Very good sentences! Don't worry about writer's block; I get it all the time. That's why I started taking requests, so I could get ideas for more stories. Sometimes listening to songs help; esp. the ones that symbolize Avatar pairings if you listen to the lyrics. (And I write lots of song fics as well; those are a lot of fun to do! ;D)

Hmm my dream Maiko fic...I dunno I need some time to think. As for the person who asked about tips about writing a fluffy Maiko story. Well it depends on when it takes place. If it takes place when Mai, Zuko and the gang were all kids I generally like it to have a lighter feel you know cute and stuff, too much angst ruins the little kid setting. And as for present time stuff hmm well I guess this applies to chibi setting too but try to keep things in character sure Mai likes Zuko but she isn't going to drop her whole personality. At least not entirely. And Zuko isn't going to be Mr. Nice Guy just because he finds himself liking Mai. Well that's all I got.

Thanks! I hoped I help you think of some ideas...... And Most definitely! I'll keep them in mind. (And I'm going to rewatch Zuko Alone again to see if I get any more ideas from that as well) And I'll make sure to show you all the drable or drabbles when I'm done with it/them.

Here's one; though its kind of vague and open-ended. It's a vague kind of Maiko, but its still there. (I'm going to do more drabbles; this is just the first)
The soft wind whipped her ebony hair into her face. Images flooded her mind, things of the past. Colors flitted in and out as the images blurred, becoming one. The faces of people churned around her, spinning and changing, one face becoming another. Their faces appeared. She reached out for them, only for the images to disappear in the wind and float away. She sighed. Things were never holding, always changing. They flew past her before she could hold on to them. It was as if she was trapped in an impenetrable glass box, unable to do anything but watch as time rushed by right in front of her. But for a moment, there was a stillness, a calm in the winds. A chance for change, a time for choice, a decision to be made. Time for her to grip hold of her life and regain control of it. She had hesitated; for things like that always seem to slip through her fingertips the instant she tried to grab them. Time and time again had proven that. But this betrayal could not be forgotten. And now here she was, watching the images of the past float past right in front of her, drowning her in their depths. Adrenaline suddenly coursed through her veins and she felt the power to change. To change everything. For too long she had sat by and watched the time go by. It was now or never. Voices crowded her thoughts and she was brought back to reality. She was staring into the eyes of a person, staring straight into their depths. She was looking at one who had known loss, had dealt with grief and the feeling of helplessness. A person much like herself. Maybe it was his golden eyes that called to her. Or maybe, just maybe it was something about him, something about the essence of him that stirred something in her, something that had been dormant for too long. But that didn’t matter much longer, for suddenly, with utmost certainty and clarity, her decision was made. Words were not needed, but they came anyway, tumbling and spilling from her mouth. She realized that her hesitancy for change was what had been holding back the whole time. Of what would come if she chose to do something different and out of the ordinary for once. For she knew that once the decision was made, there was no turning back. But for once, she welcomed the change. And she knew at that moment that her life had truly begun.
So, what did you think? It was kind of out there thing; but it sounded pretty cool to me when I wrote it. (I'm deep like that, lol)
