him to ridicule.
"Oh well," he said to himself as he made his way to his bed, "Small price to pay."

Date: 2008-07-14 03:53 am (UTC)[Effort] [Mai/Katara, PG]
Date: 2008-07-14 04:14 am (UTC)She could tell that Mai was watching her, too. What was she thinking? Did she enjoy the waterbender for who she was, or could she just not get over an exotic beauty? The Fire Nation was mostly pale eyes and skin, but was a darker complexion and bright eyes really that thrilling?
As if she needed any more reason to dislike him, Zuko seemed to share her feelings on Mai. She knew they'd been together before, but she had been beginning to hope that maybe it was all over.
Katara knew that she didn't really have much of a chance. She barely even knew Mai, and she didn't see the older girl ever making much effort to get to know her better. And if she wouldn't do that, was she really worth fighting for?
So Katara made half the effort. She'd start up conversations, try to include Mai in whatever they were doing. But the vocal interest was never returned. Just lingering glances and the occasional slipped smile.
Zuko was willing to make all of the effort. And since he was willing to do the work for the both of them, it seemed it was an easy choice for Mai to choose him.
Katara tried to convince herself she was glad, that she didn't want a relationship that would be so difficult on all levels. But she was upset, because apparently she wasn't worth the extra energy. If Mai had initiated connection, even just once, Katara would have gladly been hers.

[true love] (Zuko/Katara PG)
Date: 2008-07-14 05:38 am (UTC)For
Katara sat there holding his hand.
She never before felt such a strong need to pray to someone. But in this moment as she felt all the life being sucked out of her and her true love drifting farther and farther away from the land of the living she wanted something to lean on that was bigger then herself.
But she didn't believe in a god, so she couldn't pray. She had nothing. Nothing but there true love. Hers and Zuko's stronger and purer then anyones love had ever and would ever be.
"Zuko,?" She whispered. "You can't leave me. Dont! I love you to much!"
Katara laid her head down onto his chest.
His heart beat was slow, but there.
Soon the sound of her muffled crying filled her ears and then she noticed she couldn't hear his heart any more.
She sat up.
"NO!" She screamed. She put her lips on his, hopefully not for the last time and even more hopefully not again under these pretenses.
She pushed all her air into him.
She tried to resuscitate him.
"Please," she sobbed. "Don't go, Zuko." Katara wept.
Katara laid onto his chest to hopefully hear his heartbeat, and silent tears trickled down onto him.
It was awhile before she felt something touch her hair. Stroking it gently.
She felt like she had been asleep, felt vulnerbal like you did when you cried and mourned.
"Katara?" A whisper faintly fell to her ears.
"Zuko?" Tears of love fell off her face.
"Why are you crying my love?"
"Oh Zuko, I'm so glad you're okay."
She kissed him gently.
"I told you," He whispered. "Death can't stop true love."

Date: 2008-07-14 06:07 am (UTC)[Spoilers for The Boiling Rock!]
The cell is cold, and she can't tell if she's still breathing, if sunlight still exists in a room, a world without. She traces thin fingers through each curve in the stone, waits and waits and waits.
On the fourth day: a hand, calloused, settles in her hair. "Mai," a small voice whispers, and she doesn't know what to say, so she just reaches up, brushes her fingertips along Ty Lee's wrists, and the girl sighs, suddenly at ease.
On the ninth day: Ty Lee grips her hand, so hard that she can feel it in her chest, along the low of her back. "I think I'm alone," the girl says to no one in particular, and Mai can't see her face but she thinks the girl is smiling, smiling, as though it is all but a dream.
"I dreamt of colors last night," Ty Lee says, almost desperately. "Red, and purple, and -- pink. There's still pink, isn't there?"
Mai looks to her. She can barely see the color, tattered, smudged, curving along the girl's hips.
She turns away.
On the fourteenth day: she has to ask.
"Why?"
There's no need to say more. Ty Lee's eyes sink through all the darkness, threads of gray glimmering, reminding her of hazy sunlight.
"She was going to hurt you," Ty Lee says softly, innocently, as though it's obvious. "She went too far -- oh, Mai, she went too far. Weren't we all friends once? How could she ever ---"
Her voice trails off, caught up in a dry sob that seems to pierce the air itself. Mai has never heard Ty Lee cry, not once, and it is too much, too soon, too real. She reaches over; smudges her nail across the tear that's sliding down the girl's neck.
"My hero," is all she says, dryly, and when Ty Lee falls against her, it is enough.

