But Korra's protests die on her tongue as Asami pulls her in for another kiss, and by the time they resurface their tea has long since gone cold.

Tormented by this gif. What if Asami got a tiny scratch on her during this fight and afterward Korra fussed over it and made her sit down for a healing session and they were sitting real close, close enough for Asami to feel the heat radiating off Korra's body and see little flecks of dust on Korra's face and Asami reached out to brush them away with her thumb before she had a chance to think it through. Do you see the vision.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa your MIND!! Korra being like What Is That and Asami being like it’s literally a tiny scratch I’m fine and Korra being like uh no ma’am we’re healing that right now and then they’re sitting so close together and touching and taking care of each other without even thinking about it because that’s just how they are. I’m having a conniption!!!

also I am similarly haunted by that gif when will asami throw me across the desert by the head with her powerful thighs goddamn dude

If you're still doing the prompt game: "Please, put it DOWN" ft. my girl Suki and Ty Lee

For this prompt game!

“I’ll just grab it real quick, you can just—oh, yeah, come in!” Ty Lee chirps, pasting on a smile as she lets Suki into the room after her. The room she didn’t clean, or think about anyone seeing, let alone Suki.

Suki glances around, aura curious even though Kyoshi dorms all look the same. “I like what you’ve done with the place.”

“Thanks!” she says, beating back the urge to flush and glancing around at the gauzy lengths of pink fabric and the candles it didn’t feel like home without, all the bright sparkly things tucked into corners to brighten up the place. “I’ll just grab my practice fans,” she says, trying to be brisk, “I know I left them here somewhere.” She knows exactly where, she just needs something to busy herself with for a moment to settle before the sustained, focused attention that comes with sparring.

“Take your time,” Suki murmurs, absent, drifting over to the dresser and shelves. “This is neat,” she says, head cocking. “What’s—”

“No! Don’t—” Ty Lee catches herself, correcting, “Please, put it down,” and not quite managing to modulate her tone with the way Suki freezes, aura going dark with alarm.

She gives Ty Lee a startled look before quickly and carefully setting the crystal back down, Ty Lee trying to put the usual bounce in her step as she darts over and carefully sets the little stone back into alignment with the others.

“Sorry,” Suki says, wide-eyed, “I didn’t mean—”

“It’s okay!” It is now.

“What is it?” Suki asks after a pause, cautious, eyeing her and then the stones again, taking in the little arrangements across the shelves.

“Protective crystals,” Ty Lee says, making her voice bright and refusing to cringe. “This arrangement brings health, happiness, and protection,” she says, pointing to each stone and relaxing a little when she sees that they’re still in tune with each other, working together.

“There’s more than one,” Suki says, slow, glancing across the shelves.

“That one’s for Mai,” Ty Lee explains, lips quirking into a genuine smile. Nice big ones, especially for happiness. “And these are for my sisters,” she explains, pointing to the identical array of six little ones, skipping over the one tucked in the back for Azula.

“And this one?” Suki asks, nodding and pointing to the other one Ty Lee had strategically skipped over.

Ember and ash. “That’s for you!” she says, and Suki blinks, her aura going yellow-orange with surprise.

“Oh,” she says, taking another look. “It’s...not the same as the others?”

“You have happiness and protection and strength and wisdom,” Ty Lee rattles off, resisting the urge to fiddle with the three she has for Zuko—ease, wisdom, happiness, she thought that would be enough but it feels like one is still missing—as she explains, “Because you’re in charge of the Warriors.” She peeks out of the corner of her eye. “And you want to be good at it.”

“Oh, that—” Suki stops, clearly digesting that, finally giving her a quick sideways look. “Where’s the one for you?”

“Oh,” Ty Lee says, surprised. “I don’t have one.”

Suki chews on her lip a moment. “Can I buy these?”

“No,” she shakes her head, “You find them. The ones that speak to you, and you can feel from their aura who they’re meant to be for.”

“I don’t know how to do that,” Suki frowns, aura going a bit blue and Ty Lee doesn’t entirely manage to hide her surprise.

