Batfamily and Chronicles of Narnia AU

Dick Jason Tim and Damian

Dick as Peter. Finding himself and siblings being thrown into this unknown world with talking british animals and this fake ahh Grover from Percy Jackson puts him in eldest sibling mode as soon as their feet hit the snow.

Jason as pessimistic oldest sister Susan is just chef kisses 🤌🏽. He would pretend he’s not impressed and filled with childlike wonder for the land of Narnia. Acting like he’s not the same kid that was all, “Robin is magic ✨”

Aslan would be bestowing great words of wisdom and encouragement to each sibling before going into battle. Just for Jason to go “Bro think he Alfred or something 🤨?? Smh..” after his turn.

(Also Jason’s big ole tank self having to crouched down and hunch over in the Beaver couple’s house makes this even better)

And so by default ..Tim is Edmund. I feel like instead of Tim being manipulated by the Winter Witch with gifts and such, he’d be trying to play double agent on her.

Making it seem like he’s just a dumb kid who will play into her hand while secretly gathering intel for himself, and later on for the Narnia revolution. Tim still being Tim by making his questionable decisions and sacrifices but, in the name of the greater good.

Damian being the equivalent to Lucy is hilarious. Damian would love talking to the animals. He’d love having tea with Mr.Tumnus, traveling with the Beaver Couple, and most of all Aslan. Riding on Aslan’s back would his highlight of the whole journey. Aslan’s death would hit hard for all the boys but, Damian the most.

Honestly if the plot allowed i’d want the WHOLE batfam here. They’d have the whole eternal winter and wicked queen thing wrapped up in a day or two.

Also I’d like to considering putting Cass in the place of Damian as Lucy from a chronological (She was introduced into the fam before him) pov.

Like Cass getting a healing potion and tiniest knife, in the Santa Claus scene. Receiving the least deadly present out of all their gifts while she, herself being the most deadly out of all the siblings would be just 🤌🏽

[pevensiechase]

Uh...hi??

Okay, why am I posting this like anybody is ever gonna read it?

But yeah. Hello there!

I'm pevensiechase!

My Ao3 username is Alexa_Etman, so I guess you can call me Alexa or Lexa. Heck, I'll even take Al. I s'ppose you could also call me "pevvie" or "chase", but it doesn't sound as natural. Edit: my family tumblr tree calls me "Lexi" <3

I'm very new to tumblr, so bear with me.

I'm apart of a family tree on tumblr

I write fanfiction, but I also dabble in fanart and graphic design (this usually consists of half-baked animatics, character line art, playlist covers, and book covers).

I do take commissions, but I have a life outside of tumblr, so I can't promise that they'll be speedy. Also, please keep everything PG.

Currently, I'm apart of these fandoms:

DC (Batfamily specifically)

Dsmp Qsmp

Star Wars (I don't like the sequels, but I won't come at you if you like them)

Clone Wars

Hunger Games

Lord of the Rings

Narnia

Percy Jackson

MCU

Keeper of the Lost Cities

All my art will be tagged with "my art", and all my random posts will be tagged as "mine" and "random thoughts"

Edit:

Other Tags: "alexa's takes" (stuff i say), "alexa's tags" (tag games), "alexa's asks" (asks), "alexa creates" (art/writing), “pevensie’s poetry” (for poetry, usually stuff I write in the tags), "lexi verse" is all things related to my writing/other AUs

My handle for Ao3 is the same (@pevensiechase). And yeahhhh. Feel free to drop by anytime, I guess.

Have a great day! 🪶

[margaretthotcher]

My Brain wouldn't stop so here are more fic titles and ideas for some of them:

I love you (it's ruining my life)

Who's gonna hold you like me?

We're modern idiots - Modern Methur - Alternatively, Merlin and Immortal! Leon Vibin' in the 21st century waiting for Arthur, antics ensue.

