Summary
“You came to us,” Focus replied simply.
“Us?” Thunderfang tensed as Focus's massive heads swung into view. Two magnificent bird-like heads, pushed together to give the illusion of one great dragon. All of her eight eyes were focused on the Shatter Dragon.
“What do you think you deserve after death?” Focus ignored Thunderfang’s insulted scoff.
OR: Thunderfang gets a second chance. Riyu gets his first.

Summary
Someone tackled her, their hands pressing against her mouth. Austral fought viciously, but held herself back just in case. Her attacker wasn't hurting her, perhaps it's someone she's been looking for. How many Formling survivors were there, now?
“Oh,” her attacker’s strength immediately vanished. They slithered off of her, standing up and offering her a hand. “You're a Formling, too. Sorry. I thought you were someone else. Don't speak!” He held a finger to his mouth as he whispered so quietly that Austral almost couldn't hear. “It’s not safe out here. Come with me. I'll explain everything.”
OR: A glance into Austral's life and thoughts before she appears in my Boreal AU fic, Frozen Heart.

Summary
The Ice Emperor had plenty of time to discover the questionable restrictions that came with being nothing more than a vision. For one, he couldn’t change. He’s stuck in the frostbitten armor that has weighed him down for nearly a century, the most he could do was take his helmet and mask off. It was ridiculously frustrating for moments like these, where he had ventured a little too far into his memory as he recalled the better days of him and Vex. Luckily, he could very briefly lift this curse, as he had the ability to repossess Zane’s own body when the nindroid was offline. If only he would fall asleep faster. The Emperor growled again.
OR: the ice emperor takes control of zane's body while zane is asleep and jerks off. that's it, that's the fic. i wish i was joking.

Summary
Pixal was not blind. She was no fool, either. After waking up from a years-long stasis, she feels as though her senses may have even sharpened. Not that that matters, because Zane was never subtle, anyway. Not to her.
From the second she saw him, she knew something was up. His artificial heart had been pounding, the electrical signature from it spiking dramatically with every beat. And the way he looked at her… Zane was always one for dramatics, but he was so hopeful when he saw her. He was so happy. It was like he thought he would wake from a dream at any second, and he was trying to hold onto it for as long as he could.
It was kind of cute, the way he seemed to believe he was doing a good job of hiding what he really wanted.
OR: Pixal has returned, and Zane couldn't be happier to see her again.

Summary
Zane's not sure what happened, or how. One moment, he was regaining his memories, all of his senses overwhelmed at once, and the next he was on top of Vex, yelling and fighting and—...
He's not sure when Vex stopped screaming.
OR: Zane, in a moment of overwhelmed weakness upon regaining his memory, has murdered Vex in a way that leaves him with a steadily declining headspace.

Summary
Zane, as the elemental master of ice, was cool, calm, and collected. He is cold and calculated, and he is strong. That is what ice is, after all. Cold.
But for as long as he could remember, Zane's element had always been violent. Where Nya would describe gentleness, Zane would experience anger. Where Cole would describe grounding and support, Zane would feel hatred and venom. It was as though his element refused his command until he forced it to obey his will. Zane is not a forceful nindroid.

Summary
Lloyd looked at Zane as though he wanted to argue, but he ultimately shook his head. “But four days is so long! Can't I just look?”
“Give it a rest, Lloyd.” Nya walked into the room, affection practically dripping from her voice as she ruffled her jacket, which was covered in frost. Then, speaking lowly to Zane, “I remember when I was like that. Kai had to safeguard our makeshift tree at night so I wouldn't take a glance!”
Zane laughed at that, the mental image of a little Nya trying to convince her older brother to let her see her presents being tucked away in his mind. He noticed she was in thought. “What brings you out here?”
“Oh! Right, the guys wanted me to get Lloyd. It's snowing!” Nya turned to smile at Lloyd, whose eyes were wide with wonder.
“Snow?” He echoed. “It can snow here?”
OR: Lloyd's first snow day with the ninja

Summary
Grimfax knew there had been no other way. Whether he lived or died, the people of the Never-Realm would have been killed anyway. Grimfax, at least, showed mercy and granted them swift and painless deaths… For the most part. Whenever he could. When Vex wasn’t watching him so closely.
“Your majesty,” the strong voice of one of his guards called. “You have a visitor. The…” He trailed off, as if confused, and then quickly started again. “Zane wishes to speak with you.”
OR Grimfax has been restored to his throne. But how can he feel happy, when he's suffered so much? When he's made others suffer so much?

Summary
Holding the taser in one hand, he flicked the switch and let it hang in the air. Evidently, it worked, as it lit up with a flash and the energy between the weapon’s metal tips was near blinding. Zane’s eyes widened in interest, the tension in his lower abdomen lighting up. Switching the device off again, he turned it over in his hand, studying the conductive properties and checking for signs of wear.
OR Zane gets a little curious after being used as a power source for an interdimensional portal.

Summary
Akita stifled a growl at the sight of the monster.
Boreal. The Ice Emperor’s dragon.
The very creature that froze Akita’s people all those years ago, the same one that stole her brother from her for all that time. The one that brought him to rot and starve, the one that slammed Lloyd into stone, the one that threw Akita herself so hard that she couldn’t hold consciousness for very long after. The Boreal that was responsible for so much suffering, the Emperor’s most loyal pet.
OR
What if the Ice Emperor's dragon, Boreal, survived? What if Akita found it first? What if something changed?

Summary
Zane turned, giving his bed a glance, but instead he bit back a shriek, jolting when he saw two electric blue eyes narrowed at him through the darkness.
His own electric blue eyes.
Well, electric was a stretch. They flickered, and the lights within them were surely dim and dying. But he wasn’t exactly focused on the details, and instead he was staring, shocked, at a terrible, horrible, awful reflection of himself. Though the figure wasn’t wearing his signature heavy armor, his long hair and sharp antlers gave Zane all the information he needed.
The Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor was here, in Zane’s room, standing just where he had been sitting in front of his door. Blocking his only exit. Not making a sound, not moving.
OR; Nobody knows what you want better than yourself!

Zane has finally returned from the Never-Realm, and Pixal finds herself outside of his door in the dead of night, listening to his sobbing.
