    NOTE: All fics here contain fictionalized versions of my perception of actual people - basically characterizations based off of how I perceive them. This is not meant to be a serious portrayal, nor an accurate depiction. These are real people deserving of respect, especially to their privacy and real lives. If any real person who a character is based off of in these fics announces they are not comfortable with any portrayal of themself in written works please let me know and the fic containing them will be taken down or edited accordingly. Thank you!

    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

    Time itself loops back around, back to a time before the cycle was ever a thing.
    Fortunately for a few iterators - it brings them along with itself, to a time ages ago.

    Now Five Pebbles has to deal with being in a world full of bugs, sometimes seeing things he remembered from his old archives - dated to hundreds of thousands of years in the past -placed out and about and used as if they were brand new. He also keeps finding pearls written by NSH, but said iterator? Is nowhere to be found.
    Hopefully he can figure out this strange place, and perhaps help heal this fallen kingdom.
    After all, it just so happens that the power he used to enlighten beings in the past is enough to cure the strange "infection" that the creatures of this place seem to suffer from.
    Well. It's just another task, is it not?

    (First chapter is the prologue, next ones will be Pebbles Centric and different. I simply wanted to set some lore down I otherwise couldn't.)

    Summary

    He was cold. All he could remember was the cold and his music. He could feel hints and scraps of what he once was, memories stored in… somewhere he forgot the name of, not that he would retain the information for more than a second if he could find it. This was better than before, a mercy compared to when he was… was? The beginning of a rare thought was blown away with the wind. He tried to curl up into himself and clutch his music closer as the blizzard ate away at what was left of him, familiar in a way he is incapable of placing.

    Five Pebbles has been sitting in the blizzard for far to long, but when an unknown iterator finds a way to detach puppets from their cans, Pebbles' local group rescues Moon and him. He now must live with what has happened to him rather than wither away.
