Prompt 2: Politics

[sidleypkhermit]

The political is personal. The personal is political. For presidents or queens, for rabble-rousing activists or overworked campaign staffers, politics giveth and taketh away. Often at the same time. 

Day 2: Politics - Fic and Art Rec

[lightbird]

Title/Link: Dance to Another Tune
Creator: carnationsandrobots
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Mai, Aang, Zuko, Suki, Hakoda, Ty Lee, Toph, Katara, Sokka
Media: Fic, Art
Rating: Teen and Up
Word count: 50,000+
Summary: A few things Mai understands better after the war. Or, how Mai learned to stop worrying and let the Avatar institute nationally mandated dance lessons.

Notes: This is a terrific Mai-centric long fic that takes place post-canon. The author does such a good job with Mai's characterization and viewpoint, the post-canon story makes sense and is filled with details about post-war politics. Canon and original characters are well-drawn, and the Mai-Aang bonding throughout the fic is fantastic.

Also check out kiaraalazulu's gorgeous, touching artwork for this fic. The artist chose one of the saddest and most poignant scenes in the story and rendered it beautifully. There is also an image description at the link.
