📓for the ask game. Gimme all the juicy details on a fic you haven’t written yet <3

okay so like i have this one mutual that got me really into shipping Sokka and Azula, (@balsa-margarita , hey bestie <3). And I really want to do something with that, But I have no confidence whatsoever in writing Azulas pov. I do, however have full confidence in writing Sokka and his pov. I feel like I depict him better than any other canon character I write, so maybe I can work with that.

this specific idea is still very new and im still working through the specifics but like, you know those Zuko stories where something happens that throws the course of the story completely away from canon and Zuko's redemption arc coils around that event like a snake and like launches him into Sokka's arms and a lot of his redemption is deeply inbedded in Sokka too??? (Think 'The Art of Burning, Leaving it all behind/Risking it all, Blue I think is another one) I want something like that, but like Azula.

Maybe even without the shipping part of it, but I really want to do a fic where Azula gets an actual support system and has her 'redemption' revolve around that, whether that be the gaang, the water tribe, ty lee and mai or even maybe ursa or zuko if i feel like having the 'repairing relationships' thing a part of it.

i also really want a large portion of that story going into her relationship with zuko and what specifically went wrong there and how it can be fixed to where they act like normal siblings and not what you see in canon. Same with Ursa and Iroh.

#This is the potential wip that has most of my focus right now despite it being nothing more than a vaque concept at best #But I love Azula and how her relationships are depicted #and people in this fandom dont seem to understand how complicated her relationships are #like there are so many different ways you can interpret Azula and Ursa #Because of my own mom issues I think I lean into the demonizing ursa part of this #im projecting #and im most likely going to go that route in ihiap #because when azula becomes a bigger part of the plot shes going to bring up some points about ursa that makes the swt go 🤨🤨 towards zuko #he is such an unreliable narrator #i love it #and a lot of the points im going to make are very construed and like the type of thing that could be cannon #but like its probably not #but if i develop this specific wip more im probably going to go the opposite direction in that specifc area #and have more of the ' ursa tried her best but it wasnt good enough' thing #and work on expanding on that #i think most people that follow me know im very critical iroh #like i feel like him and zuko had a good relationship when he was a kid #but like after lu ten died that shifted more into a zuko and iroh using eachother as a coping mechanism thing #another thing im going to touch on in ihiap #book three is going to be so great especially the second half #im getting off track #but i think irohs relationship with azula will also be touched on #and IF (big if) that can be repaired.#ANyWHO #eels tag #look your the first one of my mutuals to get their own tag #you better feel special #ly bestie :)#asks #max thinks shes relevant
