Summary
“Bones, what are you doing here so early–”
“I’m stuck in a time loop,” Bones says, cutting Jim off. He opens the cupboard near Jim’s table and makes a face at its lack of contents. “And before you ask, yes, you’ve been aware of this the past few loops. No, I haven’t figured out how to break it yet.” Bones pauses and opens another door in Jim’s cupboard and scowls. “What did you do with all your liquor?”
Jim blinks, his brain trying to process everything Bones just told him.
OR
Bones is stuck in a time loop. Jim isn't. He relearns this everyday.

“Bones?” He asks with the rise of an eyebrow and Jim laughs.
“Yeah, Bones.” Jim replies. His lips quirk into a half-smile but he keeps his eyes closed. “You needed a nickname.”
“You couldn’t have thought of a normal one?” Leonard grumbles as he sets to work on Jim’s hand.
“It suits you."
Or
Leonard falls apart and he runs to Starfleet. In three years, he learns how to pick himself back up.

Summary
“No shit,” Toph replies and Zuko chuckles at that.

“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.

-
On the nights that Wei Wuxian was gone, Lan Wangji woke to gifts on his pillow.

Summary
Sokka does a shitty k turn in the parking lot across from the bus station, pulls up to the curb where the boy is looking determinedly at his phone, and rolls down the passenger window. “Hey! Which way were you going?” He may die, but at least his conscience will be clear.
The guy blinks at him.
“Don’t.”
Oh, he’s prickly.
