Summary
Zuko choked on a sob and, impossibly, Lu Ten’s ghost gripped his hand tighter.
“I’m here, baby cousin, I’m here.” Said the ghost of Lu Ten, and Zuko felt warm fingers brush gently across his scalp, carding through Zuko’s sweat-soaked hair.
“M’ sorry that you’re dead,” Zuko wept, pressing his head feverishly into the touch, “I miss you. I miss you so much.”
Featuring a still very much alive Lu Ten, the slow revival of Zuko's self esteem, and how ending a war begins at home.

Summary
Azula, his baby sister, the one person he’s never been able to save, who he loathes and wants dead and loves more than anything.
(A desperate plea for her to join him even though he was already long gone. He’s a coward. He’s pathetic.
He’s her brother.)
---
Zuko is trapped in the caves with Sokka instead, and ends up joining the Gaang early. Azula goes home empty handed. Somehow, they still find their way back to each other.Bookmarked by TheWriter2

Summary
Everything happened in the space of a breath.
The Yu Yen archer’s arrow arced through the air, aimed to strike Zuko squarely between his eyes.
The Avatar began to glow, rising into the air as Zuko’s clothes rustled from a strong wind.
Boom.
The wind stopped.
The glow went out.
The Avatar fell into Zuko’s arms.
—When Aang is struck by the Yu Yen Archer’s arrow, Zuko goes from being the Avatar’s capturer to the Avatar’s caretaker. But it’s fine! He’s just biding his time. Fetching frogs for the Avatar’s friends while he waits is only logical.
But… the Avatar seems to be getting weaker. If Zuko doesn’t do something, there may not be an Avatar to capture.

Summary
“You’re not your family, Zuko,” Sokka says immediately, like it’s a reflex, like he genuinely believes it.
“Does it matter?” Zuko says. “In the grand scheme of things, does it really fucking matter? Does it matter to the waterbenders who were kidnapped and killed under my grandfather’s command? Does it matter to the war orphans, the war children, who have lost their families and houses and limbs to the fire of my nation’s soldiers? Does it matter to the fifteen-year-olds getting drafted for the war effort, the ones the generals of my father’s council call kindling? Does it matter to the—” Zuko cuts himself off, chest heaving, eyes burning. “Does it matter to the Air Nomads?”
The hottest day of the year comes just before the end of the world.

Summary
That night, with Appa snoring next to them and Katara snuggled against his shoulder, Aang breathed and counted. He raked his mind for very little tradition, every little custom, everything he could remember about Air Nomad culture. Otherwise, it dies with me, he’d thought, suddenly terrified. It dies with me.
At ten, you become responsible for your own air bison. They’re companions for life. At eleven, each airbending child gets the chance to visit the wenwú shí of their Temple. At twelve, the standards become higher; assisting the air nuns and monks is your top priority. Thirteen, the first taste of travel; at the Eastern Air Temple, the Shēnqíng de hú will be the start of your spiritual journey. Fourteen is the age of enlightenment; with the mastering of your element, the arrows start being drawn over your skin.
It’s a long process, and a sacred one. Each age brings with it something new; with each age, something grows.
Needless to say, Aang hasn’t gotten a lot of experience with that.
Or, Aang never really stops grieving. Featuring Air Nomad culture, birthdays, and a conversation on a rooftop.

The Sun will Rise Again (With the Two of us as Friends) by Spidergirl1809
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
12 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
For a hundred years, war and devastation consumed the world. Aang was one of only people left to remember that it ever used to be different. To remember that there was a time when sixteen year old boys weren’t dressed in armor and sent to commit acts of violence, and twelve year old kids weren’t meant to stop them. To remember having friends in the Fire Nation. To remembers walking through Caldera City with Kuzon, choking on Fire Flakes, and watching street performers.
So now that Zuko was here asking for redemption...well, being friends sounded better than being enemies.
Maybe their friendship was destined to be. Maybe together they could bring back some of what was lost.
(AKA, After Zuko joins the Gaang, Aang gets to know him and they become friends).

Summary
Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.
Or,
Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

Summary
They reached the fork in the road where they’d split—one path leading off toward Hikaru’s house, the other toward Yoshiki’s. They slowed.
With his back still turned, Hikaru murmured, “I can protect you, y’know. From anything.”
Yoshiki blinked.
Hikaru’s voice was quiet. Steady. Almost gentle. “Long as you stay by my side, I’ll keep you safe. I’ll consume whatever tries to take you from me.”

Summary
Things might have gone differently, had he not held me in his arms then. Had I not looked at him, with his own eyes, he might more easily have left me there in the straw.
Then it would not have been so hard for him, I think; to surrender me to another man’s care as I believe he had intended to do. It would have been the wiser choice. I would have remained an open secret: a transgression, once acknowledged, then discreetly set aside. Prince Chivalry’s honour would have suffered a bruising, but it would have remained intact.
Had my father not claimed me, he might still be alive.
But I named him. And with the old power that names hold, I sealed him to it, and thus to his fate. My father raised me as he would a true-born son, in a court where all recognised me as a catalyst.
And a Catalyst I became.

“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.

Summary
Iwaizumi Hajime has a ring on his finger.
A simple gold band with modest silver trimming resting snuggly on the fourth finger of his left hand.
Hajime is only 23 years old, is only in the midst of the second year of his post-graduate degree, and to Charlie’s apparently outdated knowledge, has been single at the very least since his move to America a little over a year ago.
Imagine his surprise when the dude came waltzing back after a month-long break, with a wedding ring on his finger, legally wed, and not speaking a word about it.
In which Hajime gets married and his friends in California have no idea who the lucky woman is.- Language:

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”
Or
In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

Summary
He clears his throat. Annabeth’s face burns as she realizes she’s been ogling him for likely an entire minute. She lets out a squeak before she turns around, gluing her eyes back to the photos on his wall. Something safe to look at.
“You’re allowed to look,” he says. He sounds amused, like he’s teasing her.
“No, I’m pretty sure I’m not.” Her voice is an octave higher than usual. He lets out a laugh. She does not let her gaze stray from the wall.//
Annabeth and Percy have been dating for about a week. Annabeth has absolutely no clue what she's doing.

Summary
“Despite how unappealing it seemed to be, Percy gulped and squared his shoulders as he knelt down by the girl’s side. He tried to make himself as comfortable as possible before he hesitantly put his hands up until they made contact with the cold sky. And then he put some effort behind it and suddenly he felt like something was trying to squash him into a two-dimensional character.
“What…?” The girl’s eyes opened a little and she turned her head just enough to look at Percy.
His vision was a little blurry from the exertion but he could tell she was baffled by his presence there. “You needed help,” was all he managed to say before he groaned in pain and closed his eyes tightly.”
---
Percy has no idea why Kronos and Luke do the things that they do, but he has no other options left, really. So he does as he's told (most of the time) and kind of just thinks there's nobody else he can turn to for answers.
Until he meets Annabeth and crouches down to help her carry the sky. Then things start to steer in the right direction, at long last.
