Ask Me To Write You Stuff!

It is time to balance my meme karma, since I've been abusing both [livejournal.com profile] suzukiblu and [livejournal.com profile] banditjoeykuba's awesomeness lately.

So I will be writing anything Avatar, Transformers: Deadzone, or Transformers: Animated in the comments. Including any AU I've babbled at you about. Or any AU you can think of. Or anything involving my OCs. (I will only write other people's OCs with their permission, so you'll have to get their permission first and have them communicate it to me.)

Restrictions:
- Three requests per person, unless I tell you you can ask for more
- If you ask for "So-and-so is awesome", I am putting my iPod on shuffle and writing to whatever song comes up first

Meme is closed.

Two letters written on one page, found in Ba Sing Se's archives by she who once was Aang, once was Roku, once was Kyoshi.

Master Piandao,

Jeong-Jeong is a pain to track down. Seriously, why does Aang need him again? And why can't you just send him a messenger hawk?

Ran into Haru the other day. Long-haired earthbender guy, you remember? Well, if you don't, tough. He's heading to Ba Sing Se. Looking for Toph to ask if he can train under her. Not a bad idea, really. I think he could learn a lot from her, and he's old enough now that the Dai Li won't be interested in him.

Haven't heard from Firelord Jerkbender in a while. (He's Jerkbender until he apologizes for saying that to Ty Lee. Seriously, the guy has the social skills of a rock.)

I miss you. I need to go back home after I find Jeong-Jeong for Aang. The tribe needs me. Maybe I'll be able to come back to the Fire Nation in a few years.

Think how unspeakably sweet
the taste of snow at midsummer,
how sweet a kind spring breeze
after the gales of winter.

But as we all discover,
nothing's quite as sweet
as one large cloak
wrapped around two lovers.

Sokka,

Jeong-Jeong has had many years to learn how to become hard to find. Being able to be found by a messenger hawk would be counter-productive to hiding from the Army, wouldn't it? I don't need to remind you why Aang needs him. Thankfully, since you haven't actually told me that either.

I do remember Haru.

Do what you need to do, Sokka. Your family is important, and I will be glad to see you no matter when next that is.

'I like the touch of noting the Avatar's past lives in the 'records'. And Sokka being so spastic and well, Piandao being an artist makes me VERY happy. "

Now that I think about it, Aang's an artist too. Unless the Macaroni Lord picture has lines under the noodles.

And now looking back, there are all these little details that Sokka gives that I want to know about. (What did Jerkbender do, this time?)

I am not honestly sure what Zuko did this time, but I am open to suggestions!

The bit with Haru will come up again in a later fic, assuming I ever write it.

*bweeeeee!* XD MY CRAVING IS SATED. <333

Dude, that was UNSPEAKABLY romantic. Also, Piandao is a perv. <333333 *hearts. hearts so hard.*

AND POET SOKKA. :DDDDDDDD I love how his letter is so matter-of-fact and exasperated and HIM riiiiight up until "oh noes it might be a while before we can hang again" and then suddenly, BAM: LOVE POETRY. BETTER'N BA SING SE, BABY.

I reaaally like the history-feeling behind this, too--with "she who once was" as the almost-narrator except not at all and how Piandao is just fine with waiting for Sokka to come to him whenever he can and Sokka's so much younger and frustrated and short about it. "I miss you, they need me, maybe."

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

What, I ask, is the point of being an artist if one cannot render erotica? *grins*

Sokka totally learns more poetry in my head-canon. He's got a natural knack for it, as demonstrated by the haiku slam. Plus, so much fun to go digging through my erotic poetry book for something appropriate. Really pleased the letter came across as in-character.

*purrs and twines around* Some things deserve to be remembered.

Hello person. Here via [personal profile] suzukiblu's Captain Avatar index. This, along with the Sokka and Zuko fic elsewhere in this meme, makes me want to start chewing through your archives. I (urgently, severely, desperately) need to sleep tonight, but I think I may spend much of tomorrow relaxing while reading your journal. Thank you for writing this.