Put me back on the shelf

Fuck it if I can't have him

My good name (it's mine alone to disgrace) - Supercorp fic with lena as the POV character. Explores her relationship and disapproval of lex and her reclamation of the name Luthor

Scandal does funny things to pride (but brings lovers closer - Someone suggested FirstPrince and absolutely yes please

I did my time

Camera flashes, welcome bashes, get the matches (toss the ashes off the bridge)

No one asks any questions here - Downton abbey, after the first movie, Thomas and Ellis visit a safer bar

It's one hell of a drug

Who's afraid of little old me (you should be) - BAMF Merlin - Lucy Gray - Jason Todd

You wouldn't last an hour (the asylum I was raised in) - Jason to the rest of the Batfamily about crime alley

I told em he's my man

What a valiant roar (what a bland goodbye)

Lights, camera, bitch, smile - 9-1-1 buck is an actor AU, child actor with lots of pressure from his parents. Maybe Chris is brought in as a child actor on a show he's on and that's how Buddie meet?!?

You didn't measure up (in any measure of a man)

In fifty years, will all this be declassified? - Steve and Bucky's letters from the war are released in the aftermath of the winter soldier

Is it a wonder I broke (let's hear one more joke) - Buck lawsuit fic

Who are we to fight the alchemy? - Harry Potter something

This town is fake but you're the real thing - Another option for that 9-1-1 actor AU

Half moonshine, a full eclipse - Wolfstar

the circus life made me mean - Dick Grayson compares his childhood in the circus to growing up in Gotham high society. High society and tabloids are the 'circus' from the title. Years on he does his best to protect his siblings from them

Old habits die (Screaming)

Only liquor anoints you - Bobby's struggles with alcoholism and catholicism explored please

Sitting in a tree (D-Y-I-N-G)

Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? (Kill me) - Merthur established relationship but Arthur doesn't know about the magic, merlin agonises about telling him

What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time

No sign of soulmates - Any Fandom soulmate AU, the couple are not soulmates both their soulmates died young but they find home in eachother any way

When the truth comes out it's quiet - The team finding out about how Dick was S/A'd and then blamed for it

What doesn't kill you makes you aware (what happens if it becomes who you are?) - Buck figuring out who he is outside all his trauma. (Spoiler, it's Chris's second dad)

In closets like cedar (the shelf life of those fantasies has expired) - Any of the Pevensie children, but especially Susan. Could be generic but since it's closet instead of wardrobe, I am picturing one of them being openly queer in Narnia and then returning to the 1940s and realizing they can't be anymore.

There's escape in escaping

(Looking backwards) might be the only way to move forward

The second best thing about a new taylor swift album is all the fic titles we just gained

[spock-smokes-weed]

Narnia au for the batkids when????

[fantastic-nonsense]

got tagged in this game so:

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

All of my WIPs are fics so....here we go. I'm not posting all of them because that would take literally forever (as I detailed here, I have 30+ WIPs in various stages of completion, though I haven't posted anything in years), but here are the majority

Edit: if someone's already asked about them, I've linked the answer.

DCU/Young Justice:

Bruce, Harvey, and the RY1 Aftermath Fic

Damian & Tim Time Travel Fic

Dick and Donna-5 Stages of Grief Fic

Donna and Tim Space-Time Road Trip Fic

Jason Paranormal Detective Agency WIP

Leave Me and Live (Jason)

Miscellaneous Batfam Fic Ideas

The Bruce Wayne Religion Discourse Fic

The Rise of Oracle

Tim is the Batfamily's Heart

To Look For Herself in the Sunrise (Cass)

Apprentice AU

Those Left Behind

And...most of the others that I actually consider to be WIPs (and not just "ideas I have that I might theoretically get around to writing):

Control (ATLA/Legend of Korra)

The Never Weres (Doctor Who)

Our Father (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Kanej Love Language Fic (Six of Crows)

on the seas and in the city (Six of Crows)

the Forced to Choose Fic (Six of Crows)

September recs

Bit of a sparse set this month (but full of longfic!), as I went down a nostalgia and fandoms-I-don’t-bother-with-canon-for and re-reading binge. 3 for The Untamed, 2 Boku no Hero Academia, 1 Nirvana in Fire, 1 Chronicles of Narnia, and 1 DCU/Batfamily fic.

THE UNTAMED

Stay With Me by Toshokanin

Lan Zhan has been working at the public library for three years the first time he meets the most beautiful man he has ever seen.

Wonderfully romantic and tropey - librarian AU! homeless WWX! fandom-related identity porn! and they were roommates! - but grounded in a realistic portrayal of modern libraries and their initial friendship. A really lovely read.

Half Agony, Half Hope by @queenklu​

Wei Wuxian examined his jittering nerves and admonished himself to feel less. Five years, five years had passed since all had been given up: engagement, relationship, friendship, acquaintance, all severed, all carved away and discarded. How absurd to be once more wracked with emotions which should never have been nurtured in the first place!

