I just finished and posted my first long-form story ever, a kinda maudlin, meandering, and neurotically written Korra AU. It’s a ‘what if her training was brutal and abusive,’ exploring brushed over canon concepts as things go way off canon’s track. It’s also an outlet for runaway lore in my head (like lavabending on metal, or connections between bits of spiritual lore).
The shows (and books) hit me in a grim and delicate period of my life, especially the Korra/Zuko Alone episodes. I guess they stuck with me; writing them back out helped me process some things in the real world. I daydream original settings, sure, but I feel like the structure of a franchise helps.
Hence, unfortunately, the itch is not scratched. So I’m writing out a second fic, this time set in canon, expanding past Korra’s era and into a AU of Seven Havens. But this time, it’s actually planned a little, and written in… well, slightly less fanficy prose.
Avatar fics!
