So I’ve been wanting to do my own twist on the Kathy Interview for YEARS, and I finally did it. Also did you guys know that Kevin turned down the choice to wear suspenders and I am upset.
i like to think andrew is the type of person to get hyper fixated on things that his friends talk about. It could be smth trivial like a tidbit about a classmate or a full on hobby like chorcteing but the moment he deems you as “his” he’ll go out of his way to learn everything to know about that topic.
eg, renee is obsessed with floriography and botany in general and the moment andrew found out, he borrows all the books he can find on the topic just to talk to renee about it
Even aaron. He takes the time to rmb all of aaron’s basic lessons on his classes. Endospore formation for microbiology?? ask andrew. Virus infection cycles and sites?? andrew knows them all
With nicky a lot of the time andrew tries to stay as far away as possible cause he’s annoying but everytime he hears nicky mentioning a certain type of softener or pipe cleaner, he’ll research the fuck out of them and drop little insights on their cost or effectiveness
With kevin, it helps that andrew has an eidetic memory because he reads up on all the different types of wars, revolutions and adaments just to give kevin someone to talk to
On the rare instances that andrew and allison “bond” they fit so well because andrew listens and may attentions to the products allison uses and duh allison uses fucking amazing products?? u bet ur ass andrew has the exact same ones to match allison
kevin, sobbing: my left hand is broken
medicated andrew: did you try putting it in rice
deadpan aaron: have you tries turning it off and on again?
I know a lot of AUs of AftG/TFC have been done in the Avatar universe, but has anyone done an Avatar: the Last Airbender AU?
Kevin, the Avatar has been missing for 100 years, before he is unwittingly discovered inside an iceberg by estranged waterbender twins Aaron and Andrew and their nonbending cousin Nicky who live in the Southern Water Tribe. (Aaron and Andrew do not give me waterbender vibes, but changing the nations didn’t work that well, since either their trips would end up way shorter or the Air Nomads would be the world invaders. Which, no. Oh well, Aaron wants to heal people.) They find out he is the Avatar and reluctantly agree to accompany him to the Northern Water Tribe to learn waterbending. Along the way, they find out the exiled fire nation Prince Nathaniel is hunting the Avatar, in order to regain his honor. He is traveling alongside former General David Wymack, a taciturn man who nonetheless tries to guide and help his ward.
Along the way, they meet some interesting people and new friends including Roland, the leader of the Freedom Fighters, Dan, a young earthbender who Kevin helped break out of prison, and Erik, who leads the Kyoshi Warriors, and also encounter new enemies, including Commander Tetsuji of the Fire Nation. Once they get to the Northern Water Tribe, they meet the waterbending master Chuck. Initially, he wants to make Aaron go into warrior training instead of healing, as he wishes, due to the fact that male waterbenders are drafted to fight. But after a beatdown from Aaron, the Healing master Abby, and the fighting master Betsy (women fight here, they have an option but men have to) he agrees to let Aaron train as a healer. Andrew learns how to fight alongside Avatar Kevin. The Fire Nation invades, Kevin is briefly captured by Prince Nathaniel who Andrew defeats in a few seconds flat, and Commander Tetsuji tries to kill the Moon and is dragged into the Spirit World. Goodbye and good riddance to him.
So, next stop is the Earth Kingdom, where they look for an earthbending master. Eventually they find Katelyn, a young earthbending prodigy who was blinded in an accident as a child, and is therefore overly sheltered by her parents and sneaks out to fight in the Earth Rumbles. She travels with them to teach Kevin earthbending, and despite her disagreements with Kevin and Andrew (Aaron is immediately rather taken with her), she becomes a part of their group. They find out they have a new pursuer, the Crown Prince Riko of the Fire Nation and his two close nonbending friends, Jeremy, a cheerful chi blocker, and Jean, an apathetic swordsman (Knives will be Neil’s thing). Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Wymack end up pursued by Riko as traitors, and are forced to go incognito in the Earth Kingdom, taking on the names Kyle (idk, in honor of Kayleigh, okay?) and Neil Josten.
