AU Meme
Give me an AU prompt, and I'll write you something of at least a hundred words. All AUs I've done before, except LaS, Assimilation, Flint, and DotM, can be requested. I might deny some prompts if they involve something plot-centric to the last part of "Bedrock".
Give a character name, then AU prompt. More details make me happy, though I can't promise I'll touch on everything in the prompt.
Three slots for everybody, five slots for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dark_puck, spyridona, suzukiblu, and neldluva. Bonus slots are available if you request Zhao, Pakku, or Jeong Jeong.
I promise to answer at least one request.

The adventures of the Blind Bandit (or her equivalent) in the Codex Avatar universe.
If Aang were, say, a girl, would she have a crush on Sokka instead? Would anything be different?
Evil Airbenders
In ages past, the world fell to ruins. Towers were cast down from the sky, islands fell into the sea, the earth split and swallowed cities, and fire ravaged markets.
The world saw the Avatar do nothing.
Arigh, before he was known as the Black, watched it all. The youth, the youngest airbending master in generations, flew to the highest tower of his city and wove an airbending like the telescopes the Water Federation turned to the stars.
He saw Avatar Amrita help. He saw her dance up the earthquakes, saffron robes whirling. He saw her fires join with her twisters to maim and kill. He saw the hungry waves rise at her behest.
He saw death. He saw no sign of the spirits his mentors had taught him to revere, only their force in the world destroying it.
Arigh, who would become the Black, climbed down the tower and turned his attention to the remnants of the WorldNet. He researched, he made print-outs. He gathered friends and family.
He left Marrow the Golden, the last great city still in the world, and he went out to help.
He was a youth. He did not see as Avatar Amrita did. He did not see the way the Earth Empire poisoned the world, the way the Water Federation was so close to leaving it and destroying the balance, the way the Fire States would ever be a mass of seething tension and turmoil and violence, the way the Air Nation was being erased generation after generation.
He was a youth. He grew into a man in a world in ruins, where too many were poisoned by the world as it had been. The poison seeped into him, until the reason he had left was lost and the sacred tattoos of his people were covered over with black patterns.
Arigh the Black rode wild and terrible, and the world might have died from his winds if Avatar Amrita had not confronted him in the fading glory of Marrow the Golden.

Took a lot of inspiration from this ficlet (http://the-pen-calls.livejournal.com/10368.html?thread=192128#t192128) by

This also reminds me of the Wheel of Time, what with there being a super-high-tech past, wherein the world was broken, and then the 'future' is more medieval.
