Looking at this GIF right before writing new chapters to channel MASTER Katara of the Southern Water Tribe.

Single Coolest Character in all of Fiction.

The Poly Ship of the Day is:

Zukitara New Year's!

Hello my dear 💜 thank you not only for the distraction, but also for being the number 1 consistent supporter of the Zukitara agenda!

How about a little countdown get together for our ot3?

"Five minutes to midnight! Get your drinks and your chap stick ready!"

Zuko winced at Sokka's call over the crowded party. He hadn't planned on staying this close to the countdown. Not when he couldn't kiss who he wanted...

Scanning the living room, Zuko cursed under his breath. They were standing too close to the door to make his exit. Looking for other quick exits, he decided his only option was to hide out on the patio till after the countdown and wait till he could make his leave without them noticing.

He braced for the chill of wind as he stepped outside, but it barely bothered him. Glancing down at his whiskey, Zuko tried to remember how many drinks he'd had.

Maybe he should just ask Sokka if he could crash on his couch.

With a sigh, he finished his drink and set it on the patio table, stepping up to the railing to look over Ba Sing Se. The city glittered, aglow with lanterns and lights, and in the distance, people were setting off fireworks 5 minutes early.

Zuko glanced at his watch. Make that 3 minutes early.

He'd had so much hope for this year and now here he was - pining for his two best friends, who were with each other, no less, and about to ring in another year by himself.

Maybe New Years wasn't a real holiday, either. Just because the date changed didn't make the passing of time any less unavoidable. Change happened every day, not just on the first, so why was there so much pressure to make New Years Eve so special? Why was there so much emphasis on these silly traditions - like fireworks or champagne toasts or kisses at midnight -

Zuko was drawn from his silent grumblings by the sound of the sliding door closing shut. Glancing over his shoulder, he immediately stiffened at the sight of the two people he'd been avoiding all night.

Katara and Suki.

"Hey there," Suki said, ignoring his surely panicked look and sidling up to his side. "It's almost midnight."

"I- I know," Zuko mumbled.

"And you thought you'd ring in the New Year by yourself?" Katara asked, stepping close to his other side.

Too close.

"Y-yeah, I mean... why does it matter?"

Katara and Suki shared a look he couldn't read but desperately wished he understood. When they glanced back at him, they were both smiling.

"Because we want to be the ones you kiss at midnight," Katara said.

"Both of us," Suki added, and Zuko found himself exceptionally grateful but terribly confused at her clarification.

"You- you both... want-"

"You," Katara finished. "And we're pretty sure you want us too."

"Correct us if we're wrong..." Suki trailed off. Zuko felt his cheeks flush but forced himself to shake his head.

Distantly, Zuko recognized the sound of Sokka calling the crown to start the countdown from 30 seconds.

"You're not wrong," he whispered, the confession feeling like shackles had fallen from his wrists. "But I don't- I wouldn't want it to be a one time thing. I- I like you both. A lot. Too much, if I'm being honest-"

Katara placed a finger over his lips to hush him.

"We feel the same. And we can talk about this more tomorrow, but for now, all we're asking is that in..." she trailed off, listening to the hum of the party, the city, countdown, "15 seconds, you'll kiss us both."

Zuko took half a step back from the railing so he could glance between the couple, cataloguing Katara's wide eyes and Suki's warm smile.

"8, 7, 6..."

Finding no trace of a joke, or malice, Zuko finally let himself smile. "Of course," he said, quiet but sure.

Katara grinned, and Suki squeezed his hand.

"3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!"

They surprised him by both kissing his cheeks, on on each side. Zuko laughed and tilted his head first to capture Katara's lips. She squeaked but quickly recovered, raising a hand to tangle in his loose hair.

When Zuko could no longer breath he pulled back just long enough to inhale before leaning down to Suki and kissing her as well. She wasted no time pulling him close.

When he pulled back the second time, Suki and Katara reached for each other for a quick kiss, briefly letting their foreheads rest against the others, before turning to him.

"Happy New Year, Zuko," Katara said.

"Would you like to finish ringing in the new year at our place?" Suki asked, her smirk turning wicked.

GEM!!! Zukitara Agenda time!

SHIP IT!!!! My absolute favorite OT3!!!

1. What made you ship it?

You did. Haha. Also, reading some amazing Zukitara fics. ^.^

I love Zutara and because of the comics I developed a soft spot for Zuki, and Sukitara is wonderful. So combining them all makes sense to me.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

Everything. They're all so great together. Also, I love how we're keeping the Zukitara Agenda alive!!! ^.^

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Hi everyone! As some of you may know because of this post, I have been considering conducting a series of interviews to feature all of our favorite fic writers in the ATLA and LOK fandom. Well, lo and behold, I have decided to go through with it because I got a good amount of notes on the post indicating your interest. 

To further gauge this interest, though, I created a Google Form where authors can request to be interviewed and where everyone can just request for me to reach out to their favorite writers. You can also request them via my ask box, but I’d rather the Form just for organizational purposes hehe.

If I get enough people to interview, I’ll begin to send out interview questions that writers can answer and I’ll publish the articles in a good ole Tumblr post. 

Hi, I am trying to be a bit more consistent about writing. To that end, I am looking for prompts for ATLA ships. 

Ships I am most interested in: Zutara, Zuki, Sukitara, Mailee, Azulee, Sokkla, Zukitara, Yukka, Yutara, Azula/Jiang Ships I won’t write for: anything with aang; zukka (sorry to those shippers, just not my thing)

Added some slight green accents, near Katara's wrists and pinning Zuko's crown. The idea is using a jade pin or a green tinted metal as wristbands.

This is based on my love for both Zutara, Sukitara and the amazing potential of Zuki. With each of the three relying on and supporting the others while they brave the politics and associated dangers of trying to make the world a better and kinder place after a century of war, genocide and doing so from inside a highly imperialistic nation.
