    Summary

    Sokka isn’t stupid. Not that his sister is, mind you (at least, he’d never call her that to her face now that she’s honed her waterbending), or any of the rest of Team Avatar, although sometimes it feels like he’s living in a different world from the rest of them — a world where running out of food means starving, and walking into a town full of firebenders with the Avatar in tow will get you killed, rather than help you free a beaten-down Earthbender colony.

    Anyways.

    Sokka isn’t stupid, which is why he laughs directly in Aunt Wu’s face when she tells him that he will marry the Fire Lord.

    Summary

    Brennan thought her biggest problem was trying to accept that Booth was getting married to Hannah and losing her best friend, But it seems a stalker is waiting to turn her life from complicated to nightmarish. Booth didn’t know when he’d asked Hannah to marry him that he’d possibly lose his best friend. Just when he’s starting to think things between him and Bones will be okay, she goes missing. Jokes on her kidnapper though. Because he will find her. Even if he has to burn the world to the ground to do it.

    Summary

    Em made a small, exasperated noise. “Fine. The caver’s survival was secondary to the mission. You knew that already, Gyre.”

    “Yeah.” Gyre smiled unthinkingly, her lips twisting up into a bitter, unhappy grimace. “I just thought it was different, you and me. Stupid. I thought you gave a shit - that I was different. That you'd changed.”

    There was silence, save for the soft sound of Em breathing. Despite herself, Gyre wished that she could feel those breaths lifting the small hairs above her ear, raising goosebumps on the flesh of her neck. Anything would do - the barest hint of companionship, of humanity, down in this desolate and lonely cave.

    And then Em spoke. “It was different. I did care about you. I do. More than the others.”

    ***

    So, what if the end wasn't the end? A continuation of the story that casts the book's canonical ending in an entirely different light.
