A:TLA promptfest!

[glass_icarus]

OMG YOU GUYS. According to musesfool, only one person who signed up for Remix (as of a few hours ago, anyway) qualifies for A:TLA, which strikes me as a) astonishing and b) SADFACE! I was just going through my stuff to see if I qualify and it appears that I have in fact written enough commentfic to pass, but hey- I could always go another round for A:TLA! &hearts Plus, I still have this one way-overdue story on the backburner, so it'll be nice to kick my brain into writing-mode again.

Therefore: toss in your prompts! Come drabble with me! We have until Saturday before Remix signups close, and it is entirely possible to write enough to qualify if you're properly bunnied. ;D All it takes is seven 100+ word ficbits (or five 500+ word ficlets), and that's if you've never written anything in the fandom before! *tempts*

eta: fills!
+ crossedwires: Ty Lee, tightrope; crossover with Red Cliff
+ lady_ganesh: Mai, turtleducks
+ mercredigirl: Katara, Toph, stewed sea prunes

Mai, turtle-ducks

Drabble and a half, Feeding the ducklings

[lady_ganesh]

The turtle-ducks were cute, Mai guessed. They weren’t pets, but they weren’t wild animals, either. They liked humans, at least as far as bread crumbs were concerned, but they clearly weren’t the cuddling type.

She still wasn’t quite sure how much Zuko really remembered of his mother. He held those memories too close, like precious treasures that could be hurt if someone handled them too roughly. (Azula’s face flitted across her memory at that; how many harsh words had Zuko heard over the years? How much misplaced anger had he faced?) Still, he’d told her he’d loved feeding the turtle-ducks with Ursa. She could do that. She could do that with their children, someday, even if they never knew their grandmother.

The mother duck nearest her put up her head and quacked, demandingly. “Fine, fine,” she said, and sprinkled more crumbs on the water. “Just look after those ducklings, okay?”

Aw. I love this! :D And this is beautiful and painful:
