Hellcheer has been creeping its way into my brain and setting up shop and naturally I had to twist it into a teachers!AU.
So it's music teacher Eddie, of course, and Kindy teacher Chrissy. Eddie is a kind of floating subject specialist who comes into every class and does a lesson or two a week, and he loves Chrissy's class and her littlies so much, and her kids adore him, even though he calls them gremlins and imps to their faces.
Some of the other staff in the school look down on Eddie, cause he doesnt exactly dress professionally and his methods are kinda unorthodox. But Chrissy always has a smile for him because even if she was a little wary when she first saw him, she soon ended up giggling at one of the silly jokes he told her class, and she saw how gentle he was with one of her kids who was struggling, and she very quickly realised what a sweetheart he is.
And, of course, Eddie is absolutely besotted with her! She is so good and gentle and kind, and just walking into her room feels like being bathed in positivity and sunshine, and Eddie absolutely laps it up. He hangs around in her classroom whenever he has spare time in the morning and helps her put up her displays when he sees her struggling to reach and eventually, when they've become more comfortable around each other, she scrambles up on his back and stands on his shoulders and then lets out a little giggle and says, "Oh didn't you know? I was a cheerleader back in high school!" and Eddie is floored.
And one morning Eddie comes in even earlier than usual, and he's walking past Chrissy's classroom when he hears her singing along to Eternal Flame playing on the crackly little radio on her desk. And it's not the kind of music that he'd normally be into, but her voice is so light and lilting, and he can't help but hover in the doorway absolutely smitten, watching her in the soft light of the morning sun as she puts out paints on a table, and she's humming some parts and definitely muddling up the lyrics in others, but Eddie thinks that her version sounds even more beautiful than the original.
And, of course, she catches him watching and blushes and giggles all embarrassed and says it's one of her favourite songs. So when it comes to the lesson for her kids later that day? Well Eddie settles himself down, right in the midst of the kids all sitting criss-cross applesauce on their brightly coloured rug, and he starts strumming the opening to Eternal Flame on his acoustic guitar before he stops and asks if any of the kids know it and, of course they don't. So he says, "Well how about I sing it for you, then? And all you and Miss Cunningham need to do is listen. Close your eyes and listen. And if you think you know it, you can sing along."
And the kids do close their eyes (well, most of them!) but Chrissy doesn't. Because she's gazing right at Eddie, looking happier than he's ever seen her.
(And yes, of course there's also background Harringrove cause it's me and I'm weak for teacher Steve! He's in first grade or maybe a parallel Kindy class, while Billy teaches in the inclusion unit for the kids with behavioural issues, and Billy and Eddie carpool most days and spend the whole journey talking about their crushes on their sunshine ones.)

*twirls hair* bisexual pirates u say? would love to hear anything u'd like to share about them <3
YESSS. okay so
it’s set in the avatar world but like. in the ages before the war and also a little bit to the left bc someone invents metalbending. the previous (fire) avatar died about 20-30 years ago (no one really knows) and because of that there is quite a lot of piracy.
I have a doc with the crew here. still workshopping the characters used for the names bc I don’t want to get that wrong but there you go sjfkgsjks. I also have a doc with the relationships between the crew but there’s an undescribed image in there. as for the crew and its famous bisexuality…yes pretty much everyone is bisexual. the only ones who aren’t are iraluq and nisha (lesbians) and tetsuo (gay). also most are poly- or at least ambiamorous (that’s why the relationship chart is. a little convoluted)
now onto the actual story. it would be told from the perspective of an indentured sailor on a merchant ship, hira. she’s like 27 and grew up as an orphan in the earth kingdom. the ship is out on the middle of the sea when they suddenly get attacked by pirates. hira, who has never been in danger like this before, tries desperately to defend herself—and, for the first time in her life, uses airbending. she gets knocked out by a stray frying pan (the cook’s weapon of choice), and no one thinks about her anymore because well. they’re busy fighting. until, several hours later, she wakes up on the pirate ship. unbeknownst to the pirates too bc they kiiinda accidentally kidnapped her.
she gets found out within minutes, much to everyone’s confusion and embarrassment and anger (at themselves. how do you accidentally kidnap a person.) the only problem is uh. they’re out in the middle of the sea and already several hours away from the merchant ship. hira is stuck with them for the time being.
the captain, taituk, who is my poor little meow meow (strikethrough: my poor little meow meow) really embarrassed and apologetic about the whole ordeal because holy shit I accidentally kidnapped a person, promises her that as soon as they reach land, she can get off the ship. hira, of course, takes this offer. she doesn’t have any family or friends on land or whatever, but it’s better than staying with a bunch of pirates.
on the ship, however, she finds that the crew is…really cool actually. there’s an air nomad girl that isn’t a bender herself but grew up in the temples so she teaches hira how to bend. she gets taught how to fight and defend herself by the really badass warrior women! so when the time comes, she has grown too attached to the crew, and instead of leaving, stays and becomes a pirate too.
(and then, later, for no other reason than that I think it would be really fucking funny, she discovers she’s the avatar. tfw people are hoping for the avatar to put a stop to piracy, but when she finds out her identity, she is, in fact, a pirate.)
tldr: yes queer pirates in the avatar world thank you so much for asking (/gen) and so sorry for rambling and if you read this whole long-ass thing I’m even sorrier

let me psycho analyze u while i assign u poetry
"It's not like being touched ever solved a problem."
touch starved
obi wan kenobi ? more like obi wan ken-someone pls hold me ! you just really need a hug right now. genuine question, when was the last time you were soul-crushingly hugged ? you're probably one of those people who pretend like you're okay when you're really not and who just want to FEEL something. you're the kind of person that sits in the dark with their hands around their knees, the kind of person that thirdwheels all the time. it will come. they will come.