“I can do it for you,” she says, cautious. She was expecting ridicule, or—maybe not expecting it, but—used to it. “If you tell me who they’re for, I can make sure it feels right for them!” she offers, excitement fluttering in her chest over the idea.

Suki gives her another sideways look, longer this time. “It’s for you.”

Ty Lee blinks, opening her mouth and then closing it again.

“Does that work?” Suki asks, almost…shy? Anxious? Ty Lee can normally tell, she’s just…

“Oh, I—I don’t need that,” Ty Lee fumbles, automatically making her tone bright and trying—she didn’t expect—and Suki—

“Why not?” Suki frowns, brow crunching in concern, and Ty Lee replies without thinking:

“I have you.”

And it’s Suki’s turn to blink, and fumble, blushing, her aura suddenly going very, very pink, and Ty Lee can’t help but smile back, small and genuine and pleased. Pink is her favorite color, after all.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

to be honest, i'm not really IN the fandom. i'm in my corner enjoying korrasami. I don't care what the fandom says. I love those two with everything. But what I can remenber/recall....KORRA IS A GREAT AVATAR. I'm not sure if she's THE BEST EVER...but she gets way too much hate. She went through 3 major events within, I think 2 years? and if anything, it's the writers fault for writing themselves into corners in order to stretch out time. but..anywho. I love Korra and she is definitely strong and not weak. and thanks for the ask! :)

25. What's your favorite part of the writing process?

i like outlining a lot, just rambling and writing down allll my little thoughts. and then when i'm actually able to do it, i enjoy the writing process itself. being able to transform the silly thoughts into actual sentences is equal parts frustrating and satisfying lol

thanks so much for the ask <333

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Traditional sculpting! I do some stuff in digital 3d but traditional feels unreal to me haha, it's very impressive and cool

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

My songs for drawing are usually different from what I normally listen to, they're something that's either chill or without words like soundtrack from games/shows etc (so I don't get too focused on the song instead of actually drawing lol)

Unless I'm completely out of energy and can't make myself draw, then I put something more energetic

And often I just draw in silence, while I love music a looot I'm more productive without it

Thanks for the ask 🫶

18. What work of yours do you go back to admire again the most?

This kiss

24. What did you listen to while creating this year?

So that depended if I was at my desk or not.

If I wasn’t (and I was drawing korrasami), I would listen to JVs podcast or Braving the Elements. Ya know, just to hear her voice. 🥹

If I was at my desk, I’d put on some YouTube video essays about Star Wars Economics or, I’d catch up on some Cinema Therapy videos. If I was in a mood to enrich my musician brain, I’d maybe watch some cover videos or Charles Cornell.

So, there were options! 😅😅😅

16 and 28 (love these because they're like the ultimate funny relationship conflict questions) for......hold on lemme think....KORRASAMI

Hmmm… idk if I can do Korrasami, that might be a stretch😂

16. Who hogs the covers?

I think they both do. Asami usually starts it because she gets cold during the night but then Korra tries to steal them back, then Asami takes them, then Korra, etc. The half-conscious blanket-hogging war is intense and ongoing.

28. Who always steals the other’s food? How does their partner react to it?

Asami. Korra’s aware of the fact that she needs a lot of food to keep up her strength and her energy, so she’s not shy about making sure she has plenty on her plate to begin with. Asami, on the other hand, is the master of “oh, I just want one bite of yours”, which of course turns into multiple bites, which turns into her eating half of Korra’s food. Korra finds this incredibly aggravating but lets her do it anyway.

13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Something that hit me at the right time and was phrased in the right way to unlock like 18 other simultaneous pieces of understanding was some advice I stumbled across a few years ago around epithets and when to use them.

It talked about how a lot of times new writers can go overboard trying to avoid the usage of someone's name because they don't want to be repetitive, but then you end up with like, "Zuko" and "the Prince" and "the ravenette", and sentences like "Azula wondered what the other ravenette was up to." And it talked about how things like that stand out to a reader, which doesn't mean not to do them but to do them intentionally.

