    Summary

    Zuko knelt before his father on the day of Ozai's coronation and said, "I am your loyal servant. I do not fear being burned."

    Zuko remembers, vividly, bowing before the court, bowing before his father, and wishing he could say something else. Something like, I will honor you, or respect you, or even obey you.

    He wishes there was some other way to prove loyalty, some other way to prove love.

    He wishes he could have said something true, but he has always, always feared being burned.

    Or

    After escaping the Boiling Rock, Zuko and Hakoda have a discussion about duty, loyalty, and love.

    Summary

    It took a long time for him to calm down, to stop screaming and thrashing and demanding to know just what exactly happened. Through his hysteria, Father managed to give a rushed sequence of events – bad information, an ambush, Earth benders, no one else in the mission survived and they did not think Lu Ten would either, except the boulder fell strangely, crushed his arm, but staved off enough bleeding to keep him alive until healers arrived, he was lucky. Not that Lu Ten felt lucky.

    OR

    Lu Ten survives, but his arm does not, leading to Zuko becoming his temporary scribe while he learns to write with his non-dominant hand; at the same time, he starts realizing family doesn't mean the same thing to everyone

    Summary

    Shouto wakes up in the hospital after the final battle is finally won. But at what costs? Where will his family go from here? Is Touya dead? Does he deserve to be dead? Does Shouto /want/ him to be dead? Shouto can always count on his best friend to be there for him, and he will be there in return for Izuku. After all, they’ve both been through so much.

    AKA my “fixing” of the MHA ending because there were a few things I was unsatisfied with. Featuring the Todoroki siblings and Izuku processing all that went down, sibling bonding, and a happier ending for Touya bc I refuse to let him suffer to death in a tube.

    Summary

    Severus is still choking on the air being repelled from his lungs when the first attempt slams against his skull. This attempt isn't like theirs. It isn't the stinging, burrowing, bamboo-shoots-under-the-nail like crawling of his Lord's magic. Not Voldemort's slow and torturous magic, polluting his mind with burning pains as he digs deeper inside, unrelenting. Nor is it the powerful, crushing, passionate rush of Dumbledore flooding him. His mentor and warden's grand magic, trying to shatter his shields until they were impenetrable. No, this attempt comes at him like a dart throw. It sails at him like a whisp through the air, hitting his shields with the force of a feathered pin-point. Leaving only a small hole in the surface of his mental fortitude. The magic is insistent, but all too gentle compared to what he's known.

    (Severus Snape whump at the ministry. Written because I was always confused why the Order didn't jump Snape sooner. Please excuse my use of Magical Macguffins :/ )

    Summary

    ***

    “I knew the sniveling coward would run off and betray us sooner or later!”

    “You did, did you?” Dumbledore replied, still standing in the doorway, Fawkes perched upon his shoulder. His powerful aura emanated off of him, filling the room. “Well, I am sorry to say I do have news and it is not good. It appears we have indeed lost our spy.”

    ***

    Voldemort forces Snape to test a mysterious potion on himself. It does not have the desired effect, but the Dark Lord makes do.
