Title/Link:broken pieces still belong
Creator:

Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Katara, The Gaang, Hakoda, Haru
Rating: T
Word Count: 20,594
Summary: “What if…” Katara’s voice was barely above a whisper, and she forcibly swallowed the lump in her throat. Her mother’s face floated before her, ash falling from the corners of her eyes. “What if I don’t…” Aang’s lifeless body flashed in her mind, lightning dancing across his spine. “What if I can’t forgive him?”

Forgiveness isn't easy. (And really, who ever said it was?) This fic follows Katara's emotional journey from the events of "The Western Air Temple" to those of "The Southern Raiders," as she experiences firsthand both the challenges and rewards of forgiving others (and perhaps even learns to forgive herself along the way).

Terrific longer Katara-centric story.

faerialchemist is a wonderful writer, whose AtLA stories are always worth reading, and she does a beautiful job writing Katara.

As a waterbender, Katara strikes me as a character who's in tune with nature and has a deep appreciation for it

Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Characters: Azula, Toph, Mai, Suki, Ty Lee, Katara
Rating: G
Summary: Before you know it, you are another femme fatality.

This is a stunningly written fic, with a section focused on each of AtLA's fierce young women characters and the mayhem (and sometimes murder) that each engages in. Really worth reading (as are all of

voleuse's AtLA stories - every one is beautiful).

(1) Fic 1 of 2 of the children will listen series:

Title/Link: Forgotten Language
Creator:

faerialchemist
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Kanna, Hama, Kaya, Katara, Hakoda
Media: Fic
Rating: Teen and Up
Word count: 2863
Summary: Nida paused. A smile twitched at the corners of her lips. “Well… There has always been more to bending than sheer ability.” She kissed the top of Kanna’s head, earning a delighted giggle from her daughter. “Would you like to know the most important rule?” Kanna sat up, nodding eagerly. “Yes!”
“To speak the language of the waters…” Her mother winked at her. “The first thing you must do is listen.”

Notes: First of two fics in the series, which explores waterbending as a language, the damage of war, and the process of healing. This prequel centers Kanna (aka Gran Gran), her departure from the Northern Water Tribe and her pending arranged marriage to Pakku, her arrival in the Southern Water Tribe, and her relationships with Hama, Kya, Hakoda, and Katara. It's angst, of course, and touches on backstory we see in the show itself and how that has affected Kanna and in turn her mother and granddaughter. The author has tagged for content, so check those out for any warnings.

(2) Fic 2 of 2:

Title/Link: Mother Tongue
Creator:

faerialchemist
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Katara, Kya, Kanna, Sokka, Aang, Pakku
Media: Fic
Rating: Teen and Up
Word count: 2919
Summary: “I love you, too, my dear.” Kanna exhales a shaky breath. “I’d never forgive myself if you don’t… if you left without knowing that.” Katara doesn’t miss her grandmother’s change of phrase. Kanna’s unspoken words are a truth, an ice in her veins Katara has tried so very hard to ignore. This might be goodbye.”

Notes: Second fic in this series and a Katara-centric companion piece to the fic above. It takes place pre-canon and continues through the series and past it, when Katara returns to the Southern Water Tribe after the war. The author has tagged for content, so check those out for any warnings.

I may be stretching the interpretation of the prompt a bit, but this is such a good little ficlet written from Ty Lee's POV.

Fandom(s): Mulan, Avatar: The Last Airbender
Creator:

Characters: Mulan, Mushu, Zuko, Iroh
Media: Fic
Rating: Teen and Up
Word count: 1500 words
Summary: Mulan was much too concerned about the young man’s flammability to care about his search for some monk.

Notes: Written for the

intoabar fest. My prompt was: "Fa Mulan goes into a bar and meets... Zuko!" Zuko and Iroh are present in the story, but they don't have dialogue. For the most part, the story is a Mulan outsider POV fic where Mulan has been transplanted into the AtLA world.

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.

Title/Link: Anything Reasonable

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.

All sfw and G-rated; maybe the one with an intact-but-bleeding eye is PG-13? A mix of femslash and solo images.

Star Trek: Discovery

Michael Burnham/Philippa Georgiou by elissastillstands/elissa: They're dancing; Michael's in a gown and Philippa is in a suit. They look gorgeous and happy, with a lot of blue and gold. Lovely and romantic.

Michael Burnham by oliversm: This is a look from the shoulders and above at Michael in her season three hair, with a serious expression. The coloring and style are reminiscent of a comic book. Badass.

Katara/Yue by rellyaangrlly/BK: They are gazing at each other, eyes half-closed, as if about to kiss. It's really sweet and cute.

Katara by crys: She's badass, in the middle of a waterbending move with a large moon in the background. Her hair and the water look like they're flowing on opposite sides of the image.

NOS4A2 TV

Vic McQueen by Bianca Burzotta: She looks pensive as her (intact) left eye bleeds; a transparent bat flies over half the image. There are two versions, one where the background is red, another where the background is blue. Poignant and a little spooky.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries TV/The Mummy (1999)

the librarian and the detective by comicArtistA: Evelyn Carnahan/Phryne Fisher art, both in color and in black and white. They're smiling, gazing into each other eyes. Gorgeous intimacy. There's a cute little story as to how they met up and got together before the art, too.

Rating: Teen

Summary: Azula, post-canon, picking up the pieces. When she tried, Paupau clicked her tongue behind her teeth and took Azula's small hand in her own, held securely in the tiger's mouth of her thumb and forefinger.

Notes: This is a beautifully written post-canon and also a backstory fic of Azula and her recovery, her past relationships with the women in her family and her friends, and how she heals and changes but is still very much Azula.

* Translation of the title is: Water Fire.

Character(s): Toph, Mai, Zuko
Rating: G

Summary: Post series. Toph visits Zuko and Mai in the Fire Nation, and Mai is surprised to find in her a kindred spirit. Not a romance fic, although there is Mai/Zuko at the end.

Notes: Fun, lovely fic about Mai getting to know Toph and how they struck up a friendship post-canon.
