wip wednesday 💕

hi!! so good news - the next chapter of everywhere, everything is so so so close to being done. I decided on a chapter title and right now it’s sitting at 5.5K words most of which is smut lol aaaand I still have to write a tiny bit of actual plot

Keep an eye out, I’m aiming to have it up by the end of the week. In the meantime, here’s some slutty elain inner monologue xo

She’d wanted it from the second she’d started getting ready for the airport. Wanted it from the time she’d slipped on her new underwear while imagining him taking it off of her. She’d wanted to make him feel the way he’d made her feel a time or two now - knew that he wouldn’t be keeping score but even still, she’d been itching for it and she knew she wouldn’t be able to hold out as soon as she first spotted him while coming down the escalator. It was a miracle she’d even lasted that far into the drive. It was even more of a miracle that she’d been able to leave it where they’d left it considering that now, hours later, she was still aching for him.

[whoblewboobear]

Do you think every time Jace and Porter called out of work on the same days during sophomore & junior year that people just assumed they were definitely dating and the two of them just fed into because it benefitted the plan? Time to spiral about it.

Adding a read more bc some smut ensues ✌️

~

There are whisperings amongst the staff and one day Porter over hears like Lucilla telling Corsica she thinks they’re together “they were both off for two days last week and then again last month.” Porter takes that as a good idea to cover things up so he proposes a fake dating scheme to Jace- who has secretly been going along with this whole plan because he hoped at some point it would lead to getting laid. He’s usually not one for a long game and he DEFINITELY thought Porter would give this whole thing up a lot sooner. But now hes kinda locked in and maybe if he squints their dynamic feels like being friends. Dating FAKE dating is the natural next step, right?

Jace fully doesn’t know what he’s expecting the fake dating to look like, Porter didn’t give up many details, just mentioned it off hand one night while they’re scheming in his office. “Some of our coworkers are getting suspicious, we should pretend we’re together to throw’em off.” Jace just nods slowly, fighting for his life not to read too much into it.

About a week later Porter shows up in the middle of second period to his classroom with a huge bouquet of flowers for him. His students are watching this in complete shock. Word spreads FAST around the school, it’s a lot of attention, not that Jace minds it but he’s surprised by how much Porter is leaning into it.

He’s bringing him gifts and leaving him notes on his desk. When Porter kisses him for the first time, it’s after a faculty meeting while the other professors are packing up their stuff to head out. Jace barely even remembers any of them are around the way Porter is holding his waist and biting his bottom lip between his teeth. He’s not sure when Porter started supporting his weight but he’s grateful for it because his knees are buckling at how oddly passionate it is, and wow okay Porter is a really good kisser and-

Gilear is clearing his throat and asking if they can stay behind for a moment to fill out the proper HR paperwork now that they’re together. Porter just wraps an arm around Jace, slotting him into his side and nods. Jace can barely focus on the words on the page, his head is swimming and Porter’s massive hand hasn’t left his thigh the entire time they’re sitting with Gilear.

Once they’re done, Porter leans down and whispers, “great work, Stardiamond,” into his ear. His voice is so low and deep and Jace is two seconds from leaning in for another kiss when Porter claps him in the shoulder and leaves the room.

That evening, Jace calls Porter, making up some excuse about having a lead on finding the name. He doesn’t have a fucking clue about the name, he doesn’t really care right now. He just- needs to see something first and then he’ll get back to thinking about the plan.

The minute Porter steps into Jace’s place, it’s eerily quiet. The only thing keeping him from being in complete darkness are dancing lights creating a path into the kitchen. He calls Jace’s name. No answer. So, he follows the lights and as he enters the kitchen, he sees Jace nervously holding two glasses of wine.

“Hey-! You came,” he lets off. Porter raises an eyebrow at him as he stalks closer. “What’s all this?” Jace flushes and hands him a glass of wine. He stutters out some excuse about it being a thank you for how much effort Porter is putting into the fake dating thing.

Porter sees right through him, he’s known about Jace’s crush for a while now. Ever since he caught him staring after a particularly strenuous training session with the rat grinders. He was drenched in sweat, hair out of his usual ponytail, glistening and raging. When he caught Jace’s eye, he didn’t look away, just swallowed hard and offered him a thumbs up. Jace was absolutely flushed and still sparking with wisps of magic. He looked breathtaking. He considered dragging him to the gym showers and letting Jace fuck him right there. They were training for hours and Jace looked disheveled and gorgeous. He always appreciates seeing how powerful Jace was when they went off to wrangle monsters for the rat grinders to get the final blow on. Jace was extremely competent and skilled. Much to his surprise, Jace was just as quick with a dagger as he was with his use of counterspell. Porter spent way too much time awake at night thinking about Jace covered in blood and tearing into some beast triple his size. He could hold his own. Very sexy of him.

