Now that I've got a better idea of the
history, I can take more free-ranging prompts. Plus I've got some surprises tucked away that I want a chance to spring on people.
Two requests, four to
suzukiblu,
dark_puck,
spyridona,
gigabomb, and
floranna. I reserve the right to fill one and call it done. If I don't like a prompt, I'm just going to skip it entirely.
Have at.
MEME IS CLOSED.
Haru; balance
Zhao; afterlife
Yue and Zuko; opposites

Fold his wings down close and tight before he pulls on his shirt.
Look in the polished bronze mirror.
If he squints-
No, he still doesn't look very human at all.
From a distance, it's good enough.
But the Fire Nation is here, in his village, and 'from a distance' isn't good enough anymore.

Thank you for this, darling.

This is new.
His wings settle around him in a shroud. This isn't new, this hiding; it's the first thing he learned how to do as a boy, even before all of his other tricks and crafts.
He sneaks forward as the warden mocks Katara, mocks his people, mocks his father. His hand closes around a piece of coal-
He shoots upright, wings flaring and spikes slashing out of the tip of his tail. His throw is neat and sure.
The warden whirls and catches the slap of Haru's spiked tail across his face.
The spikes are new, too, but he thinks he likes them.

Now go with Katara to kick the ass and take the names!

"You can't take him," she whispers. Her tears are like diamonds, and his blood on her opalescent claws is obscene.
"You can't stop me," Zuko husks, fire licking from his mouth. Tiger-stripes show on his skin, and the cheek opposite his scar oozes blood. Silver teeth flashes as he smiles.
He smells peach-blossoms as her eyes flash, but in the end, she is only water and survival, while he is fire and life.

Oh, man. Poor, poor Yue.
