Summary
“I can’t stand it sometimes,” Katara says, shoulders tense, and the words begin flowing out of her like they’d been stuck in her throat this whole time. “How he thinks violence is unreasonable. How he says it makes us no better than them. Violence is the only language they speak. They won’t look at me being good or kind or peaceful and think to themselves, hey, maybe we should be better people. Violence is what got them here and is what keeps them where they are. They don’t understand anything but violence, they won’t respond to anything else. We won’t win this war with a friendly talk or compromise.” She all but spits out the word. “If they wanted a different world, they should’ve created a better one.”
Zuko and Katara search for a murderer. Violence is a starting point and a destination.

Summary
“Yes,” Glinda calls out to the crowd, and her voice feels like it belongs to someone else, her entire body feels like it belongs to someone else. “The Wicked Witch of the West is dead.”
My friend, Elphaba, is dead. I loved her more than — I loved her like my head, like myself. She was killed and I did nothing to stop it. She was killed and I stood offstage, in the dark of the wings, and how much I loved her matters little now. My friend, Elphaba. My Elphaba.
Galinda Upland and the three rules of tragedy.

Summary
Zuko says there are pockets of rebellion in the Fire Nation, that not everyone agrees with what the Fire Lord is doing. Standing there, Sokka doesn’t believe him. Maybe people protest Ozai, but not enough, and maybe they oppose him, but not enough. This is the street of money in the city of money in this great country of money, and the people are going out to grab a bite with their non-dead children in tow.
La. How many times can you lick a wound before the taste of blood loses its novelty.
A haunted house by the shoreline.

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
Lan Zhan had said, “You are not a monster.” Cold, calloused hand in the soft underbelly of Wei Wuxian’s wrist, pulse jackrabbiting in his own ears and now beneath Lan Zhan’s fingers. “This is what it means to be a person.”
Wei Wuxian’s voice trembled when he could gather enough air to respond. “Would a person do what I have done?”
“Lived and lost and grieved,” Lan Zhan had murmured, to Wei Wuxian’s soft, contrary scoff. “Yes, I would hope so. Any one person is capable of being monstrous. Not all of them would shed your tears. And this is what it means to be a person.”
“To shed a few tears?” Wei Wuxian asked, a trembling, teasing shadow of a smile on his face.
“To regret,” Lan Zhan replied. “Now, let us sleep.”
or, a story told in a dark room.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Summary
It takes a second, but the realization Jason comes to is horrifying.
“You dosed yourself. With Joker venom.”
Tim nods, still smiling, still shivering. At least the laughter has tapered off, not that that really makes this better, not that anything could make this better.Series
