    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.

    Summary

    She watches them suspiciously. Sokka and Zuko walk side by side—and then suddenly Sokka smiles slightly, leans toward Zuko and says something to him in a hushed tone—and then Zuko smiles back at him.

    Their strange encounter in the clearing, how Sokka was willing to defend Zuko, the fact that they hugged...

    Sweet Tui and La, Katara suddenly realizes. He’s not just infiltrating the group — he’s flirting. With Sokka.

    Or: In which the years-long friendship between Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko looks a lot like romance to 14-year-old Katara.

    Alternatively: Five times Katara misunderstood Sokka and Zuko’s relationship, and one time the boys tried to clear things up.

    Summary

    Akira never volunteered to be team mom to Haise and the Quinx. She never wanted to be gal pals with that barista he was making eyes at, either. And, above all, she never signed up to be an iconoclast with a role in bringing down the CCG. You know what they say about best laid plans, though.

    An AU retelling of TG:re.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Drags a bit forwards the end, but the majority of it is pretty satisfying.

    Summary

    Amon had never known Jason to take human prisoners, but as he was dragged into a checkered room with only a chair and a battered boy bound to it, he soon found himself as an exception. Kaneki wasn't well, his mind broken under Jason's relentless torture, but beneath it all, Amon couldn't help but admire him. It was his quiet strength and selflessness which Jason weaponized against Kaneki.

    Yet when faced with the reality of what Kaneki was, Amon couldn't help but question everything he believed in. Ghouls didn't cry and they didn't take pain in the place of others.

    There was something different about Kaneki. Something Amon had to find out for himself.
