Summary
A boy made of lies that were all supposed to mean something. His quirk, his past, his NAME, all carefully built to mean nothing. But it never goes according to plan. Izuku thought he had everything handled, under control. His quirk is nothing, like everyone thinks it is. His past is locked away, where it can't hurt anyone anymore. His name? Fake, obviously. Both of them.
How long can this relative peace last when a desperate vigilante bites off more than he can chew? How will run-ins with heroes, villains, and a strange girl with a penchant for knives alter the course of history?
Meanwhile, a different girl sits on a beach, an outcast from birth. A destiny approaches her, brought on by one lucky chance and a conversation with a man the shadow of what he used to be. When destiny and the public eye prove to be too much, who will be there to pick up the pieces?
And what's wrong with these quirks?
This is the beginning of something more.
----
Or, Izuku has AFO and nothing ever goes according to plan. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

Summary
Messing with the Dai Li is foolish, as anyone with half a brain could tell you, but the Dai Li have a way of forcing your hand; particularly when they capture your family. Ba Sing Se has a big storm coming.
Sequel and direct continuation of 'we rise and we fall and we break'.

Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.

Summary
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

Summary
“Lies that cannot be dispelled are lies believed. In the telling of it are we set free.”
Following an age spent bound in service to the Beast God of Silk, Lace awakens. She awakens from slumber, inflicted by defeat, her silken body wounded and mended by a claw different from her Mothers; she awakens from her possession, haunted threads, which once filled her mind with her liege and Mother’s demands, now severed; she awakens into a new age, one drowning in spider webs: the age of the Weaver Queen. Above her, she finds the trembling shadow of her former rival and last hope, the Weaver’s body warped by claiming godhood. Below, she finds a Pharloom haunted by the consequences of her past actions, by survivors, and by a trail of riddles left by the red-cloaked warrior. Is Lace caught in another web?
Newly mortal and spiraling out of control, Lace is unable to resist the lure of an order, especially one given by the most interesting thing ever to happen to her. What remains of Hornet will lead her on a quest spanning the breadth of her now dying kingdom, force her to face the lies she perpetuated, and show her that some paths cannot be taken alone.

Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.
Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extremely extensive flashbacks which start early on. Read the tags.

Summary
She stiffened as it turned its wrist to look at her, blinking as its face came into view. She was surprised to see a pale, horned mask. Aside from the crudely-wrapped bandages covering one of its eyes, the shape of its horns and the abysmal state its cloak was in, the resemblance to the spider was quite striking.
In which the Dung Defender and the Hollow Knight travel to Pharloom in search of Hallownest's missing sentinel and get wrapped up in much more than they initially anticipated.

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

Summary
Hornet never thought she could call the days of the infection ‘simple’, but her siblings so loved to complicate things, didn’t they? Of course, she’d never have it any other way. Even if it did mean she was a child again.
(In a desperate attempt to escape defeat, the Radiance tries to flee through time itself. Ghost follows, taking Hornet along for the ride. But they can’t very well leave Hollow behind either now, can they?
In which Hollow causes an international incident, Hornet wants to throttle someone, and Ghost discovers that punching the Pale King is way better when he’s actually alive.)

After defeating Lace in the cradle, Hornet finds herself unable to leave the child of silk behind, and equally uncertain of her ability to confront Mother Silk.
Perhaps, if she can convince Lace to change her allegiance, she’ll have a better chance.
Hornet and Lace go from Songclave to Bone bottom, no Bellways, no falling down the big ass hole to moss grotto. and knowing my writing tendencies, they’re probably gonna be a lil gay about it along the way :3
