Summary
The previous reincarnations of the Avatar Spirit were growing restless as Aang stayed frozen within the iceberg and Sozin’s Comet drew nearer. In the year 97 AG, they made a desperate gamble by removing the Avatar Spirit from Aang and giving it to their best hope for peace and balance between all four nations—a 13 year-old Zuko, freshly burned and sentenced to exile.

Summary
Robert loved his father, he really did. But the only thing which could make the destruction of the Mech and his entire legacy worse, Robert decided, would be if his dad was here to see it. He might be temporarily retired as a superhero, drowning in thousands of dollars of credit card debt, fighting through chronic pain, unable to take revenge for his father’s killer, and working as the barely respected leader of a group of superpowered assholes… but at least he didn’t have to deal with that.
Or, Robert “Robbie” Robertson II gets transported to the future to witness his son at two steps above rock-bottom. Nobody takes it well.
Except Shroud. Shroud is having a fucking field day.

Summary
With Rouge joining Team Sonic to be closer to Knuckles and Omega being assigned to a new base for a promotion, Shadow is once again alone. He watches Sonic and his team from afar, conflicted. He works better alone, and yet … part of him yearns for their company, specifically that of his blue rival.
When the bodies of poisoned Mobians are found in increasing numbers, Shadow will have to work together with Team Sonic to uncover the culprit. But Shadow’s life is becoming increasingly tumultuous – Commander Tower is retiring, and his replacement seems to have the singular goal of making Shadow’s life a living hell. It’s a flip of a coin whether the circumstances bring Shadow closer to Sonic and his team, or drive him away forever.
(Title from ‘No Happy Ending’ by the Mechanisms)

Summary
Someone in the Camelot (Merlin) has rooted out a spy on the council. This anonymous person (who is obviously Merlin) put this accusation into a long letter, full of evidence from a thorough investigation and infiltration of the spy's circle within the staff. Arthur is remarkably impressed with this mystery detective (again, Merlin) and becomes set on uncovering their identity.
Merlin didn't think things would get out of hand. He only wanted to get rid of the spy publicly and legally, so he forewent the magic and decided to conduct a counterintelligence mission for months to gather evidence the old-fashioned way—like anyone would! But suddenly Arthur is searching for him, and magic or not, he learned a long time ago to stay in the shadows.
George is so tired. It is so obvious. King Arthur is disappointingly unobservant, and George cannot take this much longer.
