Father. Mother. by Knitpick, literature

Literature

Father. Mother.

Father Zuko's father had been more concerned with his own ambition than being close to his children. Prizing Azula for her genius, but not her self. Quick to disregard the worthless. A hot-blooded, angry sort of man. Katara's father had been bold and adventurous, hearty, good with stories. He built them up with kind words, and made sure that foundation would never fall. A warm, caring, laughing man. The sort you just loved. Watching Zuko tuck their children into bed, Katara smiled. He had the awkwardness of a childhood with one father, but there was no doubt which man he most resembled. Mother Zuko's mother had been gentle and warm, a ca

Your Turn by Knitpick, literature

Your Turn

Zuke rolled over in bed, wrapping one arm around his wife's bard abdomen, snuggling closer in the dark of the night. For someone who had grown up in the south pole, she was so warm… and comfortable… it was like being a little child again, hugging a favorite toy. He wouldn't have let go for the world… A raucous squall broke through the air, starting the Fire Lord from his bliss. Maybe if he stayed very, very quiet, maybe his son Koda would go back to sleep… Katara mumbled, half awake. "Your turn." Zuko groaned and buried his face in the nape of her neck. "Why me?" he whined. "I'm… I'm not dressed." "Neither am I," she retorted. "But I sa

Pretty

Katara sighed, leaning against one of the many stone columns, positively pouting as the dancers whirled about. Another day, another party. As much as she loved being an ambassador from the South Pole. It meant seeing Aang, who had taken to traveling with Toph and Appa, and Zuko, the new fire lord. It meant, in short, vacation time in the Fire nation. But what she hated was how every visit meant a party, and every party meant prettier-than-her fire nation girls swirling around the dance floor. It was annoying. "Are you enjoying yourself?" She glanced up at Zuko, prim and groomed as he always had to be in the public eye, and positively poute

The Cave by Knitpick, literature

The Cave

Zuko swore under his breath as the last vestiges of the torch flickered and died, casting them in complete darkness. "Katara?" he called instantly. No response. His heart skipped a beat. Oh no. Aang and Sokka, Toph and Uncle… they had all already disappeared in this vile cave. He couldn't bear to lose her, too. "I'm right here, Zuko," she replied calmly. "But don't light up; there are flammable gases in this chamber." "How do you know that?" Katara scoffed and rolled her eyes, grateful for the dark that hid the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. He was amusing when he was uncertain. "I can sense the water in this room," she expla

Pai Sho by Knitpick, literature

Literature

Pai Sho

Iroh slid the lotus tile across the board, glancing up at his nonexistent opponent. It didn't matter, of course, that he was playing by himself. This was more of a philosophical game than anything else. The wind, water drop, and candle tiles had all started on separate edges of the board. But one by one, they were inching nearer. Strategically, he broke off one of the water drop tiles and inched it nearer to the two candle tiles. Then, a candle tile broke off. When he had the two tiles next to each other, a loud crash in the other inn room interrupted his concentration. "GET AWAY FROM HER YOU FIRE NATION SCUM!" "Sokka, this is none of yo

The Dance by Knitpick, literature

Literature

The Dance

The Dance Oh yeah. He was wrapped. And not just up in the loose-flowing sleeves of her dress, that tangled around his waist as they swirled around the dance floor, a blue-red wave of motion. No, he was wrapped around everything and anything she wanted. And worst, he didn't mind. "How many silly dances are you going to make me come to," she sighed, stepping gracefully into a spin. Zuko pulled her close to his chest, his hand slipping into her lower back as the warmth from their bodies melted together. "Until you agree to be Fire Lady and make me stop." He smirked down at her, and she pursed her lips. She thought he was kidding. She

Dreamboy by Knitpick, literature

Dreamboy

Dreamboy, I dreamed of you last night. I never really got a good look at your face, but I knew it was handsome. Even if someone else disagreed, I knew it. You were taller than me. Stronger, more muscular. I never really thought I'd be attracted to the big, strong teddy-bear types. They reminded me too much of stereotypical football players, jocks, meatheads. You could have been one in that dream, for all I remember you were one, but I didn't care. It just meant more of you to hold. We were such a contrast, you and I. You were so tall, yet you didn't try to accentuate it. Your features were firm, strong to me. Then there was me. S

For the past two months, I've been rehearsing with the Texas Renaissance Festival, and I kept saying to myself "NO WAY am I going to survive a single weekend.  I'm too reserved, too heat-sensitive, and I space out too much on a regular basis, not mentioning a place with distractions everywhere!" I am happy to say that I not only played with patrons and evaded heat sickness, I almost (not really) managed to not make myself look like a noobish fool who missed the first day. But in all seriousness, it was amazing.  There are few times I have appreciated water more, and fewer times I have smiled for so long my cheeks literally ached.  I could g

Just because there's a dish on the soap does not mean you put it in the dishwasher. Trust me.

Art

Back before I got back on Deviantart, I was smugly proud of the artistic skills I learned from Aaron Romo at Oni-Con.  So proud, in fact, that I forgot that I had been essentially neglecting art for nearly a year, and was only just learning the real basics.  Being back on deviantart has really reminded me of just how far I need to go to achieve.  I never considered the importance of shading, coloring, and proportion between multiple characters in an art piece before. I feel a little left behind compared to so many here on devart, but I guess it's due to my previously stubborn will to NOT learn what I needed to at the time.  I'm excited, thou
