#avatar the last airbender writing prompt?

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Random writing prompt I want to read:
Fire hazard siblings Zuko and Azula getting along and Zuko has One Brain Cell and Azula has Two but they have to work together to overthrow their father because neither of them wants the other one to die.
KEY POINT: Neither of them have talked about it and neither is willing to admit either of them wants to overthrow their father so they just keep strategically "messing up" and being weirdly cool with the other one also fucking up constantly. Outsider POVs don't know what to think lmfao

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To say you aren't happy that Zuko and Katara decided to go on a 'Revenge mission', is an understatement. You aren't close with Katara, never have been. On two different ends of the spectrum. You both maintain a respectable relationship between each other, BUT that doesn't mean you like one another.
Zuko is completely aware of this. Having this conversation with him multiple times about how she looks at him, or what happened under Bai Sing Sei. But as you know, he isn't to great at reading people and how they are feeling. And it doesn't help that he is the one who suggested it, stings like alcohol on a open wound.
You are currently sitting against one of the dock posts, watching as Katara and Zuko get Appa ready to fly. The nasty look on your face is extremely noticable, Sokka and Aang are both looking at each then between the three of you.
Zuko finishes strapping a few things on Appas saddle and slides down the fluffy sky bison. He might not be the best at reading social cues but he can tell just by the way your eyes burn into his soul, you are pissed and hurt.
He cautiously approaches you and slides down the post next to you, his left arm resting on his knee, his right hand playing with the grass and dirt; picking and prodding.
You don't look at him, your eyebrows are furrowed in anger, you mouth set in scowl. Zuko carefully puts his arm around your shoulders. You don't push him away, but you don't lean into him like you usually do.
"Did you really have to suggest going with her?" You finally spoke, turning your head to look at him. Zuko has a frown on his face as he looks back at you, honey eyes soft and determined.
"She needs closure, Y/n. And Sokka and Aang won't go with her, so I have to." His right hand slides into your own, squeezing it softly. You know he is right, after all he's been through he just wants to make peace with the Gaang, especially Katara.
You sigh finally leaning into his side, your head resting on his shoulder. Zukos' pale cheeks burn pink, his arm squeezing you closer. He leans down and kisses you softly, his dry lips molding with yours before he pulls away.
"Zuko, let's go." Katara hollers from her spot on Appas neck/head. Zuko sighs and stands up, looking down at you with a soft smile.
"We'll be back soon, okay?" He ruffles your hair gently and starts to walk away. You smile slightly, already missing him even if he isn't gone yet.
Zuko then pauses a few feet away and you watch him curiously. He turns on his heel and speed walks back to you. Zuko leans down holding your chin with his forefinger and thumb.
"I have to go but-one more kiss." He presses his lips to yours longer, taking the breath from your lungs. "For good luck."

NASB 2 Community, ya'll slacking on the charecter interaction potential of this Crossover. So i'm dishing out prompts, feel free to use them.
Plankton acting like an evil father figure to Zim and giving him the only positive reforcement he's ever had outside of GIR.
Aang and Danny bonding over the stress of having the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Where is Iroh and Ember being forced to team up and Iroh starting another angsty fire powered teenager on the path to redemption.
Ren and Squidward initially getting along and bonding over their annoyance of "Those idiots" Only for Ren to eventually find Squidward insufferable and Squidward to find Stimpy a "disturbed little weirdo"
That's all for now, might post more if I see something come of these.

Hi Grace! I don't know anything about bsd, so I'm gonna stick with atla (if that's okay). Zukka with the fluff dialogue prompt: “I want to spend the day with you doing nothing.” please. 
it's been so long since i've written them so uhhh i hope this isn't terrible 🫣
(prompt requests are still open)
.
The morning sun filters through the windows, painting Zuko’s bedroom golden. For the first time in months, they’re allowed to stay tangled up with each other in bed past sunrise. Sokka traces his fingers up and down Zuko’s arms as Zuko’s lips ghost against his boyfriend’s jawline. For a brief moment, they are allowed to be nothing more than two boys in love.
