Summary
Sokka's instincts had screamed at him ever since Jet showed his smarmy, smug, wheat chewing face, but without evidence he couldn't convince Katara and Aang to listen to him. Honestly, as time went on and he couldn't find anything to support his unease he started to doubt it himself.
Then Jet let him in on the Freedom Fighter's biggest secret.
Sokka should have known better than to ignore his instincts.

Summary
Izuku is Quirkless. He always has been, and always will be, Quirkless. No matter what the man and his monsters do to him. (The man, too, is a monster, even though he has eyes that are a pretty shade of blue and he has no blackened skin. Even though he looks so, so normal at first, even though he can look kind before he gets too close-)He stares down at his red shoes (he's been wearing his white laces for so long that they are grey-brown now, and one end is red-) and waits. Listens. He had no choice in coming here, he never does, and maybe he doesn't want to be here but he also doesn't want-
"Izuku-kun, dear boy, look at me." Izuku wants to, he really does (he knows what will happen if he doesn't, and that reality is worse, but he still finds himself frozen still, ice and ash all he can taste-), but he can barely breathe, let alone move.
The hand curling under his chin is deceptively gentle, until the moment it tightens.
~~~
Izuku doesn't like that the man is using him as an experiment, that he is being given Quirks that he has to analyse, to pick and pull apart and explain to the man. But he doesn't have a choice. Not if he wants his family to be okay.

Mai hated living in Omashu. It was so dull, talking to the possibly senile earthbending king sounded like a not-terrible way to pass the time.

Summary
According to the history annals of the Republic, the Je'daii civil war between the Sith and Jedi factions was won by the Jedi, defeating the Brotherhood of Darkness and reclaiming the name Je'daii. The Ruusan Reformation disbanded all Je'daii military forces, bringing them under the purview of the Republic, and tasking them with the large job of Galactic Peacekeeping.
According to the history annals of the Je'daii Order, the Sith won the civil war. The Ruusan Reformation is just one of many ways they have of keeping those who subscribe to the Jedi way of things unable to restart the war. The others are... less pleasant.
Of course, that just means that the Jedi are even more determined to break free. They've had 1,000 years to come up with a plan. They're ready to break their chains.
