Your Random Unfilled Request Of The Day:

Recipient: greenspine
Request: The Backyardigans (Any)
Details: I love to be surprised, so anything goes - including freaky kinky multi-character orgies if you're inclined that way. Maybe they all pretend to be prostitutes? Drug dealers?

This could be an outtake or extension of an existing episode, like the Volcano Sisters or Surfer Pablo, or a new adventure completely. Austin's my favorite Backyardigan, so I'd like him included in some way, if possible. Extra bonus points for actual songs. :)

Title: Vital Signs
Fandom Avatar: the Last Airbender
Rating: K+?
Word Count: 1,160
Summary: Aang thinks he can fix the Avatar Cycle. Hopefully the idea isn't as crazy as it sounds in his head.

Other: Post-series. No explicit spoilers past Day of the Black Sun, assumes the Gaang wins the war. Although I have watched through past The Boiling Rock, and that might have colored the story to a degree.

Light Aang/Katara shippyness.

( They’d needed every single last cracked road tile. )
