I was looking for these fics for purely record keeping purposes because I have an "ao3 wrapped" I've been working on since the beginning of 2024.

- “Jump Into Water” by chaos101
I had a download, but it got corrupted.

- "Ash Lynx Prequel Story"
Came out prior to 2020. I believe it was quite short.

- I'm also looking for 2 works that were a part of Honeyvalentine 's archived "works:3" collection. Specifically one that came out prior to December 30, 2020, and one that had 18 or more chapters.

No worries if this isn't enough to go on!

All of these were written some time prior to 2020. I have the title of 4/5 of these, and a shotty description, but unfortunately I don't have the author name or link for any of them. I was hoping to get access to these for basic record keeping purposes, I have an "ao3 wrapped" I've been working on since the start of 2024. No worries if the title isn't enough to go off of! (The descriptions are just in case there’s multiple fics of the same name.)

- "Don't Help Me, I'm Fine"
It was a modern AU Zukka fic, and according to a note I wrote about it from way back when, it included Zuko having a theory that Ozai killed Ursa(?)

- "Burning (Like a Phoenix)"
Modern AU. Zuko is gay, but I'm not sure if it was a Zukka fic.

- "The best kind of imperfect"
Maiko fic. Around 1000 words.

- “Divided We Fall”
Zutara fic.

- I don't have a name or anything for this last fic, it was unfinished but it had 18 or so chapters before it was deleted. It was a modern AU fic where Zuko and Azula were very young. Azula killed Ozai to protect Zuko after he got his scar from a burning pan and they were sent to live with Iroh in the earth kingdom. I think there was an emphasis on the in between of them going to a trial, meeting with some officers and stuff too. In some of the last chapters Hakoda, Katara and Sokka made an appearance. I think there was something about someone stalking them in the most recent chapter. The author also talked in the notes about english not being their first language. This one specifically I would really like to find because I remember it being one I would constantly check for updates. Sorry I don't have any info on it.

Every time the conversation of pads vs tampons comes up I feel a lil insane because nobody ever mentions using both at the same time.

I can’t only use tampons because I never notice when it’s full(?), and/or I can’t always run to the bathroom at the drop of a hat, so no doubt I would have leaks constantly.

I can’t only wear pads because I hate the feeling of a pad with blood in it, and/or I would be changing the pad too often because my flow would be too heavy, and again I would have problems with leaks.

Edit: plus! I don’t shave down there which I found also helps avoid leaks lmao, but I don’t like being covered in blood, and tampons prevent that from happening for the first day at least, and by the second day it doesn’t matter because I’ll take a shower and freshen up anyways.

If my flow is heavy enough to warrant a tampon, I’ll use one, and then have a pad to catch anything that leaks through. Then when I can, replace the tampon, but keep the pad if it has no more than a spot of blood.

Does nobody else do this? I feel like having a pad as back up to catch any leaks would be common? So, for the girlies who use tampons but no pads, how tf do you do it???
