    Summary

    "You mind telling us what happened out there?" The earthbender then questioned. "How'd you manage to fall like that?"
    "Yeah, I thought you were stronger than that," Sokka said a smirk plastered on his face. Zuko groaned, gripping his still-tingling hands. “I thought I was too,” Zuko admitted quietly. His voice was hoarse, exhaustion clear in his tone. “But... lightning damage isn’t something you can just walk off.”

    Or
    When Ozai shot Zuko with lightning, Zuko managed to redirect it. But what if, despite him doing that, the bolt still left some damage? What if because of that, Zuko's hands were too weak to hold him on the root when Combustion Man attacked?

    Even as the self-proclaimed Plan Guy, Sokka has to admit he never saw this one coming.

    Or: Zuko doesn’t make it out of the Fire Nation unscathed. Cue a whumpy rewrite of “The Western Air Temple.”

    Summary

    As soon as Zuko heard the clang, his heart froze.
    He had dropped the wrench.
    The guards escorting him to the cooler paused. "What's this?" one of them asked in a condescending tone. "It looks like a wrench," the other responded, a smirk spreading across his face as he picked it up and weighed it in his palm.
    "Planning to fix the cooler while you're in there?" the first guard sneered, holding open the heavy door.
    Zuko didn't answer. He couldn't. His pulse was roaring in his ears, his heart pounding. Anything he said now could and would be used against him. "Search him, maybe he has more."

    Summary

    Zuko turned his head. "There's someone else in there! We have to do something!" he shouted over the roar of the flames.

    His colleague Jet grabbed him by the arm. "Zuko, it's too late! We can't go back in there—the smoke will kill us!".

    "How can you say that?!" he snapped angry.

    Jet pointed at the inferno, his eyes wide: "Look at the fire! If you go in there, you'll never come out!".

    Zuko breathed heavily but his gaze was determined. "Then so be it. I'm going."

    "Zuko, NO!" several voices shouted at once as he started to run.

    The flames lashed out at him like a living monster. The heat pressed against his skin. This is madness. But there's someone in there. And if he gives up now, they'll die.

    Summary

    Above the motel, the streetlights bathed the parking lot in a warm yellow hue, dulling the wind's bite blowing off the prairie. This wasn't the first time Dean had ended up in the middle of buttfuck nowhere responsible for more that could be asked of him; the sign leading into town read 'A Great Place to Live' in weather-worn paint. Looking at the greasy tinted glass of the front office, Dean had a hard time believing that.

     

    Or- Going back to live with his father after spending time at Sonny's Boys' Home, Dean realizes that he and Sam need to get away from John's care. In an attempt to run away from their dad's abusive house, Dean takes Sam across the state of South Dakota to find refuge with their family friend, Bobby.
