Gen

morning, an interlude by idleoaths

“Sokka glanced at Katara with a quick smile, turning back to calmly watch the horizon above the gentle waves that faded along the Ember Island shore. They were seated under the shaded eaves on the veranda, sitting comfortably with the quiet fluttering of dragonfly hummingbird wings. Behind them, the soft oceanside wind made a low whistle that kept pushing the slatted bamboo blinds against the edges of the trim.

For a long, peaceful moment, the two of them simply sat side-by-side on the warped floorboards, watching the morning sun.”

in the loving memory by sokkaesque

“[(When Kya died, Katara asked for her necklace. “I am going to be the best waterbender in the world,” she told Sokka, whispering — like a secret, like a promise.)

Sokka sighs. He doesn’t know how to put it in words. Softer than before, he tells her, “You know, you don’t– you don’t need to be a hero all the time. Maybe someone else is already on their way to defeat the Fire Nation. There are many, many waterbenders, out there.”

Then Katara sighs.

She just says, “Not from the South.”]

Or, Kya’s, Sokka’s, and most importantly Katara’s understanding of her identity as the last southern waterbender.”

the three of us by sokkaesque

“[Appa looks at Zuko pointedly, as if knowing what he’s thinking.

Zuko sighs, and follows his own resolution.

“Does it ever get lonely?” he asks, and then kicks himself mentally over it. That was not an apology.

Aang yelps as the crab manages to grab one of his toes, clashing onto the sand and shaking his foot to get rid of the damn thing. He says, “Sometimes!”]

Or, Zuko apologises to Aang. Aang plays with a crab. Appa is there, for emotional support.”

Typical Evening Practice by flerkenkiddingme

“The newly realized Avatar Yangchen arrives to the Southern Water Tribe and stumbles upon a new friend willing to give her a crash course in waterbending and help her feel at home.”

suki centric (/+ sukka)

bruise belies the break by eleonorastay

"In which Suki learns the heroine and the healing can be one in the same."

a brutally soft woman by rolandtowen

“Suki knows this for certain. Being a woman feels like a beautiful kimono, one that she wants to hold out in front of her, but never put on. She's scared she'll fall down and get mud on the fabric that had been pristine her entire life.

That's fine, Suki thinks. She would rather wear armor instead.

a character study on the intersection of femininity and war; for day 2 of ATLA gen week, Kyoshi Warriors”

when the moon peach blossoms bloom by idleoaths

“Suki and her Warriors, growing up in the last years of the war.”

Mailee

The World Falls Away For You by ayyna

"A trip through (and before) canon from the switching perspectives of Mai and Ty Lee"

'Cause I could never set you free by aureshadow

“And suddenly Ty Lee was clinging to her and Mai held her as her sobs slowly subsisted. Mother wouldn’t like this, Mai thought. At least for this moment, Ty Lee has fallen out of favor. The smart thing would be to side with the Princess, to take advantage of my competitor’s misfortune and help the Princess against her.

(Mai was eight.)”

Yueki

i have this breath (and i hold it tight) by leoperidot

"“We’re using each other’s strength to hold ourselves up,” Suki explains. “Without you, I would fall, and vice versa.”

Then, all of a sudden, Suki tugs hard, and the two of them almost crash together.

Yue lets out a panicked yelp, but Suki just giggles, tossing an arm around Yue’s shoulders to steady her. “See? I told you I wasn’t gonna drop you.”

or, what happens when Yue outlives her destiny.”

The Courage of Stars by hella1975

“Chief Arnook had always coddled Yue since her precarious start to life. He tiptoed around her like she was a fragile children’s toy, and if Yue had found it insufferable during her teenage years then she had no idea how bad it would get after that night at the Spirit Oasis. Her father realised that Yue wasn’t as safe as he’d hoped here, that if a single teenage boy could swim into their ranks without conflict, then what was stopping Yue from being hurt again?

Changes were made, the Kyoshi Warriors were moved to the Northern Water Tribe, and she lost the last bit of freedom she had left.

Yue thought the Head of the Kyoshi Warriors was rude and invasive. Suki thought the princess was arrogant and stiff.

And then one day, Yue found a poem on her bed.”

Rangshi

addressed only for you and me by thecenterstaysthesame

“For when I visit your family back in the Fire Nation,” Kyoshi says. “You said you’d take me there one day. Teach me how to say hello.”

Rangi stays silent. Kyoshi doesn’t understand why she’s so hesitant to teach her one simple phrase, and for a moment, Kyoshi wonders if she’s done something wrong. If she’s crossed a boundary, that Hwajae is only for Rangi and her mother, for Rangi and the other Fire Islanders but certainly not Kyoshi, dirty worthless Kyoshi from the Southern Earth Kingdom. She props her arm up, lifts herself up and begins to twist to apologize and to backtrack, and then Rangi answers.

“Saranghae,” Rangi says, her tone weirdly detached and strangled, voice breaking on the last syllable. “Sa-saranghae.”

(Childhood AU. Rangi spends the night at Kyoshi's.)"