“Sunshine,” Sokka whispers, and Zuko lifts his head just enough to let his eyes roam over Sokka’s face. Summer has brought out his freckles, and they dot his face like constellations in the night sky. He cups Zuko’s cheek with one hand, then says, “I wish we could stay like this forever.”
Zuko hums in agreement. It would be nice, he thinks, if they had no obligations. If Zuko were not the Fire Lord and Sokka were not travelling constantly—if they lived in a world where they could hold onto each other outside the confines of this bedroom, if the world were not set up to oppose them.
“Me too,” Zuko agrees, then leans in to steal another kiss. “I’d take even just one day. I want to spend the day with you doing nothing.”
“One day,” Sokka muses. “One day of no responsibilities. Just you and me.” He sighs. “Maybe someday. For one whole day, we’ll lock ourselves in this room and do absolutely nothing.”
It’s a nice fantasy, unattainable as it may be. There are always things that require Zuko’s attention, and there are always people unintentionally pulling him and Sokka apart. But maybe one day, when Zuko has established himself as Fire Lord, when the world isn’t still reeling from one hundred years of war, they’ll be able to find a day of peace.
For now, though, Zuko will cherish the few extra minutes they’ve found this morning. It won’t be long before he’s called elsewhere, but until then, he’ll continue to kiss Sokka slowly, like they’ve got all the time in the world, and he’ll be content to have Sokka in his arms as the sunlight pours over them.

Avatar the Last Airbender: Writing Prompt
Saving the world? Hard but doable.
Having to get Sokka and Azula together? Now that seems impossible...
The spirit of the avatar informs Aang that a descendant of Sokka and Azula would become an Avatar and he must get them together... Might have something to do with Toph giving Aang cactus juice.

First kiss or ember Island for the prompts
“Momo, don’t eat that!” Katara scolded the lemur as he attempted to eat what appeared to be some sort of crab. The crab snapped at Momo as he stuck out an experimental paw, making all his fur stick up like he’d been electrocuted. Momo hissed at the crab, before flying up to land on Katara’s shoulder. “I did warn you,” she said, laughing gently as he squawked and soared off in the direction of the house, probably to go complain to Appa.
Katara took in a deep breath, taking in the salty air, and feeling the push and pull of the waves around her. A flash of light drew her attention to the training grounds, where Zuko, very shirtless, was ducking, twirling and weaving in the familiar motions of the Dancing Dragon. Not wanting to disturb him, she perched herself on the far wall, admiring his form. He had always been a powerful bender, she recalled, but after he had figured out how to communicate with the dragons, he had reached a whole new level. It had made him both an incredible warrior, and an amazing teacher. She had been zoning out, staring shamelessly as he commanded the fire that she didn’t notice him watching her. She met his eyes, blushing slightly. He raised a teasing eyebrow.
“Enjoying the view?” he called, wiggling his eyebrow suggestively. She smirked, shrugging her shoulders noncommittally, flushing slightly at the way his gaze roamed over her. His dark eyes met hers, and she could see the excitement. “C’mon, I wanna show you something.” He said, flashing her the crooked, toothy grin that she had become so fond of over the past few weeks. The one he saved just for her. She couldn’t help but return it as he slipped on his vest. He reached up to grab her hands, tugging her down from the wall. 
“Where are we going?” Katara asked as she slipped her hand into his. 
“You’ll see.” Zuko smiled, squeezing her hand. “It’s one of my favourite places on the island.” They hiked in silence for a couple minutes, before arriving at a small, seemingly untouched stretch of beach. 
“OH!” Katara gasped, looking out, taking in what had to be one of the most beautiful sunsets she’d ever seen. The sky was a perfect ombre of vivid pinks, oranges and yellows, reflecting into the waves, where the sun was just moments away from slipping below the horizon. “Zuko, it’s beautiful.” she smiled up at him. He grinned awkwardly. 
“Just like you.” he said, flushing a little bit. She chuckled, reaching up to place a hand on his cheek. 
