A/N: This is a series of oneshots about OCs that my friend Ally ( avatard000 dot deviantart dot com/ (replace "dot"s with ".")) made. Each chapter will be a separate story, occasionally I'll have some stories that run multiple chapters. For several chapters there will be a pic accompanying the story. I'll link to it before the story starts.

Some background info on the OCs before I get to the first story: Ari is the first Air Nomad Avatar after Aang. Katsu is her waterbending teacher and love interest, Taka is her earthebending teacher, Kaine is her firebending teacher. They're traveling so Ari can see the world and learn the elements.

One more note: not all of the fics are going to have a parallel story. They'll all have the same basic structure which I outlined above, but some details may change from story to story. In addition the (mostly) one-shot chapters will jump around in time.

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I also don't own the OCs, Ally does.


This story goes with: avatard000 dot deviantart dot com/art/quot-Anything-for-You-quot-158033912 (replace "dot"s with ".")

It takes place several years after Ari's journey with the whole group.


#1: Anything for You

"I'm really glad we came back here Katsu."

"Anything for you Ari." Ari and Katsu were walking hand in hand past the entrance into the Western Air Temple.

"I know you really wanted to visit everyone back at the Northern Water Tribe, but I just wanted to come back here agai.." Ari said extremely fast, only stopping when Katsu cut her off.

"Seriously Ari, it's not a big deal. And you know I'd do anything for you," Katsu said tightening his grip on Ari's hand.

"Thanks Katsu," Ari said softly before hugging him. They looked into each other's eyes briefly before blushing and returning to just holding hands. Ari and Katsu had been going out for a while now, but every day together for them felt like the first.

"Wow, I barely remember any of this place," Ari said as they passed by the first building.

"Well you were only here for a couple years," Katsu said. They pretty much knew everything about each other now. One of the most important things Katsu learned about Ari was her upbringing. It had been about 300 years since Fire Lord Sozin had wiped out the Airbenders, and their numbers were coming back, but very slowly. There were only about 100 Airbenders in existence right now, and each one had been born from a multi-bender couple. The Air Temples were still unpopulated, but some couples with an Airbender parent came to one of the Temples to raise their child for a few years, usually with a few other couples. Ari's parents had raised her at the Western Air Temple until she was about three.

"It's really beautiful here," Katsu commented as they passed by another building. This one must have been important, it was double the size of the others.

"Yeah," Ari said dreamily as they stopped in front of the large building. She leaned into Katsu and he moved his hand from her's to around her shoulder. They stood in silence and watched the sunset behind the building for a few minutes.

Katsu looked over at Ari and saw a tear start to form in her eye. He could tell she wasn't upset; he cocked his head slightly. Anyone else wouldn't have noticed, but Ari knew Katsu too well, and saw it out of the corner of her eye.

"I was just thinking how great it'd be to stay here for more than a day. I never got to experience much of my culture," Ari said, simultaneously grinning and wiping the tear back.

"Why don't we come back and stay here?" Katsu said. They were facing each other now.

"When?"

"Well, maybe after we get married," Katsu replied, looking down now and blushing.

Ari blushed too. They hadn't talked much about their future together. All that was understood between them was that they'd be together somehow.

"I'd really like that, Katsu," Ari said smiling and looking up at Katsu. They stayed staring at each other for a few moments.

"Thanks," Air said simply.

"For what?"

"..For always thinking of me. You didn't have to offer to live here, I know you'd much rather live back home with your tribe."

"Ari, I'd rather do whatever makes you the happiest. You're the most important thing in my life."

A huge grin came over Ari. She could just feel the care resonating from him.

They moved in almost at the same time. Ari's head tilted up and her arms went around Katsu's neck. Katsu put his arms around Ari's back. They stayed together for what seemed like hours. The sun set behind them. Not another thing crossed their minds other than the feel, the warmth, the essence of the other. When they finally did break apart the sun had just about set. Ari looked into Katsu's eyes and thought what an amazing future they had ahead of them.