🔮📚⏰🌈💞

tangled ask game

🔮- Something you wish had happened in the series?

i wish we had gotten more flynn rider content tbh. like i love it when they would talk about eugenes past and we only really got a little bit of it. during season 2 i was really hoping they would meet a lot more people that eugene met as flynn rider (and there was a little bit, like stalyan and the sultan of pincosta but i just need more). 

also im kinda mad that none of the people they fought really talked about how they used to know eugene, like i feel like we can kind of assume that he pulled j jobs with some of the people they fought, but it was never mentioned (they did touch on it with the stabbingtons but only a bit)

like for example he knew lady caine in tbea !! i want to know if they ever worked together :(

📚- Favorite Tangled Fanfic?

oh god i dont have just one favorite but i have a few get ready

Bouclier by GraeWrites 

this one is def one of my favorites, basically eugene gets beat up real bad and its angsty and its SO GOOD i love it a lot

Useless Warrior Gay Seeks Male Ally by Shespitsfire

i love cass and eugene interactions SO MUCH and this one is so good, the characters are so well written and the whole story is so fun, i reread this all the time just bc its so funny and it has some great fluff and asdkfjadf i just have so many good things to say about this one

Blossoming Jealousy by eleonorastay

reading this basically feels like im watching an episode, its so well written and everyone is written so in character its awesome. it shows a little bit of jealous rapunzel and then theres some healthy relationship communication and its very good :’)

I’ll Breathe Again by Kingrey

also like,,,, anything by inès bc shes such a good writer and im forever obsessed with all her fics but i love this one so much :’) its nice and angsty and i love eugene but i also love it when he gets hurt

⏰- When did you join the fandom?

this is kind of a fun one lol so it kinda depends on your definition of “joining the fandom”

so i started watching the show on the day that beyond the corona walls aired (so sometime in june 2018 i think?). but i was kind of scared of being judged so i didnt tell anyone for MONTHS. i remember i joined a tangled discord but i didn't use discord a lot back then so i never really looked at it, plus i dont think that the one i joined was very active anyways. idk what happened to that discord but im no longer in it lol

so i used to just silently stalk people on twitter and insta but i didnt follow anyone or like any of their things, and i used to search “tangled” on tumblr to read other people’s posts but that was after i deleted my old blog and before i made this one, so i still didnt interact with anyone

then i think in august (maybe early september idk) i was like fuck it i want to interact with other people so then i made this blog and now here we are :^)

🌈- Best moment in the entire series?

answered here

💞- Which character do you relate to the most?

oo okay so ive talked about it before but i think i relate to cass the most?? i relate to all the characters in different ways ofc but at least pre season 3, i projected onto cass a lot 

but also i think that i kind of adopted rapunzel’s positivity and i definitely stole a lot of my sense of humor from eugene lol (the good part about none of my friends caring about tangled is i can steal jokes and roasts from the series and they wont know)

so basically i already relate to cass, but rapunzel and eugene have definitely shaped part of my personality

no one will ever write a fanfic line for rapunzel’s tangled adventures better than @dearestpartnerofgreatness:

“Oh, Rapunzel!” Eugene appeared from behind the door. “Sorry for the noise; Lance and I were just singing a friendly duet about how lucky we are to be back together again. What can I do for you?” [Blossoming Jealousy Chapter 6] 

I think about this at least once a week

NEW CHAPTER ALERT!!! 

[savethelastdan]

we love an AU within an AU

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mai/Zuko (Avatar), Sokka/Suki (Avatar), Aang/Katara (Avatar), Mai & Zuko (Avatar), Mai & Ty Lee (Avatar) Characters: Mai (Avatar), Zuko (Avatar), Ty Lee (Avatar), Aang (Avatar), Katara (Avatar), Suki (Avatar), Sokka (Avatar) Additional Tags: Mai Week 2022, Arranged Marriage, Maiko Endgame, No cheating, Pining, AU, AU of an AU?

Written for @maiweek 2022 (Prompt: Arranged Marriage).

In which Mai is married off and never joins Azula’s team, only to end up becoming her old crush’s bodyguard after the war ends.

Plot is inspired by this part from my other story, shadows and steel: “We’d meet again at one of those mind-numbing social functions. My husband would be at the other end of the table […] I’d be contemplating offing myself with a pair of chopsticks while Ty Lee flirts with all of my brothers in law. You’d see me, I’d see you. We’d remember that time we kissed by the fountain, but neither of us would say anything. We’d be trapped, just like we are now.” Setting down her drink, she offered him a pointed glance. “Only we’d be alone.”

[savethelastdan]

you ever read a fic that's so good you forget it isn't canon when you're having conversations about the original work

[dearestpartnerofgreatness]

New chap!!! I’m alive!!!

In which Mai is married off and never joins Azula's team, only to end up becoming her old crush's bodyguard after the war ends.

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

always love the maiko fic shadows and steel by eleonorastay, and everything by @kiwi--witch

Currently, I'm reading the Cheese In the Trap fic Who Protects The Mouse? by TAching and really enjoying it!

My dream theme/plot for a fic is probably a tasty little mystery/slow burn with complex characterization, which I would love @dearestpartnerofgreatness to write.

[dearestpartnerofgreatness]

My favorite chapters to write of shadows & steel were the Ember Island *not really a honeymoon* chapters! Maiko has my heart. Thanks to @savethelastdan for being not only the best beta reader and commenter, but also making this beautiful edit for the fic.

shadows and steel chapter 9 by eleonorastay / @dearestpartnerofgreatness

do you still write for atla?

Hello! I do, I just haven't updated in a while because life has been pretty stressful. My ao3 account is eleonorastay and I write head canons here sometimes when I have the brain power. :)