“You know,” he says as he takes Jace’s wine glass and places them both in the counter. “We should probably get our stories straight. When we got together, what you love about me, that sorta thing.” Jace’s ears start to twitch a bit, a tick he definitely thought he grew out of.

Porter smirks, taking a seat. Jace follows his lead, “yeah, uh.. I loved that kiss today. We should-“ and then Porter’s closing the distance, pulling Jace into his lap. Jace whines into it before Porter pulls away to press kisses to his neck. It’s so much and not enough. He needs more he needs to feel Porter’s hands all over his bare skin, he needs- Porters fingers find his (multiple) belt buckles and makes quick work of them. Jace is so hard, and then Porter’s knuckles are grazing over his clothed erection. He sucks in a sharp breath before saying, “hold on tight.” And teleports them into his bed.

Porter chuckles at his eagerness, flipping them over so Jace is laying in his back. He tugs his god awfully tight jeans down his legs then makes quick work of helping Jace out of his shirt. He eyes him for a moment, eyes roving over his chest. He places a kiss between the plain of his pecks the trails more up his neck and jaw until he finds his lips again. Jace is already so wound tight, the feel of Porter’s beard scraping along his skin feels so good, he can’t help but rut his hips against Porter’s thigh that’s lodged between his legs. Porter takes his wrists and pins them above his head with one hand and palms Jace’s cock through his briefs. There’s already a slick wet spot from his pre-cum. Jace groans, bucking his hips. “Gods- Porter don’t be a fucking tease-“ Porter tugs his underwear down before Jace can fuss anymore, grasping him in his fist. “Fuck my hand, pretty boy. Use me.”

Jace’s eyes widen at his words. Use me. He can definitely do that. In an instant, he Misty steps out of Porter’s grasp. “On your knees.” Porter starts to protest before deciding to see where this is going. He gets off the bed kneels before Jace. Jace strokes himself for a moment before Porter is moving his hands and taking him into his mouth. He almost comes at the sight of him. His partner in crime, taking his cock down his throat.

Porter gives head like a monster. He takes Jace down his throat with ease, pulling back to lick up his drool where it’s dripping down Jace’s balls. Jace gasps at the sensation, barely able to keep his hooded eyes open as Porter trails his tongue along the length of his cock. His hands find Porter’s hair. Pulling tight until he stills, allowing Jace to fuck his throat. He holds him steady by his hips as Jace’s knees buckle and his thrusts get sloppier. Jace’s eyes screw shut, Porters throat is so warm, wet and tight. He moans loudly, curses spilling from his lips as he comes hard down Porter’s throat. He moans around him, swallowing every drop. When he pulls back, he can see his seed mixed with Porter’s drool coating his lips and beard. “You’re so fucking good at that,” he pants, hands gripping tight to Porter’s shoulders as he steadies himself. Porter licks his lips, taking a moment to catch his breath.

“I’m not done with you yet, Star.”

❤︎︎ Wibble ❤︎︎

☟︎ Doodles and more about them below ☟︎

✿ s/i designated for giving kisses since my other s/i has no mouth 😭. Also couldn’t resist giving her sharp teeth.

✿ copes with being trapped in a digital world by spending a lot of time sleeping and eating. Also pretends to have a cooking/blogging YouTube channel in order to help themself feel more connected to the outside world. (I don’t actually know of the circus has a kitchen in it •_•. I’m assuming it does, but if it doesn’t, she’s requested for C/aine to add one.)

✿ has been known to eat objects for funsies.

✿ passive aggressive with J/ax (unlike Fable). Once chewed a hole through his bedroom door. J/ax has been calling them “termite” ever since.

✿ they’re a bit elusive, often hidden away somewhere napping.

✿ I think it would be funny if Wibble was asleep somewhere throughout the entirety of the pilot episode. P/omni and Wibble had no idea the other existed until they ran into each other in the middle of the night. (Pomni looking for a way to escape and Wibble waking up for a midnight snack)

Okay I like NEVER post commentary, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about this (yet), so here we go:

Heimerdinger is an amazing character, and I adore him, but he doesn’t really become one until he meets Ekko.

