#the legend of korra fan fiction

[hazashiovo]

hello!! saw u were taking requests and i was wondering if you could do a bolin x gn!reader? where the reader is SUPER affectionate and just spoils bolin a whole bunch whenever they go on dates

Yesss! Bolin getting the love be deserves :D

Bolin x gn! Reader

Bolin is in love.

He swears he's the luckiest man in the entire world to have you as his s/o. Sometimes even him would wonder how can you be so loving?

You are usually a friendly person,but when you're with Bolin? Oh Lord.

He couldn't shake you of his arm even if he wanted to try. Of course he loves the feeling of you close to him.

Not mentioning the rib breaking hugs you give him each time you meet.

Sometimes he'd try to count how many kisses you gave him in an hour,but he lost count so many times he started thinking it's useless to even try.

When the two of you are with the group, Korra would tease him,saying things like how he got a second Pabu, not in an offensive way tho. He'd laugh, bringing you even closer to him if possible.

When you're walking together you're glued to his arm,a smile adorning your face.

You sometimes have the weirdest conversations with Bolin,he never makes you feel awkward or unwanted. The boy makes you feel so loved, you give it to him double in mass,and you're not ashamed of it.

He has a personal shrine at home of things you made for him,or bought him.

Oh how you love how his expression lights up when you gift him yet another love letter,followed by a loving kiss.

He wouldn't know what to do without you.

I feel like reader tbh.

Kinda short but I'm proud of this. :>

Fans who dunk on kataang as a ship because Katara was written flatly post OG series really grind my gears. As if her marrying Aang and having a family with him was the root cause of the LoK writers sidelining her when her peers still got to be way more invloved in the story.

I will be the first to admit that Katara's initial goals and characterization got quite lost post OG series. In a way, she was only reduced to a healer and her accomplishments outside of mothering children with Aang and banning bloodbending are not shared with the audience. For the first season of LoK, I think this is fine. This is not Katara's story anymore and her speech to Korra at the beginning of the season is her passing the torch to the next Avatar to have her own adventures. Katara at that point is basically a nice cameo. We're not supposed to think that this sliver of her life which Korra sees is all that's important about her.

This does not hold water in future seasons when it's revealed that Toph and Zuko are still alive and both have more active roles in the plot, whereas Katara did not have an active role in plot lines she should have been more involved with (water tribe civil war, for example). To some fans, this reduces the little that we do see of Katara's character in LoK to only being those parts, rather than just pieces of a more realized elder from the perspective of someone younger (Korra) who doesn't know her whole story.

The way that people blame her marrying Aang on the way her overall character was handled is so baffling to me. Do these fans honestly think she would have escaped that fate for certain if she had married Zuko or someone else, or stayed single?

It's been forever but I am working on my Red Lotus Korra AU again. Boy it feels good to have free time again.

Newest chapter

Read from the beginning.

[avatarhanami]

Updated designs for a few characters we have already introduced/remade! Re-introducing Koda (fellow in the middle) and Kenai's mom, Yuka, on the right.

The beautiful lady on the left is Nita! She's a new-ish character we're introducing! She's a healer-in-training and spends a lot of time working with Kenai's mom on various things like housework, gathering, and beading! Nita is very spontaneous and has a fiery personality. (And yes, she's another Brother Bear reference lol).

Do not repost, trace, steal, or claim this art as your own. Our project is a fan-fiction based on the Avatar universe and we have no affiliation with the creators of the original shows.

:| can i even write for fun in thr ATLA LOK fandom without nonconstructive criticism .

I wrote a very and I mean very quick One-shot/prolouge to help me with my flow of writing because I struggle with details and fluffing up stuff. I put that it was not edited in the notes and everything and well....

if you're gonna comment things like

atleast woman up and make an account so I can respond and you will see it.

and yeah they're probably trolls. but like...what's the point of trolling a fanfic? and if they aren't trolls , they and all other assholes like this can do tje easiest thing and go to my profile and see how long I've been writing.

and no I didn't proofread this post

[thejourneyofwan-fanproject]

I went back to the original cover I had made years ago and used my iPad for a new and improved version, and I honestly am much more proud of this one. Also an updated version of the title.

