Summary
For a while, neither of them spoke. They sat in a heavy silence, just the two of them. Aang looking up, Zuko staring straight ahead. He thought again of his cousin, of his mangled family and all they took, and how Aang had always, somehow, been at the center of it.
“You were dreaming about him, weren’t you?” Zuko said, suddenly. His chest tightened at the realization. It came together all at once, like someone had whispered the answer in his ear. Aang shifted beside him. His eyes almost flashed in the moonlight. “Of Roku.” Zuko clarified, though they both knew who he meant.
-------
OR: Aang's 18th birthday stirs up a lot of unprocessed grief and with the inauguration of the United Republic just around the corner and increasing expectations the pressure of it all is becoming too muchRepublic City shenanigans, drunken truth or dares, complicated visits home and a semi-arranged marriage inbound!
this is about the Gaang, five years after the war trying to find their way :)
I should say, if you've read beautiful boy this is definitely in the same universe in terms of vibe/characters/style/etc, just think of it as like not quite in the same canon but pretty much <3

Summary
Aang knew grief like an old friend. In his youth, it had been painful to grapple with the idea that the Air Nomads were gone, that he was truly alone. He knew deep down that no matter what he did, that weight on his shoulders was so heavy it would follow him into his next life. Spirits help his successor.
But this time, it was different. This was new. The emptiness that often accompanied the pit in Aang’s stomach was replaced with something sickening. His body rejected the possibility of Bumi’s death like poison. It wasn’t real. He had to be alive.
OR: When he's 19, Bumi II gets hurt in the United Forces and his family is told he is missing in action. Aang and Katara try to be there for their son and Tenzin and Kya navigate the new dynamic as friends and family rally aorund them. We explore family dynamics, being biracial, trauma, and being okay with being not okay.
(includes cloud baby flashbacks!)

Summary
NOT a multific but instead a return! Stand alone! These are scenes/snippets/shots written for my fic, beautiful boy, that did not make it in the final version. this is a "what if?" of sorts
these will be more clunky, and have some repeated dialogue/phrases from beautiful boy bc these are the first drafts! what ended up on the cutting room floor! i am always curious about other fic writer's process and apart of mine is writing a few versions of stuff, so i thought why not publish them for nothing else but to give a peek at my "process" (how fancy and refined)
hese are the "outtakes" of sorts that i've compiled from all the pieces that i decided didn't flow or add anything or felt ooc that i still think are worth something. anywhoooo if you want more of this universe, here is this! hope you enjoy:)
rly, these are for like 3 ppl who love the og like i do:)

Summary
Lin was about to offer to interview their contacts again, when a clatter in the bullpen caught all of their attention. There was a scuffle outside, two voices growing louder and louder as they approached their conference room. One voice they all recognized belonged to their receptionist, Layla, and the other-
Lin cursed under her breath.
The other voice was as familiar to Lin’s as her own. For most of her life, that had been a blessing. Though now, it was like a warped curse on them both. The earth bender’s heart skipped a beat. She knew, before he even opened the door that he was coming here. There was only one person alive that could sneak up on her.
OR: What if Aang dies earlier, and just as they're picking up the pieces, the new Avatar is found? Tenzin, Bumi, Kya and their family are trying to move forward, and all of their progress (or lack thereof) comes to a crashing halt.It's messy, it's rough, it's them at their worst
OR: The Avatar Cycle Feels Complicated If The Avatar Was Your Dad
*On Hiatus Until November (sorry loves)
