I know this will never happen in your dragon fic, but I'm kind of curious. How do you think things would work if Katara and/or Sokka somehow gained the same ability as their partners to go back and forth between being humans and dragons?
Sokka and Katara would be water dragons opposed to fire dragons so they aren't as big as the others in dragon form and can't breathe fire or fly. Thankfully, the ocean is nearby so they can figure out things there. They discovered their wings are meant for swimming (much like penguin wings).
If it happens at home, Hakoda and Kya would immediately rush them to the Fire Family's house. Ursa would be glad to teach them how to manage the shifting and being a dragon. She's also thrilled there are more dragons.
The siblings would have a hard time adjusting to the heighten senses though. They have to wear ear coverings for the first couple of weeks before getting used to it. Katara gets especially upset when she accidently rips up one of her dolls with her claws. They would also face more discrimination being both foreigners and "demons" now.
On the brighter side, Sokka would enjoy hunting with Azula in the forest and Katara would love sunbathing with Zuko. In return, the water siblings will try to teach Zuko and Azula how to swim. Fire dragons don't mix well with water, so it doesn't go too well. Zuko and Azula opt to sunbath on the sand whenever they go to ocean. All four of them would love rough housing especially now that the fire siblings don't have to hold back as much.
Also, Ozai would help Hakoda and Kya dragon proof their house and how to cuddle the pups without throwing out their back (much). They'll move to the lighthouse to be right at the ocean and away from prying eyes. It's also easier for the Fire Family to visit in dragon form.
oughh pls ramble to me abt your headcanons or story about pre sb vanessa!!!!
GUAHHHH VANESSA!!! I'LL TAKE ANY EXCUSE TO RAMBLE ABOUT MY GIRLIE<333
im still figuring out a lot of her backstory right now But. heres what i have at the moment
sooooo basically nessa's family is her, her mom, dad and older brother ages 1-8 shes unbothered. happy. in her lane. flourishing.
their mom used to be a BIG freddys fan and so that kinda carried over to ness and her brother its DEFINITELY their hyperfixation i make the rules.
everythings pretty good until around 8-9 her parents seem to be having fights here and there. not too bad, it happens
then they fight more. sometimes it gets physical.
then suddenly her father tells her that they're getting a divorce.
vanessa and her brother are forced to lie in court, and we all know how this goes ☹️☹️☹️
vanessa and her brother have a 7 year age difference so he moves out when vanessa is 10 and leaving her stuck with her dad. they make sure to keep in touch but ness just wishes he'd come home and keep him safe from their dad
as she gets older she starts rebelling more by dying n cutting her hair, staying out later, etc etc and at 16 she fully runs away and steals her dad's crusty pick-up truck (HELL YEAH NESS ‼️‼️🦅🦅🦅)
she lives with her brother now, who for the last 5-ish years had been developing fazbear frights (her brother is phone dude!!) and she gets to help out with the attraction!! until it um. burns down. i wonder who did that
vanessa eventually saves up enough to move out and gets a job as a beta tester for fazbear entertainment's newest attraction; a vr game! vanessa is Very aware of the fazbear controversies and tragedies, but its easy pay and PLUS its a job she'd actually enjoy doing. so she takes it. can't be as bad as the other establishments, right?