Their paths cross in Ba Sing Se when they meet the conniving leader of the Dai Li, Proust. They tangle with the Dai Li and the incognito Prince Riko who is disguised as Erik, who recently rekindled a romance with Nicky on their way across the Serpent’s Pass and was captured shortly after. After Nathaniel and Andrew are captured and thrown into the catacombs together, they talk, during which time Nathaniel expresses remorse for the suffering and personal trauma the Fire Nation inflicted on Andrew. He in turn, reveals that he is only after Kevin due to fear of what his father, Firelord Nathan, would inflict upon both him and Kevin’s group if he doesn’t obey, saying that while he is attemoting to capture Kevin to prove himself worth keeping alive, he is also trying to keep Kevin and the team out of his father’s hands. Andrew tells him to “stop being a martyr”. However, after they are freed and encounter Riko and Wymack in the catacombs, Nathaniel appears to change his mind and joins Riko in fighting Andrew, Kevin, and Aaron. Wymack surrenders himself in order to let the others escape. Riko mangles Kevin’s left hand and almost kills him but Aaron manages to heal him and Andrew promises to protect him.
The Monsters regroup incognito in the Fire Nation to wait for the Day of Black Sun invasion. The invasion day arrives and everything seems to be going as planned until Kevin, Aaron, Nicky, and Katelyn encounter Riko in the throne room instead of Nathan. Nathaniel confronts his father and escapes to join the Monsters and most of their allies end up captured, though their old Freedom Fighting friends Matt and Allison and the earthbender Dan escape with them. They arrive at the Western Air Temple to recuperate and attempt to think of a new Firebending teacher for Kevin. Nathaniel, who now goes full time as Neil Josten, arrives and offers to help. He is immediately scorned by Kevin and mocked by Aaron and Andrew. However, when the assassin Gorilla (sent by Riko) arrives to kill the Monsters, Neil saves them and they reluctantly accept him. He warms up to the group members one by one, helping Nicky break Erik out of the Boiling Rock and helping Aaron hunt down and kill his brother’s former tormentor Drake. While at the Boiling Rock, Jean makes a split second decision to save Neil, who he used to be close friends with, and Jeremy jumps in to help, resulting in their capture. After their “field trips”, Neil tentatively earns Andrew’s intrigue and Aaron’s reluctant acceptance.
The comet arrives and Kevin goes missing. The rest of the monsters find their old mentors including Betsy and Abby, and Neil discovers Wymack as well. They reconcile and he advises them about what to do next. As the comet approaches, Aaron, Katelyn, Nicky, and Erik travel to the airship base to hopefully meet up with Kevin as he confronts Firelord Nathan. Neil and Andrew travel to the Fire Nation to confront Riko. After an extended, tough battle, when all hope seems gone, Kevin manages to hit Nathan, momentarily incapacitating him enough to kill him. Riko challenges Neil to an Agni Kai which he accepts. He is winning until Riko aims lightning at Andrew instead and Neil dives in front of him. Andrew fights Riko and manages to chain him and smash his arm. As a result, he has a psychotic break and kills himself. Andrew heals Neil and yells at him for making himself a martyr. Neil says that he wouldn’t have done anything that might result in losing Andrew. He so explains that if he had turned on Riko in the catacombs, he would have been exposed, and his father would have stopped at nothing to break him, including torturing the Monsters. Andrew appears to accept the explanation.
And we know the rest: Kevin is crowned Firelord, and he, Jean and Jeremy, figure out where to go from there. Aaron travels home with Katelyn, Andrew stays to protect Kevin, and Neil stays with him, and Nicky and Erik leave to travel the world. Dan and Matt, and Allison and Renee get together and return home as well. And they live, not happily ever after, but something approaching it.
P.S. a few years later, Kevin goes on a search for his mother Kayleigh.
Not to be dramatic or anything but I finished ALL FOR THE GAME trilogy and now I don’t know what to do or how to feel.
- Do I wanna Cry
- Re-read it
- Or just lay down and question my existence and inability to savor a good book
HELP!!!
P.S I WOULD DIE FOR NEIL ABRAM JOSTEN
kevin day !!!
none of the female Foxes went pro? fuck that, you know what, they all did. Dan worked her ass off to another captainship and now she forces the coach to consider as many female prospects as he does male. Allison purposefully got into a fight the game before a photoshoot and showed up to the studio with two black eyes and her arm in a sling because fuck them, they hired an athlete and that’s what they’re getting. Renee donates most of her money to various religious charities and a video of her facial shift from sweet ‘n’ happy to “you might want to reconsider what you said about my teammate” becomes a meme. At leastone of them makes US Court
They all become best friends with Thea and the four of them praise each other in interviews whenever the media tries to drum up drama between them, and go out for coffee dates where they roast their teammates and make fun of people trying to gal-pal away the newest pics of Renee and Allison kissing. fight me nora in the pit