Like Ekko changed him so fundamentally, especially with how he relates to the story.

He’s basically a scientist who wants to help, but has been too blinded by his age. But the Firelights? Exact opposite. They’re young, basically children (if not children), who are thrust into a fast paced world. Like they’re hover boards for example? Speedy.

And their whole focus is doing stuff NOW, to change the future, and I’m just like whjejeje??

The perfect opposite of Heimerdinger, and yet somehow they still help change him for the better!! I personally believe it’s just because Heimerdinger is fundamentally good, but that’s just me.

Like, they’re able to show him youth I think. To make him aware about how fast things are changing, and he finds a way to help that growth. Sort of changing his perspective from time decaying things, to making it grow (the tree being symbolism here).

Idk if this makes sense, but that and his and Ekko’s time travel stuff?

Anyway, I suck at getting my thoughts out coherently, so I hope this makes sense lol.

i think we need to take the word misogyny away from some people

shipping superbat is not misogynistic and lois lane is not being erased or unnecessarily hated on for “getting in the way of superbat”

people just wanna seem like they’re above others for not enjoying something popular but instead of saying “i don’t like this because it’s popular and i’m a loser who hates when people have more fun than me” they sling the word misogyny around and use the oppression and mistreatment of women to win a one sided argument

[nartothelar]

contacting oshas unovan regional branch rn. you are putting poor subway boss ingo in an unsafe working environment on purpose!? smh smh

unstoppable force vs an immovable object

[girlishwhimsies]

unfortunately i have to yap more on the economic divides.

just there are so many implications and complications when it comes to generational wealth vs cycles of poverty. cycles of poverty my beloved in fiction and beloathed in life

i yapped a lot in the tags of my last post so read those too but i will be yapping so much here too!!! the way it affects familial relationships consumes me, two bits father leaves and suddenly now his mom has to go work and she sure as hell can’t get a great job cause she’s a greaser so she probably doesn’t have much education and she’s an asian woman in the 60s!! she’s now a single mom with kids to take care of. so she ends up working as a waitress or something similar and uses that money to scrape by, food stamps were starting to become a thing in the 60s as well so she def used those. and then she has two children. she can’t get them through college and two bit knows he has to step up and be the man of the house and that means finding some way to make money so he has to drop outta school cause he needs to get a job. that’s what greasers do and that’s what was always gonna end up happening to him. the cycle didn’t start with him or end with him but it has to keep going l

ace and steve too. bounced around to different homes, never having one home with a steady flow of income, having to find ways to get through it. ace who didn’t trust any men, especially when money was involved, and only trusted those close to her!!! the cycle of poverty hits them all again as her and her brothers can’t rely on a father to bring in income. god plus the way that poverty creates addicts due to the stress of it all and then addiction further fuels poverty since you have to buy your vices. some addicts can’t hold a steady job which makes it even worse. all cycling in on itself over and over again. and that’s not even mentioning the clear redlining that tilly mentions in her ace backstory (this may even be a whole other post tbh) the town is designed to keep the poor poorer and the rich richer.

johnny who in my mind is clearly food insecure (y’all saw the way that boy snatched that food from dally and hid it away immediately right) never quite sure where he is gonna get food from besides the curtis’s since his parents spend most of the money on alcohol. the anxiety that would bring him and it impacts his story so hard cause he always is at a disadvantage due to that. there is a reason that boy looks so small

dally has always travelled, choosing to steal to get what he needs cause he never stays long enough anywhere to get a full job. he’s been labelled a hood since day one anyway and wouldn’t get a great job anyway cause of his skin color so he decides to lean into it and do what he has to do to get by.

then we have the curtis brothers. who were so close to getting out of tulsa. they were able to try to break the cycle and send darry off to college after he was one of the first to get through high school and make it out just for him to have to come straight back. no matter how hard darry tried he couldn’t ever end it but at least he can try to get pony through school and get him a better job that he can succeed in and love comfortably with

more various thoughts i couldn’t fit into any one greaser story- a lot of the kids were most likely mistakes and/or teen pregnancies that they really couldn’t afford to have but had to go through with it anyway. the cycle of addiction that runs through these families. the parents hopes and dreams of getting out never getting fulfilled. the way race plays into poverty as well

then you have the socs who have all the money they need, who have the opportunity to get out and choose not to take it cause tulsa is a source of pride for them. they benefit from the cycle too even if the kids don’t always realize it. just ugh. the way all of it comes into play with the overarching story

First/Last line challenge!

