âYou. Son. Of. A. Bitch,â you ground out through clenched teeth as you tried to manhandle your snack from the vending machine.
âE3, right? That one always sticks,â a familiar voice said.
You wrinkled your nose as you turned and looked at the teacher who had just walked in.Â
âI donât need an ethics lesson, Murdock, I need my damn cheez-its.â
Matt laughed as he made his way over to you. You stepped out of the way of the cane . When he got to the machine, he looked over his shoulder at you conspiratorially.
âMake sure no one is looking.â
âNot the time for a blind joke, got it,â you mumbled as you looked at the door. âCoast is clear. Work your magic.â
He kneed the edge of the machine once. The force knocked not only your snack free, but another bag as well.
âYou are the absolute worst,â you said in gratitude as you pulled the snacks out, offering the spare to Matt. âWhat kind of person teaches ethics and steals chips?â
âI didnât steal anything. You paid money and the product wasnât given to you. Weâll just call this a fair trade for my help.â
His grin was contagious and you laughed. He nudged his shoulder against yours gently.
âI can smell clay. Your art class is already doing sculptures?â
Your grin turned playful.Â
âYeah. You should come by the classroom after school. I can show you some of my work.â
His eyebrows raised behind the red tinted glasses.
âIs that another blind joke?â
You leaned in so that your mouth could brush his cheek.
âItâs sculptures Matt; you can use your hands to get the feel for it. Who knows, maybe youâll even like using your hands.â
The light blush on his cheeks made you grin as you stepped back.

I love this
Okay, so⊠idk why that came to my mind but Iâll roll with it.
Also there are surely some discrepancies in timelines and such but itâs an AU and I donât really look for accuracy here
- The chief of the Southern Water Tribe is like âOh shit, we have only like seven benders left. We canât afford another attack of the Fire Nationâ and he meets up with Fire Lord Azulon to propose a peace treaty. Only Azulonâs an asshat and heâs like âPeace and no further attacks on you? Well, you can have that, no problem, but for that weâll need tokens. You can still have your benders but we will trade nonbending people between our two cultures⊠sort of a slave trade deal. You can do whatever you want with the people we send you and we can do whatever we want with those you send us. Oh! And of course, the Southern Water Tribe will raise our flag additionally to yours and, before I forget it, youâre obligated to send us Water Tribe specialities as our nobility finds them quite⊠interesting.â
And the chief is overwhelmed and canât quite understand why the slave trade thing has to happen (itâs because Azulonâs eager to see if he can manipulate the genetics into his favours so that theyâll end up building a waterbending force additionally to a firebending one (which they can use as healers if they have that gift), firebenders born into the Southern Water Tribe also are sort of lifetime test subjects who show whether they can remain in such conditions or not (also if they can be trained to withstand the cold and become better benders that way) and most of his war council consists of those creepy old men who are weirdly obsessed with âexoticâ features) but he has no other choice but to agree because he knows another (last) attack is on the horizon. Itâs better to essentially become a Fire Nation colony than to lose all of their benders for good, he thinks.
- Fast forward a couple of years. Azulon has managed to gain forty waterbenders by mostly trading men from the Water Tribe for women from the Fire Nation. As you know men can um⊠make a lot more children in a short period of time than women. The Southerners arenât really treated as people and more as concubines while the Fire Nation people in the south are treated as equals (and become enamoured with the culture - because theyâve always known only the strictness of the Fire Nation.) and they bring equality for men and women because now there are more women than men => leads to a fighting force consisting of men and women.
- One day Ozai really pisses off his father. Itâs a minor thing, really, but it leads to his fiancĂ© getting shipped off to the Southern Water Tribe and he gets the most fierce nonbending warrior woman of the Water Tribe as his wife instead - Kya. She is straight up able to make him eat dirt and refuses to be treated as a slave. Hakoda gets Ursa - this meek, shy girl who refuses to raise her voice or look him in the eyes. Thereâs a whole subplot for Hakoda and Ursa slowly getting together while Kya dominates the shit out of Ozai because she wants kids and has no hope of ever returning to Hakoda (her true love). She sort of takes over the Fire Nation after Azulonâs⊠unfortunate death.
