AU Meme

[beckyh2112]

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 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.

MEME IS CLOSED.

Zuko, firebenders are cannibalists.

Iroh, and/or the Gaang. Ozai executed Zuko after he arrived to Fire Nation at the beginning of third season.

Zuko, I post this prompt to Avatar_bigbang and no one has atleast admitted doing something with it. Iroh followed his son soon after to the death, so Zuko didn't have a other father figure. Ozai pretty much ignored him until one of his advisors commented on Zuko's skill at stealth (Blue Spirit!). Ozai got interested about this and called the master of the Guild and made Zuko his apprentice. The Guild is all about spying and assasination. Zuko is trained by them and he has definitive talents on that area. And Avatar arrives and Zuko with a group of other Guild members are in Earth Kingdom spying. Sometime during the second season preferably, but it's up to you!

(Ignore this if you want, I am not sure if this is a right kind of a prompt but woman!Pakku has to deal with very stubborn boys at the Northern Water Tribe)

Evil Zuko AU: Jeong-Jeong is obliged to decline a "request" from the new firelord to return to active service.

Vampatar AU: Azula cleans out a nest of bipedal nocturnal mosquitos, ponders on whether or not they can be used to her advantage

Evil Zuko AU: Suki vs Azula. "Stay away from my man!"

Tortall crossover/fusion? Ozai would make a great Orzone, the Carthaki Emperor- or perhaps the Fire Nation dovetails with the Yamani Isles, and Zuko's been sent as part of the marriage treaty with the Tortallan royalty.

Zuko wished his sister away to the goblins- now he quests to get her back, but is she just as dangerous as the trials he faces?

Shall think of others later.

Rose by another name Sokka flirting with Zuko

Star Wars: Imperial Lieutenant Zhao approves of the TIE Interceptor.

Selkie: Katara meets Lt. Jee again after Siege of the North.

Vampatar: Haru wakes up one morning with Katara-woof on his bed.

I will add on when I am more awake. DX Awake now!


Pakka and Illiivat's father. :D

Star Wars/Transformers: Imperial Lieutenant Dave deals with the autonomous Interceptors.


EDIT: Because you clarified the Bonus Slots thing...

Long Feng and the Dai Li; Ancient Rome.

I would like to see your version of evil!airbenders.

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?

[childofatlantis.livejournal.com]

I am so stealing this. :D

[gigabomb.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling my first one might be rejected on the basis of spoiling something for the last part of Bedrock, but might as well give it a try. I am also not sure what DotM stands for, so sorry if I request something from that 'verse by accident.

Ozai, what he was doing during the Day of Black Sun/Sozin's Comet in Bedrock.

Pakku, meeting the new Fire Avatar (Fire Avatar Ozai-verse)

Zhao, not quitting Jeong Jeong's training due to stubornness and/or more complicated reasons

[flowerflute.livejournal.com]

Zei, steampunk AU. He is a shiny archeologist/anthropologist/studier of anything and anyone he can find in the Dust Wastes. Him nerding over something in the middle of a storm, ignoring his own well being for the chance to research would be AWESOME.

I might take another promt later.

1)You’ve recently been studying ancient mideastern culture, correct? Then allow me to present an AU challenge for you. Avatar has a culture background/inspiration from the far east. I ask for an AU with the equivalent background for mideastern culture. Like canon avatar, I don’t want direct correlations, but general thoughts (Earth kingdom doesn’t always follow China, Fire Nation has inspirations from both India and Japan).

Oh and character….. Aang?

2)Aang- People grumble that the avatar is not harsh enough. They are fools, imagine a world where the Avatar was wrathful.

And I think I’ll keep the third till I think of something.

I am sad that I can't request more Lightening at Sea Toph-Zuko interaction (because I think the idea of Zuko having a protective Toph for a wife both hilarious and AWESOME).

So instead... I would love to see some of Aang's lessons with Avatar Ozai. :) I have a feeling that their personalities clash in an epic way... especially if, for instance, Aang were to teach Ozai airbender games as a way to practice airbending (not that Ozai would understand the practical side of this teaching technique, I think, or at least not at first).

