Summary
Inspired by heroic myths and legends, a young slugcat has left her colony in the Outer Expanse in search of adventure. Her travels turn out to be a lot less of a ''hero's journey'' though and more of a ''getting-snacked-on-by-every-creature-you-come-across hike.''
But as she attempts to scurry back home with her tail between her legs, the slugcat comes across a strange creature the likes of which no one's ever seen before. It moves weird, it sounds weird, it only has hair growing from the top of its head, and it has this unnatural desire to ''pet'' everything.
With the gate to the Outer Expanse closed off, and danger lurking around every corner, the two begin to form a bond as they travel together towards the giant superstructure in the distance. In a world as cruel and unforgiving as this one, perhaps the only thing that may last is an unexpected friendship between two creatures strayed far beyond.

Summary
Then, being the voice of reason and mediator that he is, Uncle Iroh stepped forward. ''Ever since my nephew ascended to the throne he has yearned for peace and closure. Finding Ursa might give him that. And not just him…''
Aang, who stood beside him, followed his gaze to the Fire Nation Princess. She stood there with her arms crossed, watching the entire scene unfold. Aang didn't interact much with her in the past. But from the few times he did, he knew Azula was dangerous and not to be underestimated. Letting her go on a life-changing field trip with them was simply asking for trouble.
But if he were told in the past that Zuko was going to have a change of heart and join them, he wouldn't have believed it either. And now he was one of his best friends. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for her too.
OR
After the Hundred Year War, Azula is held at a psychiatric hospital until Zuko seeks out her help to find their mother. Azula embarks on a journey of self-discovery where she comes to question everything she knows about The Fire Nation, family, destiny, and herself.
Is there such a thing as redemption? Even for a monster?

Summary
After discovering what Ozai was going to do to Zuko, Ursa knew she'd have to get her children out of there. But being on the run with two young kids proved to be a strenuous endeavor. And Azula, who grows more and more skeptical of their little ''vacation,'' doesn't make it any easier on her mother when she decides to take off alone.
The unexpected kindness of a stranger may be the only thing that can still save them.

Summary
“I took Ba Sing Se, not Uncle, and certainly not you; I got us this far. You’re stealing what’s rightfully mine. If anyone should get to see this, it’s me, and you should be grateful I’m here because you couldn’t end the war on your own!”
The words are tremulous with emotion, rushing and almost painful for how they scrape past her teeth, and still, even she knows they sound petulant—a child’s concern. But she is loud, and more than that, she’s right. All Azula has ever wanted is the respect of standing at her father’s side and—pitifully—the love inherent to the honor. She can’t lose it when she’s this close.
But then Azula’s father steps towards her, and his fist is wreathed in fire, the temperature of his flame so hot it’s blue—her blue—where it’s closest to his skin.
Azula hardly has time to process what’s going to happen before his palm meets her cheek in a slap.
//
The day before Sozin’s Comet returns, Azula finds that Zuko is not the only child her father is willing to strike, and Azula’s destiny changes.

Summary
The Saint has begun yet another excursion, to undo what cannot be undone.
Cultures leave marks on the world. For the ancients, those marks are iterators. While their architecture and memory will fade and allow new life to thrive, their robotic gods do not die easily. The Saint is responsible for dealing with problems like that.
But on their quest to find a few specific collapsed iterators, they find an odd red slugcat. A warmonger, a carnivore, an Artificer. And despite their anger, despite their coldness… Saint cannot help but find something in them.
And perhaps, with his help… she will find something in herself.
It’s an artisaint au!! Saint and arti are going on a journey to find love, and the iterators. And probably the worm pond, eventually. emphasis on AU by the way. Saint has some tricks up his sleeve. :)