“You’re so cute when you get all red.” She laughed, dropping her hand from his cheek to lean against his shoulder. 
“Wanna sit?” he asked, gesturing to a large driftwood trunk. She nodded, taking a seat. He wrapped his arm around her as she nestled her head into the crook of his neck. Zuko shifted slightly, rubbing her arm with his thumb. “My mother used to take me here when I was a kid. Before… you know. It was our special place. We would escape my father, Azula, and all the duties and expectations that came with being a part of the royal family for a couple of hours and just be ourselves. She taught me to swim here, and how to skip rocks. We’d make sand castles and she’d always find pretty shells or sea glass to decorate them with.” He said, gazing out across the sand wistfully.
“Thank you for sharing your special place with me.” Katara whispered, turning to face him. “I know she means a lot to you, and I can tell this place does too.” He took a deep breath, steeling himself before turning to meet her eyes fully. 
“You mean a lot to me too, Katara.” he breathed, smiling gently as he reached up to brush a stray curl out of her face. She leaned into his touch, bringing her hand up to rest on his jaw, fingers brushing over his scar. They were closer now than they’d ever been before. She tilted her chin up, leaving him time to pull away. He didn’t, and instead closed the distance between them, finally connecting their lips. After just a moment, they drew apart, gazing at each other with adoration in their eyes. They’d been dancing around this moment for ages now. Katara could feel Zuko’s hand on her lower back, pulling her closer. She smiled as their lips reconnected, this time with more urgency. She let out a low sigh as his teeth grazed her lip, and she wiggled closer and closer to him until she was practically on his lap.After a few minutes, they broke apart, resting their foreheads together. Katara laughed.
“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time,” Zuko smiled, stealing another kiss. “Longer than I’d care to admit. Katara laughed, reaching up to smooth his hair. 
“Me too. It really made it hard to despise you when you kept giving me those puppy dog eyes.” he chuckled. 
“What, these ones?” he asked, working hard to hide his smile. Katara grinned, kissing his pouting lips and leaning her head against his shoulder. They lapsed into comfortable silence, watching as the waves lapped at the shore, faintly reflecting the pale afterglow.
“I hope I can meet your mother someday.” Katara whispered. “And properly meet your uncle. They seem like wonderful people.”
“I know they’d love you.” He said, squeezing her shoulders and pressing a kiss on the top of her head. “Someday. Once this is all over, and I’ve apologized to my uncle, I’m going to find her. She can finally live the life she deserves. We all can.” Katara squeezed the hand resting on her arm.
“I’m really glad you found your way to us Zuko.” she said, meeting his gaze so earnestly he flushed. 
“Me too,” he whispered back, resting his head on top of hers. “Me too.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
All you felt was pain, deep inside your chest. Watching your boyfriend take sides against the avatar once again was brutal. What made it even worse was Iroh was to be imprisoned, you would hold the same fate if you were captured.
You stood next to Katara and Aang, Azula and Zuko on the opposite side of the cave. Azula held the same malicious grin on her face, watching the three of you with smugness.
"My, my Y/n. You seem so down, how sad." She mocks you with a slight chuckle. Zuko gives her a glare, his eyes wandering back to you. They are full of guilt, pleading for forgiveness from you. Practically begging you to understand why he did it, to come with him.
"Leave Y/n alone, Azula." Zuko grunts, getting in a fighting stance with his sister. Azula clicks her tongue and rolls her eyes at her brother.
"They're the enemy now, Zuzu. Can't protect them forever." Azula laughs, blue fire erupting from her fists.
The blue flurries of fire woosh past you fastly. Katara quickly blocks the fire with her water. Using her octopus arms she slashes and whips at Azula, both going back and forth. The ground beneath the five of you shakes and cracks.
Aang and Zuko are going at it hand to hand. You watch out of the corner of your eye as Zuko takes a hit by Aangs wind, sending him flying back into one of the crystal pillars. Your heart stops, skipping a beat as Zuko groans.
You curse under your breath and run towards him, Aang is calling your name frantically. You slid against the rock surface and get the few rocks that landed on Zuko off. He lets out a huff of air, the weight of the rock off of his chest allowing him to breath.
