    Summary

    Zuko is trying his best, he really is, but it's hard when the whole world is working against him.

    At least he has uncle. And his crew. And the Avatar.

    Summary

    “Your lungs have collapsed. You can barely breathe on your own. Aang’s been keeping you alive with airbending.”

    Oh. That explains a lot. Zuko can’t do anything but choke in response.

    Thankfully, the Water Tribe boy isn’t looking for a response. “Not even four hours ago, Katara was the only thing keeping you from bleeding out on the pier. You’re probably just minutes away from being back where you were then.” He accentuates his point by gently applying more pressure to Zuko’s injury. Fucking ow. “You need them. If you want to stay alive, you don’t try anything. Okay?”

    Shit.

    . . .

    When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him.

    Summary

    Post-Chosen, Buffy's struggling to adjust to the new status quo of her life: no longer the only Slayer, but still The Slayer. The one in charge. Propelled to investigate a strange blip on the magical radar, Buffy finds herself in Duluth, Minnesota and much more than she bargained for.

    Meanwhile, Spike has come back from the brink himself, only to be entirely at loose ends. No purpose, no guiding light, he gets himself out of LA and into a mess of, well, not hot water, that's for certain.

    AKA, Buffy and Spike reunite in my home state and they hate it.

    Written for EF's 2026 Challenge Month, answering werehorse's challenge of Spuffy vs. YOUR favorite local cryptid, which I've had my eye on for months. This has been a lovely excuse to get Spuffy to Minnesota.

    Summary

    Who said jealousy was an ugly emotion? Spike thinks it looks gorgeous on his girl.

    When a near miss momentarily puts Buffy's true feelings in the spotlight, Spike immediately craves an encore. After all, he and Anya are sick of being treated like clowns, so it's time for a death-defying double act to treat their formers to a glittering spectacle. Whether they like it or not.

    So come one, come all, boys and girls of all ages! Step under the Big Top and direct your attention to the center ring. The whole beautiful show is about to begin...
