[image description: A digital drawing of a screenshot of a facetime call between Zuko and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Zuko is in the big picture, Sokka in a little one in the right upper corner. Both are shown from the bust up. Zuko is standing in front of the ocean with white foam behind him. His hair is messy from the wind and he smiles. He is wearing a dark grey shirt and a red open button-down shirt. Sokka is inside with a beige wall behind him, above his head is a shelf with books. He wears blue over-ear headphones and smiles fondly to the camera. His hair is down and he wears a bi pride shirt with „Both? Both.“ written on it. / end id]
My second piece for the @atla18reversebang! I had so much fun and I hope you’ll love the fic inspired by this picture as much as I do! (Link to brooke’s amazing fic.)
[IMAGE ID: A photo of a beach, taken from above. The shoreline runs down the middle of the photo; the ocean is on the left, the beach on the right. Written in the center of the photo is "come on home (you don't have to be alone) a zukka fic by beachytablecloth inc." END ID]
come on home (you don't have to be alone) by beachytablecloth. written for @atla18reversebang. inspired by this amazing art by @wortvermis and beta-ed by the wonderful @spectralcentroid <3
rating: T
pairing: sokka/ zuko
wc: 14k (oneshot)
summary: And for some reason it’s this—the weight of Sokka’s key, cold in his palm—that has Zuko’s eyes blurring with tears, the emotion in his chest almost too heavy to bear.
Zuko wishes he could say something—how much he’ll miss him, how much he hopes he has an amazing time even though it’s killing him that he’s leaving—but the words all get caught in his throat, and he fears if he opens his mouth something like a sob might come out. So he just hugs Sokka back, as tightly as he can, and hopes that’s enough to communicate how he feels.
or
Zuko and Sokka are roommates and best friends. It isn't until Sokka decides to study abroad for a summer that Zuko realizes how much he means to him.

[ID: A digital art piece of a modern Jet. He’s sitting on a bench in a park in autumn, holding a guitar. His guitar case is open by his feet.

The @atla18reversebang was a fantastic experience. I drew this piece of firespinner Zuko:
ID: Most of the image is dark. In the foreground, Zuko is shown from the back, from the knees up. He is spinning a fire prop known as a rope dart. A rope wraps from his wrist around his waist, loosely through his hand at the small of his back, and to right above his shoulder, where the ball of fire at the end hovers mid-spin. Zuko looks towards the fire as it illuminates his face, hair, and shoulder. Zuko is dressed in a ragged vest and pants with chains and buckles. There's an industrial piercing in his ear, and his hair is styled in a fluffy mohawk. He wears a half-glove on the hand manipulating the rope and there's a fire-lily tattoo on his elbow. In the background, a crowd watches in amazement with Sokka, Yue, and Suki at the front. Sokka is wearing a blue and black dress shirt, vest, and top hat costume. Yue wears a purple leotard and skirt with a crescent moon on the chest and a headband, and is holding hands with Suki, who wears green leggings and a green long sleeve cropped shirt with a star on the chest. Suki's hair is in an undercut. Yue smiles knowingly at Sokka. END ID
This was ficced by the fantastic @zukorrasami, who wrote this:
Sokka spotted flames out of the corner of his eye and was about to panic until he looked over to the stage and processed what was happening. There was a man on the stage, and in the darkness surrounding it, it almost looked like he was spinning fire around using his arms. The closer Sokka got, the more awed he became. Up close, he could see that he wasn’t spinning fire around per se, but rather a rope that had something burning at the end of it, which was somehow even more impressive to Sokka. He watched entranced as the rope snaked around his back, as he threw it forward and swung it from side to side, as it spun in front of him, encircling him in fire.
or, Sokka goes to a con with Suki and Yue, and sees the most mesmerising fire performance, and he absolutely has to talk to the guy.
Meanwhile, Zuko is freaking out because his online best friend saw him perform at a con and has no idea how it would affect their relationship if he told Sokka the truth.

You know how I was complaining about writing something crazy and winding up shipping it hard by the end? Here it is.
Title: The Little Red House on the Coast of Shaozu Fandom: Avatar the Last Airbender Ships: June/Colonel Mongke Rating: M/18+ Summary: June has always been an opportunist. So when she sees a chance to score some gold and a free night at the inn by giving a decent-looking Fire Nation soldier the use of her body, it's hardly a question. Until she does it again. And again. And again.
Written for the @atla18reversebang and inspired by this art by redflower42!
My piece for the Atla +18 Reverse Big Bang! I had fun drawing this, I wanted something soft and whimsical.
@redflower42 wrote a beautiful fic based on this art and I am so excited about the future chapters. I don't want to be your friend (I wanna kiss your lips)
Image ID:
Picture is fanart of Zuko and Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender. Both are facing the right with Sokka behind Zuko. Sokka has his left hand wrapped around Zuko and holding onto his arm and Sokka's right hand is holding Zuko's right hand and its extended out to their sides. They are embraced in a sort of dance with Sokka rocking Zuko from behind. Both are wearing shorts, red shorts for Sokka and blue shorts for Zuko. Zuko is looking behind him at Sokka with a soft look on his face and Sokka has his eyes closed and mouth open as if he is singing or saying something. They are in a room with half the front door open to let in sunlight and a forest is in the background.
