    Summary

    His dad wanted to make sure he was always loved, always taken care of. Chris knew with his entire being that if his dad couldn't be the one loving and taking care of him then there was no one who would do a better job of it than Buck.

    But apparently, this 'Evan' guy was written in his dad's will as the person to take care of Chris.

    But that's stupid, that's the stupidest thing Chris ever heard. Chris needed to know that if he couldn't be taken care of by his dad then he'd be taken care of by Buck.

    There was only one way Chris could make sure Buck would be the one taking care of him. He needed Buck to adopt him, as his stepfather.

    It was a great idea, really. Chris didn't know why he's never thought of it before.

    It was a win-win-win scenario. Chris got to be taken care of by his dad and Buck, his dad and Buck each got to marry their best friend, and this Evan guy could never take Chris away from Buck if his dad got hurt.

    So, obviously, his dad had to marry Buck. All they had to do was fall in love. Chris didn't think that would be too hard for them.

    //OR//

    After Eddie gets shot, Chris overhears a conversation about the will.

    Summary

    Based off this Tumblr text post by s4mm4n:
    God I miss the days when you could show up to a strangers farm and he’d say “Whats your name, boy?” and you’d take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply “Why I aint got one sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me one” and he’d tell you he’s real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do for you and you’d tell him that you can’t read nor even write neither but you’re mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and won’t ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and he’d keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who aint for married even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of you’d get to talking and he’d throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinking from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again he’d take a sip from it too real slow-like like it weren’t the whiskey what he were tryna savor

    WARNING: Halfway through this story, it becomes about family loss and tuberculosis.

    Summary

    Zuko does not survive that first fateful Agni Kai.

    But no matter how much Ozai strives to pretend otherwise, the Old Gods are not dead.

    And the Old Gods are angry.
