Prompt 1: War and Peace

[sidleypkhermit]

 

It's definitely February in some time zones by now, so off we go!

 

Some women are forged in the fires of war -- galactic, supernatural, or all too real. Some are led by their quest for peace -- outward or inward. Some, like Natasha up there, are characters from Leo Tolstoy's 1867 novel War and Peace. Whatever your interpretation, War and Peace is the theme for posting today.

Day 1: War and Peace - Fic Rec

[lightbird]

Title/Link: Anything Reasonable
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Creator: scintillio_coll
Character(s): Azula, Aang, Ty Lee, Mai, Iroh, Zuko and other members of The Gaang make appearances
Media: Fic
Rating: G
Word count: 21,000+
Summary: It's like asking her to no longer have black hair, to be someone else’s daughter, to face those who wronged her and not lay waste to every inch of their lives until their losses measure equal with hers. Freedom is worthless if she has to walk out of her cell as anything less than the person who went in. “What life?” she nearly screams, “What life are you offering me?” Azula makes tea and compromises.

Notes: Really interesting and well-written post-canon Azula-centric fic in which Azula is sent to live on the lion turtle in the aftermath of the war. It's tagged as "Aang/Azula if you squint", but it's really a gen fic, and not shippy. The fic is focused on Azula's healing, redemption, and making peace with her old friends.

Summary: In a world after the war where so much was lost, Miruko and Mount Lady have to adapt to the new order. Sometimes that means that both of them have big shirts to fill.

Notes: A short fic about fighting, knowing when to take a break, and grief. It's short, but packs an emotional punch. Major spoilers for an arc that is currently manga-only.

day 1: war and peace- fic rec- world and time enough

[svgurl]

Title: World and Time Enough
Fandom: Wonder Woman (2017)/DC Extended Universe
Creator: Della19
Pairing/Characters: Diana/Wonder Woman-centric, minor Diana/Steve, OFC/OFC
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Word Count: 7,144
Summary: The story Hippolyta told her daughter when she was a child was that she carved her from clay. That Zeus breathed life into her, this child she so desired, that she came into being.

This, Diana learns, for all that it was a kindness, was a lie.

Diana tells her daughter the truth; that she was born of love. Imperfect, too brief, human love.

The truth, Diana thinks, the ticking echo of Steve’s watch pounding away in her head - her heart - is rarely a kindness.

Or Diana; after.

Notes: Diana post the movie and how the war affected her and what happens when it rolls around again. Somehow, she finds moments of peace and her happy ending.
