Title: Ficlet: More Than Words Can Wield
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Katara
Pairing(s): Katara/Aang
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 500
Warnings: Set post-series, but since I haven't seen the finale, I'm only guessing about who survives it.
A/N: If I shipped any pairing in this fandom it would be Iroh/jasmine tea, but when an older (twenty-something?) Aang popped up in my imagination to tell Katara that she was his first love, I found myself wondering what she would say to that, given their history. Crossposted from [livejournal.com profile] nebroadwe to [livejournal.com profile] avatar_fans, [livejournal.com profile] aangxkatara and [livejournal.com profile] avatarfic.
Dedication: For [livejournal.com profile] artemisrae, who helped prod me into this fandom and is now another year older. Many happy returns!



From her wild hair he teases one dark tress
And loops it up beside her seal-brown cheek,
And, smiling, "You were my first love," he says,
And kisses her, and waits for her to speak --

Coolest Olympic moment thus far, from an American perspective, that you probably haven't seen:
U.S. Women's Saber Team Sweeps Medals
Given that their victory did not come out of nowhere (this would be Mariel Zagunis's second Olympic gold and Sada Jacobson adds a silver to her 2004 bronze, not to mention that their teammate Rebecca Ward is a world champion), it's a crying shame it isn't making primetime on NBC's broadcast. Maybe we could see some of the team saber competition, o network moguls? Because fencing totally rocks?

ETA: An interview with the saber-wielding U.S. women takes place just before midnight. Yawn. I'd rather see 'em in action. Go team!
