Do Any Other Fanfic Writers Ever Look Back At Something They've Written And Just Wanna Cry Because You

do any other fanfic writers ever look back at something they've written and just wanna cry because you want what they have 😭 bcos same 😭😭 this exerpt is from my fic where i take the common zutara trope of zuko saving katara from a loveless relationship with aang and flip it on its head until it becomes kataang hehhee :) also new aang au fic coming soon!!!

---

Once she closed it, she turned to leave, but… hesitated. The wind, it seemed, had blown one of Aang’s cupboard doors wide open. But that wasn’t what gave her pause. No, what confused her was the glint of ice blue stone that seemed to shimmer inside. She stepped closer, then, silently apologizing to Aang forĀ definitelyĀ invading his privacy, she reached in.Ā 

And drew out what looked like a traditional Southern water tribe proposal necklace.Ā 

For a moment, she was sure that her mind was playing tricks on her, that she was somehow misinterpreting something, but as she turned the necklace over, back and forth in her hands, she knew that this was unmistakably a proposal necklace. One she’d never seen before. The pendant itself, in style, shape, and material, mirrored her mother’s necklace, but the combination of carvings on it was different- two that were water tribe, that in fact matched her mother’s necklace perfectly, and two that looked distinctly air tribe.Ā 

Before she could puzzle it over for much longer, she heard the clearing of someone’s throat and a gentle knock on the doorframe. She whirled around, feeling as though she’d been caught red-handed, only to see that it was Aang. He grinned at her, opening his mouth to ask her what she was doing snooping around his office, only for him to feel the words dry up in his throat when he saw what she was holding.Ā 

She panicked, interpreting his expression as disappointment. ā€œI found it by accident, I swear, I-ā€

ā€œIt’s okay, Katara,ā€ Aang assured her, and he meant it. Maybe it was better that she’d found it this way. Spirits knew that it would’ve taken himĀ muchĀ longer to work up the nerve to broach the subject with her.

ā€œWho-who’s it… for?ā€ Katara asked, trying not to make the tremble in her voice too obvious. She wasn’t sure if she’d be able to keep it together if he told her that he’d found a lovely water tribe girl whoĀ wasn’t herĀ to settle down with.

ā€œShe’s beautiful,ā€ Aang smiled softly, shaking his head lightly. ā€œShe’s stubborn, opinionated, with a short temper at times, and I love how passionate she is about what she believes in. AboutĀ helpingĀ people. She’s an incredibly talented and exceedingly humble bender, and she’s so,Ā soĀ kind, and, did I already mention how beautiful she is? BecauseĀ spirits, she is. And I’mĀ soĀ in love with her. I have been since I was twelve.ā€ He took a deep breath, his hands shaking now.

ā€œI’m so, so,Ā soĀ in love withĀ youĀ , Katara.ā€

Katara suddenly could no longer form sentences.

ā€œDo you want to know when I made that necklace?ā€

She nodded, staring up at his eyes, her own welling with happy tears.Ā 

ā€œThe moment we arrived in the Northern Water tribe, years ago, I found a carver to teach me the significance of the symbols. Later on, I had Toph help me find an earthbender who specialized in teaching the skill required for etching tiny symbols in rock. I’ve carried it with meĀ every dayĀ since.ā€

Katara’s tears were flowing freely now.

ā€œI don’t want to rush you, don’t want to pressure you, and if you don’t want me the way I want you, then just say the word, and I’ll never mention it again, but Katara, I need you to know that I am head over heels for you. I meant what I said in my letters.

I am forever yours, always, if you’ll have me.ā€

romance novels and rom coms have been LYING to me because how in all of my years of life have i never been put in a scenario where the obvious solution to the problem at hand is to suddenly kiss the person closest to me, who happens to be my best friend (who may or may not be hopelessly in love with me), instantly shattering years of friendship and sending both of us down a path on which we will inevitably fall in love?

@bxriles hi!! i'm the one from the ask:)

i for one would love to see it even if it isn't fully done:) i loved the concept when i saw the original post, and i'm sure people would be happy to give some ideas or inspo for the final act!

i've had a couple bouts of writers block now where i've just flat out asked for inspo from people and for whatever reason, bouncing ideas off of people is always super helpful for reviving my writing-brain for a particular fic.

if you don't like uploading unfinished work, i totally get that, but i'm sure lots of people would love to see it and give you some help with that final act:)

hi, did you end up publishing that acotar fic you mentioned you were planning last year? i checked your ao3 for it when the post came up on my feed a few days ago, but couldn't find it:)

if not i totally get it and no judgement, as a fic writer myself i start and don't finish WIPs allllll the time <3

Hi!! Sorry for the late response! I missed this one somehow!

