Meme ganked from Rin
I have a list of Avatar characters and a list of a few of my favorite Avatar AUs, and I have numbered/lettered both of them. Pick a letter between A-F, one or two numbers between 1-20, and give me a prompt--mood, song lyric, whatever--and I will drabble you something based on the combination. Responses may or may not be either gory, porny, or

The war is over.
Jet feels it in the land, in the wind, in the entire world. He feels furies stop and take notice of something.
His fury cowers in fear, making his bones rattle and the earth shiver with cracks.
The war is over.

After, he doesn't know where he goes or why. He just follows the earth, the cracks in it and the earthquakes. He follows, one foot in front of another, his eyes on the ground, his thoughts far from his body.
He senses his fury smashing other furies, feral furies that would harm him. The cracks in the earth get bigger, the quakes harder. His earth fury is taking other earth furies. Getting stronger. More powerful.
He puts one foot in front of the other.

Gentle hands touch his wrist, his forehead. Earth rattles then subsides, warm soil curling around his hard rock.
"It's all right," someone says. "It's all right. You haven't had any water for too long, that's all. Let me just get you out of the sun..."
That's not all, he wants to say, but his lips are cracked and dry and his mouth feels like a desert.
Breasts press against his side, and earthborn strength hefts him up. His eyes flicker open, and he sees a girl, a pretty girl, with a long braid and kind eyes. She smiles at him and he is too weak to smile back before she puts him in a soldier's carry across her shoulders.
The disconnect from the earth feels like his bones breaking, and he groans in pain.
"Sssssssh," she soothes, her strides becoming more measured and longer. She does not jostle him hardly at all, but she is covering so much distance. "Your fury is with us. I feel him. Sssssh."
He feels his fury, too, and the warm soil curled around it like the smell of the girl's hair curling around his body.
He misses his mother, he thinks dimly, but this girl is just as safe.