He's quick to sit up, using his hands, he does a walk over away from you. Your heart felt like it was stabbed, watching as he gets in a protective stance. He knows you'd never hurt him on purpose, and he'd never hurt you.
"Why are you doing this, Zuko? Why are you so desperate to gain your honor back?" Your voice is meek, tears gathering at your waterline, blurring his figure.
"You know why I have to, Y/n. This is my chance to prove to my father I am worthy."
Zukos heart physically aches, seeing your tears making him question everything. He never wanted to hurt you, never wanted to put strain on your relationship. You're his everything, you've been with him since the beginning along with Iroh. Loving him even when he didn't love himself.
"But Zuko, when you get home and see your father, will he even except you? What if he hurts you again, or what if he tries to kill you?" You plead, knowing this isn't him. He's just confused and fighting himself.
Zuko stays quiet, thinking over your words carefully. You have a point. His father could easily do all of those things, Azula to. Does he really want to go through with this? Having Uncle imprisoned, possibly you too?
He closes his eyes tightly, fists clenched at his side. He lets out a long breath, salty tears slide down his cheeks as he looks back up at you again.
"He won't. I'm sorry Y/n. You can't change my mind. I'm going home." He lifts his fists back into a defensive stance, hands trembling.
"Please...Please forgive me."
You let out a strangled sob at his words, heart clenching and shattering. Zuko grits his teeth, holding back his own cries.
"Get out of here, before Azula realizes I haven't killed you." Without realizing it, Zuko was beside you. Taking you into his arms, he holds you as close as he can. His lips pressing multiple kisses to your head. His nose buried in your hair, taking in your shampoo scent one last time.
"Does this mean you don't love me anymore? Since you're leaving?" You asked, face hidden in his neck, tears hitting his skin like rain. Zuko squeezes you softly, kissing the apples of your cheeks.
"That not what I meant, Y/n. And you know it." He pulls away from you, taking a few steps back to create distance.
Water then wraps around his waist sending him flying. You scream his name as Katara takes you in her arms. You sob holding onto Katara as she sees you down.
"It'll be alright, Y/n. I promise." She hugs you tightly, the sound of wind echos in the cave as Aang enters the avatar state. Suddenly lighting cracks, blue electricity shoots towards Aang. Shooting into his back like a spear.
"AANG!" You and Katara race towards him, watching as he falls, his body is lifeless. Katara catches him, tears falling from her eyes. You use your bending to keep the three of you protected as Katara holds Aang and bends up the waterfall.
Zuko watches as the love of his life disappears. He lets out a sob, his fist pounding the ground.
He's sorry. So, so sorry. He never wanted to hurt you, cause you this much pain. Yet he has, and he might never, ever be able to fix it.
He hopes you're safe, and he'll come and find you when the time is right before it's to late.

Hello waterfire!
I don’t know if your accepting writing prompts or anything like that (if not, just consider it a fun thought experiment), but on the chance you are. Here is an Azutara one based on the quote below.
“You know, flitining was a lot less destructive back in my day”- this can either be said by Iroh, Kanna, or any other elder charachters in regards to Azula and Katara fighting/flirting all the time.
Thanks for the ask!
I absolutely can do this! Sorry for the wait by the way.
Kanna never thought she’d come to the Fire Nation, not even in her wildest imagination. Well…that was a lie. She did sometimes dream of going to the Fire Nation and finding Hama or, in the moments when she hugged Hakoda a little tighter, of being taken away because the Fire Nation decided they wanted everyone to be imprisoned.
Yet here she was. Stepping onto Fire Nation docks and knowing she had nothing to fear. She wanted to come here. She wanted to see her grandchildren in this new place and meet Fire Lord Zuko and Princess Azula. Up until this point, she’d only heard stories about them, some good and some that made her want to grab her grandchildren and never let them return to the nation. Still, she trusted Katara and Sokka. If something was wrong, they would tell her or return to the South Pole.
Sokka greeted her on the docks with Katara being noticeably absent.