I have not posted it yet sadly 🄲 It’s about 75% written at this point, but I’ve hit a wall with the last act and I am STRUGGLING to finish it. I take so much pride in finishing all of my fics, so if I reach a point where I’m struggling this hard I get scared and end up not posting lmao. But it’s nice to hear that there are people still interested!! Maybe I should consider posting it and people can help give me ideas with the ending haha

bonus points if you manage to sing "so this is love" under your breath without getting a side-eye from the line cooks

my #1 tip for making the workday go faster at ur minimum wage service job is to pretend you are cinderella and are being forced to cook lukewarm pre-frozen chicken strips for your ungrateful stepsisters and stepmother

I Never Ever Stop Thinking About Sokka And Yue. THEM.
I Never Ever Stop Thinking About Sokka And Yue. THEM.
I Never Ever Stop Thinking About Sokka And Yue. THEM.

i never ever stop thinking about sokka and yue. THEM.

also ASTRONAUT SOKKA. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

presenting: "There's a Star-Man, Waiting In The Sky," by quillthrills on ao3

a flash-fiction atla modern AU in which yue passes away from cancer early in life, and sokka becomes an astronaut so that he can go to space and be close to the moon she always loved so much ☾

୧‿̩͙ ˖︵  ā‹†āŗā‚Šā‹† ā˜¾ā‹†āŗā‚Šā‹† ︵˖ ‿̩͙୨

ā€œY’know,ā€ Yue turned back to Sokka, smiling softly, her features bathed softly in starlight. ā€œI’ve always wondered what it would be like to be up there, alongside the moon.ā€ She reached down, gently picking up another chocolate dipped strawberry, her arm of silver bracelets clanking together.

ā€œNot sure how much I’d trust you in space.ā€ Sokka raised an eyebrow as he leaned in to kiss away the spot of chocolate caught in the edge of Yue’s full lips. He shot her a teasing grin. ā€œLooks like you can’t even properly finish your food.ā€

She shot him a glare, shoving him sideways onto the picnic blanket. ā€œYou know what I mean.ā€ Her eyes seemed to glaze over for a moment as she gazed up at the moon. ā€œCan’t you imagine how beautiful it must be up there?ā€

ā€œYeah,ā€ Sokka almost whispered the words, his eyes never leaving her face. ā€œIt must beĀ breathtakingĀ .ā€

Yue turned back to him again, her brow slightly creased now, as her once-soft tone became strained. ā€œWhen I die, I hope to go up there.ā€

ā€œThat won’t be for aĀ longĀ time.ā€ Sokka had intended the words to be decisive, but his voice shook as his eyes drifted back at the white-and-blue paper bracelet around Yue’s too-thin wrist, the hospital blotting out the stars behind them.

She only tipped her head, smiled in that sympathetic, selfless way she had. ā€œIĀ will, Sokka. You know I will.ā€ She raised that same bracelet-wearing arm skyward, her fingers tracing the moon in a soft caress. ā€œAnd when I do, you’ll find me upĀ thereĀ .ā€

୧‿̩͙ ˖︵  ā‹†āŗā‚Šā‹† ā˜¾ā‹†āŗā‚Šā‹† ︵˖ ‿̩͙୨

Sokka adjusted his helmet, his gloved, bulky hands reaching out to the button- speckled dashboard before him. He moved his way across the sparkling lights as if he’d been born aboard a spacecraft, but his hands still shook. They’d been shaking since he’d awoken that day.

It felt as though he’d been anxious to arrive since he and the other astronauts had boarded three days before. He’d been counting down the hours meticulously, pacing back and forth, so much so that another one of the crew members, Suki, had warily suggested he take a couple extra hours rest that night. When he did sleep, it was dreamless, light.

The first time Sokka had felt truly awake was when that beautiful silver sphere of light and crystalline rock drifted into view of the viewport early that morning. Since then, he’d been glowing with excitement, fighting tears with every minute. With every mile they came closer, and he could swear he saw her, her smile, her lips, herĀ essenceĀ in the hills and valleys of the moon ahead. Yue’s photo was tucked into the frame of his helmet, and in the corner of his eye, he swore he could see her smile softly at him as the ship finally began landing procedure. With the gentle whoosh of the airlock, Sokka finally allowed himself a moment to cry.

As heavy boots pressed into the dust and rocks of the almost untouched heavenly body, a boy wept, reunited with the love of his life once more, if only for a moment.

Is it hypocritical for Aang to be the one to call Zuko bald when he is objectively balder? Yes. Was this really funny to me? Also yes. God may forgive you for not capturing the avatar, but NO ONE will forgive you for that fuckass ponytail.
