    Summary

    'Death is the gateway in which we travel.'

    His death.

    And now he stood before the Earth King, a deadman himself, presumably within the King's own bedchamber.

    Formerly a Prince of the Fire Nation, Ozai didn't expect to find himself serving the Earth King as a dearly devoted concubine in an attempt to prevent the young King's death. In the end, he found this existence to be far more pleasurable than the constant threat he faced in his own world. Living a life under a false identity, surrounded by the lavish opulence of a King who adored him and provided him with everything he could ever want and all he had to do was perform for the man, and stop a few plots to usurp King Kuei's throne.

    Summary

    "A broken heart is like a scarecrow. It can be patched up over and over again but it can never truly learn how to love."

     

    -------

    If love opens new doors, and death closes them, what does loneliness provide in this situation? Does it cobble together the hallway in which both of these constructs exist equally? It was a curious question that Zuko had pondered for far longer than he had any desire to but it was hard to ignore given present circumstances. Death had tore one life away from his fingertips and then love bled him dry before it raced off into a cold lonely night leaving him without so much as a single lantern to comfort himself with.

    He lived now, in this middle ground between those two worlds. Stranded in the desolate hallway that he had come to call loneliness and discovered that both doors that led him to this very moment had been locked tight from the other side. All he had left was the barren land before him and an empty house in which the only warmth that would fill it would come from the sparse kindling within its ashen hearth.

    Summary

    Ever since General How's close brush with death within the city, he finds himself being haunted by the spirit of a man he feels vaguely familiar with. A man he can't quite place, a man that isn't entirely human but seems to want to protect him nonetheless. He can't shake it, and he can't escape this eeriness that follows him everywhere, fearful while simultaneously fascinated by it.

    Only time will tell in the end, whether this man- this creature will change his life for the better or for the worst.

    Summary

    There were a few questionable choices in General How's life that led him to this point, and he was still on the fence of how exactly he felt about it all. Whether it was some divine intervention or a persuasive whisper from his own conscience, something convinced him to share his home with the firebender he spared and then promptly rescued. Of course simplifying it down to something like that was a crude oversight.

    It was when the impenetrable walls of the city had been breached by the determined siege led by General Iroh that How found the badly wounded firebender crawling through the rubble towards the cries of a dying soldier.

    Summary

    The title is pretty self explanatory. This is a series of snapshot scenes and excerpts of fics I have yet to write, or little scenes I enjoyed the thought of but they weren't long enough (over 2000 words) to justify being their own oneshots. I may eventually write them into bigger fics but for now, they're here to be enjoyed.

    Summary

    One day General How and his men came upon an injured teenage refugee collapsed on the side of the road beside his ostrich horse. How had taken the boy in to be cared for at the Ba Sing Se Military Hospital out of an obligation to help the child, only to find himself quickly considering the fact the lone boy is without a caretaker or parent to see to his recovery. Still uncertain of whether this role will be a temporary one until the boy is back on his feet, How discovers young Li has suffered a terrible head injury that resulted in total memory loss. With only the traveling documents on his person to confirm his name, How takes it upon himself to formally adopt and raise the young man as his own.

    Unbeknownst to How, raising a teenager with a clean slate comes with its own obstacles as he juggles the dark impressions of Li's past trauma, unexpected firebending, teenager romance, Li's awkward yet charming shyness, rebellious outbursts and Li's habit of picking up strays, of both the furry and water tribe variety. Parenting was its own battlefield, as How soon discovers.

    Summary

    There was a stranger sleeping under their stairs.

    Zuko wasn't one to turn a blind eye to a homeless kid, but trouble was the last thing he and Uncle needed here in Ba Sing Se. They just finally settled into their roles and found a rhythm for their day to day routines. Living a mundane life had never really appealed to the former prince before, but he could see the benefits in it in terms of fleeing his father's ire and Azula's dogged pursuit.

    Stirring the boy awake, Zuko is shocked and alarmed by who it is that had huddled outside of his apartment all night. Confused and in rough shape, Sokka is desperate for answers and aid while stuck in a city he doesn't know. Sokka turns to the one familiar face in the crowded Lower Ring with the fragile hope that he'll find out who he really is.

     

    -----
    Sokka has amnesia and that's Zuko's problem now. Feelings ensue.

    Summary

    Piandao’s forge burned hot as the older swordmaster prepared one of his molds to show the General the qualities he enjoyed most about his craft. As How folded his hands behind his head and relaxed in the shade, he could hear the bellows huff and blow as the flames grew hotter within their snug bed of coals. The occasional clank of a hammer rang out but it didn’t hinder the relaxation that the General sought. If anything, it reminded him of the far more familiar days spent traveling on campaign.

     

    The dearly beloved quiet was sorely missed as the sudden sound of the swordmaster’s horrified screams ripped jarringly through the air. Every muscle that had previously been relaxed had tightened with anticipation as How leapt to his feet in a jolt of action. His feet pounded the earth as he raced towards the forge, mind running just as quickly over what could have possibly happened to his companion when his back was turned.

    Summary

    Detective Hakoda Itsarmiu is faced with a complicated case the likes of which Omashu City Police Department has never seen before. What began as the mysterious disappearance of two children, Zuko and Azula Miyajima has led to a string of murders across the city with a series of cryptic messages at each crime scene seemingly mocking the detective's attempts to catch the killer in a race against the clock before the next pair of bodies that they find are the siblings themselves.

    As the body count rises, Hakoda must trust his instincts and his son with the hopes that with Sokka's help, they could track down Zuko, but as the days go by and evidence stacks up, they cannot shake this eerie feeling that this case is related to the cold case from years earlier involving the sudden disappearance of Ursa Miyajima. Is the killer coming to finish a job, or send a message that hits home a little too hard? What sort of trouble has Ozai started for his family? Will they reach the kids in time or will their efforts end in vain for the Miyajima siblings?

    Summary

    A strange mountain hut.

    Extensive memory loss.

    And a vague sense of wrongness in everything around him, leaves Zuko reeling when he wakes up with very little knowledge on how he got there. He can recall faint impressions of the war but no idea of how he found himself chained to a wall inside what appears to be a hunting cabin. Unable to escape his binds, the young soldier is faced with the knowledge that his strange otherworldly captor is anything but human as he navigates the struggles of language barriers larger than the Great Divide and prays to Agni that this unusual man won't decide to forgo the local wildlife and decide to eat him instead.

    Summary

    (An alternate take on how the events of Chained would differ if Sokka and Zuko were shapeshifters)

    Having found a sickly oddly colored Fire Ferret in the mountain forest near the Earth Kingdom encampment, Sokka's wolfish instincts recognize it as another shifter like himself. A rare occurrence in the world, there are very few who have been blessed with such a gift from the spirits, and Sokka is ecstatic to know there are more of his kind in the world outside of his homeland.

    Zuko was not expecting to be picked up and walked into the enemy camp while scouting the area for food and other useful resources to report back to his Captains or harvest himself. With this strange turn of events after an unexpected bout of illness had forced him into his changeling form, his fears of becoming a predators lunch quickly turn in a string of bizarre events as the enemy grows attached to his strange ways.