=> Kya and Ozaiâs children are Zuko and Katara while Ursa and Hakodaâs are Sokka and Azula (who Ursa names after the man who essentially set her free)
- just. think. of. the. implications.Â
- Zuko is allowed to be a soft boi and because Kya all but overtakes the government, thereâs never an Agni Kai between Ozai and Zuko. Also Ozaiâs forced to love his children. Kya wonât take a no.
- Kya loves her two children equally. She doesnât mind that Zukoâs a firebender. Itâs just the way things are.
- When Ozai foolishly asks his father if he can have the throne after Prince Lu Tenâs death and Azulon asks for Zuko to die Kya fucking explodes and stealthily poisons the Fire Lord but with such a slow acting poison that nobody can trace it. => Ozaiâs like âDAmn wife, poisoning my dad?? Kinda hot nglâŠâÂ
- So, like, Ozaiâs more and more showing his human side because Kya just yeets the throne out of his hand (âNo, someone unstable like you is not going to reign a freaking country, what the hell? Gimme those documents, husband.â) and after being manhandled into caring for his kids he has those little moments in which he shows that he can, in fact, love but itâs burrowed under layers upon layers of jealousy, hatred, anger and manipulative demeanour. Kyaâs not one to turn down a challenge, though.
=> so. many. trips. to. ember island.
- Kataraâs a fierce thing. She loves her brother, feels conflicted on her country and gives like a speech a day to the personnel who cowered under Azulon. Her waterbending is treated as something desirable by Ozai who, in turn, makes sure she gets teachers but heâll also imitate Iroh (only this once, of course, and heâd never say he saw a merit in an idea his brother of all people had) by also teaching her firebending forms. Kataraâs so dangerous but sheâs still herself. In this AU, her healing abilities come when Zuko falls from a roof and breaks his leg.
- Ursa and Hakoda take things slowly. Initially, thereâs a major heartbreak on Hakodaâs side, of course, because he really loved Kya wholeheartedly but slowly (and Iâm talking real slow - like slow burn times 3) he starts warming up to Ursa who doesnât know how to act in this new society sheâs been thrown into. Hakoda shows her how to fight⊠ugh, thatâs so cute I CANâT and then she someday is gifted a bethrotal necklace but itâs dark red and omg utreghuigheguhenffberfievbhue
- Sokka and Azula are siblings. This is interesting on different levels because for one, Sokkaâs a nonbender. Meaning that he only can impress with his boomerang and intelligence while his little sisterâs a goddamn firebending prodigy who can?? Shoot lightning??? Wtf???
- Hakoda is Best Dad and instantly sees Azulaâs unhealthy desire of perfectionism early on and sends her to the tribeâs psychiatrist. She still has anger outbursts but she is a lot more stable than in canon. Also, sheâs obsessed with Sokka learning new fighting styles. She wonât stop arguing about the merits of him learning the sword or him learning the bow or him learning the art of chi blocking or him learning⊠basically, itâs Azulaâs form of care but it annoys Sokka to no end (even though he loves his little sister too, obviously).
- There is not an ounce of sexism in Sokka because⊠um⊠have you seen his sister?!
- So, one day, thereâs a letter from the Fire Nation. To Hakoda. Saying âHey, whatâs up, my old fiancĂ©? I took over the Fire Nation - how about we meet up some time for a renewed peace treaty and to show off our kids?â And Hakodaâs like âOmg, Kya. What the hell?â but he grins the whole time and is so glad that his almost-wife is thriving. He wouldnât have thought sheâd give in easily but to hear the good news lifts a rock off his heart. Ursaâs a little bit hesitant but Hakoda tells her that sheâs his wife now and a meeting between the two couples wonât change that.
- They all meet up when Sokka & Zuko are 14 and Katara & Azula 12-ish; surprisingly, it goes super well? Oh, well⊠apart from the fact that Katara and Azula begin arguing like crazy when theyâre on Southern Water Tribe territory and accidentally free the Avatar.
- So now they have the Avatar.
- But Aangâs kinda not needed all that much because Ozai sure as hell wonât do anything to capture him - not when Kyaâs been stopping a war that he slowly begins to see was totally f-ed up
- Aang grows up with Katara, Sokka, Zuko and Azula at his side. They then later on stumble upon a lemur, a Kyoshi warrior and Toph during one of their trips (which they can do only when theyâre at least 14 because Kya isnât going to let her kids roam around when they barely hit puberty yet.)
