a scene from @szecretary's the moon will sing for @kyoshinovelsbigbang!

Kyoshi sat on the steps of a modest house in the Middle Ring of Ba Sing Se, idly holding one of her fans in her left hand, creating a small whirlwind of dancing leaves. As she did this, she fought back a smile and pretended to not notice the children watching her with badly concealed wonder.

[ID: a digital drawing of kyoshi from the kyoshi novels and ATLA. she is older than in canon, at around 20 years old. kyoshi is sitting at the steps of an earth kingdom house.

she is wearing an outfit similar to the one she wore as a servant in yokoya, with slight modifications. she is wearing her hair loose on her shoulders. she is also wearing her gloves, and has one fan secured to the cloth tie at her waist.

kyoshi is holding the other fan with her left hand, and airbending gold ginko leaves with it. she looks with a bemused smile at a child in front of her, pointing at her airbending in wonder. the scene is lit in sunlight, casting long shadows across the base of the house.

The Moon Will Sing 

Carrying a weight as heavy as her Avatarhood meant Kyoshi would always be caught at the crossroads of existence. Destined for a lifetime of trials, endless years fighting upwards battles, and the knowledge that she would never achieve perfection.  When looking down from the eye of a storm of her own making, it was easy for Kyoshi to forget how vulnerable she truly was, once her feet touched solid ground.

A post-canon fic set two years after the end of the Camellia-Peony War, where Avatar Kyoshi sets course for the Eastern Air Temple, hoping to understand her past and her place in the world.

📖✨ Read on ao3.

I’m very happy about how this turned out! I hope that it’s a good time for anyone that decides to read it.

Thank you to Ophe, for her beta reading work and angelic patience, to Blarba for the beautiful art about which I am still screaming about, and to the amazing Kyoshi Novels Big Bang team for organizing this event.

My piece for @vivfractus ‘s fic ‘On Justice and Peace’ for the @kyoshinovelsbigbang event! lot of fun drawing this <3

In the blink of an eye Rangi had neatly tumbled across the saddle folding herself onto Kyoshi’s lap. Rangi reached up and brushed a loose hair out of Kyoshi’s face, the gentle gesture sent a wave of happiness through Kyoshi’s body.

[ID: A digital painting made to look similar to a poster. There’s a shining blue portal shown with Kyoshi and Rangi at the very front, looking upwards and nervous. Behind them on the left, Kirima and Wong are holding brooms as if a weapon. Behind Kyoshi and Rangi on the right, Lek also brandishes a broom. They’re all illuminated from above by a blue light. At the very bottom of the painting, Yun is outside the portal holding his head as if pained. A title is written below Rangi and Kyoshi and above Yun, which says, “Faults.” End ID]

the art i made for the @kyoshinovelsbigbang to be a companion for @heartofmara’s lovely fic Faults! the link to the fic’s tumblr post is here as well. thank you and beta reader @jhcl56, this was so fun to work on because of both of you! :D

[image ID: a scene drawing of Kyoshi and Rangi from @mitskigatekeeper​‘s fanfic, you come around and the armor falls. From an opening in their tent, Kyoshi cradles Rangi’s bandaged hand and strokes it gently, her brows furrowed in guilt. Rangi’s back is to the viewer, and the tent is lit with the soft orange glow of a kudlik sitting beside Kyoshi. In Kyoshi’s lap is a heru. Black bars frame the drawing, mimicking a movie screen, and text at the bottom reads, “I’m sorry for getting you into this.” End ID.]

summary:  

In a moment of fear after her encounter in the spirit world, Kyoshi runs away to a place she knows she won’t be found: the Eastern Sea, just near the South Pole. As the newest member of the Fifth Nation, Kyoshi plans to keep her past behind her. Yet while Kyoshi grapples with the deaths of her loved ones, her newfound powers, and the threat of Jianzhu lurking behind her, Rangi is tasked with returning the Avatar to Yokoya. But when Rangi finds Kyoshi, she hesitates to bring her to Jianzhu and her mother. As the girls spend more time together and the fleet of pirates, they discover more about themselves and each other.

my companion piece to @softgaycontent ‘s fic “Kyoshi Book 3: Air” for the @kyoshinovelsbigbang this was an amazing challenge that I loved tackling!

The sharp slope of the mountain meets in a pointed spire, cutting through the clouds. Winding paths carved into the rock add to the stunning beauty of the temple, a complex, manmade structure incomprehensibly resting a mile above sea level.
Rangi gasps, one hand releasing from the reins to cover her mouth. Kyoshi and Jinpa had agreed that she should take the best seat in the house for their arrival to the Southern Air Temple, but now a part of Kyoshi regrets putting her up front. She’d really like to see her face right now.

When Yun learns he isn’t the Avatar, his spirit breaks. But this time, Jianzhu does one thing differently. Yun returns home.

As every treaty and agreement he has brokered becomes void, Yun watches. As the sweet servant girl is presented as the real Avatar, Yun watches. As his self worth lies in shattered glass and Kyoshi tearfully apologizes, Yun watches.

But he lives.

And over the course of years, he heals.

My story for the @kyoshinovelsbigbang! I’m incredibly proud of it and I’m so excited to share it with y’all. I had a lot of fun worldbuilding and adding elements from my own culture, and it was therapeutic to write Yun’s mental health journey. Thank you to @sokkatheartist for beta-ing, @disabledyue for the artwork, and the organizers for running this event!
