    Summary

    The crew is broke.

    They don’t have enough money, or enough supplies, or enough rum in the galley, and Zuko is their captain. Uncle says they’ll figure something out at the next port, and that he should not worry about it because he’s “fourteen” and “too young” to do so.

    (He has never been too young for this. If he were too young, then he wouldn’t be scarred and scared and scouring the scorched globe for a century-old legend, and his father would be telling him to come home.)

    At the next port, he slips into town with another face plastered upon his own and two silver swords hefted across his back, and seeks gold.

     

    or: zuko learns and relearns, trespasses earth kingdom territory, commits contrary treason through paid murder, and gains friends.

    Summary

    Eventually, Zuko realizes that Sokka searches for ways to let his hands linger—and he gives Sokka every opportunity he can, until they're standing on the precipice of naming what they are, and what all of their gentle touches really mean.

    All they need, it turns out, is a ruined tassel, some yarn, and an excuse for Sokka to reach out to Zuko's hair, yet again.

    --
    He sighs, and very nearly misses it when Sokka softly asks, “helping?”

    Zuko can only bring himself to languidly nod, and savor the feeling of being so fully held.

    Summary

    The first time Zuko watched his father bend lightning, Ozai had come to himself with a familiar smile, the one Zuko went on to fear.

    When Azula bent lightning for the first time, she returned to herself beaming, giggling at her hands in awe of what she had done.

    Zuko comes to himself screaming.

    Summary

    salting the earth; the practice of spreading salt over a conquered city to both curse it and render its soil infertile, condemning its residents to famine.

     

    Zuko is many things throughout his life. Himself is just the one he never has the time for.

    Summary

    [ There’s an intake of breath, like Zuko is going to say something, but it stays quiet between them. He's gathering the courage to say something, and Sokka is going to try and be patient, even though he doesn’t have a lot of practice in it.

    "I think my father is abusive."

    And Sokka almost laughs at that, just out of sheer misery.]

    Things aren't the same after their little fieldtrip to the Boiling Rock. Sokka tries to navigate.

    Summary

    [“Don’t worry, love,” Sokka tosses over his shoulder, smirking as Zuko’s heat licks up his back. “Second place is still good enough to get your dick w—wait. Mine?”

    Zuko tumbles Sokka onto the bed. “Yours?”

    “You said mine doesn’t have posters.” Sokka shoves his loose hair out of his face, rolling onto his back just in time for Zuko to straddle him. “Meaning yours. Your—crush? You have a crush?”]

    OR

    Zuko has a crush. Detective Wang Fire is on the case. And Sokka--Sokka might have a few questions, too, once he gets past how fun it is to see Zuko so flustered.

    Summary

    The Fire Lord needs a new hairdresser, a grueling process of vetting and testing and background checking. Sokka might know just the person, though--if only he can find her in the city. And if only he can figure out how to make sure Zuko likes her without revealing the whole, you know. Fire Lord thing.

    Or,

    Sokka takes Zuko on a date in the city that does not go at all how Zuko expects it to. (At least not at first)

    Summary

    [“Vitok couldn’t think his way out of a circle in the snow,” Zuko says, tart, and Sokka lets out a surprised laugh at the unexpected, mostly correct saying. Zuko must be writing Bato again.

    “Not like the head of the Southern delegation, of course,” Sokka says, grinning at the dry look that earns him. “Why, I’ve heard he’s so dashing and handsome and intelligent and—”

    “Humble,” Zuko puts in, tugging lightly on the long fall of Sokka’s wolf tail. “So very, very humble.”

    Sokka bats his eyelashes. “It’s his best feature, probably.”

    Zuko hums, giving him a blatant, thorough once over. “Depends on who you ask.”]

    --

    Sokka doesn’t know how Zuko managed to swing an entire day off during a week of trade negotiations—he does, actually, it was yelling—but he isn’t going to waste the opportunity now that it’s in his lap.

    Eating. Shopping. Relaxing. Exploring Gaoling. Testing the limits of trying on clothes as a form of foreplay.

    With a whole day in front of them, there’s no need to rush. But with Zuko looking so good outside of the usual layers of his Fire Lord robes, there’s no reason for Sokka not to have some fun along the way.

    Summary

    [“I’m telling you,” Aang says as he dices cilantro. “Go for it! At least try! You clearly like them!”

    Sokka wrinkles his nose as the skillet, poking at the stir fry. “And I’m telling you, you’re reading into it. There’s nothing to try, I like them a totally reasonable, normal amount. The same way anyone at the gym likes anyone they see at the gym a lot.”

    “Sokka.” Aang stops chopping. “You have all your gym schedules laminated. They’re on the fridge.”]

    OR,

    Sokka begins his Fit Girl Summer with a membership to a shiny new gym, a fully rehabbed knee, and a crush or two on one or two people who are totally, definitely, actually dating each other, and who are totally, definitely, actually just being friendly and nice and not at all into him. Totally.

    Danny’s death in the portal did leave behind his corpse. But it isn’t him who digs a grave for it.

    Summary

    Danny finds the note on his bed around the same time as Valerie realizes Star is missing. Getting kidnapped by a random ghost wasn’t on Star’s bucket list, but even once it’s clear she’s bait to draw in the Red Huntress and Phantom, something still doesn’t add up. After all, she’s no more important to them than the next person—right?

    Summary

    Danny Fenton hasn't ever told his friends and sister the truth about the so-called 'Dark Phantom' or 'Dan'. As far as Sam and Tucker are concerned, he was dealt with in the future somehow. As far as Jazz is concerned, he was stopped before he could become a major threat. As far as Danny is concerned, none of them need to know the devastating truth about how close he came to setting Danny on the same path, or the simple fact that he's one of only two ghosts to really achieve his goal despite Danny's interference.

    Only the newly-half-dead Valerie Gray knows just how close the world came to disaster, and only she can truly relate to the complex inhuman instincts that allowed that version of Danny to come to pass. The pair have a pact to keep each other in check. They also have a deal: Valerie tells her father about what happened to her, and Danny admits their mutual fixation on protection to Jazz.

    Of course, to explain the real danger of it, he needs to explain the other timeline. After all, at its core, the issue was simple: if he failed badly enough, if nobody caught him when he fell, it could make him a monster. He has no doubt that Valerie is the same way. They need the support of the team.

    Summary

    She faltered, and fled. Not because she wouldn’t have pulled the trigger, but because—god, that look in his eyes—he would have let her.

    Even after his secret is revealed, Phantom and the Red Huntress continue their little dance of chase-and-be-chased.

    Summary

    Cautiously, Steve puts his hand on Clint’s neck, lightly enough to be shaken off, close enough to feel the shift of his spinal cord under his palm and between his fingers and thumb. The magnitude of his trust feels like a chasm stretched out beneath them, and the freefall of accepting it leaves Steve breathless.

    It would take nothing, absolutely nothing, for Steve to break Clint’s neck like this. One squeeze, and he would drop like a torn sack of barley.

    “You’re really bad at hugging, Cap,” Clint says, and Steve laughs, deep in his chest.