- Sozinâs Comet comes and goes. Ozai guesses he could have technically taken out the Earth Kingdom but who the hell does that kinda stuff? Heâs not a villain in some theatrical play or something.
- The war ends for sure when Ozai finally gives in and signs the peace treaty between the different remaining nations (and Aang as the last airbender). Itâs not like everythingâs alright now that theyâre not attacking but itâs a lot better than before.Â

Intro prologue chapter two
Maverick sat down on the barstool with his daughter following him, Her following him around brought him back to the old times when she didn't want to be separated from him when she was a little girl.
"How was the mach nine?" She asked as they enters the Hard Deck.
"Oh I blow it." He said beaming.
"Im sorry what?" Y/n ask him not believing her ears, questioning herself did she get it right. He nods with his eyes on his phone talking to Iceman.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." A voice said. The Mitchell's lift their head to see Penny Benjamin.
"Pete." Penny said with a smile.
"Penny?" Maverick says leaning in to the bar, not believing his eyes. He went ballistic with Penny Benjamin when he was younger. After her mother passed away he starts to learn to move on, he met Penny again got into trouble got deployed somewhere else by the Admiral.
"Heya Pen."
"What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you the same thing." Y/n watch the adults interact with a glint of curiosity, they were being suspicious. Like they are still attracted to each other. The two practically stared into each other's souls.
"Please for the sake of my sanity stop eye fucking each other." Her words made them broke their stare, a innocent smile forming to her face. "Penny, can I have a Soda?"
Penny nods then asked what's her dad doing here, he starts to tell her how this is his last post. Penny did not believe him.
"Come on Pete, you've been saying that as long as I known you. You said that after you take me to a joy ride in a F-18 and the next thing I know you're off to Bosnia. Then Iraq, both times. You've got yourself in trouble and Iceman makes a call." Penny said giving Maverick a beer and her Soda. "And you're back into the air."
"Penny..." Maverick starts.
"Too late." Penny interrupt, "You're about to ask me what time I get off."
Maverick shakes his head with a smile, "Don't give me that look" she said making Y/n snorts, she's aware that her dad's smile is cocky and pretty sure he doesn't have any look other than that.
"I'm not giving you any look, I swear."
"You know how it always ends for us," Penny eyed him.
Y/n eyes watched him leans to the counter with a smile, "You look good." He said to Penny, Penny takes a step back and rings the bell causing people to cheer at the sound.
"Much appreciated pal." A Navy said patting her dad's shoulder.
"What am I missing here?" Maverick asked Penny and Y/n.
Penny step aside to reveal the plate behind her, guess he didn't see it because he was too busy lost in Penny's eyes. 'Disrespect a lady, the Navy, or put your cell phone on my bar you buy a round.' Maverick turned to face his daughter, "You knew about this?"
"The plate is right infront of you, you would have known it if you weren't too focused on Penny."
He rolled his eyes, he looks around there was a lot of people "For everyone?"
"I'm afraid rules are rules, sir." Y/n said in a military tone.
"You're lucky it's early." Penny continues.
Y/n takes her glass into her hand with her eyes scanning the room, her eyes meet another pair of eyes.
Jake Seresin suddenly feels the room turned quiet when his eyes laid on the h/c. As if everything in this room faded away, everything felt so slow. Y/n send him a small smile and look away embarrassed that she got caught looking at someone.
He snapped out of it when he saw a familiar face causing him to smirk, "Look what do we have here, Phoenix." He walks closer to Phoenix, "And here I thought we were special, Coyote." He added.
"Fellas this here is bagman." Phoenix introduced to the guys behind her.
"Hangman." He corrected with a forced smile.
"Whatever, you are looking at the naval aviator that have duty to kill."
"Stop." Jake joked.
"Mind you the guy was in museum piece from a Korean war," Phoenix finished.
"Cold War." Coyote said.
"Different war same century." A guy from behind Phoenix stated.
"Who are your friends?" Coyote asked.
"Payback." Reuben Fitch said.
"Fanboy." Mickey Garcia says with a nod.
