Summary
"You think I hate you? You think I'd ever kill you?" Sokka holds Zuko's face in both hands, blood dripping from his lips. "I'd fall on my sword for you. I'd find you anywhere. What do you think that means?"
Rescued, but imprisoned, Zuko finds himself no further from death on a water tribe ship. Sokka, the chief, would see him bleeding out on the boards of the deck as justice. He's a fire bender, the evil of the war that his father rages through their world. Zuko hasn't been a part of that war. Not for years. Now he's thrust back into it against his will, finding himself fighting on a side he never expected to be a part of. Maybe he'll find a cause worth fighting for; someone worth fighting for.

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.

Summary
'I can help you.'
Four simple words, and yet they would prove to be the most influential ever whispered in the streets of Ketterdam when a desperate young woman decided to take her chances to improve her fate. Those four words would spawn a partnership that would go down in legend amongst the Kerch, that of Dirtyhands and his Wraith. But beneath hardened exteriors forged by Ketterdam herself and walls built up by pasts many would never recover from, two lost souls may find themselves uniting and healing or crumbling into nothing.
And it all started with those four words.

Summary
He was built to endure forever.
They were never meant to.In 2025, the U.S. government captures a miracle it cannot understand: Adam—Frankenstein’s creation, still alive after 170 years, immortal, scarred, and unbreakable. Stripped of his name and reduced to property, Adam survives a regime of legalized torture with one quiet, defiant choice: he will not give them his violence.
Waiting becomes his weapon.
Then Samuel Reyes arrives.Young, brilliant, and dangerously human, Samuel is the first scientist who looks at Adam and sees a man instead of a specimen. As experiments escalate into ethical horror, forbidden empathy grows into something far more perilous: love under surveillance, intimacy forged in captivity, and a shared plan that could destroy them both.
Adam has outlived empires.
Samuel has everything to lose.Together, they must decide whether survival without freedom is truly living—and whether love can exist in a place designed to erase it.