And I started a separate ig for this fan fiction project: @thejourneyofwanofficial for more future updates! It is a written story, but will feature some illustrations.

So if you’ve been interested in the idea of a project/show/movie/comic/book/etc about Wan’s life after Harmonic Convergence, feel free to like, follow, reblog, and share!

[hazashiovo]

imagine sparring with Korra and ended up with a heated makeout session

I can see it, like angry sparing which turns into heated kisses😶

Korra x Reader

Warnings: suggestive towards the end, fighting, making out, pouring out your feelings.

Maybe pushing Korra's buttons all day long wasn't such a good idea,and what brings you to this conclusion? Well maybe her pissed off face as she enters the training ring.

But it's not your fault! You were just bored,and what other entertainment was better than annoying the girl you hate? (Are deeply in love with but deny it) Yes,maybe you'd get a kick out of seeing her face red with anger,it's funny really!

Not to her it isn't, ever since this morning you were on to your mission to make her day insufferable,and imagine how happy she was when you proposed sparing with her,oh yes. How happy she was to blow off some steam , caused by no one else but you.

Korra knew, she knew you only wanted to piss her off further,but maybe you should've thought that she's the avatar,able to use all four elements,while you can only bend one element. This is going to be entertaining.

"Gonna keep staring at me like you wanna eat me up or you're gonna actually fight me?" Oh that smirk,that stupid smirk plastered on your face , matching with your raised eyebrow,she just wants to rip it off your face and throw it on the ground and stomp-

"Bring it on." Her stance changes, ready to attack. Fists clenched tightly urging to get you on your ass. She smirks only thinking about it.

You smile , running towards her with hot fiery fists,one punch, she dodges, taking advantage of her exposed position you trip her,a grin taking over your face.

"What's wrong Korra? Can't handle little old me?" You chuckle at her furious expression.

The brunette groans, bending herself of the ground using earth. Silently cursing you for taking her down in the first place. Oh you wanna see what she can do? She'll show you what she's can really do.

Hit with a sudden surge of adrenaline,Korra sends your way multiple earth spikes, almost loosing your balance you bend yourself a fire wave , sending it her way.

Korra scoffs, dodging the wave with an air ball. You roll your eyes, can this girl be any more frustrating? That's one of your best moves!

"That's so weak! Lame." The girl mocks, smirking down at you,a feeling of satisfaction taking over her frustration.

You roll your eyes, she's the lame one ,not you! "You wanna see power privileged girl? I'll show you power."

The avatar watches as fire starts surrounding you, slowly taking the shape of a huge snake.

How the fuck are you able to do that?! Is she capable of doing this to? She must admit ,even if she despises you,it's pretty fucking cool. Maybe one day you could teach her that.

During the time she spaced out staring at your fire creation, your snake lunged at her fast. Surrounding her with hot red fire.

Korra furrows her brows annoyed, resulting to water bending. She could hear you chuckling in the back round as she tries to fight off the huge fire monster.

Once she figured out she has to get away from the beast she uses earth bending, creating a small tunnel to pass your snake.

"You like my power now, Avatar?" Her eyes land on your amused face. With one swift move she runs towards you, using earth bending to give her a boost, and with her iced fists she punches you, in the stomach making you stumble to the ground. Your snake of fire disappearing in the clear air.

So in order for you to lose control of the created beast,you must take physical damage? Noted.

What really didn't help your case was your physical health. Unfortunately for you, you were weaker in hand to hand combat. It's mostly why your fire bending is so much stronger then Korra's.

You start coughing up, holding your stomach in pain. "No fair," you mutter through coughs, Korra towers over you, her anger eyes taking in your fallen form.

"Maybe you shouldn't have been so cocky." Her hands hang loosely on her hips,a victorious glint in her eyes.