Phoenix nod her head beside her, "Who's he?" A guy with a glasses patting away the crumbs from his uniform.
"When did you get in?"
"Oh I've been here the whole time." He replied with a sweet smile.
"The man a stealth pilot." Coyote joked.
"Weapons system actually." He answered not getting the joke.
"With no sense of humor." Jake nods. He keeps stealing glanced to the barstool, watching her having a conversation with an older guy beside her. He felt his heart pumped faster when he hears her laugh at the man words beside her.
"You need a drink? I'll get it." Jake push the cue to Phoenix.
Phoenix was little shocked that was new of him. She turn back to the guy asking questions.
"What do they call you?"
"Bob." He answered.
"No, your call sign." Payback asked.
"Uh Bob."
"Bob Floyd? You're my new back seater?" Phoenix asked him, "From lemoore?" She asked.
"Looks like it, yeah." Bob replied.
Fanboy perked up remembering that he was assigned as a back seater to someone who have Ciel as their call sign, "Do any of you know Ciel? I was assigned as their back seater."
Phoenix jaw dropped "Ciel? Lucky you, Ciel's back seater quit being a naval aviator, said he doesn't want his wife to be a widow any time sooner." She quickly looks around for her friend.
Her eyes twinkles when she found Ciel or her civilians name Y/n Mitchell, sitting on the barstool with a older guy that she did not know that happens to her old man. Phoenix was about to call her but shut her mouth when Y/n put her index finger on her lips which Phoenix nods at.
"Penny my dear," He near the barstool making sure to make yet another eye contact with the h/c woman. "All four more on the old timer."
Y/n noticed the guy is slowly approaching her, she look at her glass of Soda pretending to not know he's not going to talk to her.
"I'm Hangman." He reached his hand out to her.
She decided to play the guy's ego, she shook his hand "Well that's unfortunate." Y/n said pretending to not know its a call sign making Maverick smirk at her words.
"No, it's my call sign." He said.
"Call sign? Oh you're a pilot" Y/n send him a awed face, she fake gasp not that he knows. Pretending to not like her dad did not briefed her about pilots introducing themselves with their call sign but for the sake of having fun.
"That's right, a naval aviator." He respond proudly. She cleared her throat, "I'm Y/n Mitchell." She said with a smile.
"Jake seresin." He plastered a smirk on his face making her bashfully look away from his gaze.
"Here you go." Penny interrupt giving the Ken doll look alike his beers.
"It was nice talking to you, Hangman" Y/n flash him a smile.
"Thank you, much appreciated pops" Jake said to nodding to Maverick and send Y/n a flirtatious wink causing her to giggle.
Penny turns to Maverick with a knowing smile.
"Bradshaw! is that you?" Phoenix voice called out.
Y/n turned her head to the entrance, there he is. Almighty Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw. Her childhood bestfriend. She looks at her dad with a toothy grin but turned into sad smile when she saw him turn his head avoiding to be seen by his godson, the Mitchell man pulled out the young Bradshaw papers, set Bradley's career back four years.
She chuckled when she saw Phoenix hit him in the gut with the cue. She watched Jake talk with Bradley, to be honest its more like joking around but in a weird way.
Phoenix leans to his shoulder "I heard Ciel's coming in this mission."
"Ciel? Already?" More aviators starts to enter the hard deck with the evening rush, Fanboy was looking at them.
"The hell kind a mission is this?"
"That's not what we're supposed to be asking," Phoenix continued "Everyone here is the best there is, who the hell are they going to teach us?"
"Any of them is Ciel?" Fanboy ask Phoenix.
"Nope," Phoenix dragged the p. "Ciel just finished her last mission, from what I heard she shot down 5 of the enemy fighter jets."
Everyone jaw hanged, 5 of enemy fighter jets? That's higher than Jake "Hangman" Seresin.
Back to the main character, Y/n tapped her father on the shoulder whispering she's going to the restroom. As she walk she felt someone eyes behind her head.
Entering the restroom she turn the water on to wash her hands as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. The door swung open and in walk the guy she talked before on the bar.
"This the ladies restroom, the gentleman is across from this one." Y/n told him looking at him from the mirror.
"Oh I'm not looking for the restroom," He said.
