Rec a story, tell a story
Mar. 1st, 2011 05:33 pmI don't rec fanfic here much anymore (that's what delicious is for) but I finished reading two Avatar AUs over the weekend and folks, I am excite.
Huh. It turns out they're by the same person, I only just realized. Well.
Imagine the Ocean by Damkianna: Hakoda found the boy in the ice eight days before Kya went into labor. A 100,000+ word rewrite of Book One, with Katara as the Avatar. Amazing. Wonderful use of female characters, both canon and OC. Wonderful expansion of the Avatar world. Wonderful, wonderful look at Katara, growing up and growing into her role as Avatar. (Note: Yes, Aang's dead and it's sometimes hard to handle. Yes, he still plays a major part in the story.) In short: wonderful.
Big Damn Heroes by Damkianna: Katara pushes past the curtains that block off the bridge - they have got to get a new door fitted - and stops behind Toph's chair. "I take it we didn't drop out of hyperspace on purpose," she says. (Aka THE GAANG IN SPACE.) That last part is all you really need to know. GAANG! IN SPACE! It's not quite a crossover with Firefly, more Firefly flavored (or as the notes say, '"Firefly, but with Asians!" ... and Inuit, of course.'). I want a million more stories in this 'verse. Hell, can we swap just it for Firefly?
And now, the first half of my responses to the 15 'ships meme:
( The Pairings )

pseudo_tsuga:
( 2, 3, and 7 get stranded on a desert island. Who makes fire? Who finds food? Who stubbornly refuses to do anything beside prepare for rescue? )
( 3 have to collaborate on a school project. Do they get it done or just make out all the time? )
( 1 and 10 are babysitting. What horrors unfold? )
zanzando:
( 7 & 12 meet the Doctor (whichever incarnation you like) while he's on a much needed vacation. Naturally, they must team up and save the world (probably not Earth) from certain destruction! )
