glass fireflies by Rowen (witheredhydrangeas)

Summary
Growing up in rural Georgia, Arthur Morgan never really understood the whole gender identity debate that everyone else around him was having. He could barely work his phone half the time, who was he to police others?
So when he finds a disheveled figure half stumbling in the rain on his way to work, he offers them a ride. As luck would have it, it's his new coworker, Shiloh. The boy is timid, hiding behind a cloud of hair and oversized shirts. One day, Arthur walks into the employee bathroom and finds Shiloh adjusting his chest binder, scratches and cuts from many failed attempts to remove it throughout the day. He sees the tears he wipes away when he realizes Arthur is there.
Arthur does the first thing he can think of: offer to take him horseback riding after work to try and cheer him up.

Balance by Rowen (witheredhydrangeas) for Stardust948
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
13 May 2022
Tags
Summary
The concept of balance has never struck Zuko as something he'd understand.Iroh brings it up once after the siege of the North Pole, mentioning the moon and ocean spirits being the koi fish in the Spirit Oasis. They circle each other in an 'eternal dance,' his uncle calls it. Zuko frowns at the mention, only remembering battling the Water Tribe girl over the Avatar.
The second time is when he and Aang are facing Ran and Shaw. As they do the Dragon Dance, the prince can't help but notice how they circle each other so perfectly, two parts of a whole.
Even when he and Katara start to call each other "Sun" and "Moon" as they cuddle on the Ember Island beach, the connection still isn't made.
It's only in the midst of the Agni Kai with Azula, feeling her lightning go past him, that he realizes just what his uncle meant all those months ago.
One cannot exist without the other.
Or:
Zuko wasn't fast enough to redirect Azula's lightning.

Arthur and his horse always had a special bond. After Boadicea, the reverse dapple black Thoroughbred he found at the Valentine stable was his next favorite. He was braver than her, arguably.
But bonds are never made to last.
