Temptation and Other Natural Disasters
Tropey fun enemies-to-lovers Zutara A/B/O 'oh no, she's going into heat!' fic featuring aged-up book one characters. Alpha Zuko trying to be honorable about the situation. Omega Katara trying to not be into that. A little angst, mostly hornt.
4/8 chapters - Explicit, obvs
Chapter 4: In which Katara takes us on a tour of Egypt's most famous river
Oh no. No, no, no. This is not good. Zuko is not allowed to be sexy. "...I can barely keep my hands to myself right now. You know exactly how much I want to stop being nice and noble and selfless." His voice is weird and raspy, it's not supposed to sound thick and rich like warm honey. This whole thing he's doing? Telling her what she already knows like he can read her mind, turning her own words back on her? It's unacceptable. "And now, I know you want that too," the smug bastard says, and then smirks at her. Smirks. As if that's some brilliant deduction. As if he just delivered a winning argument in favor of Katara opening her robes and letting him put those big stupid hands on her feverish skin and pull her restless body tight to his stupid muscled chest so she can press her nose into the source of that obnoxiously rich scent. He smells like the manliest, most self-satisfied autumn bonfire ever lit, and it's not as persuasive as he thinks it is.
Chapter 4 on Ao3

Okay who's gonna be my homoerotic best friend who's also j as sexy and hot as me and we go on adventures together and everyone ships us but it will never be canon cause we're both in a straight relationship with partners that we have little to no chemistry with that diminishes both partners character potential to just a sad hetero relationship to stop the gays
#what if i j tag literally every gay ship like this i can think of#drarry#kara x lena#jason todd x roy harper#wolfstar#kind of#sambucky#tony stark x stephen strange#timkon#im trying so hard to think of more wlw but all my favs r canon#klance#zukka#tho suki and sokka were cute but like mei and zuko had no chemistry for me#destiel

jetko is all about that “oh no he’s hot” moment and i find that very humorous actually
#jet trying so hard to hate this man but ends up just angrily pining the whole time#also zuko being like “this mf keeps trying to ruin things for me and my uncle and he’s stalking us” but then. he’s hot#enemies AND lovers#10x better when zuko is going through his first gay crisis with this boy#atla#jetko

I've seen so many comments insulting aang for being bald and not being "hot" enough for Katara?? And it's honestly so.. disrespectful?? Aang shaves his head because it's HIS culture as an air nomad? His entire race was wiped out and he's the only one who could preserve it?? And Katara ACCEPTS that and loves him for it. Bashing that is basically insulting his culture. So fucking insane.
Not everyone goes for a relationship just bc someone is "hot" that's basically projecting YOUR mindset of what's worthy for Katara and what's not, into Katara herself.
So as long as someone is "hot" they are morally a better romantic match than someone who isnt? Yeah right, pretty privilege is SO real when you look at claims like this.
#I honestly like zutara as a ship too but wtf is this take#Realistically Zuko was bald too lol#Also what's up with ppl judging children cartoon characters as 'not hot' like they're fucking 12-16 what.#You can hate kataang without making these out of pocket insults about aang and his culture sheesh#Aang is not the ugly predator villian y'all try so hard to make him out to be.#atla#avatar the last airbender#aang#avatar aang#atla aang#katara#atla katara#the gaang#kataang#atla kataang

thinking about the dragon cursed zuko au... thinking about the way that Katara, Sokka, and Aang start out thinking of Zuko as a monster. and then they actually start to get to know him, and they gradually begin to learn that despite what he looks like, he's just... awkward, mostly. yeah, he has the mother of all anger management problems, but he's not scary. he's not a monster.
but they learn that zuko thinks of himself as one.
and that just makes their stomachs twist. because they thought of him as one for a long time, but it just... never occurred to them that zuko might think of himself that same way. and that's just awful. because they've come to understand that it's not true. that he's not a monster, but zuko?
they're not sure if they can make zuko believe that about himself.
(thankfully, they don't need to try. they just need to stay by his side.)
#dragon cursed zuko au#airbender zuko has the worst self-esteem issues but be assured!#dragon cursed zuko is HOT on his heels#hard not to think of yourself as a monster when you can so easily hurt people without trying

The possible hilarity of Jet and Zuko having parallel domestication arcs in Ba Sing Se. Just Iroh trying to teach an ex-prince who lived the last few months in the middle of nowhere and a guy who's spent his entire life breaking the law to help people while raising 20 kids in the woods to be normal citizens™
#avatar: the last airbender#avatar#avatar the last airbender au#atla#jet#jet avatar#jet atla#jet avatar the last airbender#See Zuko having a hard time in customer service? Imagine JET. He knows how to keep a calm face but there's a limit#Zuko: Uncle this rich guy insulted us for being refugees so I stole his wallet#Jet: That's nothing. Completely unrelated to that we have a pet ostrich horse now#Iroh trying so hard not vaporize his tea: Boys. We have discussed this.