Open If You Know How To See; Toph/Aang, PG-13
Date: 2008-07-14 07:55 am (UTC)“I dare you.” And that put an end to all his protests, for even in the three years since the war their little tribe had never ceased to take dares as the most serious of challenges. The heat from his blush made her toes press harder into the ground, but her voice stayed steady when she continued. “And don´t give me any guff about Sweetness seeing and disapproving, you know she and Sparky are taking their own sweet time about getting back tonight, and you know just why, too.”
“Toph! You can´t think anything is happening between Katara and Zuko, after they´ve told us so many times that they´re just good friends!”
“Don´t be so blind, Twinkle Toes! And don´t try to change the subject, are you taking my dare or not?”
He thought about this an uncomfortably long time, and she tried to forget how thoughtful the war had made them all. This was a moment for her to just do, without thinking, and she wouldn´t let him take it away.
“Only if I get to give one,” was his eventual reply.
“Done deal. Now strip.”
“Toph! At least turn around.”
“It´s not like I´ll be able to see anything, genius.” But she obliged anyway.
And she did see, through her own mode of seeing, how he also turned his back; how gingerly he set down his staff; how quickly he took off the large-wide thing he wore on top; how he hesitated and then danced around pulling off his bottoms. When he turned back to her she knew that he´d left on that last layer that he wore even while waterbending or just plain swimming, but the dare hadn´t necessarily included naked so she didn´t complain. Not that she didn´t want to, but Toph Bei Fong understood as well as anyone about choosing your words carefully and expecting them to be followed to the letter.
“There, are you satisfied?” he asked almost immediately.
“I can´t see them yet, so no.” She walked directly over to him and held out her hand, demanding without a word that he finish what he´d started. He took it, sighed, and placed her palm at the top of his head. She lightly ran it up and down his brow, then used her fingertips to brush the lines that made his first arrow, trailing them down past where it ended to push in his nose.
She said, “Are you ready for me to see the rest?”
He nodded, a movement so slight it only resonated in her toes. But then he pulled her hand back up his forehead and slid the palm across his shaved head. When it reached the neck, she moved herself around until she was standing behind him, and disengaged their hands. Her toes curled involuntarily as she felt his heartbeat speed up. She trailed her fingers down his nape to his back, then lightly feathered them to the left and to the right, following the slightly raised bands across his shoulderblades and back to his spine. She smiled to herself when he shivered, a smile she knew he couldn´t see that revealed motives she was sure he hadn´t guessed. She gripped his arms and let her callused palms slide down them in a spiral, feeling the tattoos and his goosebumps at the same time. When she was holding his hands she pulled first one then the other behind his back, holding them together with her left hand while tracing his second and third arrows with her right thumbnail. And her feet wanted to dance when they felt his heartbeat beginning to pound through the ground to them.

Date: 2008-07-14 08:47 am (UTC)Then suddenly she dropped into a crouch, letting his hands go in favor of grabbing his feet. Her knuckles skimmed arrows four and five, and she couldn´t resist saying, “No wonder I can hardly feel you walk sometimes, you´ve got tiny little feet! I should´ve called you Tiny Toes.”
“As long as they´re strong it doesn´t matter their size,” he said, and he couldn´t quite keep his voice steady. She kept her face turned down and her smile small but triumphant.
As she ran her hands up his legs she worked her way around to kneel in front of him, and pulled him slightly toward her when the bands went behind his thighs. She could hear him swallowing several times, and she wondered what he was getting ready to say that needed so much preparation. Then her attention was entirely on the heat that was radiating out of his skin and the pounding she could now feel in the bottom of her stomach as well as her feet.
When she finally stood up, and her hands finished their journey at the spot on his lower back that was raised but not smooth, that was scored and rough as though the burn had never quite healed, she pulled him all the way toward her and asked, “So what´s your dare then?”
“I dare you to be as honest about your feelings all the time as you were just now.” And he kissed the smart reply right out of her mouth.

Under The Moonlight [Zuko/Katara, PG]
Date: 2008-07-14 04:24 pm (UTC)It was on a night like that, when no one was awake to hear them, that their conversation somehow turned to death. Katara was talking about all the places she wanted to go before she died, all the people she’d like to meet, when Zuko interrupted with, “I just want to fall in love before I die.”
They both froze as Zuko blinked and realized what he’d said. He mentally cursed himself for being so damn vulnerable—it was the lack of sleep—when he heard a timid voice ask, “But what about Mai?”
He frowned slightly and shook his head, rubbing at the back of his neck. “Mai . . . Mai was . . . a distraction. I cared about her, I guess, but it wasn’t love. Not really.”
“Do you think you’ll ever fall in love?”
Zuko turned his head to keep from looking at her. “I hope so.”
Gently, tentatively, a small, soft hand came to rest on his, and a hand leaned on his shoulder. Just as cautiously, he lifted an arm and curled it around her waist. They both relaxed as she sighed and snuggled closer; no other words were spoken that night, abandoned in favor of the light from the moon and the stars and the shriek from Aang when he found them still cuddled together in the morning.
Hopefully that was okay >_>
