yukinoomoni(Well, for me it is, anyway.)
Because all of you are so awesome and amazing for having to put up with my daily histrionic babbling, I've decided to hold a Friends List Appreciation Week event here on my journal. Please comment with a request for one (or all) of the following:
-Name of a fandom, character and prompt, for a little ficlet written just for you;
-Question that you have been meaning to ask me but keep forgetting;
-Something that you have been meaning to tell me but haven't found the chance;
-A request for a good read, good listen, good show/movie, or good whatever;
-A nice compliment just for you!
There are no limits and no slots. This will be open for everyone on my friends list, for as long as it takes for everyone to participate if they would like! If I am unable to fill the ficlet request, you will be given a chance to make another request.
Okay! Go!

Date: 2011-09-30 10:55 pm (UTC)I find our friendship funny. We started out as such angry enemies adamant on ship superiority, prone to snarling at each other at the least provocation. Now, because of your maturity, I have discovered that you are a rather interesting, thoughtful, and fun person, and you also understand much of how I am because you have had similar experiences. I'm glad we were able to patch things up and become friends. I'm glad you had the courage to be mature when I did not.

Date: 2011-09-30 11:08 pm (UTC)Okay, so now you get a compliment!
I know I can always count on you for a kind word, and that's really wonderful. It's so rare to see a kind word offered freely nowadays, but you always seem to be the first to jump in and give more than one word =3. I really am grateful for your kindness and patience, and I hope I'm able to provide the same for you!

Katara/Aang, ATLA, Teach Them to Fly
The only one of thinking of would be about one of your ex-boyfriends, to see if I deduced correctly, but I won't bring up bad memories of the past.
I think you are an infinitely better writer than I'll ever be, and all those times I'm jealous, I'm mad at myself, not at you. I wish you the best.
The Forest by Edward Rutherford, not fantasy, but probably my favorite of his by far.
Am I supposed to compliment myself or are you?

Date: 2011-10-01 01:25 am (UTC)Will you 'sever let Terry probe your nether regions?
It's lots of fun if you use plenty of lube!
Please can we go have a good road trip to Montreal and visit Joelle?
You are totally awesome and interesting!

No requests on this end either. Just be your blunt, honest self. :)

Aang/Katara, Anniversary
Date: 2011-10-01 02:25 pm (UTC)But there were some things that should never be forgotten. And for Katara, an anniversary was definitely one of them.
It had been five years to the day that they had had their first real kiss in the new peacetime, one without confusion and dread and fear. For Katara, it was the first moment that they had finally gotten together, as a couple.
So why was she all alone in Iroh's tea shop, sipping the house blend moodily? Because Aang was in the Fire Nation, as usual, with Zuko, once again going over more plans for their stupid city, instead of with her, talking with her, laughing with her, being with her.
Iroh had, for the most part, left her alone, except to come by and fill her teacup or give her complimentary dough fritters. He occasionally gave her sympathetic glances and once offered a kind ear, but she was too angry and hurt to accept it. She just sat and brooded, hating Aang and Zuko and their stupid city and then not really hating anything all at once.
When it was close to closing, Iroh came by and said, very gently, "Would you like anything to go?"
Katara looked up at him, her eyes dark. "No, I'm okay. I guess ... I guess I just sort of hoped that Aang would surprise me, would just show up and surprise me with something and then everything would be perfect. But he's not here. And it isn't."
Iroh place a soft hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I'm sorry," he offered, and she sighed, deeply and painfully and said, "It's not quite okay yet. I just hope it will be."
Katara finished off her tea and got up to leave, realising with a start that it was already nighttime. She trudged slowly towards the door, not quite sure where she was going after this, just that she wasn't going to go home.
The moment she walked out of the door, she stopped. Her eyes flicked around her quickly, a wave of surprise spreading through her like a warm balm. Without her control, her face broke into a smile and her eyes stung with tears.
There, right on the wooden deck where they had kissed, was Aang, standing amidst a sea of candles with a small smile. Behind him was a small tea table, laden with delicious vegetarian foods that smelled heavenly. Aang grinned wider when he saw her.
"Finally," he said, a laugh in his voice. "I've been waiting here for hours!"
She threw herself at him and attacked him with kisses and half-hearted punches. "You made me think you forgot!"
Aang took both onslaughts with sparkling eyes. "Never," was all he said. It was all he needed to say.

I love how devoted to Kataang you are, and it's nice to have a fellow canon-fan! I'm very sorry to hear about your life disappointments, and I hope it gets better for you =(. Keep being awesome, okay?