Once you finally regain your breath you're able to stand on your feet. Glaring at her trough your furrowed brows.

"You're the one to speak." You scoff, she's the one acting like a bitch...damn your stomach hurts.

"Admit that I'm better than you already! It's the least you can do after I kicked your dumb ass!" You grit your teeth at her totally untrue words.

You take a deep breath in, turning your upper body to attack Korra again, after all you're not one to give up that easy.

One strong kick with your fire laced leg sends Korra flying into a wall. While trying to recover from your strong attack ,you stroll towards her. Your stomach no longer hurting as it did before.

"Look at you," your hands land on each side of her head, caging her in. "The all mighty avatar at my mercy." She can't help but stare,a proud smirk stuck to your face like a medal. How could you of everyone beat her?

The dark haired girl grits her teeth in anger, yet one taught hangs around her mind, why are you so eager to prove her wrong?

"What's it to you? Don't forget I'm stronger than you'll ever be." Now she's the one holding the smirk, Korra tried raising her hands,but you're quick to stick both of them to the wall.

"What's it to me? Everything!" You huff out at her obliviousness. One eyebrow raised,she waits for you to continue your blabbing. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

"Everything fell to your feet ever since you were a child! And me? I had to work for it. But no matter how long I trained or how strong I became,I was never truly acknowledged,but you? Their precious little avatar?" Korra huffs annoyed, taking a hold of your hands and swiftly switches your positions, making you the trapped one now.

She inches closer to your face,"I had to work for everything! I had to prove that I am the avatar, nothing came to me for free,so stop assuming I'm some stuck up princess!"

Her words make you scoff. What did she ever have to fight for? She could master all the elements as a kid, Korra never had to worry about being enough,you did. People called you weak ,you allways had to prove yourself to the world,that's why you became a pro bender in the arena. This way they could finally see,that you're enough.

"You? Funny you're the one that cries about having to work,but I'm the one who was judged for not being strong enough! You have no idea how hard the weight placed on my shoulders was."

You squirm under her, trying to break free,but Korra doesn't budge. You try kicking her with your leg, yet your efforts are shut down by her knee that's now placed between your legs, holding you down in place.

"Why are you so damn stubborn?" Korra grits her teeth,your faces mere inches apart, the arguing leading nowhere,just back and forth bickering.

"You're so annoying!" You groan out, resisting the urge to head but her. Korra's face looks like she's about to blow up,smoke practically coming out of her ears.

Korra pushes you further into the wall, drawing a gasp out of you. "Can't you shut up already? You're so insufferable!"

You raise a brow,a new idea popping in your mind. "Oh yeah? Why don't you make me? Bet you can't." She watches as your expression fills with mischief,a different look shining in your (e/c) eyes.

Korra stands in front of you, thinking of what to say now,you practically put her in a corner. Ironic since you're the one backed up.

"Nothing to say n-" before you could finish your sentence shock creeps into you, the feeling of her soft lips forcefully attached to yours silence the snarky remark that was about to be said.

She pushes in,hear leg rising up as a warning once you try closing your thighs.

Her hands tighten around your caged wrists, you push your chest in hers making her whine groan in your mouth.

The kiss is hungry and lustful,yet there's no denying that passion burns as hot as your fire.

Starting to feel light headed,you pull your head away from Korra's. Taking rapid breaths to chase away the light headiness.

"I wasn't expecting you to shut me up like that." You tilt your head away from her burning gaze. Cheeks pinkish and warm.

If she's honest, Korra doesn't really know what took over her,but she knew this was something she was hungry for,deep inside. Is this the reason why her glares would be directed to people getting overly friendly with you, lingering touches on your shoulder or waist. But never did she really get to grasp the reason why.

Korra releases your hands, instinctively your hands rub against one another, already feeling the future bruises.

"It worked, didn't it?" Korra raises a brow to match with her smirk.

You roll your eyes, mustering up a snarky answer to get back at her,that thought fades once she closes the distance between the two of you again,this time her hand wrapping on your neck,one finger holding your jaw in place, her other hand wrapped around your waist.

