[AO3] we were born ready (don’t care if the world ain’t ready for me)

Summary: Hakoda hugs them both before they go to sleep every night. He smells like jerky and lamp oil, and his big arms, trained for destruction, are so very gentle.

Katara wonders in the blackness of night what it means to be a soldier without a war.She wonders if her father is lying awake, twenty feet away, asking himself the same questions.

—-

After the war, it’s not easy for Katara to just go back home and settle in where she left off, so she decides to use her time and effort in more productive ways. After all, there’s a whole world out there just waiting for her.

(Alternatively: a fic about self-love, healing, and staging a coup, because in what world would these kids be able to sit back and put the adults back in charge?)

Gosh dammit muffin! Now I can't get the idea of long haired andorogynous zuko out of my head, and I'm like "what if he'd never done the bald ponytail thing and just let his hair grow back, so by the show he had long ass hair" and then I was like "what if he joined the gaang after crossroads and figured that the best way to go incognito was as a woman since people were looking for the PRINCE. Anyway now i'm staring down a blank google doc so thx.

Yesss.

if you didn’t believe that England hates Donald Trump already: the most recent news of his visit today is that the mayor of London approved protestors releasing a £16,000 Trump in-a-diaper balloon to fly 98ft above ground when he visits, and literally no British person is surprised. Welcome to London.
