Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
There was a giggle. But it was not from Katara. Or even Aang.
Sokka’s head snapped over to Zuko, who looked just as shocked as Sokka felt. His cheeks were cherry-red and he had a hand clapped over his mouth. “Did you just laugh?” Sokka asked. Just to make sure his ears still worked.
Zuko spluttered, his cheeks darkening. “What—no! Why would I ever—I mean, what is laughing?” And then, “Your jokes suck anyway!”
OR
Sokka accidentally makes Zuko laugh during one of their fights. He takes it upon himself to continue making Zuko laugh in their future encounters, just as a "distraction tactic."

Summary
“No shit,” Toph replies and Zuko chuckles at that.
“I feel like you swear a lot more than most twelve year olds should,” he says.
“Well, I feel like you’re much more angsty than your average teenager.”
A pause. And then another small laugh, “You got me there.”
OR
Growing up, Toph never had any siblings. Zuko doesn't have a good relationship with the one he does have.
Together, they discover in each other what they were missing.- Language:

Summary
“I’m a waterbending master, Zuko. It’s insulting that you think I’m going to miss and cut you with a tiny icicle.”
Letting out a slow breath, the banished prince lowered his gaze to the floor again and tried to focus on sharpening his swords. After dinner, Katara had thought that it would be a good idea to practice her waterbending under the moonlight. No problem there, Zuko himself loved to practice his firebending in the sunlight. The issue was that she decided to practice right next to him.
Or,
Zuko gets hurt and thinks he deserves it as punishment. Sokka's there to tell him otherwise.

Summary
After years of his Uncle begging, Zuko finally agreed to start attending group therapy sessions. The night he got his scar has crept into his dreams and he just wants to sleep through the night again. All he expected to get out of the program is the resolvement of the trauma he experienced five years ago and coping mechanisms for all the anxiety that followed. Friends were at the very bottom of his list of things he wanted to find in therapy. But life is a funny thing. You never know how it’s going to turn out.
Modern American High School AU where the gAang meets at group therapy and slowly become friends/build their own little family through a series of adventures. Follows a lot of themes/events from the animated series, but adapts them to our world. It’s like a medium-burn platonic story with a bit of magical realism.

Summary
Now, Scott claps his hands together, remembering why Peter had burst through his door. “Girl advice,” he says. And then he’s grinning, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “That’s right. 'Course you'd come to me for that. Because you know I must have done something right to...you know...” He nods at a picture frame sat on a shelf near Peter, of Scott and Hope together, and then keeps nodding, looking proud of himself. “I don’t know what I did exactly, but it must’ve been right.”
Or, Peter is, like, really in love with MJ, and goes to Scott for advice.

Summary
They’re studying, ‘cause finals are coming up and Eddie’ll be damned if he doesn’t beat Richie in at least one of their classes. Richie’d thrown his head back and laughed when he heard that, had crowed, “Keep dreaming Spaghetti,” as Eddie knocked him in the ribs, but he’s not laughing now. No. Not when they’re sprawled out across Eddie’s beige (boring) bedspread, books open in front of them, and Eddie is gesturing wildly and ranting about the Axis powers or some shit, his perfect hair is askew and the light is catching his eyes just so, and Richie can only think, he’s beautiful.
Or
Five times Richie kissed Eddie and one time Eddie kissed him first.

Summary
Richie had been eager to take his new car for drives out past Derry city limits. Out where they could blare music as loudly as the stereo would allow, screaming lyrics, holding hands and making out. He wanted to drive Eddie out where no one could see them, lay him out in his backseat and spend the evening just like that.
/Or: Richie gets a car for his sweet sixteenth birthday. This means big things for Richie, Eddie and the other Losers; things like car races, jam sessions, drive-in movies, driving lessons and late night trips to get fast food.

Summary
Eddie needs routine. He always has. He needs structure, a plan, has to know exactly how his day will go or he’ll end up totally lost. Killing an alien clown, confronting your mother for the first time, and stopping all of your medications at once kinda throws that out of wack.
Or, Eddie stops taking all of those fake medications, but it turns out one was real.

Summary
Billy Batson finds himself alone in a crowd after losing Rosa in the quickly moving bustle, and everything is fine, really, really. It's fine.
Except that it's not. It's not, because there's a little voice in his brain that goes, 'Oh no, not again,' even though that's perfectly irrational and obviously not the case here. Obviously.
(He maybe sort of panics. Just a little.)
(Or a lot.)

Summary
“Can you be at the airport in like, eight hours?” Eddie asks, apropos of nothing.
Richie breathes out a short laugh. “Um, what?”
“The airport, idiot, can you be there? I mean, I could, like, Uber to your apartment…house? Do you live in an apartment or a house? Fuck, why haven’t we talked about this before now, I don’t know anything about LA… Anyways, yeah, eight hours, can you do it?” Eddie is rambling, and Richie would be comforted by the familiarity if he had any idea what the fuck was going on.
OR: Eddie comes to LA, and Richie is in love with him.