Your lips move in sink,both of you fighting,yet again, for control. Your tongues rubbing against each other while the kiss becomes more lustful and needy.

Your hands find themselves entangled in Korra's hair,then moving lower towards the back of her neck, pulling her in even more than before. Craving her touch.

You moan when her tigh rubs against you middle, of course she knows what she's doing. Korra takes that split of a moment to gain full control, dominating the kiss shared between you two.

Maybe ,just maybe the two of you don't despise each other as much as you claim.

.

This was such a fun thing to write! Come at me with more requests of the sort :)

Is It Better?

Although I have no illusions of being a professional writer, that doesn't mean I don't want to improve. As such, I went back to the first chapter of The Lost Avatar and did some tweaking on the heavy exposition.

I know I don't have many followers, but I am going to posit this here anyway.

The question is...Does it work? After all, it is hard to do something right if you don't realize you are doing it wrong.

Here is the original:

It had been sixteen years since Avatar Korra’s passing. It had happened when a pocket of Earth Empire loyalists had attempted to assassinate the incumbent president. The new president had survived the explosion—Korra didn’t. It had been a sad day for the world, but hardest for those closest to her including him. The island he had turned to ash all those years ago, was still recovering. They had been around fifty at the time which meant he was pushing mid-sixties. He had a swath of grey at the base of his black hair, otherwise he looked closer to forty. One of the “perks” of being half-spirit. The other indicator of his age were his horns which started at his forehead and curved backwards like a subtle wave over his hair. When he’d turned fifty, the sliver branches had grown short tines near the tip. According to Aki, his doctor since “the incident,” it was something that happened when certain horns…matured. It had been terribly painful, like the bone branches were teething. He remembered being down for three days with a fever so extreme, he’d accidentally burned Shizuku when she was trying to care for him. Meanwhile, his wife and second-in-command, gracefully carried her age. The petite, blue-eyed woman’s hair had long since greyed, and wrinkles creased her face; even along the scar across the corner of her right eye, but she was still attractive. Of course, she would always be attractive to him, but it was a daily reminder that he would probably outlive her along with most of his loved ones. It was something he tried hard not to dwell on.

Then the most recent iteration:

It was hard to believe that it had been sixteen years since Korra’s passing. In the deep recesses of his mind, he stilled blamed himself. If only he had been able to go along and help safeguard the incumbent Earth Republic President like she had wanted. Maybe he could have stopped the explosion that had taken her life, or at least saved her from it. Instead he had been laid up with a fever so extreme, that he didn’t even remember her coming to the house to ask for his assistance. Shizu had only mentioned it after the fact. He absently rubbed the small spike near the end of his right horn. A spike that had sprouted on both silver branches sixteen years ago. All because of you. He pulled his gaze from the past to his wife and second-in-command. Her deep blue eyes were scrutinizing him over the lip of her coffee mug. She probably knew he was getting down on himself, holding on to old regrets. He often times wondered if she could read his mind. However, she kept quiet about the matter and turned the focus back to the main topic.

[eponastory]

Do you think bending is genetic influenced or spiritually influenced or both? Bc if it's genetic or genetic influenced the implications of four segregated nation are...strange and eugenic kinda of impossible too but i have a very basic grasp on genetics so i don't know

Honestly, I've been playing around with the idea of it being spiritual and genetic.

We know that the Air Nomads were wiped out... but at the same time, there were some that survived. This is covered in the comics with how traps were set for survivors after the genocide. Now, the live action covers this differently, with an even bringing all the Air Nomads to one place. But after Harmonic Convergence in LoK, airbenders appear.

I'm not a fan of LoK... so I'm kinda working on my own alternate timeline with post-war stuff.

But I also have this thought that even if Aang was the last and he somehow ended up dying trying to defeat Ozai, the cycle would continue, and the spiritual aspect comes into play. That because there are no more airbenders that anyone with an airbending ancestor could potentially be an airbender. The system (cycle) corrects itself in order to stay in balance.