A good read would also be nice! :D I've been looking for something good to read lately~
Zuko/Suki, tease
Date: 2011-10-01 02:56 pm (UTC)They were supposed to be paying attention. After all, it wasn't every day that the Firelord visited Kyoshi Island in order to hear the complaints of the people, in order to see what he could make right. It was supposed to be very serious and very sombre and not what Suki was making it into - there, she did it again! Right when he met her gaze! The tip of her tongue slipped out and slowly licked her lips, her eyebrows raised and her eyes half-closed, her hands on her knees tightening just a little.
Zuko glared at her, and something in her eyes sparked, now that she knew she had him. He shifted uncomfortably, knowing very well that he really was caught by her, and he also knew that he wouldn't be able to pay attention, no matter how hard he tried.
Suki was in full Kyoshi uniform today. That wasn't a surprise, especially since he was in full Firelord robes from head to foot. Why was it that whenever she decided she wanted him, they were always covered in layers of clothing? Was it some sort of intricate way she tortured him?
This was supposed to be serious! There - she did it again, this time reaching up with one gloved hand and running her fingers through her hair, her eyes on his from the corner of her gaze. That was playing dirty; she knew how much he loved threading his fingers through her hair while they made love.
He shifted again, well aware that his body was reacting in very inappropriate ways. He glared at her again, and her smile grew catlike, which sent another stab of heat into his belly.
Someone was saying something, something important, and he listened with half an ear, answering in a distracted tone as best as he could. Suki answered as well, sounding far more collected than he, but their eyes never left each other, the air between them hot and practically sparking.
When the meeting was over, Suki stayed where she was. Zuko couldn't move, at least not until the room was empty. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes bright and her red-painted lips spread wide in a sultry grin. When the door closed and they were alone, he was the first to close the distance, claiming those lips as his.
By the first kiss, she was laughing, those laughs slowly turning to soft moans as he reached for her beneath her robes.
Now, it was his turn to tease.

Date: 2011-10-01 03:04 pm (UTC)I'm supposed to compliment you, silly. But thank you for that compliment. It means a bunch to me.
As for you, I think you really could be successful if you just let yourself, you know? You're so worried about what others will think that it stops you and blocks you from writing. You need to just forget about what others may say or think or feel and just write what you want! You have the talent, you just need the drive! Drive it! Additionally, I really do feel like you support my writing, because you always ask me to write stuff, which to me says that you really do enjoy what I scribble, which means a ton.
And your fic is forthcoming.
Katara/Aang, Teach Them To Fly
Date: 2011-10-01 03:33 pm (UTC)But...
Only Tenzin was showing signs of actually getting it, and he was the youngest. His other two children were both looking frustrated and mutinous, despite showing signs of being airbenders.
"Dad," Tyana snapped, the oldest who, at eleven, had once fallen off a cliff and merely floated, was now, at fourteen, having trouble with the air scooter. "This is not working."
Quan, who had shown early signs of being a waterbender without actually bending it, agreed with his sister, his lip stuck out. In the summer, on a hot day last year, he had once summoned up a small whirlwind that enveloped him and cooled him off, but now he too was having trouble.
Tenzin, however, was scratching his head, looking even smaller now that his head was bald. He had demanded it a few weeks ago, out of nowhere, claiming that if was going to be an airbender, then he had better look the part. "I dunno," he said softly, "I think it could work."
Katara sighed deeply from behind Aang, expressing the very sentiment that he felt. "Aang, I think maybe you should give it a rest for today."
He privately agreed, but he felt that if he admitted it, then maybe they would think that he was giving up on him, which was the last thing he wanted.
"Just watch, okay? I'll do it very slowly," he said, and both Tyana and Quan groaned loudly and rolled their eyes. Tenzin scowled not at Aang, but at his siblings, before looking at his dad again with focussed eyes.
Aang went through the steps slowly, making sure that his moves were obvious and well-explained. Tyana and Quan, usually such focussed students, were both hot and cranky, and thus were no longer bothering to try. Tenzin, while both hot and cranky, was also eager to prove himself, and he went through the steps as if his life depended on it.
And finally, a small little sphere burst to life from his hands, much too small to ride - but that didn't stop Tenzin from trying. He tried to jump onto it, only to fall flat on his backside with a gasp, before he burst into laughter.
Aang did, too, without really thinking about, instantly delighted. "There, see?" he demanded of Katara, who looked surprised but happy. "It can be done!" He turned to his two older children. "If the youngest of you three can do it, then you both can do it! Now start again!"
Katara sighed, as Aang started again. She knew he wouldn't give up until all three of their babies were soaring through the air.

Date: 2011-10-01 03:46 pm (UTC)Er, considering my past experience with mthat area was a CT Scan prob, it's unlikely.
I would like to say yes, I really would, but I'm not sure when this can happen. I'm owed a week of vacation, but I wanted to use it for Christmas holidays. In the new year I'll be back to two weeks, so maybe we can look into it then.
Thank you <3

Date: 2011-10-01 03:49 pm (UTC)Hm. Well, I'm watching Wolf's Rain. Have you seen it? It's not a very uplifting anime, but it's very interesting and nicely animated. Another one I could recommend if you're looking for a light high school romance is ToraDora.
If you've seen both, let me know and I can recommend more!
