And now for something completely different

[resonance_and_d]

So I've been working on this fic, with the premise that it was much more than 100 years between the time Aang was frozen and the time Katara and Sokka found him. So we have the same characters, and there's still bending, but the level of technology is at the level of present-day Earth.

And... I was doing it because I was procrastinating on my other stuff, but now it's 12000 words long and I think I'd better start posting it or I'll start losing momentum.

BUT: It is written in totally random snippets, which are not in chronological order. I'm talking 25 separate drabbles or oneshots so far. I don't think I want to post them together, but posting them all separately would result in massive spamming.

Thus... I am going to follow the format of some memes I've seen, and put the drabble-length snippets in the comments of this post. Then I'll make another post where I figure out what order everything should go in and archive it.

Confused? So am I. But I'm going to try it anyway.

In which Katara is kind of a televangelist

“So where have you been all day?” Iroh asked. “Azula tells me you were not at the dojo.”

“You wouldn't believe me if I told you,” Zuko said, collapsing into a chair and piling rice onto his plate.

Azula turned the TV on across the room, and was flipping through when Zuko said: “Wait. Go back a channel.”

She shot him an annoyed look, but did.

“...too long without hope. But the Avatar is back, and we've seen spirits with our own eyes. We've been to the South Pole, and there are still...”

It was a girl in a blue dress, standing next to the weird tattooed kid Zuko had seen earlier, and she was giving an interview to an amused-looking reporter.

“But- what exactly is an Avatar?”

“The Avatar is the bridge between our world and the spirit world,” the girl said, giving the camera a bright smile. She gestured to the kid beside her. “Aang is the Avatar.”

The kid grinned sheepishly.

Uncle was looking at the television very closely.

“Aang,” the girl said- quietly, but still audibly. “Show them some airbending.”

Aang stood up straight. “Right,” he said, grinning. And he thumped his staff against the ground, which made a pair of orange wings pop out of it.

“Watch this,” he said.

There was a moment when the camera jerked around, and Zuko couldn't see what was happening, but then-

The kid was flying. Actually flying, like he was some kind of weird orange and yellow bird.

“Interesting,” Azula said, eyes slightly narrowed.

Zuko knew that look. He'd been on the wrong end of it more times than he could count, and it always ended up the same way.

That Avatar kid was toast.

Ugh, I cannot believe I just found these. I guess I keep expecting them to come up on my friend's list and they don't because they're in the comments. Anyway, lol, televangelist!Katara. I can SO see that. Also, what was Zuko doing that he didn't think Iroh would believe him? Or is that relevant later? Write more!
