The government takes away all rights to music, raids homes for CDs and music files on computers, destroys all musical instruments, essentially erasing music. It's forbidden by law to create music or musical instruments, punishable by death. What lengths would people go to in order to recreate that beloved feeling music brings to the soul? Who would be brave enough to stand up to the law, knowing they'd be put to death, to achieve that feeling?

The Thief |Sokka
Long ago, the four Nations lived together in harmony. Then the Fire Nation attacked. The world was about to change forever and for the airbenders, there would be no coming back. A hundred years after the war, all airbenders save for the Avatar are thought to be dead. But in one of the numerous cells of the Boiling Rock a young airbender named Jaya resides, keeping her identity a secret from all. A thief, a killer. A failure of an airbender. Fate plays a curious game, though, and even the most worthless of people may come to have a second chance. In Jaya's case, it all comes down to one question; how many good deeds are needed until she truly feels she's lived up to her ancestry?

How will the world react to finding out what they did to the subjects? What will the publics opinion be when they find out that it was all voluntary?

Under the Influence ✔
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that drives down the interstate and imagines what it would be like to steer just a little to the right and crash through the guardrails or drive off the side of a cliff, maybe hit a tree or two while going eighty miles per hour. Am I the only one that wants to know what it would be like to feel the sting of glass shattering from the windshield and cutting into your skin, blood trickling down your face and the copper taste hitting your lips. Would I scream? Would I try to escape and call for help or would I stay frozen in place? I wonder if anyone would really even miss me, would the world be different in any way? My work would have to find someone to work the night shift, someone would have to clear out my apartment so that a new tenant can move in, my mom and dad would have to pretend to be torn apart over the lose of their eldest daughter. I don't think much would change, I have no real significance in this world. I don't think any of my friends would be too terribly distraught over it, it's not as if there's anyone I talk to on a regular basis anyway. I push down on the accelerator, watching as the speedometer hits one hundred and I check my mirrors for cops, smiling to myself when I see that I'm the only car on the road at this hour. I turn up my radio and drive the familiar roads way too fast, sometimes swerving between the lines, unable to hear anything but the music vibrating throughout the entire car.Complete
The New American Dream
"I see the world and it seems like I see it so differently than most other people. It makes me really angry most of the time. Especially since no one ever listens to me or what I've got to say. I try to express myself in so many different ways and no one sees it. When I sing a song people will only care about how the music sounds or how much I swore. If I paint, people will see the picture but not the meaning. It seems so obvious to me but everyone just seems to... close their eyes. Or at least shut off their brain. As if I see things they don't. But when they don't listen, how can I communicate that to them? It's so frustrating." Allie is a high school student and has big plans to make the world a better place. But her own head is pitting against her, throwing rocks in her path on a daily basis. Everything seems to be great for a while but what happens when her world suddenly comes crashing down around her? Can she ever recover? A coming-of-age story that deals with mental ilnesses, grief, first loves and family, briefly taps into the subject of religion and will likely enrapture you. Trigger warning: mental illnesses, self harm, death, dealing with grief, mentions of guns and gun control, mentions of cults, mentions of homophobia, dissociation. Names of bands, band members and song titles have been changed but at this point I want to credit mainly Palaye Royale, the band 'Homesick Soldiers' that is mentioned throughout is heavily based off them, but I'm sure if you're familiar with them you would have been able to tell that :)Complete

Zutara- Whats Love without Tragedy (Lemon)
My arm still wrapped around her neck as I squeezed tightly. My body released my seed deep inside her. Softening up my grip I heard Katara's panting body as mine did the same. "Just admit you stole it... and I could stop tomorrow," I whispered in her ear. "Just do it," I asked almost threatening to form tears myself. This is not what I wanted. I didn't wish for her to be humiliated in front of my court. ************************************** After Katara is separated from her brother, she finds herself wandering alone in the unforgiving adult world, and soon to the Fire Nation Capital. After consistently finding trouble she is held captive, cut off from any news circulating in the world, before she is sold off to another unfortunate future the spirits could only tell you about. Shortly after Katara finds herself being presented to the new Fire Lord, Fire Lord Zuko. Tempted by the simple sight of her, Zuko cannot decide if he should let her go or keep her locked away forever. Our story takes place from the "Crossroads of Destiny" episode. While you may notice some key/similar parts, moving forward from this point in the show everything has been set on a new path.Complete
