Summary
Hakoda kills a Southern Raider. This backfires spectacularly. Zuko is just trying to keep four kids from dying while not being a traitor to his nation. Toph is concerned. Sokka finds himself rethinking everything he had previously considered the norm.
Or
Kuei orders all of the Fire Nation out of Ba Sing Se after Azula fails her coup. This has wider ramifications than he thought.

Summary
Magnus is deep in concentration when his phone goes off, shattering the stillness of the apartment. It's Alec's text tone, and the first sign of contact in the six months since they broke up.
Stopping by Rizzoli's on the way home. Lasagna or chicken parmesan?
It's benignly casual, something Alec could have sent on any other night. Any other night six months ago, rather. Before Alec had crushed his heart and walked away without looking back.
But when Alec comes through the door—it's like no time has passed. Like Alec has no memory of breaking Magnus' heart at all.Bookmarked by MapleTales

Summary
“So what you’re telling me,” a second voice rises over Cassian’s, “is that you had an Imperial droid whose primary objective was somehow keeping you alive, and the first thing you did was remove that part of his operating system.”
“The courtesy didn’t extend to Kertas and Rismor; they’re in medical.”
“Ah. And you don’t want to gut its programming for the Rebellion’s benefit because…?”
“He saved my life.”
“By dint of a careless officer’s fortunate word choice, you aren’t special, Captain Andor.”

Summary
Sokka's instincts had screamed at him ever since Jet showed his smarmy, smug, wheat chewing face, but without evidence he couldn't convince Katara and Aang to listen to him. Honestly, as time went on and he couldn't find anything to support his unease he started to doubt it himself.
Then Jet let him in on the Freedom Fighter's biggest secret.
Sokka should have known better than to ignore his instincts.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
It's not cold like that time Ryland went camping in the Rockies. That had been fun. Finding a cold spot in your spaceship 13-light years away from home? Not fun.
Which is especially bad because apparently he's the only one who can feel it.Bookmarked by MapleTales

Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.Bookmarked by MapleTales

Summary
“You’ve been stalling,” Jesper realized.
Wylan flinched, chewing on his bottom lip. “I’ve been trying to recreate it,” he stubbornly repeated, his face smoothing over with remarkable practice, and it would have been a good lie.
It would have been, if Jesper hadn’t grown up around jurda fields and understood precisely how to take each blossom apart. If Jesper hadn’t been a curious boy once, splitting each stem to understand how each flower bloomed beneath his mother’s touch – before grief had turned question into longing, and longing into restlessness.
This wasn’t the plan: they were supposed to save Wylan, not kill him. But he’d seen what the parem had done, and the secret of it couldn’t leave this room.
------------------
Or, the AU where Wylan is responsible for jurda parem, Jan Van Eck hires Kaz to rescue him from the Ice Court, and Jesper takes aim at Wylan.

Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.
Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.
----------------------
Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

Summary
She stood frozen, staring. He pulled a clump of sod from his hair. Even from here she could smell it, the heavy, acrid scent that clung to him, like earth turned over, like pavement after rain.
“Natalie,” her mother beamed, eyes huge and bright and wet, “Say hello to your brother.”
He waved at her. “Surprise,” he said mildly, as if he were dropping in for dinner. “Can I use your shower?”

He pushes himself up onto his elbows to look at her. Searches her face. Sometimes when his gaze gets desperate like that, he looks just like their mom. “I’m not trying to hurt you,” he says.
She scoffs. “You ruined my life.”

Summary
“If you get out there while you’re drugged there’s no telling what you’ll do,” Wylan said, pushing past Kaz to get back to his work station. “I’d think you'd want to avoid pulling the Dregs into this gang war.” He yanked a cabinet open and rummaged around for a pipette. Opened the vial. Drew out a drop. In his head he ran through the motions of the synthesis: he’d gotten close, before, with the blood sample. All he had to do now was see it through to the finish.
“I know that.” Kaz’s voice was nearly a snarl, but then again it always sounded like that. There was still time. “I mean, why didn’t you lock it from the outside?”
“Like that would stop you," Wylan scoffed. "You need an antidote. You said the others were dead within the hour.”
“Only after killing everyone in their vicinity, Merchling, did you forget that part?”

Wylan pushes up from his chair and comes closer. Jesper blinks again as Wylan slides open the window and looks down at him wryly.
„Are you trying to break in again?“, he asks, irritation lacing his silky voice.
„Uh…“, Jesper says, dumbstruck.

It’s good for circulation, Jesper would usually tease, but now he only turned and added: “Pay up, Kaz.”
“You cheated,” Kaz accused.
Wylan shrugged. “We can play again.”

Summary
"I’ve known you were the Darknight Hero since the very beginning, because Kaeya came to me after you assaulted him following your return to Mondstadt. I recognized the distinctive pattern of the burns you inflicted on him with the delusion you were using. I haven’t exposed you, accused you of anything, or killed you because Kaeya begged me not to. Because for some baffling reason he still cares about you. And I agreed, against my better judgment, because Kaeya is extremely precious to me."