Why would Azula be thinking of her brother and herself as black-haired in a moment, vs just using his name? Why might Iroh address Zuko as 'Zuko' vs 'Prince Zuko' vs 'the Prince,' and what does it tell us about their relationship or Iroh's emotional state in a given moment for him to choose one vs the other?

It seems relatively obvious in retrospect, but it really got me thinking about the little ways perspective can be built into a narration, and the ways someone's dialogue could convey their state of mind even if they aren't our POV character, and how to build in description and exposition in ways that felt more natural to the way someone would actually think. And then I did a lot of fun deliberate editing in my draft of These Things Written for when Sokka uses 'the Fire Prince' or 'the Prince' vs when he uses 'Zuko' in his thoughts haha

14. What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Generally anything that is like totally absolute annoys me haha, because there's always a reason to break any rule as long as you know why you're doing it.

The thing I see the most that I tend to side-eye the most is the suggestion that writers eliminate adverbs and the word 'said' from their vocabulary.

I don't think it's ever meant to be like a blanket statement, but it's often written as such, and I'm a big believer that readers need space to breathe in a story. Some lines just need to be rest lines, and not every word needs to wallop you in the face.

Particularly with dialogue, I find that the dialogue tags can draw attention away from the words and toward the manner of saying them. Which isn't *bad*, but again, its better if its an intentional choice than out of an externally-born need to eliminate 'repetition' and ending up changing a perfectly good 'he said quickly' to a deeply jarring 'he ejaculated' (which...I have seen. More than once.)

#asks and answers #ask games #korrasamibottles #Truly the number of times I've read 'he ejaculated' meaning words meaning not sex is just... #If I had a nickel I'd have at least fifty cents lol

8, 9, and 10 :)

AGAIN. HUGE APOLOGIES FOR GETTING TO THIS SUPER LATE!!! I APPRECIATE YOU!

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

Oh god. ummmmmmm.....I can't answer that lol. Most songs can only do SCENES from a fic...not necessarily a whole fic. But also like goes into discussion on what would be a GREAT fic. you know? Hmmm. While writing this part I remember something. I DID ask the korrasami community (on here??? idr) to write to The Clockworks and/or Terrible Fate . But I also came up with Apotheosis for an great piece, but I can't tell you for who or what or why. it's just a beautiful piece. And for reading...i mostly have to decide on what the story is? I used to do the Time Rifts songs from "A Hat in Time" game, but I don't do that as of late. But it's mostly like..chill and relaxed songs. But now I kinda have to find a song that fits what's going on lol.

[side note before the next question. Most if not all of my stories involve a song that inspired the scene/chapter. And I do note it on the more recent ones]

9. How do you find new fic to read?

lol. I decide by searching for korrasami fics and then use the tag filter for whatever mood i'm in. Whether it's for fluff or hurt/comfort. I'm usually looking for one chapter unless something else catches my eye, whether it's from mass enjoyment and mention from the community on here or like if a certain style comes up on the upload feed catches my attention.

10. How do you decide what to write?

USUALLY. it's like if there's a writing challenge going on? I have missed EVERY SINGLE Korrasami week prompts. But I have done multiple month long challenges. OR if I HAD TO WRITE THIS STORY RIGHT NOW!!!! and my procrastination doesn't win XD

Answering Questions for Fun

20 Questions More

This is a deeper and more detailed version of the 20 questions for AO3 fanfic writers.

I yanked the questions from someone in the supercorp fandom. I forget who. I never get tagged since I'm not really well known writer yet (I'm still a tumblr newbie!), so I'm doing this just for funsies and because I like answering questions.

I will be answering this for the supercorp and korrasami fandoms. My works are here (though I do one-shots on tumblr sometimes).

1) How do you keep getting ideas for your ship / fandom?

By existing, reading, listening, writing, watching things, staring at the sky and watching the clouds drift by. Seriously, my ADHD's superpower is generating ideas. So I have way too many of them, and I have a note in my Scrivener projects with all the ideas. If anyone needs more ideas, I'll spin out so many. lol

2) Which authors inspire you in your fandom, and why are they so freakishly good?

