    Summary

    The room is dim, tinted with early morning gray-blue. His brain is foggy, but his body’s too wired to sink back under. Typical.
    For a few seconds, he just lies there. Blinking slowly. Staring at the ceiling like it personally offended him. Over the leaf blower, Connor can hear noise coming from downstairs. Muted voices. The coffee grinder. The sound of a pan being tossed into the sink. It’s all too familiar. Things he thought he wouldn’t have to hear again.

    But no, Trust him to screw up something as simple as dying. Couldn’t even do that right.

    Or: What if Connor survived? What if Evan decided to reach out to the only person who might understand him?
    What if what they found in each other, was much more than either of them could've imagined.

    Summary

    Tony must have heard the emotion in his voice. “What’s wrong kid.”

    “I… I need somewhere to stay.” He admitted quietly. “Mom kicked me out.”

    The silence as he waited for Tonys’ response felt like it stretched for an hour, even though it only lasted a few heartbeats.

    “Where are you?”

    “About an hour over the Virginia border.” He explained quickly. “I think I have enough cash to get me to New York if I don’t stop anywhere.”

    “I can send Happy for you in the chopper if you give me the co-ordinates.”

    “You got space for my bike in that chopper?” Harley snarked, unable to help himself.

    Summary

    Zuko knelt before his father on the day of Ozai's coronation and said, "I am your loyal servant. I do not fear being burned."

    Zuko remembers, vividly, bowing before the court, bowing before his father, and wishing he could say something else. Something like, I will honor you, or respect you, or even obey you.

    He wishes there was some other way to prove loyalty, some other way to prove love.

    He wishes he could have said something true, but he has always, always feared being burned.

    Or

    After escaping the Boiling Rock, Zuko and Hakoda have a discussion about duty, loyalty, and love.

    Summary

    Jay resumes throwing the hacky-sack, the grainy thump a background rhythm to such a sweltering night on the Isle of the Lost. He says, with wry humor, “Besides. We’re not going to fucking college.

    Mal throws her head back and cackles, as if the mere idea is too hilarious to even contain. Maybe it is; the Isle’s worst Villain Kids, going to some fancy school in the heart of Auradon.

    Or:

    Ben does not become king at sixteen. Still, one way or another, the innocent leave the Isle. Unfortunately for everyone, nothing is that simple.