Okay so I once again owe everyone in the world a last line challenge (and some first line challenges too!) ((a bang fic ate my life for many months)).

Thank you for thinking of me @just-here-with-my-thoughts, @greenharrow, @rendomski, @probadbatch, @cacodaemonia

@loverboy-havocboy, @indigofyrebird, @insertmeaningfulusername and anyone I’ve missed!!! Uno-reverse, I’d love to see a first/last line from whatever y’all’re working on now!

First line from a new wip (it will be short I swear):

“You can’t ignore me forever.”

Last line I wrote this afternoon:

They’ve known each other for their entire lives. If the Empire’s mind control couldn’t break them, then some strange Force bond shouldn’t either.

"An Hour."

• Masterlist •

Warnings: Hospital settings, aftermath of captivity, mentioned death.

Medic, despite what their job would suggest, wasn't a caregiver. They were just a mechanic working on circuits, not who carefully kept the whole mechanism running. They could fix people, but it was that. Someone would have to take over the aftermath.

Much to Medic's relief, Leader was a caregiver. A good one, even.

Too good, they lately noticed. Too good that it was starting to make Medic worried. But just like every other day, Medic knocked the infirmary door in exactly same time, before opening it fully. Youngest was asleep in the hospital bed - Medic had said Leader that it was unnecessary, but Leader  brought one anyway - and at last drops of their IV.

"An hour," Leader muttered. At this point it felt like a ritual. So, without a word, Medic moved and changed Youngest's IV to antibiotics as Leader deserted the room silently. Probably to sleep.

Good, Medic thought. Leader needed it.

Medic made their way to the armchair, only to see Leader's office keys on it. For a moment, they considered giving it back. They respected privacy, but they were also curious. For the last one month and a half, all Leader did was looking for Youngest, caring for Youngest or staying in their office. The first two was understandable, but the third...

Now Medic could learn whatever Leader was doing in their office.

Medic hesitated. They shouldn’t invade Leader’s privacy—Leader had done nothing to earn suspicion, at all. And Leader never broke anyone's boundries, so Medic doing it to them was just wrong. But something had been gnawing at the back of Medic’s mind for weeks now, something beyond the usual worry for Youngest. Leader’s behavior, so single-minded, so intense, felt wrong. So wrong for someone almost obsessed with making the future better. And if there was something in that office that could explain it...

Steeling themselves, Medic turned and walked down the hall to Leader’s office. The key slid into the lock with an ease that almost felt too simple. "Where's Leader?" Medic shouted. Leader's room was wide open and Leader wasn't there.

"Went for a quick walk," Right Hand shouted back.

Medic took a deep breath. "Okay," they muttered. With a simple twist, the door creaked open. Medic slipped inside, shutting it quietly behind them slowly. The room was dim, the only light filtering through the half-drawn blinds, casting long shadows across the walls. At first glance, it looked like any other office—neat, organized, professional. Just like how Leader liked to keep everything. Medic opened the lights.

Notes. Dozens of them, pinned to a board on the wall, scattered across the desk, and even taped to the edges of the bookshelves, almost creating a wallpaper. Most were in Leader’s precise handwriting, detailing locations, names, dates, and other pieces of information that, together, painted a picture out of a detective's office. Medic’s gaze was drawn to a map on the wall, marked with pins and red string connecting various points. They moved closer, recognizing the locations as places where incidents had occurred—break-ins, disappearances, attacks. All related to Youngest.

Their heart pounded as they picked up a file from the desk. It had a picture, the person's face partially obscured, but there was no mistaking who it was. Medic had seen that face around Whumper—one of the underlings of them. The person had been found dead two weeks ago, the cause still under investigation. There were detailed reports about them, autopsies, locations, biographies... informations that Medic doubted Leader had the authority to kno let alone storing.

They set the file down, their hands trembling slightly. Leader had been gathering evidence, but it wasn’t just about finding Youngest. It was about something more.

Another photo on the desk caught their eye. Medic took it, revealing more photos, more notes underneath. Some were crossed out, others highlighted. A list of names—people connected to the kidnapping—each one with a note beside it: confirmed dead, under surveillance, possible lead.

Some of these people were no longer a threat because they were dead. Was it coincidence, or had Leader...?