“She wanted to spend time with her girlfriend.” He joked.
“Girlfriend?” She’d known for years now that Katara liked girls and guys, but her granddaughter never had an official girlfriend.
“They’re not official yet, but everyone knows it except them.”
Kanna had to laugh. She knew the feeling. She and Hama used to flirt all the time to the point that Hama’s sister screaming at them at dinner one time to please go on a date already. They did and it was amazing, but that was beside the point.
“Who is it?” Maybe it was a girl she’d met in the Earth Kingdom?
Sokka suddenly grew nervous and played with his fingers, “Sokka?” Kanna asked.
“It’s….Princess Azula.” Sokka admitted.
“Princess Azula.” Really? The girl who was known as the Avatar Slaver, the Conqueror of Ba Sing Se, the wielder the blue flame and Ozai’s prodigy daughter. That was the girl Katara liked?
“Then I’ll have to meet this Azula.”
Sokka led her up to the Fire Nation palace, where she paused for a moment to take it in, then to the garden. Compared the the size of the rest of the palace, the gardens were normal. There was a small pond in the middle with turtleducks and some space for people to run around.
Kanna’s eyes widened when she saw Azula and Katara. The two were fighting. Her first instinct was to look at Sokka. Was this not concerning? Shouldn’t he be helping his sister? Kanna would have jumped in but she had a feeling a small 70 something year old woman wasn’t going to be much against the Fire Nation princess.
Then she saw it. They weren’t fighting fighting. They were sparing and Kanna also quickly understood why Sokka thought they were girlfriends. Katara and Azula were sending water blasts and fireballs at one another but the way they did made it seem more like a dance than a battle. At the end, Katara splashed Azula with some water from the turtleduck pond making Azula laugh and rub it off her face but then put some grass on Katara’s cheek.
“You know, flirting was a lot less destructive back in my day.” Kanna commented.
That got a laugh out of Sokka which brought Katara and Azula’s attention to the two.
“Gran Gran!” Katara cried, hugging her grandmother, “You’re here.”
“I am. It’s so good to see you, Katara.”
“It’s good to see you too. I missed you.”
“And who is this?” Kanna asked, looking at Azula.
Azula bowed in a Fire Nation style, “Princess Azula, Elder Kanna. It’s an honor to have you in the Fire Nation.”
“Elder? Did you just call me old?” She bit back a laugh when she saw Azula’s eyes go small, “I’m joking, Princess Azula. It’s good to finally meet you.”
“Thank you and you don’t have to call me princess.”
“I can’t wait to show you around. The town here is amazing!” Katara told her, “But I should probably wash off first. I’ll meet you and Sokka later.”
“That sounds wonderful.” While Katara ran off, Azula stayed with them, “I hope me being here isn’t too much of a burden.”
“No. No.” Azula quickly said, “It really is great to have you here. It’s nice seeing Katara so happy.”
Sokka rolled his eyes, “Just ask her out on a date already. Everyone knows you want to! Ty Lee has spent the last month finding you a perfect first date outfit.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Katara is a friend and nothing more…even if she does look pretty after sparing or…all the time.” When she saw Sokka’s face, she moved her face away to hide her blush, “Shut up.”
“Take it from an old woman, Azula, if you really like Katara then you’ll regret that you waited so long.” Kanna told her.
“I don’t know.”
“Trust me.” She told the young girl, “I know better than most.” She whispered.
“Maybe. I…maybe.”
“Think about it.” Kanna said, “But I must say that if you break my granddaughter’s heart, the Fire Nation will be looking for a new princess.”
Sokka and Azula froze but Kanna kept walking down. Sokka had a smile on his face and was laughing a little while Azula had a look of concern.
“Is she serious?” Azula asked.
“She did once throw a Fire Nation soldier into shark invested waters after he threatened to set my dad’s crib on fire. She also once knocked out a soldier and apparently he told people he fell on the ice because that was a better story than getting punched by a non bender from the South Pole.”
“I’m actually both impressed and scared.”
“Good.” Kanna called over her shoulder.
