Summary: The last thought he has before everything goes black is, Shit. An AU of the movie, wherein the Avatar Program never existed. [Warning: some in-character ableism.]
There it is, in all its excessive glory. One day, I will write a short, canon-compliant fic in which there are no OCs. But that is not this day. [/Aragorn] Oh, I wibbled so much over this thing - the amount of time I spent on the movie wiki, scrolling up and down through the script draft on IMSDb, and going back toxenakis's Dear Author letter/movie reaction post is truly ridiculous. But I LOVE taking things apart and putting them back together the way I want them to be, no Least Common Skin Tone or What These People Need Is a Honky or any of that bullshit, and, as always, WITH MOAR LADIES. WHO ALL LIVE, by the by.
So I owexenakis big time for giving me the opportunity to do that in a way that makes it look less selfish. :D I only wish I had procrastinated a bit less when it came time to finish up, so that it could have been a bit longer; and I've already edited it like ten times for formatting, typos, and small mistakes that needed fixing. D: And the response has been just AMAZING - so many absolutely lovely comments, and I just about fainted when I saw it get recced! And now, at last, I can actually reply to the comments! :D I will repost it over here with more extensive notes sometime next week, when I am a little more organized in my brain.
