    Summary

    Until the day Sokka died, he knew he'd remember the cool gaze of the leopard-caribou as she looked upon him in his bank of snow. It hadn't been a malicious look, just a calculating one. She needed a meal, and she cared no more whether or not he was afraid than he’d cared whether the seal his father brought back from the beach in spring had felt fear before it died.

     

    The stranger in the water had eyes like that now.

     

    Sokka finds himself shipwrecked, stranded with no way home. When an impossible predator shows up to take advantage of an easy meal, Sokka must use all his wits to keep him distracted... and survive long enough to get back home for his sister's wedding.

    Summary

    [“Right,” Hakoda manages. “An honor.”

    “Once we will endeavor to meet with equal honor in return,” the Fire Lord says so quickly he starts almost before Hakoda gets out the last syllable.

    “Sure.” Hakoda has to forcibly unclench his teeth to grind out, “We’re happy to welcome the delegation.” As if they had any choice in it.

    Fuck, but it would have been a lot easier to say no if the Fire Lord weren’t dating his son.]

    Or,

    Zuko is nervous about making a good impression on his first visit South as Fire Lord, which certainly has nothing to do with meeting Sokka’s father.

    Sokka is excited to see his boyfriend after months apart, and is absolutely totally fine with not being involved in the week’s political negotiations. Totally.

    Hakoda already has a headache just thinking about how exactly he’s supposed to interact with a fellow world leader who is also a teenager, and also dating his son, and wait--Sokka’s old enough for dating now? When did that happen?

    Summary

    Days blurred into weeks. The world overhead had changed while Zelda stared past the ground into greater depths deep below the earth. Chasms and caves and islands in the sky, ruins older than Hyrule falling across her kingdom and strange beasts no one had ever known crawled out of hiding. The Zelda of months gone would have leapt at all the new discoveries waiting for her. Her ravenous curiosity clawed at the weight settled over Zelda’s thoughts even now, but she had little room left in her head to care.

    Still. Still, Hyrule needed her. The world was ending all over again and Link was gone, but Zelda was a princess still; the goddess’ power hummed in her blood. This was not the first time she’d shouldered the burden of the apocalypse on her own, and she doubted, now, that it would be the last.

     

    Zelda isn't unfamiliar with losing Link; to death from a Guardian's beam, to amnesia from his resurrection, and now to the darkness below Hyrule Castle. But Link may be closer, and further away, than ever before.

    Summary

    “Zelda?” he repeated. “What is it?” This was something bad, this was something terrible. But why had Impa only addressed the letter to him? Was it something she didn’t want Zelda to know?

    “Link, I…” Zelda looked at the letter again. Her eyes flashed with utter fury. “There is- something’s happened. A family has arrived in Kakariko, from Lurelin. They asked Impa for your whereabouts.”

    “Oh,” Link said. “Is that all? Do they need help?”

    Zelda took a deep breath and put the letter down. She took Link’s hands.

    “Link, darling,” she said, much softer now, as if trying not to spook him. “Their matriarch claims to be Aryll.”

    *

    One hundred years ago, unknown to everyone, Aryll survived the Calamity. Unknown to her, Link was brought back from the dead.

    Now, with Ganon gone and news of Link and Zelda's survival spreading through Hyrule, Aryll goes in search of her big brother alongside her family. But how to prove herself? How to confirm that she's exactly who she says she is?

    Or: Aryll lived. Link lived. After one hundred years, it's time to reunite.
