Well hello again AGAIN, friends.

I've been gone for three years, and I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BELIEVE that my stories (particularly Confused, let's be honest) are still getting such traffic after so long an absence! This truly humbles me. I'm finding fanart in my private messages I never knew you made, messages for new content, and I just...I can't believe it.

So here we go. I'm gonna try to dust off the cobwebs and try this thing again. I will also be publishing under another name on AO3, thispieceofwork, so if you see old things popping up in new places, don't worry, it's still me! (Speaking of which, if you're hankering for some HP Draco/Ginny feels from my MUCH earlier years, head on over to of-ferrets-and-weaselettes for some angsty goodness).

I've wanted to get back into writing for the past year or so, but for one reason or another I haven't been able to find the time or the inspiration. Well, you dear ones, have become that inspiration. I felt content with where I left my Zutara feels after Confused, but I'm interested in re-exploring these relationships and characters in some fun new ways.

Below are the projects I was considering before I left. I would love to hear from you as for ideas as well, so please, PM me! I promise to pay attention this time, and I could honestly use some new inspiration.

Possible projects:

Raising Kya

A tentative title for the next installment in the Confused series, for lack of a better term. I wanted to start a new story because the title just doesn't work for where they are anymore. 5 years into their marriage, you'd best believe they aren't Confused anymore. But this will be the same plot line I've developed in Confused, so for any fans of the story, be sure to check this one out when I find time to write it!

Having Your Cake

Tentative title, an M rated one-shot that might be a bit controversial because it involves sustained infidenlity, but it's helping me work through my Zutara feels in relation to LoK.

Somewhat inspired by this comic:

Possible AU Fic

I've never been a fan of AU fiction myself, nor have I written any, but working on my story Confused has given me all kids of ideas. In Ch. 8 of that story, we find out that Katara and Zuko have a strong spirit bond that Aang can sense. Aang believes that if he hadn't run away, they still would've found each other. And then all of my ideas ran away with me. So who knows? Maybe I do this, too.