Sorry if you’ve answered this before but do you have any idea of how many chapters into the fire will end up being or how the ending will pan out? (Also I love you and the world you’ve created thanks for being awesome <333)
I have answered this before, but I feel it changes day to day lol… ITF is about ummm halfway? It will absolutely be the largest fic of the three, but it has to be in order to bring this thing to a proper close. I could realistically do a fourth book but fuck it I am sticking to the original plan of three. I have the ending completely planned and most of the epilogue figured out as well… I will admit the only thing I don’t have completely planned out is the nitty-gritty details that tend to unfold as the story happens? So as the battle begins who knows how characters will react or what emotions will come up so I like to keep things loose with that to give the characters room to breathe.
But yeah! I do have an ending and I have all the MAJOR events planned, so any twists & turns along the way are already set in motion :)
(I love you thank you for sending me this ask you’re amazing)
#I wasn’t planning on doing this long of a ‘healing arc’#but honestly we worked so damn hard to get here I am really enjoying the characters interacting#Sokka was also freaking the fuck out for a while and Zuko refused to speak so now that we’re moving a LITTLE past that…#its more fun!#Like this next chapter is like… oddly wholesome?#There is laughter#& people enjoying themselves#smiling! Sun is fucking SHINING!#IT IS A DAMN GOOD DAY TO VISIT THE FUCKING MARKET#sorry i got excited haha#but yeah I’m trying not to stress about word count or making it too long or whatever because well… fanfic#this is my fic and I can do whatever I want I decided lol#not that I couldn’t before but I am trying not to stress about it haha#OK SO YEAH I HOPE YOU ENJOY I AM EXCITED WE HAVE SOME BATTLE PREPERATIONS TO GO! AHHHH#thanks for the ask seriously you’re great#irisviews73#leaving it all behind#LIAB#ITF#ask

Toko/Zutoph seems like it would be a nice years-long slow burn that builds up over time post-war.
Slow burn post-canon Toko is soooo good!
#avatar the last airbender#thoughts#toko#toph x zuko#toph beifong#zuko#toph is trying so hard and zuko is just an oblivious idiot who Does Not Get it#and then eventually she just gives up on subtlety and bangs him over the head with it#and he's just like 'i may be stupid'#otp: that's how i show affection#thanks for the ask!#all queued up

dr. bonefall i am obsessed with your dotc reread. i read dotc ~4ish years ago and remembered hating it but not quite understanding why & so this is both genuinely really excellent analysis and also WICKED cathartic. also the graywing bootlicking post is making me SHAKE laughing. thank you for your service o7
I'm glad that I'm able to put into words exactly why this arc bothers people so badly, especially Gray Wing's behavior. A lot of folks don't really 'get' the hate because they 1. haven't read the arc or, more charitably, 2. Took his constant defense of Clear Sky at face value and didn't realize just how uncomfortable it becomes
But WOW this arc is rancid, and we haven't even really gotten into how fucking bad the "redemption arc" is.
In particular though I hope I'm pointing out how bad Tall Shadow's treatment is. It gets lost in how ROTTEN the rest of the arc is, but she is another victim of the writers HATING women so bad it makes them look stupid. I really hope that's a takeaway alongside Gray Wing Not Good and Bumble Deserves Better.
and also. Make no mistake. Clear Sky is the worst part of this arc and possibly the worst character that the Erins have ever written, which is an achievement in a sea of garbage cats
#Imagine if Firelord Ozai just decided he was good now and Iroh was trying to smooth it over with Zuko#Like ''yes he burned your face off but it's because he was protective because losing your mom was really hard''#''he actually just wanted to murder everyone in the earth kingdom so that no one would starve to death''#''being firelord was just too much responsibility for him he was a good boy when we were kids''

Zuko really quickly pardoning himself for his crimes before he finishes his next sentence
Ok but Zuko using the knowledge he acquired during his banishment to help him as the Fire Lord. Like making small talk with Earth Kingdom dignitaries about their local foods that he enjoyed and even misses. Like having in-depth conversations with his captains about sea currents and navigation. Like, in the middle of a meeting with several high-ranking naval officials, pointing out flails in security, like how a person can cling to a Fire Nation ship for hours at a time, or climb aboard using hatches on the upper decks, or disguise themselves as a lower ranking guard with easily accessible spare armour….
Though none of his experiences can prepare Zuko for the long, awkward silence that comes after he admits to doing or at least knowing something illegal and/or completely buck wild
#atla#zuko#people think this new fire lord will be no trouble#he was banished since baby days they shall run political rings around him#all of them forgetting he was banished with CROWN PRINCE IROH#and has personally met damn near everyone#even if he did piss most of them off#zuko’s blunt and straight forward and earnest and will deadass just say ‘oh did you mean x’#and yet he’s so obviously trying so hard#foreign dignitaries actually kinda enjoying spending time with him it’s very relaxing#whatever he’s planning he will probably just tell you cuz it saves time#underhanded machinations who
