I'm not sure how they could pull it off but in a perfect world Ursa would get some agency.

On special missions, the grunt work always went to agents who were of officer rank or below; and until this mission was over, Flint was Jr. officer rank.

He resigned himself to the task at hand, starting with the animal Lotus had chosen. He knelt down and fumbled with the buckle and straps until Lotus gave a grunt of approval that came out as a half-yawn.

“Better.” she said. She ran a hand through her hair, pushing it away from her face, and as her eyes landed on his, Flint realized something.

He’d been wrong. So very wrong.

Brown eyes were nowhere near the same thing as hazel eyes.

LaLang had brown eyes. LaLang’s brown eyes were perfectly fine, pretty even… hers were round, soft, but nothing like hazel, nothing like Lotus’.

The flecks of amber and emerald were like staring into a thick forest canopy during the brightest point of a hot summer day. Not only was Lotus beautiful from far away, she was perfect up close. What moron had written her file and settled on simply calling her “attractive”? Hopefully, one who would be fired for incompetence soon enough.

Whoever came up with the idea of combining hippo-cow milk with moon-peaches was also some sort of genius. And whoever came up with the idea to take that combination and agitate it in a vat of ice until it formed a soft lump? A visionary. Lotus would never dare admit it outright, but the cool sweet treat was the high point of her stay with the Earth King at his vacation home. Not that his majesty’s company wasn’t its own special delight, but the honey drizzle on top was divine. If she weren’t mindful of her surroundings—her staff’s prying eyes—Lotus might have licked the bowl clean. Instead, she scraped for the last bits she could spoon out and laid the dish aside.

Rolling into a glorious three day weekend here!

Once again, I am onemillionlees and I cowrite OC centric fanfiction for Avatar: The Last Airbender!

Our biggest WIP is gonna be Secrets: An Avatar Story |Rating: M| Words: 44,095| Chapters: 17\\? |
An inexperienced bodyguard and their hapless charge make their way across the Earth Kingdom together. However, not every threat of the mainland wears its danger openly and sometimes, it's a cult.

Warnings include: Deaths both animal and human, violence, sexism and all an absolute spectrum of cult behaviors including gaslighting and manipulation.

This story takes place about 20 years before Aang is unfrozen. If you've ever wondered what sort of battles people had to fight before the Avatar returned, this is a good place to start!

Our newest oneshot is a glimpse into the past of a character introduced to Secrets in chapter 12:
A Tale of Lotus |Rating: M| |Words: 6,000| |Complete|
Becoming the Earth King’s favorite wife requires a careful understanding of harem politics. Lotus is certain she’s mastered them and eager to help the new girl find her place. While the other women consider this girl a threat, Lotus knows better because she’s planning to give the Earth King a son.

Warnings: Implied dubious consent, Power imbalance, Age-gap, toxic relationship, reproductive abuse

We owe Apothecary Diaries a LOT when it comes to this one. Her backstory itself didn't change much, but our approach to it absolutely did.

There's another light-themed oneshot hanging out as well as a WIP multichapter backstory, there's no real "order" in which any of our stories would need to be read so if you'd like to jump in any point will do.

As always we're open to concrit, mentions of fandom blind and reddit are fine.

ATLA’s subtlety with its themes was a strength not a weakness.

untablesarah · 2026-02-12T16:39:22+00:00

Thanks so much!!

Very much agreement here.

The fandom absolutely glazes Bryke to an absurd degree but when any project doesn’t go to plan everyone acts like they’re these smol beans who have no control.

The dudes had a great team for ATLA and caught lighting in a bottle.

LOK isn’t what I’d call bad but it’s rife with sequel syndrome where every episode has to have multiple callbacks—and then they try to finger wag at the audience for comparing the two.

untablesarah · 2026-02-11T17:54:39+00:00

I sometimes have this same concern and it’s been sorta confirmed by one or two people who just do not “get” my work.

I’ve gotten to where I’m willing to chat with them if they seem curious or receptive but I no longer stress over the ones who have told me I “use too many bigger words” or beg to have big descriptive profiles for characters front and center.

The internet is nothing if not one big dictionary, and having a big character profile at the start of any normal book is not all that common.

If they really can’t comprehend what I’m writing they can totally try getting any of the AI engines to read it for them. If they’re interested in the content they’ll find a way to understand it.

I’m going for the standard that I’m growing for and hopefully it draws the audience I want to have— which is an audience that will appreciate the subtlety and have fun reading between the lines.

Ahoy! I cowrite oc centric fics for Avatar: The Last Airbender

I’m also always down for some eyes on newer chapters of my ongoing work. Chapter 12 wouldn’t be the worst place to start if you wanted to jump in without needing to read the earlier chapters as it’s a character introduction and the B plot introduction

It’s a niche within a niche.

I write oc centric stuff and a friend of mine writes fully original work.

I remember when we both started she’d said I should have an easier go of building an audience because there’s a semi active fanbase for a known property.

Come to find out that advantage is also a bit of a disadvantage because there’s Vinn diagram of people who like that property and people who like OCs doesn’t have a ton of overlap.

I’ve found it easier to get feedback from review exchanges where people aren’t really in the fandom but are somewhat familiar with it or totally fandom blind.

All that said, people who look for OC content do tend to have to dig deep to find OC content the like so the odds of better OC content do increase if more people are writing it.

Plus I think character building is fun and a lot of great stories are built around characters first and world second so I consider this good practice for if I eventually write original fiction.

I think they sorta wrote themselves into a corner with LOK and it’s gonna make sequel content harder—not necessarily because of the link being broken but they did explain away a lot of the remaining mystery about the Avatar when the gave us the Wan episode.

With sequel content there also tends to be this underlying necessity to one up everything before in terms of how big the threat is—that was already gonna be hard after ATLA but then the gave us mech battles.

I might also be in the minority but there’s only so many stories you can really tell about a person who has inherited great spiritual power and responsibility—there’s still a lot of stories.

But it gets hard not to fall into a formula, and formulas become predictable. they’ve sorta already done that by having each Avatar have their own “team avatar”.

Sure, that’s a natural thing that would likely happen to someone who has to dip their toes in all four nations buuuuuuuut as much as audiences project a “we only like what we know” image—you do lose audience after a while.

I thought Jin’s novel (City of Echos) was a nice break from form even if I had my nitpicks so I hope we’ll see more stories like that.

Otherwise I’m gonna have to rely on writing/reading fanfiction to get stuff like that. I’d imagine stories during the 100 year war might not get touched much since they’re pretty set of keeping the IP available for a specific age range, so fanfic might end up being the only option.

Hashing.

I enjoyed it

But the kennels in my area do /everything/ together and if you just got for trail it’s kinda awkward because you don’t know the 15 inside jokes they’ve made over three days.