A Persuasion/Jane Austen AU - five years after their broken engagement, now widowed with a child, Wei Wuxian must navigate the re-entry of Captain Lan Wangji into his life.

I'm sure no one is surprised that I would be into a regency AU with strong pining and a side of espionage, but I would like you all to enjoy it with me! Who doesn't love a good Persuasion AU? The fic doesn’t quite reach the pining heights of the original, but it makes up for it with plot.

a series of firsts by Pip (Moirail)

It should be said that Nie Huaisang really shouldn't be trusted to do anything, but it can't be denied that he really gets results where they count.

An extremely pure and well-executed dose of fluff in series form, starting with a Wangxian blind date and proceeding through their relationship landmarks. I really cannot overstate how cute they are in this, oh my god.

How to Win the Sports Festival: A Step by Step Guide by mhwright (gen)

Short re-imagining of the Sports Festival Arc if Shinso had planned a little better and worked a little harder to win the Sports Festival and if the match-ups had been slightly different. Self-indulgent fic of watching him succeed.

Mmmm, competence porn and BAMF Shinsou. I'm also super enjoying the sequel where Shinsou interns with Aizawa, which is a WIP but has cool worldbuilding around hero work & Shinsou's quirk and more great action writing.

Razzmatazz by xylophones / @xyloophones​​ (gen)

Izuku has plans for everything.

He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

Fantastically original revisioning of canon, where Izuku meets Yagi and starts on his path earlier. I loved how the author hit a lot of the big setpieces and emotional arcs but shuffled and reimagined them into completely new things, AND jam-packed them with friendship and banter and frank discussion of the flaws of heroes/media/society and cool worldbuilding for how the hero business works. Very long and very satisfying.

OTHER

Venenum ex machina by @nemainofthewater (NIF, gen)

The Poison of the Bitter Flame is the most mysterious poison in the world.

Or five times that Mei Changsu got poisoned (and one time he didn't).

Come for Mei Changsu trolling people with his poison resistance, stay for the angst and historical poison nerdery.

Carpetbaggers by cofax (Narnia, gen)

The day after Aslan left, taking the magic with him, just about everyone else left, too.

After the coronation festivities, the real work begins.

Holy shit, this fic is so epic and good: following the Pevensies as they roll from one crisis to the next in the early weeks of their reign, confronting the realities of Narnia and the Winter they ended and their role as leaders, while still holding onto their family and the magic of their story.

Reconciliation by @envysparkler​ (Batman, gen)

You cannot restore what was never there.

OOF. Emotionally brutal fic where Tim doesn't (can't) forgive Jason for attacking him, and Jason has to face and live with that.

[librarylexicon]

@cdelphiki did this and I thought (since I recently got back into writing) I would give it a go too!

Author’s Name: realismandromance

Fandoms you write for: Currently, I’m writing my first WIP for Batman! In the past I’ve written for Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables, Little Men, Dan & Phil, Tintin, Narnia, Rise of the Guardians and Peter Pan. I tend to write whatever strikes my fancy :)

Where you post: Everything is on Ao3, most things are on FF.net and a couple are also cross-posted to Tumblr.

Most popular one-shot: Let’s measure by hits. On Ao3 it’s Dan and Phil versus the World, and on FF.net it’s Desperate Measures.

Most popular multi-chapter story: On both sites it’s my oldest story, Harry Potter and the Time-Turner.

Favorite story you wrote: Probably Shirley Not. It took me an absurdly long time to write in comparison to the final word count. It’s also the most personal to me. The main character is modelled on someone I know in real life, and Anne of Green Gables was my first fandom.

Story you were nervous to post: Dan and Phil versus the World, because it was written for a Big Bang in a fandom that was very big at the time.

How do you choose your titles?: I love finding the perfect title! I’m the kind of fanfiction writer who chooses very traditional, ‘sensible’ titles. I try to have a few words or a phrase that sums up the main theme of the story, like for Worries, In Retrospect, Desperate Measures, Bare Bones, The Last Enemy and The Battle’s End. Some titles are taken from a quote in the story, like For the Sake of Our Son, You Know I Love You, Even Now and At Home, They Call Me Tintin. A couple of titles are based on epithets, such as The Muggles’ Niece, The Fiddler and the Fire-Brand, Plumfield’s Damon and Lost Boy.

