thelittlebangTitle: Long Drive Home (Not Much of a Girlfriend)
Author:damkianna
Fandom: Avatar (2009).
Pairings: Trudy/Grace.
Characters: Trudy Chacon, Grace Augustine, ensemble, original characters.
Rating: PGish? Some violence, not terribly explicit, and a little kissing. Lots and lots of swearing.
Warnings: Some of the violence is directed toward children; depictions of racism and ableism. Nothing particularly worse than the movie.
Spoilers: For the entire movie, though the AU elements change the second half a lot.
Betas:idriya, and my usernameless but awesome mother.
Summary: Grace first meets Trudy Chacon on a shit day. "Everyone thinks they're dating" cliché fic + I accidentally another movie rewrite = 75% grouchy pining, 0% porn, and significant AU elements starting about halfway through.
Artist:oparu
Artwork:[To be linked!] Long Drive Home (Not Much of a Girlfriend) and it is beautiful, thank you so much, oparu!
Author's Notes: There are a few scenes in here (Trudy in the Samson at Hometree, Grace and co. breaking out of the brig, etc.) that are essentially right out of the movie, with minimal changes to dialogue - but only a few, I promise. Because I used the quasi-canonical school backstory the first time I rewrote this movie, I let myself get a little more inventive with the details this time, though the general drift is similar. The Omatikaya loom is Survival-Guide canon, but a bunch of the other worldbuilding is made up - feel free to ask if there's anything in particular you'd like to know the provenance of. The Kreyòl Ayisyen phrase Bisset uses near the end translates literally as "Every day isn't Sunday" - i.e., not every day can be Sunday (you can't be lucky all the time). Title is from the lyrics to Gym Class Heroes's "Cupid's Chokehold".
The very earliest beginnings of this story owe their existence tosuch_heights's Female Character Trope Fest - specifically, to ashen_key's request for a Trudy/Grace "everyone thinks they're dating" fic. The idea hung around long enough to get some new life breathed into it by this challenge, and here it is, a change of seasons and 34,000 words later, with my second AU of the movie tacked on the back. Oops.
