Summary
“I think they made a mistake when I was born. Everybody says I’m a girl but I feel like a boy. We should tell everyone I’m a prince, not a princess. Then they wouldn’t say the wrong things anymore.”
“Zuzu, honey, you mustn’t say things like that.” His mother grabs his shoulder firmly.
“Why not?”
She doesn’t answer for a long time, gazing at the pond before finally turning back to him, the tranquility on her face contrasting with the urgency of her grip.
“It could make people very angry.”
“Like how Father gets angry?”
“...Yes, your father would get very angry.”
“Oh. Okay.”

i think its time i conclude these tests (and begin the rest of my life) by carouselofrats

Summary
This was not mercy. This was not kindness or care or love. Before he met his palisman he wouldn’t have been able to tell, would have complied without a thought. But Flapjack had shown them happiness. For some ungodly reason, he had been deemed worthy of this bird’s companionship without being useful in return. Before meeting him, their life had been dull. He couldn’t go back to what it was like before. He couldn’t. Hunter spoke before they even realized what they were saying.
“No.”

(aka my take on your typical "Hunter leaves the Emperor's Coven and gets adopted by Eda" fic. It is canon compliant for everything before Follies at the Coven Day Parade.) -
5 Times Remus Helped the Others and 1 Time They Helped Him by carouselofrats

Summary
Remus would probably be the last side to be associated with anything normal, which was precisely why he found it easy to tell that something was decidedly not normal in the atmosphere of the mindscape after the wedding. Everybody just seemed so... down in the dumps.
But what did it matter anyways? None of the others had ever done anything for him, so it wasn’t like he really cared anyways. Obviously. Of course he didn't.
(he did.)

Nothing at All and I Resent the Question by carouselofrats

Summary
Deceit stood up, bringing out his hook and pulling Logan off of the screen. The logical side landed a bit roughly in his room, mirroring his usual position in Thomas’ living room.
“My apologies, Logan. I’m afraid my summoning abilities are a bit rusty and… unusual. Lovely room you have, by the way.”
aka my interpretation of what happened between Logan and Janus during POF when he was dragged off screen.

The Missing Hat (And What It Hides) by carouselofrats

Summary
Janus was panicking. His first movie night with the other Sides was in just a few minutes and he was missing his hat. He couldn’t let them see him without it, everybody had only just made up with each other and he’d lose all of the rapport he’d worked so hard to build up with the others if they did.
Janus felt like the mindscape had played a cruel trick on him. The others’ hair was all so beautiful… and yet he had gotten stuck with the mess he currently saw in the mirror. It was curly. Too curly; and ugly in comparison to the wonderful way that Patton’s curled. To add insult to injury, Janus’ hair just had to be blonde: a bright, platinum blonde.

Summary
Akaashi hates the zeros on his wrist. They're just a constant reminder that the whole soulmate thing didn't work out for him. However, he'd rather have the zeros than have it reset. How will he break it to the person that he's just not interested?

Summary
When Sokka got captured by the Prince of the Fire Nation, he didn't think he'd go from "This is the enemy" to "I need to know everything about that guy" so fast. Somehow, he did.
---------------------
When Zuko captured the Avatar's companion, he didn't expect to be confronted with so much of the things he'd buried over the years. Somehow, he did.

“Hello, my name is Joo Lee,” says a young man in cheery spring green, his smile stretched to the point of pain. “I have been given the great honor of showing the Avatar around Ba Sing Se.”
“Zuko?!”