Do you outline?: Yes, absolutely. Although, even if I break down every chapter into scenes and word counts, everything is subject to change during the actual writing process.

How many of your stories are… *complete?: Not counting a few anonymous fics on Ao3, I have 20 one-shots, 2 one-shot collections and 2 multi-chapter stories.

*in-progress?: I have 2 one-shot collections and 2 multi-chapter fics. Three haven’t been touched since 2015, so I’m hesitant to say I will actually complete them one day, but never say never?

Coming soon: I’m reluctant to say ‘soon’, but I’m madly at work on a multi-chapter fic that I want to publish before the end of the year.

Do you accept prompts? Not at the moment, since I’m pretty happy with my aforementioned Batfam WIP (details below!).

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Okay, I really want to gush about this story because I am SO excited about it! It’s a Post-Crisis Batfam canon divergent AU from Bruce’s POV called Family Crisis that takes place after War Games and explores what might have happened if Stephanie had not been believed to be dead. Instead, Bruce realises the importance of family and the Batfamily do not go their separate ways after the gang war. Basically, it’s a self-indulgent fix-it fic where Bruce gradually learns to communicate, his kids properly deal with their traumatic experiences in the past and present and Bruce exudes the Dad Energy that is barely present the comics. I currently have about 12k words of angst, hurt/comfort and introspection and I’m nowhere near done!

[fantastic-nonsense]

TAG GAME: FIC ROUNDUP

(not @sonicenvy tagging me in this because I'm a loser who shares all of my fic ideas with her at 2 in the morning 😭)

Anyway, the description: "new tag game i’m inventing for everyone and anyone who writes fanfic! Fic roundup!"

how many fic documents do you have/where do they live?

Somewhere around 30-35 that I'm willing to confess to; all of the others are either 'thing I wrote when I was 14,' 'here's a vague summary or idea of something I might want to write,' or single paragraph snippets that don't actually have a larger story attached to them.

MS Word: The vast majority

Google Drive: 2, and only one of them is an actual fic

Some vague ideas housed in my Android Notes app

a few that are still on notebook paper that I haven't transferred over to Word yet

what fandoms do you have fic for?

Several, and most of them are either unfinished or need major revamping. I've actually published fics for Nancy Drew, American Dragon: Jake Long, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Doctor Who, and Young Justice. All of those were written and published before I turned 16 and I largely no longer affiliate myself with them unless and until I do major revamps of them all.

For my WIPs....oh boy. Here's some of the notable ones actually worth talking about:

DCU: like.....10? Idk, It's a lot. Most notably, my active WIP that is 'Leave Me and Live' (aka, the "Jason and his mother figures fic"). I also have a "Tim is the glue that holds the Batfamily together" WIP, a couple of Dick-centric oneshots, a Cass-focused oneshot that's basically just me trying to build out her motivations for going to Hong Kong, and a Damian & Tim time travel fic on the backburner.

Star Wars: 4 or 5. Notably, I have my super expansive reworking of the sequel trilogy beginning with TLJ and a funny political drama oneshot (called 'Meanwhile in the Galactic Senate') about Padme and Bail trying to pass some legislation through the Senate.

Chronicles of Narnia: 3. I have a Susan character study oneshot, a Prince Caspian movieverse fic focused on why Susan the Gentle went on the Telmarine Castle Raid while Lucy the Valiant stayed behind, and a huge expansive book/movieverse AU where the Pevensies stay in Narnia at the end of Prince Caspian.

Miraculous Ladybug: 1. I have a Ladynoir 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' AU I've literally had a vague outline for since Season 1 was airing, way back in 2015.

Doctor Who: 1. I started a fic called 'The Never Weres' back when I was 15 and Series 5 was airing that was all about the hypothetical lives of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors' Companions in Amy's Starless World (aka, the Doctor-less alternate universe from The Pandorica Opens). Obviously, I never finished it, and probably never will.

Young Justice: A few, but only two worth mentioning. I have a nearly finished 5+1 from a decade ago about the Team grieving Artemis and a "how the Teen Titans Apprentice arc might have happened in the YJ universe" WIP.

