Howdy howdy howdy!
I really don't have much to put up here. Name's sugarland, blah blah blah. Avatar's pretty much my obssession, in particular Zuko (that smexy beast!). Before you ask, I'll answer your question: Yes, I am a raving fangirl, how kind of you to notice.
I ship many couples, and my OTP seems to change on a daily basis. Favorites include Soko, Jinko, Maiko (new!), Zuki, Toko... XD about anyone who's not Katara...and Zuko. Additionally, much love goes out to Tokka, Sukka, Ursai, and much much more. As long as it's not Zutara, slash, incest, or just something completely ridiculous, chances are I'll like it.

Current Stories (in progress):
-Salvage: a drabbleseries, under Inkbending. Long story short, Hakoda and Bato fish Zuko out of the ocean one night, he pretends he isn't Fire Nation, and voi la!
-Mandate: my version of how the 100 years' war began. I just like to think there were some good reasons, and that it wasn't black and white 'Sozin was evil and wanted to pwn everyone'. It's sort of my baby right now.
-Heartshots: which I haven't updated in forever. In retrospect, probably not a very smart project for me to take on, as I have a notoriously short attention span with my ships (see above). We'll see what happens with that.
-Inkbending: drabble collection. Pretty simple right there.
Under Consideration/Future Fics:
In One Instance: a sort of what-if fic. What if, instead of Katara, Sokka had stayed behind in BSS during the season finale? A way for me to get rid of my irrestible urge for Zuko and Sokka to have some screen time together, as they're my two favorites. _
Choking (title tentative): post war, AU. They're the only two left... it may not be love, it may not be lust, but it's certainly something. Zutara, which I never believed I would even consider writing
Untitled: Modern AU. Sort of a police drama, Law and Order thing. Iroh's arrested for a murder he didn't commit, and Zuko's thrown off the force as a result.
Greyhound: I'm pretty sure this will never happen, but it was a passing fancy awhile ago. Basically modern AU, the AtLA characters end up on a bus going west together. Catastrophe strikes, blah blah blah...
I really, REALLY want to do a Tokko 1_sentence set sometime. coughNANTHIMUScough