The sound of footsteps in the hallway snapped Medic out of their thoughts. They hurriedly closed the folder and placed thr picture back on the desk, glancing around to make sure everything was as they’d found it. The door clicked shut just as the office door opened.

Leader stepped inside, looking tired but alert. They froze for a moment, eyes narrowing as they stared in the sight of Medic standing in their office.

“What are you doing here?” Leader’s voice was calm, but there was an edge to it, a warning.

Medic tried to keep their expression neutral, forcing a casual shrug qs if they weren’t digging through the room for the last ten minutes. “You left your keys on the chair. Thought I’d drop them off.”

Leader’s gaze flicked to the keys in Medic’s hand, then back to their face. For a moment, neither of them moved. Then, slowly, Leader crossed the room, taking the keys with a nod.

“Thank you,” they said, their tone polite but distant. “Please wait for my return next time.”

Medic nodded, feeling the tension in the air like a physical weight. They turned to leave, but couldn’t help one last glance at the desk, at the folder now lying innocently on the surface.

Leader didn’t miss the look. “Is there something else?”

“No,” Medic replied quickly, shaking their head. “Just... take care of yourself, okay? You look like you haven’t slept in days.”

Leader’s expression relaxed, a smile so soft and tender taking over. “Don't worry. Byt you should get some rest too.”

How could Medic be suspicious of them when all Leader did was worrying and caring for the team? Shoving the guilt down, they forced a smile and left the office.

-•-

Later that day, Medic was in the break room when the news broke. The television mounted on the wall buzzed with static before the anchor’s voice cut in, somber and urgent.

“We interrupt this program with breaking news. Henchman, a key figure in the recent string of criminal activities linked to the late terrorist Whumper, was found dead earlier this evening. Authorities are investigating, but details remain scarce at this time.”

Medic’s blood ran cold. Henchman—another name on Leader’s list. Dead. Just like the others.

They stood frozen, the room spinning around them. The timeline didn’t add up. Leader couldn’t have done it—they had only left the office for ten minutes, not enough time to cross the city and back. But the coincidences were too many, too pointed.

When Medic next saw Leader, they couldn’t help but study their face, searching for anything. But Leader looked even more drained than the last time, still trying to hold it together desperately. When Medic mentioned the news, Leader’s response was calm, almost indifferent.

“Tragic, but not unexpected,” Leader muttered, shrugging slightly. They weren’t even focused— they looked like they could just collapse and take a twenty four hour nap. “Agency was after them. It was only a matter of time.”

Medic nodded slowly, but the uneasy feeling in their gut only grew. There was something, something that was beyond their understanding. But as Leader walked away, Medic knew one thing for certain— Leader was doing something wrong. It was either their sleeping habits or the team had a huge problem.

-•-

Soo, have another random one. This is standalone, but I wrote this with "A Score to Settle" in my mind. Not quite part two, but I began writing with that intention.

[whoblewboobear]

We gotta put Jace and Porter in a Netflix dating reality show/Love Island/bachelor au. They’d either be the couple that wins at the end just to breakup or arguably the strongest couple by the end that doesn’t win but stays together after the show.

They’re so messy and toxic at the reunion just fighting with all the other contestants and maybe the host too if they try to bring up Porter coupling up with someone else and leaving Jace in danger of going home one week.

If it’s love island it’s 100% bc of Casa Amour. Jace flirted a bit and played the game but ultimately doesn’t choose to couple up with with someone new. The producers showed the everyone back at the house footage of what happened in the other villa and Porter fucking sees red watching Jace flirt with all the new casa amour people. When the new singles arrive to the villa Porter wastes no time to chat a cute guy up and take him back to the hideaway.

When the other half of the house gets back and Jace sees Porter looking VERY cozy with someone else and he’s distraught. Him and Porter have a screaming match by the bar that night. Viewers are eating this shit UP. Sandra-Lynn and Halo have to pull Jace away from Porter before he beats the shit out of him. Porter is just being so cocky and rude and smirking at Jace like “let him hit me~” Jace pulls a reality tv classic and spits in Porter’s face. Porter who is reveling in the fucking mess of it all. That man is a perfect reality tv villain. A true chaos agent the villa.

Both of their talking heads in the confessional are so insane at this point too. Jace is trying to pretend he doesn’t care in between clips of him crying and screaming and being comforted by half the house lmao, meanwhile Porter is doubling down and saying if Jace wasn’t so quick to shove his tongue people’s throats he wouldn’t have coupled up with *checks notes* hetero Jessica? He barely remembers this poor woman’s name it’s awful. He says at the next re-coupling he’s getting back with Jace but he likes to watch him squirm a little bit.

