you're so pretty in the city where you're nothing to anyone

Give me an interesting word, a canon, and (if you like) a character. I'll write you a ficlet.

(I guarantee to fill the first five prompts, after that I will still do my best but historically I fail a lot.)

are we allowed to do this more than once? cause: white collar, Etruscan.

[frith_in_thorns]

You're totally allowed to! You are at the back of the queue, though, as I'm trying to write a ficlet for everyone :)

There are no trees at the South Pole.

Katara can still perfectly recall the first one she ever saw; a gnarled, stumpy thing clinging to a cliff at the edge of the sea. Worn and weathered by the wind-flung salt. Still, it instantly arrested her, and she would have called for Appa to stop - except that the next moment they had cleared the cliff top and there were more trees, their branches stretching towards her like a greeting. She had always heard that the lands to the north were filled with green and growing things, but she had never understood the reality. She was transfixed, and so was Sokka, while Aang beamed at them both in delight

eeeee! :D This is really lovely; I love these sorts of glimpses at characters' pasts informing what they know and understand, and Aang's gentle response is perfectly him.