A Rose By Any Other Name (because this au needs more love) - Zuko at the Western Air temple, trying to sort out his gender identity. The members of the GAang are either supremely helpful or unhelpful, depending. Really, I would just like Sokka and others to express shock at finding out the fact that their arch-nemesis was an unwillingly female man... and is kind of messed up in the head. Really, the GAang dealing with the psychological ramifications of all of this.

(Man, I'm not being coherent today. I used up all of my eloquence on the 7,000 word paper I handed in this morning. :P )

Iroh, and/or the Gaang. Ozai executed Zuko after he arrived to Fire Nation at the beginning of third season.

I'm not going to write this one. You can choose another prompt for that slot.

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Give prompts, too! You'll note my lack of fandom restrictions. ;-)

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

I really like these prompts, but the first two hit on some major plot points that I'd rather handle in fic when I have time to do things that come before.

You can choose another two prompts for those slots.

[childofatlantis.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I thought this was Avatar only. Hmmm. I shall get back once I've had a think. :D

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Jeong Jeong never left the Firelord's service (reason's up to you... Maybe Iroh talked him into staying?) and now the only person in the way of Zhao's ambition is his former teacher.

Either Iroh, Piandao, or Jeong Jeong (or multiple members therein) is/are a woman/women. Pakku takes objection when they join the Order of the White Lotus.

Before he was banished, Zuko got Mai pregnant and she and her family are in disgrace because of it.

[gigabomb.livejournal.com]

Alright. Hm...

Ozai, if Aang was brought out of hibernation twenty-five/thirty-five years earlier

Lu Ten, if he didn't die at the walls of Ba Sing Se

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Before he was banished, Zuko got Mai pregnant and she and her family are in disgrace because of it.

... Mai was twelve. That'd almost certainly kill her at that tech level. Please choose another prompt for that slot.

Given how young people married and had kids in the preindustrial age, it couldn't be that certain. Never mind though, I don't want to think about that anyway. Age them up, say three years?

Sokka: AU, w/ Water Tribe heroes as WW2-style air aces

Scott Summers, mutants-are-vampires AU: accidentally made Black King of the Hellfire Club and its decadent empire

Matrix: mid-S3 ReBoot, as censored and lightened by BSnP

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Sokka: AU, w/ Water Tribe heroes as WW2-style air aces

I don't know anywhere near enough about WW2 air aces to pull this off in a way I would personally find acceptable. Please choose another prompt for that slot.

Azuka: Fire Nation villain cast as a travelling rock band, with the heroes as their rivals

[spyridona.livejournal.com]

- 'Xi', whore!verse; Ambition and curiosity; a dangerous combination. Xi finds out who his mother is.

- Younger!Zuko; Azula is the elder sibling, destined for the Throne. What does Zuko have to fight for?

- Female!Pakku; The trip was hard and you invited Firebenders, Bumi? Pakka hates you, you big, stupid, old jerk. Pre-Old Masters. Platonic cuddling.

- Iroh'n'Ozai; The Dragon and Phoenix hatched from the same nest. Preening and brotherly affection.

- Zhao. Avatar and Hellfire/X-Men fusion. Checkmate; feel free to give Zhao powers that suit if plain ol’ ‘Fire’ doesn’t inspire.

- Song/Ozai !Fae. The fae of the White Jade has his new gift. However, she is not happy and if she isn’t happy, no one is. Treat the ‘/’ as how you see fit.

- Jeong Jeong, AU Rome, Legatus; how can one throw away a senatorial ranking?

- Hakozai, AU Rome, not all men are equal. Dark as you may wish.

- Star Wars Avatar Fusion: Aang Solo decides that Princess Azula Organa is much scarier to deal with than Intergalactic Mafia.

... I swear I will stop adding now.

I mean it, this time.

[lunatron.livejournal.com]

...well, you didn't say NOT Transformers AUs, and I really loved your Bowshock AU, so...

- Elita One, Alpha Trion, and Shockwave, Prompt: Alpha Trion chained to the wall again; Elita One demands an explanation for this jetslag
- Bowshock and Ultra Magnus, Prompt: chess (or space robot chess-analogue)
- Bowshock and Beta, Prompt: archery lessons

If these are not okay, let me know, and I'll think of something else.

...I keep reading about women who were widowed, with kids, at about that age in my Middle Ages books. >_>

But it may not be appropriate for the Avatar Universe, given that from little I wiki of it, parents mostly seem to be 20s-ish or older.
