Happy Birthday @lbwings!!!

omg LLO better fix that

So if I were writing this fic for a:tla, I’d have it be a sort of amalgam of snapshots covering the approximate time span that the comics do, catching up with everyone in the years after the war.  All set at nighttime, thus allowing the possibility for starlight when the weather allows.

Some of it would be lighthearted–Toph shouting insults at her metalbending students (”Oh, so it’s dark and you can’t see as well as usual?  Tough luck, weaklings!  Welcome to my world!” etc.), Sokka dragging Suki on some late-night run through whatever city they’re in to find meat (”Sokka, we just ate dinner.” / “But, Suki, I’m hungry now and breakfast isn’t until morning!”), touching on any romances occurring at the time with our main characters–but other parts would be a little darker (exploring some assassination plots against Zuko and/or Aang, glimpsing citizens of various nations who still don’t have enough money and/or food, Ozai or Azula’s mental state, sifting through the discontentment that can come from getting what you thought you wanted–the war is over!–and still not feeling fulfilled in your life *cough*Katara-as-the-Avatar’s-girl*cough*, etc.).

Hopefully the overall effect would be sort of muted and poetic.  I’d probably end it with a scene in the actual rain at night, maybe some characters gathering under a porch seeking shelter from the weather, with a vaguely optimistic outlook for the future.
