Full Metal Bitch Prompt Mini-Meme

[lavanya_six]

So I've hit a bit of a dry spell in my writing. NaNoWriMo (i.e. the rest of Full Metal Bitch) has petered out these past few days due to plotting issues and my complete inability to construct a decent fight scene. As a way to get me back into things, I'm going to throw FMB to the wolves the masses as a way of getting used to writing it again.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the fic, Full Metal Bitch is an in-progress AtLA Alternative Universe fic based on one simple change -- When the Gaang encounter Toph in Season Two, she is not twelve, but twenty-two.

RULES

1. Each commentator can submit up to THREE PROMPTS, of which I will pick ONE to fill. Note: You must be signed in to receive a fill. No anonymous requests. 

2. All prompts must be set in the FMB!Verse.

3. In addition to writing "missing scenes" from Full Metal Bitch, I'll also do AUs to the fic if requested. Please remember that the more specific/complex your request, the harder it will be for me to write and thus the less likely I am to fill it. 

4. Please do not request anything set at any point in Season 2 between episode 2x07 ("Zuko Alone") and episode 2x20 ("The Crossroads of Destiny") All that will eventually be covered in the actual fic itself. 


Requests Made: 4/5
Requests Filled: 3/4

The World of Broken Glass [6/14] - Toph

[lavanyasix.livejournal.com]

"Master Bei Fong, my name is Sokka, and I wish to be instructed in the way of the sword."

Had she been a seeing person, Toph would have blinked in shocked. Instead she just shouted, "What the--?! What are you doing in my bedroom?"

The man prostrating himself before her said, "I, uh, already said--"

"The walls are solid steel! It's an underground bunker with no door!"

"Oh. That." He shrugged. "Small controlled demolitions. I thought the lingering smell of blasting jelly would've given that away."

Toph was at a loss for several seconds. "Okay. First? I'm firing my house guard because WHAT THE FUCK?! Blasting jelly goes off under their feet and they don't know it?!"

"Small controlled demolitions. Like, teeny-tiny boom booms."

"Second, I'm going to kick your ass for trespassing!"

"Wh-what?!"

Toph tapped her upper lip. "Wait. You're right. I should kick your ass first and then fire my guards. Gotta prioritize."

"B-but this was the only way I could talk with you! Your guards turned me away at the outer perimeter!"

"So you broke into my bedroom?! How'd you even do that?!" Because he probably wasn't an earthbender, judging by all the whale bone weapons he had strapped on. The vibrations of that Water Tribe crap were unmistakable.

"Oh, no digging. I just stole a delivery man's uniform, walked in through the front door, and then burned a hole through the floor of a storage room down into this place."

Toph reached out with her senses. Sure enough, the ceiling had a man-sized hole that had been knocked out. "...all right, that deserves a drink."

"And no ass kicking?" Sokka asked hopefully.

"We'll see."
