Summary
"The last time she was here, the last time she was home, she was so angry. She has always been so angry. When Katara iced her, it all left. Even now, she’s not sure what made her scream like that. Terror, maybe. Shame. She’s not sure, but it wasn’t fury. She knows that feeling, because it’s what drove her for most of her life, and she remembers its absence during that stupid Agni Kai.
She’s not sure how much the battle and her breakdown actually changed her. She doesn’t feel like a better person, but she doesn’t feel worse, either. She just feels weaker. More pitiful. She used to treat life as a problem to solve, a game to beat. Now she feels like a machine, and not even one that works right. She has a hard time even finding anything to think about anymore."
or
The one where Azula comes "home," Zuko tries his best to be a big brother, and a lot of people do what they can to forgive and forget.

Summary
"Lena is twenty-three years old when she meets Kara Danvers. She’s exactly Lena’s type, of course, but it certainly isn’t love at first sight. A lot of Lena’s life is, actually, ruled by her emotions, but she’s much too logical to subscribe to that kind of myth. So when she meets Kara, she doesn’t fall in love on sight or anything, but she can tell that she will. It feels a little like she wishes meeting Jack had felt."
or
The one where Lena doesn't heal, really, but she starts to.

Summary
Lena Luthor is fourteen years old when she meets Veronica Sinclair. It's dramatic to say that Veronica is Lena's downfall (it's not like Lena ever had all that far to fall), but she gives Lena all the shortcuts to rock bottom, and it takes Lena a hell of a while to unlearn them. She is eighteen when she meets Jack Spheer. He's very much not Veronica, and he's the closest Lena ever comes to being in love with a man.
or
The one where Lena is a little fucked up so she gets a lot fucked up for quite some time.

Summary
Carson runs a set like nobody Greta has ever met.
There’s a measure of playfulness, of equal respect all-around that Greta isn’t used to. The ship sails smoothly, and Carson is the captain.
It’s rare to have a woman photograph her, too. Greta is used to men. Men who come to shoot at all because it’s her, because of her body. Because they’re hungry, and Greta lets them be, because there’s no way she couldn’t.
Even after the first outfit she models, Greta can tell that Carson isn’t like that. She practically waltzes through the space as she gets the angles that she wants, never gets closer to Greta than what feels comfortable – but Carson also never even has to ask if it’s okay. She just seems to know.
(Or, a photographer x model AU set in Los Angeles. The one where Greta wishes people knew she wasn't art, that she was just a woman. And Carson does. Carson has always known.)

Summary
"The world narrows around them until the sounds of the city grow muted, and there is nothing but Greta and the silk-soft press of her lips. It feels like pure elation - a heady combination of physical sensation and the realisation that this is real, that it is truly happening - and Carson’s whole body sings with it. Like a match pressed to the strike paper, her skin sparks and her blood runs hot, as every fibre of her being feels set to catch alight."
Greta runs, Carson picks up the pieces. Or, she tries. Until, that is, a chance encounter shakes the new foundations she has built for herself. It brings with it a chance for closure, catharsis, communication, and...a great deal of connection.
[this is a fill-in reunion and smut fic for my social media au: good day for marrying you]