Jace HATES that he has to depend on Porter to choose him again, so he puts in the work and starts chatting up Zara and they hit. It. Off. Jace is probably calm for the first time in weeks since he got there. It’s days before the recoupling Zara tells Jace that she likes this but wants to stick with Lucilla. She does mention that Porter is planning on recoupling with him though. That she heard it from Gorthalax. Jace does hate how happy it makes him but he wants to play hard to get and see if Porter atleast comes to talk to him at some point. And he does!

Porter ends up winning some challenge. He can choose to go on 3 dates with anyone of his choosing. When he gets the text he reads it for the group but immediately beelines to catch a producer to ask if it has to be a different person for each date or if he can go on all of them with one person. The producers are seeing the ratings and the dollars skyrocketing from this stunt so they allow it.

When Jace gets summoned for the first date he’s a little put out because you always save the person you actually wanna couple up with for last, right? Porter is gonna tell him he’s not picking him. WRONG.

Porter is genuinely being so romantic and sweet and it’s probably the best day they’ve shared in the villa. But by the time the first date would be wrapping up, Jace places a hand on Porter’s arm and says it’s okay if he doesn’t choose him. Porter raises an eyebrow and asks him why he’d think that. Jace asks who his next two dates are with and when Porter responds with “you.” Jace tears up and kisses him.

They definitely don’t win the show but they do end up very happy together post-show.

Time for another dream i had, this time about zutara.

This one is a lot shorter, but essentially I had a dream where kataras whole family(which seemed to have more members then in the show) all live in the fire nation, hiding the fact that they're water tribe(rather, they were water tribe).

Katara is in some sort of relationship with zuko. It's unclear if she's his wife, his girlfriend, or his mistress, but its not hidden. People know about her and her relationship with him.

(Putting the rest under a cut so I don't clog up the feed lol)

If she was his mistress it's kinda held in that way that kings had other women they'd sleep with along with their queen and it was just an accepted, albeit kinda shitty, thing to do.

Anyway, katara is also pregnant, which was kind of an underlying "plot point" and would return home to her family every day to check on them.

It's revealed here that katara is basically the only reason her family is doing pretty well for themselves. Her relationship with zuko means that they have enough to get by. It's also noted that her whole family(katara, sokka, their dad, their grandma, and some made up new family members) all live in one house. So its clear they're still kind of struggling.

It's also revealed, through a conversation with her grandma, that the only otehr reason katara is with zuko, is because it was part of a bigger plan. She and her family are part of a resistance against the fire nation, and when they realized zuko liked katara, wanted her to infiltrate and pretend to be in love with him.

The plan had clearly gone on longer then anticipated, for whatever reason, and katara is conflicted because she actually does have feelings for him now, not fo mention she's pregnant with his child.

There's a "scene" either at the beginning or after this reveal that shows zuko in a meeting with other fire nation officials, including his father and sister, and that either he was against one of their plans but is ignored or his plan gets shut down(I don't remember which). Katara always sits in on these meetings with him, and afterwards, as everyone is getting up to leave, she leans her forehead against his and whispers that everything will be alright. This is why we can tell she truly does care about him, to some degree. But it's also a moment showing potential manipulation, like shes pretending to care. It's supposed to be a little of both, she needs him to trust her but she does still love him.

After all of this, we cut to a scene in a forest/swamp. This part is kind of blurry in my head, but basically, it's a secret meeting. Katara is dressed similarly to the painted lady, her and a few other resistance members, including Sokka, Suki, and Hakoda, are planning an ambush on Zuko and his family, who are supposed to travel down a path nearby. Katara is a key part of this plan, as she's the only waterbender, and she knows this. She nods along to everything regarding the plan and she goes over important points herself as well. But as everyone else continues talking, katara is having doubts. She loves Zuko. She's about to have his child. She cares for him. But she needs to free the world from the fire nations clutches as well. She doesn't want to kill Zuko, but she has to in order to help others. She's hesitating.

They continue with the plan anyway, and through the foliage that katara and the others are hiding in, we see a carriage making its way down the path. Zuko and his family(or at least his father) are in there.

Everyone is getting ready to fight, to jump out and attack. We see a close up shot of Katara, conflicted. She's still not sure if she can go through with this, if she can kill Zuko.

And then I woke up.
