free plot bunnies to good home

you know that one criminal minds episode about the lady who kills her husband and cleans up before the police arrive because he'd be furious with her if they saw the house so dirty? that's zuko. some kind of modern au, presumably, and he doesn't necessarily have to actually kill ozai, but just. procedural fic with the gaang interrogating zuko and realizing just how far the distorted reality goes when he tells them that his father was kind and merciful for burning him and giving him a chance to learn and return home.

So. fic in which Gili gets reincarnated as Dudley, meaning of course that this is a Magical Dudley au, and he and Harry have a very different childhood when Vernon and Petunia's number one enforcer outside the home instead grows up with a head full of memories of being oppressed in Camelot.

you know those fics where zuko is secretly pregnant during the events of the show for angst reasons? that except that instead of having the baby during the day of black sun or after his agni kai with azula, instead it's a cryptic pregnancy and the baby comes on the ferry to ba sing se, meaning that he and iroh are settling into the outer ring with an infant Izumi and zuko's iroh-or-azula question during crossroads of destiny comes down to whether or not his one-month-old will be safe in the fire palace or not (which. she may or may not be, but zuko DEFINITELY won't be as a 16 year old returning from exile with an infant)

shifter au where zuko is an opossum. the angst/morality coma is literally a survival response bc if he looks dead right after doing something his father wouldn't approve of he 1) won't be awake to be hurt immediately afterward and 2) is theoretically less likely to be literally murdered. this is funny until it's angsty.

there's a scene in my head that I have 0 plot and 0 additional context for, in which somehow the Gaang ends up confronting Ozai with Zuko being there Ba Sing Se style but instead of just struggling internally and then flipping sides, he both genuinely knows his father is wrong and is too scared to oppose him, leading to the back and forth between the Gaang and Ozai/Azula trying to convince Zuko to their side resulting in Zuko collapsing to his knees, crying, saying "I'm loyal, I'm loyal, I promise I'm loyal" over and over again

Chief Hakoda of the Wolf Cove tribe arrives to a peace summit with other world and military leaders where the new Fire Lord has requested representatives of neutral Kyoshi island to act as moderators to help settle questions of withdrawal, reparations, and treaties going forward. His children weren't supposed to come, but he finds himself surprisingly grateful that they snuck aboard when they somehow manage to make friends with the Fire Lord's spirit-touched nephew, inadvertently easing the way for some of the more difficult negotiations.

*scared out of his mind and trying his best

optional yuji goes to UA plot.

an opportunity to explore the social implications of quirklessness (maybe there are only a few students at jujutsu tech each year specifically because quirklessness is becoming so much rarer?? just saying)

aka, Force Usage is energybending and the Force (i.e. the energy of the universe) has just gotten permission from the Avatar to transplant all the Jedi from the moments after Order 66 starts (after the order has been issued but before anyone has actually died) to the Air temples. They all appear pretty much at random and nobody knows who's alive or not until communications can happen-- which is both harder, because this world doesn't yet have radio transmission, and easier, because there's so much less darkness in the force that mind-to-mind communication is suddenly a lot easier than it was in a galaxy so many galaxies away from the one they now find themselves in.

hawkeye makes friends with the strange, silent figure in black with the stitched mouth seam on the face of her mask who's been hanging around his apartment building. Who knew mysterious shadow creatures use ASL too? aka Cass makes a new friend (pizza dog) and then another one (pizza dog's human). Clint thinks he’s accidentally adopting cass. Everyone who encounters the two of them seems to agree. Then he meets Bruce and realizes that actually, cass is the one who has adopted him and Bruce is going to claim responsibility for both of them regardless of how old or nominally adultish Clint is Cass drags him to the manor and presents him like a puppy she found in a ditch Bruce can only sigh and approach it with the same kind of attitude: “You can only keep him if you can take care of him”

(team member): It's okay nightwing, we won't tell anyone if you bend us out of this one Nightwing: I literally can't? (team member): you move like an airbender tho?! Is your identity really more important than getting us out of here alive?! Nightwing: I'm flattered and all, but I'm literally just a guy

after Damian dies he becomes a guardian of childhood, specifically with the purpose of protecting children in violent situations. Instead of coming back to life, his family members eventually come to be able to see him by way of belief.

Leon, accidentally immortal and tired of watching merlin mope for the last couple centuries and therefore desperately needing a break, accidentally joins the justice league. He's really not sure what he's doing here, but the founders seem to like him well enough, so he'll take it. It's been too long since he had any friends who weren't around back in camelot anyways

Scrapped princess but bruce is the one who was locked away for refusing to get rid of his kid and damian is the pacifica of this world.
