The longer its been since I watched the Legend of Korra the more some parts that I didn't question when I was younger annoy me. Two things that stand out for me the most would be Raava and Vaatu being Good and Evil and the Equalists in season one being destroyed as an ideology without Korra...

Massive extraterrestrial craft descended upon the Earth, millions of bizarre life-forms and an army of bizarre machines conquered the world and reshaped entire continents, and then simply pulled out after nearly twenty-five years of resistance and rebellion...

Hey, there. I'm BNSF1995, a newcomer around these parts. I first heard of Sufficient Velocity while reading about Strypgia's Neon Genesis Evangelion stories on TV Tropes, namely A Crown of Stars and Advice & Trust. Now I have made the decision to create a story here. Not really a story, more...

So, huzzah, my meds are kicking in for the good stuff and I'm finally able to write again. Cross posting here because while co-author and I are both on AO3, only I'm on these forums. Seriously, read the prologue first. Somehow I finally have the spellslots to crosspost. No, I don't know why...

"So, they finally have a pick then?" Cyril asked, looking up from his book - Rykall couldn't read the title, the lettering and the language were nothing like Tamildan. Knowing the archmage, it could be an old book from some ancient time before modernity, or it could be some tome from a distant...