Macgyver (2016): 2; an infirmary fic set after 'Wilderness+Training+Survival' and another set in a canon divergent S5 where Jack never left Phoenix to hunt down Kovac but Desi still joined, where Mac gets kidnapped (and not just beaten up) by Murdoc during 5x10 and the rest of the Team has to hunt him down.

ATLA/Legend of Korra: 4. My unfinished 'Justice for Asami Sato' fic haunts me, y'all, but at this point it's never getting finished unless I go back and rewatch LOK...unlikely.

Those are the ones I actually have something written for; if you want my ideas folder well...that's a lot longer and contains a lot more fandoms (ask me about my Fullmetal Alchemist or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries fic ideas sometime, lmao). tldr: I write too much fic for too many things and I never finish or post anything.

how long is your longest unpublished wip?

Right now, I think that's my Jason-centric fic "Leave Me and Live," which is currently clocking in at ~5k words with the fic about a third of the way done (💀). Excluding that one, it's probably "Control" (otherwise known as the aforementioned "Justice for Asami Sato fic"), which is somewhere vaguely around halfway done at 3k.

Technically, it's "Those Left Behind," my Young Justice 5+1 fic focused on Artemis; it's 9k with most of the final chapter left to write. However, since it is 'published' in the sense that 5 of those chapters are up on FFN, I don't really count it here.

what fic types are most common in your wips?

AUs and canon revamps, character exploration pieces, time travel fics, and hurt/comfort, with a couple of political dramas thrown into the mix (because unfortunately my professional life does sometimes bleed into how I consume fiction, and fictional politics both interests and bothers me immensely to the point of needing to write about it).

do you have any ongoing ‘verses/series in your wips, if so, what are they?

Oh yeah, I have two that I can think of off the top of my head:

My Star Wars TLJ/sequel trilogy reworking is tenatively a series of 3 fics: two long ones, covering the events of TLJ and my verse's equivalent of TROS, and a oneshot epilogue fic set about 5 years later.

My "Pevensies stay in Narnia at the end of PC" fic, which at the time I initially outlined it was (very ambitiously) four fics, each one loosely focused on chronicling 1-3 years that the Pevensies+Caspian spent ruling, with Fic 1 covering their first two years, Fic 2 covering Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Fic 3 covering their fourth and fifth years in Narnia, with Fic 4 set a few years later and covering a modified version of The Silver Chair.

Theoretically I have more (there's a connected set of Batfamiily oneshots I've been vaguely thinking about), but none of them are actually formed or planned-out yet.

long or short fic?

both. both is good.

tagging @silverwhittlingknife, @bitimdrake, @diocletianscabbagefarm, @loracarol, @river-bottom-nightmare, @mollyhats, @titans-trash, and anyone else who wants to participate!

Bits and Pieces of Various WIPs

So I decided to get up off my butt and actually be productive for once. Unfortunately, this means working on my thesis and two research papers and not all of my sad, neglected WIPs, but as a treat, I’ll share some bits and pieces from  a couple of them will all of y’all:

So…from my ‘East of the Sun and West of the Moon’ Miraclous Ladybug AU:

“Are you afraid?” He asks her, his green eyes solidly staring at her. He searches her frame for any reservation, for a hint of discomfort or fear.

She was not.

She smiles gently and laughs. “I am not afraid. Not of you,” she says.

It is enough for now.

……

Her powers always stack the cards in her favor. She works in a permanent best-case scenario, and tonight she had found out that even in the best-case scenario, she still would have lost her cat. And that is a devastating concept.

My Post-Prince Caspian ‘Problem of Susan’ fic (mostly movieverse, heavily dabbing in bookverse):

Susan observes. Many think Edmund as the observant one (and he is), but she is the one who truly watches. She watches from the shadows as girls laugh and flirt and dance, as they create a persona for themselves cloaked in crimson lipstick and too-short skirts that somehow makes them looking alluring and wanted. At first she scorns them, remembering very well that it was her beauty that was famed, her grace and gentleness that was revered in seven lands and all the islands. She sticks her nose up at these desperate girls playing pretend, at their pitiful attempts to be grown up and to impress boys who aren’t yet men.

She does not realize then that she will soon join their ranks.

Susan watches quietly as girls become women in the eyes of society by stepping into this world, this world of make-up and flirtations and materialness. She resents them. She remembers how it feels to be an adult, a true adult, and she sits here and watches as these girls and their overwhelming fakeness are treated as adults and she is treated as a child. She resents that they can so easily step into their assigned roles and play them to perfection where she is stuck straddling two worlds. She resents the fact that throwing on a bit of makeup and parading around like a doll is all girls need to do in this world to be considered women.

