Avatar Dark-fic Meme!!!!

[avocado_love]

Hey all! beckyh2112  is having a anti whump-Zuko meme. It's gonna be good, but I thought it would be fun to explore the... darker side of our favorite fandom, in contrast.

This is not just Zuko-whump meme, per say. All Avatar characters are welcome in order to explore their darkest sides. After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions isn't it? *Grin*

So go on and reply with up to 4 requests. I promise to do at least 1 from everyone, so do your darnest to be dark. (Although I'm drawing the line at rape and incest.)

Hakoda's Secret Weapon PART 8 END!!!

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

******

Zuko looks up as Sokka enters the cave, then looks away. He’s proud… Pride is probably all he has left, now.

Sokka doesn’t care. He crosses the cave and right over to the chained boy. It’s almost an embrace, but he tells itself he’s doing this for practical purposes. He needs to be quiet, whispering in the Prince’s ear.

“We have a rule in my Tribe,” he says. “If you save a man’s life, then that man owes you a debt.”

Zuko is silent for a full minute. “In the Fire Nation, if you save a man’s life, you’re honor-bound to pay it back.”

Well, that was good enough for him. Sokka’s boomerang flashed – he caught Zuko’s thin frame this time as his own legs gave out. “Your coming with me,” he says. “And you’re bound by your honor. If you hurt Aang, if you even look at him funny, then I’m tipping you off the side of the bison saddle. That’s the rule. Can you live with that?”

Zuko shuttered in his arms. And nodded.

poor zuko! man, that was brutal. and for sokka as well, it has to be hard for the boy to look at that situation, see what his father is doing, and still do the right thing. all things considered, i'm glad this had a little bit of happy at the end;)

Thank you! :D Yeah, that in a nutshell was what I was aiming for: Sokka realizing that the people he loves are capable of something really horrible. :D I'm glad you liked the end!

Wow, I almost feared you would stop the story after part 6.
I have two questions though.
Shouldn't it go: “In the Fire Nation, if you save a man’s life, he is honor-bound to pay it back.” ?

What means the word shuttered? Zuko shuttered in his arms.

Wow, how embarrassing. You caught two typos in a row!

1) D'oh! Yes.
2) It's supposed to be shuddered, not shuttered (I've always, always, always gotten those two mixed up for some odd reason). Shuttered is the act of closing something like a window, with a specific type of blind. (Or a metaphor for being closed it). Shudder is a convulsive movement -- a reaction of the body, like trembling.

I suck. :P

You don't suck. You are really creative and I love it. I asked cause I'm still learning this language and the translation of shuttered was bit weird :)

Ahh, I am Finnish. I came into fandom about four years ago and my English has slowly gotten way better. Now I personally think that my English kicks ass. ^^

And it's always nice to see someone in this fandom who doesn't speak english as his/her mother language. ^^