Y/n 'oh'ed at his words, She turned around leaning her back at the counter with her arms crossed, "So what did you wanna do, just drop right down on the tile and go for it?" She asked him tapping the ground with her shoe as he approached.
Jake put his hands on the counter pressing them hard, checking if it can hold someone on it, "No, I had the counter in mind." He said looking at her.
Y/n reach her arm for the tissue, "Great, that would be very, very comfortable yeah."
"It could be unless you prefer standing instead." He says with a smirk leaning on his hand on the counter making her shaking her head at him while she wipes her hands.
"Actually, I came in here to save you from making a big mistake with that older guy." Jake said kissing his teeth.
"Really? So I could go on to a bigger one with a young guy like yourself?" She throw the tissue away looking back at Jake whom she think is fun to messed with.
"Maybe?" He tilt his head while he raises his eyebrow.
She pushed herself from the counter "I've gotta be at work very early in the morning." She send him a tight lipped smile. He shrugs with a smug look, he catch her arm.
"Wait," he pulled her hand to his chest, she raise one eyebrow "I have a friend and he's waiting outside. Wanna fool him?" He asked.
"Aw, what's in it for me?" She tilt her head with her chin high.
"You'll have fun with a guy like me," he says shaking her hand.
"Still don't know what's in it for me."
"I'll buy you a drink next time we see each other," He said with a wink.
"What makes you think we'll see each other next time?" She asked.
"Hey you'll never know, you might miss me." He grinned, leaning down to her face and brush some stray hair out of her face.
"Fine," She rolled her eyes.
They both walked out from the restroom, her eyes scanning through the crowd. "So which one is your friend that we're gonna fool?"
"That one, see that guy staring at his beer?" Jake whispers into her ear and pointed at guy.
"He looks like he's staring at his lover." Y/n commented making him grin at her words.
She was about to walk towards the guy but Jake grabbed her wrist, he turns her head towards him.
"Just need to do this," he wipe her lower lip, wiping her lipstick. Her heart feels like it's going to burst. "Now when you walk to him, apply your lipstick again so he'll believe it."
"Wow, You're full of surprises." She said, stepping away and start to walk to Coyote with her lipstick in her hand.
"Your friend was magnificent" she said as she reapplying her lipstick, he looks up from his beer watching her figure walking away. Jake stood beside him with a smug smirk.
"Nah, that can't be."
She take her sit back next to her dad who stares at her with a slight scolding eyes, she raise her hands "What? I didn't do anything, beside it was fun messing with him."
"Let's go, I'll drive you home, where are you staying?" Maverick asked.
"At Penny's. She offered a place for me to stay as soon she knows I'm in town."
Penny walks to the Mitchell with a card in her hand, she slide the card to Maverick "It's been declined." He take out his wallet for the cash.
"That wouldn't cover it." Penny hands him the check, he cannot believe the bill she had gave him.
"I'll come back tomorrow bringing the cash" Maverick responded. Penny walks to the bell holding the rope, "I'm afraid rules are rules Pete." She rings the bell once again, the crowd cheers and start chanting "Hoverboard."
"Really?" Maverick said to Penny. Who smiles innocently at him.
"You've should use my money," She sighed as Jake and two other guy walks behind her dad, Jake winked at Y/n. He placed a hand on the older man's shoulder and nods at Coyote before lifting him from the ground.
"It's great to see you Pete!" Penny yelled.
"I'll see you later, Do you want me to cook dinner?" Y/n said gathering her stuff.
"Great, I'll see you at home. Tell Amelia that I'll be home soon." Penny beamed, to Penny, Y/n feels like another daughter of her. She gives out a good advices, she showed up at her highschool graduation.
"See ya later." She waved bye at Penng on her way she heard someone playing the piano, causing her stop in mid tracks. He was playing their favourite song when they were little.
She look towards the piano to see her brother figure playing, Bradley who felt he was being watched glanced to his shoulder to his sister figure waving at him. She make a phone like on her hand mouthing call me before leaving the Hard Deck.
Y/n walks out to find her dad staring inside the Hard deck listening to the crowd singing along with Bradley who's playing Great Balls of Fire. He was quiet and looked pale.
"Dad, are you okay?" She asked him.
"No it's okay sweetie, I'm fine. Come on let's go home." Maverick said pulling her into a side hug.