She suddenly decides one day that she is tired of it. She’s tired of being cast aside and treated like a child. She’s tired of people not recognizing her for the Queen she is. She wants to be recognized. She wants to command attention like she once did, to be admired from afar and talked of incessantly. She wants the people around her to see her.

……

But that is in the past, and Susan is so firmly entrenched in the here and now that she refuses to think about the past, for Narnia is Before and England is her Now and After. She needs to learn to live here and not dwell on what can no longer be. No…she would be beautiful here, respected here, not beautiful in some imaginary land that she could no longer rule.

My ‘Teen Titans ‘Apprentice arc’ as it might have happened in Young Justice+Bonus Batfamily’ fic:

“What’re you doing, Jay?” Wally asked, watching him call up a screen on his own holographic computer. 

“Calling for backup.” 

“You mean…” 

“Yeah.” 

“Whoa, whoa. Hold up,” Artemis said, cutting in front of Wally to look at the screen. “Who’re you calling? Batman’s off-planet.” 

“I’m not calling Batman.” Her next question was interrupted by a cheerful voice. 

“Red Robin to Blue Jay. What’s going on, Jay?” 

……..

“Shiva’s a liar,” Jason muttered, glaring at nothing.

“Wait, back up!” Wally shouted. “Shiva? As in ‘Lady Shiva’, one of the most deadly assassins on earth?”

“Do you know any other Shivas?” Jason shot back, frustrated. He didn’t have time to deal with this right now, not when his brother was on the line.

LOK “Control”: “Asami struggles to reassert control over her life. Sometimes she is successful; other times, she is less so. Or: Asami makes choices, has choices made for her, and has no choice at all, in the end. A story in ten parts.” Otherwise known as my ‘Justice for Asami Sato’ fic that I started working on in 2014 and haven't touched since:

She is not jealous. She is not.

……

She doesn’t allow herself to think that she had stayed with Mako because he represented stability and dependability. She doesn’t allow herself to think that she had not loved him as much as she thought she had. She doesn’t allow herself to forgive Korra (yet) for stealing her boyfriend away—and with him, the one stable thing she was allowed to keep after her father’s betrayal.

She shakes her head and sits quietly against the wall in her bedroom, the tears drifting softly down her cheeks. It isn’t fair, she thinks. The only thing she has ever wanted, and it is something money cannot buy. Money cannot buy her stability or happiness. It can alleviate many of the other problems she faces, but all the yuans in the world cannot buy back a life with a father who loved her and hadn’t tried to kill her, a life where her life was dependable and she was gloriously in control of her own destiny.

…….

She feels presumptuous and out-of-line, asking Katara (the Katara) to teach her how to heal, but Asami is tired of staying while her friends go where she can’t follow and sitting by the sidelines.  Asami may not be able to bend, but she can create and she can mend, and that is enough (for now). 

…….

Asami is not happy with her form. She realizes this the day that she brings down two assassins that managed to corner her in the stairwell at Future Industries but nearly dies in the process. She understands she can defend herself better than the vast majority of the nonbenders in the city, but she shakes with frustration, thinking that it is not enough. It will never be enough. Her years of self-defense training are useful and helpful, but are not what she actually needs. She cannot have the control she so desperately desires if she continues fighting like a non-bender. She needs to think like a bender.

“Teach me to fight,” she demands of Korra one afternoon. Korra blinks and tilts her head, but seems to recognize something about the way Asami is pleading and simply nods. “Okay.”

Asami’s afternoons become filled with combat sessions that feel more like dance lessons, Korra teaching her to spar the way her father once taught her how to spin and sway across the marble floors. She learns how to flow like water and stay firm like the earth, taking her new knowledge and adapting it to mix with her already present skills. It is hard, grueling work, but it is worth every second Asami spends drenched in sweat or lying on the ground, bruises coloring her body. She will not become her mother, lying lifelessly on the floor in a tattered dress.

She doesn’t know what hurts the most: the fact that the boy she used to love no longer loves her, the fact that the girl she currently loves is oblivious to her affections, or the fact that they both seem too tangled up in each other to notice her existence.