Harmonic convergence brought airbending back in LoK probably because there was an imbalance between the elements. So essentially it corrected itself.

But as far as bending being strictly genetic, I don't think it's really that simple because Aang and Katara in Canon had three children. Two were benders. And I know a great deal about genetics thanks to breeding horses and color genes with them. It's the same thing with some genetic diseases as well.

I bred paint horses. My stallion carries a gene that allows all of his babies to be the same pattern he is, even with non paint moms (mares). We call this homozygous where there is two copies of the gene. Heterozygous is when there is one copy and there is a 50%-25% chance of the gene being passed on. To get two copies, both parents have to have the same gene (or something similar) and pass it on. Two copies will always pass on at least one.

I see bending working like that. There is a small possibility of an underexpressed or recessive. Which is where you get your non benders in a family of benders, if that makes any sense.

Hope this helps!

The Avatar & The Engineer

Chapter 13: Book 2: Storm on the Horizon

Artwork by @jadequarze​

After an unintentional and absurd hiatus of two years, I have finally one of my longer running fics. Finally with Book 1 done it now is time to tackle Book 2.

Months have passed since the failed Equalist uprising. Team Avatar have been largely apart from one another, each trying to return to some form of normality and stability. Asami works to regain her bending abilities, Korra buries herself in work while Future Industries stagnates, Mako pursues a new career while Bolin tries to recapture old glory.

When Korra is sent home to Southern Water Tribe to broker a business deal with an eccentric millionaire, Asami and the rest of the gang decide to tag along. But Asami begins to have visions of something sinister on the horizon.

Deepest apologies for the long wait. Hopefully this chapter makes up for it and what better way than to post it on the anniversary of LOK’s finale.

As always comments and reblogs are kindly appreciated. Special thanks again to JadeQuarze for the fantastic artwork.

I hope you enjoy.

Fic Origin Story

Many thanks to @reyesstrand and @marwani-strickland for the tag. Did I think villain origin story when I read it? Yes. Is my life as a fic writer villanous? IDK.

What was your first fandom (reading or writing)?

My first fandom was General Hospital. I began reading and writing fic in that fandom circa 1999-2001 So, you know, before some of y'all were born. It's fine. I'm fine. You're fine.

It was back in the days that you had to join like an EzBoard to post and share fic. yes I'm old. And, and, like a lot of EzBoards were specific to your pairing of choice (I was a member of several) and you had to actual pass a quiz to get inside the ezboard to prove you were a fan of said pairing because antis would infiltrate and sow chaos. Flame wars were a thing and such. I learned so much in those days. I still had dial-up and my chapters were super short. I saved my fic to floppy disks, so...you know...it was a time.

2. What was the first story you ever wrote (even if it was never posted) and what made you write it?

The FIRST story I ever wrote, that I remember, as a fanfic was probably a Little Women fix it fic where Laurie and Jo got married instead of Laurie and Amy and Jo and Professor Behr at like, ten years old. I wrote it one of those hardcover blank books you could buy. I have since reconsidered my position after learning more about Louisa May Alcott and WHY she made the choices she made.

The first story I ever published as a fandom fic was a Jason/Robin sweeping get back together story in the General Hospital fandom (have they been together since 1998 - no, do I think it's one of the biggest mistakes the show has ever made - maybe). Robin was still in Paris and I think she maybe had a secret baby. There were kidnappings, shootings, and many other things that fit a daytime soap fic written by a high schooler in the margins of her notebooks.

I think it's still on floppy disks in my parent's house.

3. What's a pice of advice you would give to your younger fic writing self?

Care less about what other people are doing. Care more about how you treat others. Constructive critism is a gift, take it as it's meant and have your friends read your work and tell you that you NEED A PERIOD or DO YOU KNOW WHAT COMMAS ARE or YOU'VE USED THIS WORD THREE TIMES THIS PAGE or MORE FEELINGS HERE PLEASE or I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. They make your writing better.