So for the Korrasami fandom, that would be @korrasamibottles for their fantastic oneshots, Progman for one of the best post-series fics I've ever read (seriously, the Asami Sato of RRU is awesome), Shigan for some amazing korrasami oneshots, FuzziFox for an adorable and action-y AU where Asami goes south with Korra, lovedeathcats for the best Indiana Jones AU ever, RainbowRosie for a great AU where bending has vanished, paxbanana's Place in the World is an interesting AU take on Korrasami. @asamiontop's Modern world AU is a must read (she also has some great supercorp one-shots). For supercorp? @jazzfordshire has exquisitely written fics, everything @fazedlight writes is gold, @snowydragonscave's oneshots are adorable, @mycatismyeditor has some great AU's that really dig into the characters, @ekingston has some of the best written AU's I've ever read, @karalovesallthegirls has the most hilarious fics ever (Mime fic), robie's AUs are some of the best slow burn I've read, TheUnforgivingMinute wrote a fantastic spookysupercorp, @coffeeshib floored me with their gorgeous prose, @rustingcat not only does amazing art but the fics are such a great slow burn, @chaotic-super's back to Krypton was absolutely goldmine of fun and digging into the lore of Krypton. I could go on. Let's just say I LOVE Y'all's fics. The above are the people who had the most impact on me personally. Where I learned the art of fanfic writing. Since I'm a science fiction writer, I tend toward creative writing techniques that don't always jive well in the fandom realm, so learning from others helps me refine my writing to use the least amount of words for the biggest impact possible. It's also great practice for my original fiction honestly.

3) Aside from the characters of your main ship, who are the characters you love to write?

I really love writing Sam Arias. Nia is also super fun to write, and writing Brainy and Lena arguing about science is always fun too. Alex is a littler harder for me to write (her snark is hard for me to capture), but she's a blast once I get in the right headspace for it. For Korrasami, I really love writing Jinora and Bolin. Asami considers both of them basically siblings at this point, and Korra does too actually. heh.

4) Are there pairings or tropes you know for sure you'd never write about? Which ones?

I will NEVER EVER writing Makorra - that is a clusterfuck I will never touch. Hell, it's why I didn't rewrite book 1 of TLOK for my Shared Moments series because I really didn't want to touch it at all. lol I just skipped to the six months after and started there. I'll NEVER write Lames or any relationship that features Mon-el. Nope. Not touching it. I prefer to write sapphic pairings for the main protagonists. Sure, side characters can have het pairings (like Brainy and Nia), but I won't write a fic with them as the focus. Other folks can do that.

5) What is your writing process and why is it cursed?

Step 1: Wake up, wash up, and get tea. Step 2. Cuddle the cat to prepare myself. Step 3: Put on my compression gloves and stretch my arms. Step 4: Put on the correct playlist (absolutely essential step otherwise it'll throw off the entire scene and then I have to start over.) Step 5: Try to avoid Tumblr. (Doesn't always work, this place is cursed I swear. lol) Step 6. Open Scrivener project (who am I kidding, these primary projects are always open on m computer). Write while my brain is cooperating. (30 to 40 minutes before I got to rest for 45 minutes then I can start writing again. Chronic illness sucks like that.) Step 7: realize I need to research something and lose two hours to that. Step 8: AO3 emailed me! Who commented this time! Oh noes, now I've fallen down the looking at the Internets.

The other thing I do is carry my journal everywhere to document everything and end up with some weird random poetry, drawings, and dialogue from people I overhear. Oh, and on bad brain days, I'll draw cursed images.

I also use Scrivener and go all haywire on all its features to a ridiculous extent. Like, I try to stuff ALL my outlines, research, scenes, into that Scrivener so it's all in one place, that way I don't forget anything. It makes for large projects. ha.

6) What is your favorite part of your writing process?

Incorporating my research into the story in subtle ways to fill out the world and immerse the reader more fully. It's fun to put some of this research in the end-notes for my fics on AO3. (The power AO3 gave us writers with those end-notes!!)

7) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to research for a fic?

