Hello to anyone reading this...This is the fiction journal of renagrrl7, AKA RenaGrrl on FF.net!

I decided to make a journal specific to my writing, as there are some things that I don't think my general friend list would be interested in, like my sporadic bouts of fanfic.

For the time being, I've only written stories about Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I'm planning on eventually infiltrating the other fandoms I love with my hastily written stories soon enough and sprinkling in some original fiction from time to time.

Here are links to my multi-chaptered fanfic on The Pit.

Title: College Daze

She took another sip of her triple espresso as she watched a tanned young man in a black Lincoln Navigator pull up to the apartment complex across the street from her. Topaz-colored eyes peeked over a paper cup as he put the car in park and placed his cell phone at his ear. Her fingers lightly tapped the leather steering wheel of her rented car as her eyes observed him.

In moments, a familiar figure strode out of the building. “Ah, Zuko, so is this your new ‘brother’? He’s cute, in a tough, American kind of way.” Her lips pursed as she took note of his profile. As soon as Zuko got in the car, the vehicle pulled away from the curb.

“I wonder if it’s considered incest if Zuko’s his older brother?” Azula considered before laughing at the thought. She started up the car and began tailing the SUV. She had been curious as to what her brother had been up to since leaving home.

Title: Overcast Skies
Word Count: 163
Note: Written for the all_unwritten prompt, "overcast skies."

( To most, overcast skies would portend of something darker and stormier on the horizon. )

( The festival had lasted long into the wee hours of the morning... )

Rating: PG-13/T (May move to R/M in later chapters)
Pairings: Sokka/everybody, (eventual) Zuko/Katara

Excerpt:
She appraised him under the streetlight. As he pulled another long drag from his cigarette, lips pursed, Zuko looked almost cool — like one of those gangsters in an old black-and-white movie. The shadows created by the streetlight momentarily hid his scar as he stood there staring off into the night. For a moment, Katara considered that he would have been devastatingly handsome had he not received the scar. But, in a way, it also suited him she thought. Shaking her head, she returned to her original train of thought.

Title: All in Love
Word Count: 149
Note: Written for the katara_zuko prompt, "We were all in love and we all got hurt." This was the first idea that came to mind when I eyed the prompt.

( She stood there over his lifeless body... )

Title: Meaningless Excuses
Word Count: 301
Note: Written for the katara_zuko prompt, "We were all in love and we all got hurt." This was actually the second idea that came to mind and is less dark than the original idea that came to mind.

( It was just another one of their clandestine meetings in the darkness of the temple. )

Title: The Future was Written
Word Count: 80
Note: Written for the prompt_a_day prompt, "the future was written."

( If the past was written on the temple's walls... )

Title: Signs
Word Count: 128
Note: Written for the all_unwritten prompt, "signs."

( How had she not noticed it sooner? )

Title: A Bitter Cold
Word Count: 91
Note: Written for the prompt_a_day prompt, "a bitter cold."

( A bitter cold enveloped her heart... )

Title: White
Word Count: 386
Note: Written for the all_unwritten prompt, "white." This is the first time I've written in the present tense. I think it went well.

( What's it like being blind? )

Title: All I Could Do
Word Count: 129
Note: This was written for the all_unwritten prompt, "all I could do."

( Did I do all I could do? )

Title: Silent Wilderness
Word Count: 41
Note: Written for all_unwritten prompt, "silent wilderness."

To anyone else, it may have seemed a vast silent wilderness-- but to her, a blind girl, it was a cacophony of sound. From the birds singing to the rustling of the breeze in the trees' leaves, it was nearly operatic.

Title: I want...
Word Count: 90
Note: This was written for today's prompt at all_unwritten, "I want..."

( What do you want? )

Title: Broken Promises
Word Count: 79

Title: Sleeping Snoozles

Note: Written for the Drabbles Challenge Game #1 by rashaka on avatar_fans. The prompt was: "Things were going well until koala-snakes woke up."
-----------------------------

( Sokka tossed and turned in his dream-filled sleep. )

Title: Only in Dreams
Word Count: 987
Note: Some time ago, I decided I wanted to write a songfic to "Only in Dreams," from Weezer's blue album, but I couldn't figure out how to make it "work." Of course, an idea came to me in the middle of writing chapter 12 of "College Daze," so I put it on the back burner until I could devote some time to it. I've been working on it for about a week now and am satisfied with the way it turned out.


( It was late—maybe midnight—Sokka thought to himself, glancing at the full moon above him. )

Title: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Word Count: 221 (not including poem excerpt)
Note: I wrote an Iroh-centric drabble for theavatar100 challenge this week. The prompt was "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," a poem by T.S. Eliot. The verse I chose (in italics below the cut) deals with the concept of time's role in our lives.

( There will be a time to murder and create )