4. What is an early fandom interaction that has stuck with you (be it a nice comment, a friend you made, a fic that got a lot of feedback)

Oh man, there's so many. Some are wonderful, like the reactions to every chapter I posted of those early fics.

Some are things I learned the hard way, like being a teenager who made friends with another teenager and some women in their 20s and 30s and one of them was very much a bully who had us turn on one of the friends we had by telling lies and got us to harrass her. I learned a lot about how to trust people online and how to spot people who might tell lies to play people on the interent like puppets for their own power. It makes it far easier to spot now that I'm old. Also, I remember how very compassionate the woman we harrassed, my friend Dani, was, and she was a little bit younger than I am now. and How she really accepted our apology, told us how much we hurt her, and allowed the two children she'd befriended to do better when they figured out how they'd been played. I hope to have half her grace as a fandom old these days.

5. What is a sentence or two from one of your older fics and a sentence or two from a newer one (if you want)?

For y'all, let's do 3. The first from around 20 years ago, then we'll grab something from 10 years ago, and something from now? Sound good? You do know that by now you're getting more than a sentence or two from me. From Choices - a fanfiction following X2/X3 movie verse -posted on Fanfiction.net on June 1, 2003.

Jubliee stared at the young man across from her. There was something so familiar about this one, something she couldn't put her finger on just yet. Then it hit her, "St. John?" The spark in his eyes, the fire that matched his talent was unmistakable. No wonder the armored car was burning at such a rapid pace.

He’d asked her to move with him to Air Temple Island and she’d laughed.  Thinking on it now, the sound of it was harsh and cruel to her own ears. 

“Why,” she’d laughed, “when you have all of your Air groupies?”

He’d sighed and steepled his fingers in that serious thinking pose he had. “They’re not groupies, Lin,” he had reproved her. “They are people who have been keeping my father’s culture alive for the better part of a century and they are continuing to sustain it.  What if—” A sadness had entered his eyes.  “I could be the last one, Lin.  There might never be another.”

“Tenzin—”  She couldn’t have brought herself to lie and say that she would ensure that he wouldn’t be.   Lin wouldn’t even suggest that Bumi could miraculously have an illegitimate child that was an airbender out somewhere.   “Then come here.  Live in the city.  You already work here and we could find a good space for Oogi.”

“I want to marry you Lin,” he had said, quietly. 

Lin had looked up from her paperwork and given him a pointed glance.  “Does that marriage include children?”

“I am the last living airbender, Lin,” Tenzin reminded her. “I do want children one day.”

Carlos snaps off the radio, unwilling to listen to the continued banter as they joke about this. There’s too many containers of flammable gas in the back of a bus to make light of a bullet ricocheting in there. He pulls out his phone before looking at his mother in the seat beside him. Her brown eyes are wide and worried and he can’t look at them for too long.

When he looks back down at his phone he realizes his hand is shaking. “I’m just—He’s on a shift and he probably can’t pick up—”

Alexis looks over the turnouts, which happen to be an unfortunate combination of khaki and orange. The fabric is rough and heavy, which makes sense for protecting one's body from a fire, but there are plenty of fire-resistant clothes that aren’t these ancient heavy things. “Don’t they have, umm, like those cuter black and yellow numbers that are a little thinner?”

“Beggars can’t be choosers, princess. Does this department look like it’s made of money?” Ronnie takes a moment to wink at her. “Besides, orange is the new pink.”

“Mmm, totally,” Alexis murmurs.

Ronnie narrows her eyes, and jerks her thumb at the gear. “You know how to put this on in time?”

Being underestimated is something Alexis is well used to. In fact, being underestimated has saved her life countless times where people thought she was too stupid or too thoughtless or too pretty to know her way around a gun or a fancy car or out of a pair of handcuffs. Normally it didn’t sting.

She pulls herself up to full height and sniffs. “I passed the volunteer qualifications exam, didn’t I?”