Maturation of bird species and the DNA overlap with human beings to see if I can craft an alien species that is at least 90% DNA similar to humans but is more birdlike.

I looked up the absorption of chemicals through skin. (This is why I use duckduck go for anonymity for this sort of stuff. LOL)

8) Is there a particular writing rule you struggle with (grammar, spelling, tense, reality in general)?

Reality in general - ha. Seriously though, the chronic illness makes it really hard to concentrate and have energy for writing or really anything. The second thing I struggle with is I have an annoying habit of adapting my tenses to what I'd last read. So if the story I read was past-tense, I'll jump into my writing using past tense (which most of my stories is that tense, but there's two that aren't so that's when it gets annoying).

9) What was your hardest scene to write so far and why?

The hardest scene was the end of Book 3 for Shared Moments for the Korrasami series. Both Asami and Korra (due to the bond they forged by accident at Harmonic Convergence) are captured by Zaheer, so that was a brutally painful set of scenes. Full of pain, fighting, poisoning, and a struggle to survive. I wept through it honestly. Whew. Yikes. For Supercorp, the hardest scene was when Nia assists Lena with her dreams and memories of her birth mother. Those were so sad and I totally teared up writing them. It was also hard to sort out the best way to reveal details without giving too much away either. Since Nia's powers are a little all over the place too.

10) Have your characters ever done something you didn’t expect, changing your plot completely?

All the time! For the TLOK: Shared Moments series, Asami keeps surprising me, so I often have to sit down and remap her timeline, and it always enriches the entire series. For Supercorp, Nia keeps doing things that surprise me. She's like this chaotic good agent that adds in humor and twists that enrich the tale in subtle ways I think. There's many other surprising moments the characters do. That's half the fun! Seeing where the characters end up and if I need to adjust my plans. :D

11) If you could converse with any of the characters, who would it be and why?

That's a tie between Asami Sato and Lena Luthor honestly. But then I sort of think of them as basically the same person (Lena may be more neutral in temperament while Asami is chaotic good. Also, Asami isn't afraid to fly planes and crash them for Korra. Lena would prefer no flying. lol). I just wanna talk science with them. Oh and ask them about how in-love they are with Korra and Kara respectively. (Lena will try to deny it, but Asami will gush and admit it because she's a little more in touch with her feelings). I just love these two so much. :D

12) What are some of the tropes or themes that you find yourself returning to in your writing?

Healing journeys. I really enjoy writing healing from trauma, because I feel like it's so relevant for our times, and the characters never really get that in their series (well, Supergirl characters don't, and they really need it!).

The theme of chosen family is another theme I come to again and again. Partly due to how my life is -- my bio family is not healthy for me (outright abusive), so my chosen family is my real family. So I like to dig into those dynamics a lot.

I also tend to write the survivor narrative a lot. It's a more interesting narrative structure, but it's also less used so that can startle readers. Sometimes in good ways? A good example of a survivor narrative structure is TLOK actually.

Another good example of the survivor narrative is Sam Arias' journey in Season 3 of Supergirl. Maybe I'll write an essay someday on it.

13) What's your most important resource as a writer?

There's isn't any one most important resource. I'd say fellow writers and artists is a great resource, lore books is another, random research books (yes, I have a guide to weapons for writers, guide for poisons for writers, guide to x or y for writers, because I'm a nerd like that), the Internet, and lots of listening to others.

14) Can you share some of your strategies for editing and revising your work?

For editing/revising, I start with SPAG: spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Once I do a few run-throughs of that, then I look at the dialogue -- Is the dialogue true to the character's personality and quirks? Can I make the dialogue more succinct?

After that, I look at descriptions: Is the description immersive? Do I utilize the five senses in a concise way? Can I pare down the description while still keeping the immersive quality? Is there any description that doesn't add to the scene or character's growth and can that be moved to a different scene or saved for later?

Finally, I do a fresh read-through and check how it impacts my emotions. Do I laugh at the funny parts? Do I tear up at the sad/angst parts? Does it feel too dry or not emotive enough? What words could be used instead to better invoke emotions?

15) Which is worse: making the summary, picking the tags, or the anxiety when you post your fic?

