Summary
Toph laughs, because of course she does.
“Scar, huh?” She asks, voice as bright and teasing as it’d been throughout the play, and Zuko hates how his heart drops at the sound of it.
“Must be pretty noticeable,” Toph continues, ignorant to the shame and hurt that wells within Zuko’s chest at her words. “But I bet it looks badass!”
Which… Wait, what?

give you my lungs (so you could breathe) by GracefulLeopard, PolynomialPandemic

Summary
“Do you know how to swim, Robin?” Tim asks, keeping his voice non-judgmental. Fuck, fuck.
“Mostly?” Oh thank god. “I can–I can usually keep my head above water. Um. We never really needed to–it, usually if anyone ever went into the bay, it was ‘cause they were dead or blocked, so no one really–none of us–”
Tim needs to cut this off, now. “I’ll give you the tips and tricks, okay?” Calm. Calm, steady. Be there, be a rock for him, that he can’t fucking use to stay above water, because you're not there–
In a voice small enough that Tim has to strain to hear it above the water, Jason says, “Okay.”
OR: Jaybin drowns. All Tim can do is hope he isn't too late.

Summary
It wasn’t supposed to go like this.
A hand smaller than his, warmer than his, bruised fingers and stained with blood, grabs onto one of his hands and squeezes. Jason tugs himself closer with the grip and leans forward until Jason’s head is resting against his shoulder. “Can we go home now, Tim?” he whispers.
Yes. Corpse or alive, it’s time to bring Robin home.
OR:
Robin has been captured for a week. Red Hood goes in to save him. It brings up some... unpleasant memories.
Will Tim be able to work past them to get Jason home safe? And what about the aftermath?[reverse robins]

Summary
Jason is young in heart, mind, and body. He is fresh flesh and hot blood, Gotham homegrown and Park Row cultivated, cut from kindness and Crime Alley mettle.
Jason knows a lot of things and hungers still for more. One simple truth he knows is that they do not talk about Tim Drake, his predecessor, a heavy shadow he leans into. But he thinks maybe they should, because he could swear that he saw Tim at the bodega buying a tuna sandwich last Tuesday night.
Or, the one where Damian is the oldest, Tim dies instead of Jason, the Flying Graysons still fall, and everything else that comes between and after.

Summary
[From Tumblr]: Good cop bad cop but Jim Gordon (the good cop) is passed out from blood loss and exhaustion and Batman (the obvious bad cop) bundles everyone involved (including his kids) into a corner booth at a 24 hour diner and proceeds to interrogate the suspect over shitty diner coffee and the sounds of his kids force feeding Commissioner Gordon apple pie and french fries.
It's the most intimidating interrogation that has ever taken place in Gotham.
(or, the one where May’s Diner has seen everything Gotham has to offer at night. almost everything, at least)

Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

Summary
Sometimes, Clarisse still feels like she can't breathe. Tremors settle in her lungs then, a bloody battle she fights all on her own with every breath. Sometimes she thinks she's choking on Silena's blood, and the image of her beautiful, burnt features is etched into her mind like little else.
She always ends up with Percy. Maybe because he's easy to be around now – probably because he understands. He understands what it's like to not be able to sleep. He knows what it's like to watch everyone laugh while the war still rages on in his heart. He knows what it's like when he feels like too much blood is on his hands and clogs up his throat.
People think they're strangely close now. She's just tired, and Percy is too.

Summary
“Damian,” Bruce says, very slowly, “do you know someone named Jason Todd?”
Damian frowns at him. “No?”
“Real tall guy,” the Joker suddenly pipes up from the holding cell, “white streak in his hair. Kinda looks like Bruce Wayne, if you ask me!”
Damian blinks. “Oh. Well, I do know a Jason that fits that description, but his last name is not Todd.”
“What the hell is it then?”
Damian frowns harder. “Al Ghul.”
And just like that, Bruce’s worldview goes to complete and utter shit.
—
Or: Jason decides that if someone has to be a monster in this world’s shadows, it might as well be him. This decision might’ve been influenced by the fact that Talia al Ghul decided to spring her son on him and also gaslight everyone into believing that Jason is her eldest child. Also, he kills his pseudo-grandfather and kind of accidentally becomes the new R’as al Ghul, because by now, he’s way too deep in Talia’s con-shit to back out.
…It all goes over surprisingly well.

Their strange encounter in the clearing, how Sokka was willing to defend Zuko, the fact that they hugged...
Sweet Tui and La, Katara suddenly realizes. He’s not just infiltrating the group — he’s flirting. With Sokka.
Or: In which the years-long friendship between Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko looks a lot like romance to 14-year-old Katara.
Alternatively: Five times Katara misunderstood Sokka and Zuko’s relationship, and one time the boys tried to clear things up.

“Sokka,” Fire Lord Zuko speaks up. “Are you done talking to them? Because if so-”
“Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”
“Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”
Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.

Summary
“But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.
There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”
“I don’t understand."
“I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.
~
Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.
…It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.