Ugh, summaries are the worst. Sometimes it's easier to just pick an excerpt of a scene and slap that as the summary. Tags are even worse. I never know what to use for tags, especially since people seem to be kind of random with AO3 tags. I mean, I feel like some writers just will write a statement as a tag and it's amusing but also confusing.

16) How do you define success for your fanfic - hits? Kudos? Comments? Bookmarks? Or just if you like it?

I don't really measure success.

If I get comments from folks that say they're enjoying it? That's a source of joy for me but it's not about success. Because I'm writing mostly for my enjoyment, but to hear that others enjoy it too? Damn, that's like the best news ever. It really helps me feel better about myself and my writing. Like I'm valued and not forgotten. That I actually have an impact. So yeah, go leave comments if you like stuff, please. Us writers love it.

17) Do you have a playlist for your favorite character / ship?

YES. I Always make a playlist for each project I do. I craft it based on their personality, their character arcs, the mood of the piece, and I focus on a variety of genres. I think about the lyrics of songs and try to match it all together. I might spend way more time on playlists than I need, but since I have them playing as I write, I need them to fit the mood and atmosphere to increase inspiration.

18) If fan art was going to be made from your work, which fic would you pick and which fan artist would you like to create it?

Um. Huh. This is a hard question. I try to draw my own, but I can't do color (y'all that do color, are freaking WIZARDS). I think Confession fic and the scene where Lena resurrects Kara, and if and when I have money again, I'd ask @rustingcat if commissions are open for them.

For Korrasami, I'd choose Book 3 or 3.5 but I'm not sure on the artist.

19) How many WIPs do you currently have?

UM. If I count just fanfics, probably fifteen. I'm actively working on six. (Three in each fandom. Two are usually shorter, and one is the longer fic) If we include original fiction and fanfiction? Uhhhhh. Hahahah, that's like twenty-five or so. I'm only working on one original fiction piece set on my SF world of Elivera.

20) What's your advice to new fanfic writers?

Pace yourself and take some time to edit and revise before posting. Also, take some time to review the transcripts and how the characters talk. That can give some fun insight into the characters and ways to expand on them in interesting ways.

Ask questions a lot! There's so many nice folks in the fandom, and folks are so kind about answering questions. I know because I still ask questions and talk to folks about this, and more seasoned writers have been so lovely.

Write what you want. Don't write for your readers (unless someone requests and pays you for a fic, then I guess write for them. lol) but otherwise, write what you want. This is supposed to be fun. If you're getting stressed out, take a break otherwise you will get burned out. To avoid burn out, take time to rest. Read a bit, do fun hobbies, do some practice writing, and then dive back into your fic.

Yes, it's important to try to finish things, but don't feel pressured. Remember, having fun is crucial! It's okay to take your time. Readers will stick with you if they like your tale.

Happy Writing!

P.S. I'm going to quote Brenda Ueland who wrote one of the best books on writing (If You Want to Write):

“Don't always be appraising yourself, wondering if you are better or worse than other writers. "I will not Reason and Compare," said Blake; "my business is to Create." Besides, since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of Time, you are incomparable. ” - Brenda Ueland

And:

“I want to assure you with all earnestness, that no writing is a waste of time, – no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work. With every sentence you write, you have learned something. It has done you good. It has stretched your understanding.” - Brenda Ueland

Wu had almost been startled by the intensity of the gold eyes looking at him. Wu had barely noticed anything else about him, at first. Those eyes. What was it about those eyes? Wu wonders. Wu realizes with a moment of clarity. Wu had felt seen. It’s like the man was boring into Wu’s mind with his gaze. Like he could read Wu’s thoughts. That should be terrifying! Wu’s been lying to them, there are airbenders in Ba Sing Se and the way that man had scrutinized Wu… It should make Wu feel frightened, worried that he’ll be found out for the liar that he is. But Wu doesn't feel terrified at all. There was no malice or anger behind those eyes—gold and illuminating, narrowing ever-so-slightly, widening pupils that seemed piercingly fathomless—no, there was something else… Understanding?
