    Summary

    [In rare moments of whimsy and indulgence—usually accompanied by cake—Azula would sometimes think of herself as one part of a triangle. Half of a paired dao. The northern point of a compass, even, always guiding straight and true.

    But she thinks, as she contemplates the single cowering candleflame and the stifling darkness, that perhaps she’s been a lone flame all along.

    No matter, though. Zuzu claims to have changed. Maybe Azula will change, too. Maybe she will forge herself into a spear, instead, striking straight and true. Or an arrow in the night. A knife in the dark.

    Her eyes flick up to where Zuko just disappeared from her sight, and she snaps, sharp, precise, and feels lightning-tinged fire arc off her fingertips.

    Or in the back.]

    Or,

    Six years after the war, Azula has finally reached her age of majority and is about to be crowned Zuko’s heir. If only Sokka could shake the feeling that she’s plotting something…

    If only Azula could keep Water Tribe from bumbling into her plots.

    Summary

    Aang, Katara, and Toph are worried. Air, fire, water, earth—none of their bending is acting right, and it only seems to be getting worse, not better. They’re determined to get to the bottom of it, whether it’s a Spirit imbalance or energybending gone wrong or something else entirely.

    Sokka thinks the explanation might be a little more mundane than that. He just needs to do a little research first to confirm it. Good thing the International Summit means there are plenty of people around who might have the answers.

    OR,

    Aang, Katara, and Toph’s bending is changing in ways they can’t control or anticipate, in ways they’ve never experienced before. Sokka thinks it sounds pretty familiar.

    OR,

    How Sokka gives a room full of international dignitaries The Talk.

    Summary

    Zuko has a long list of reparations to make as the Fire Lord, but there are a few he has to make as himself.

    He’s much more nervous about those ones, unfortunately.

    Summary

    Zuko was really hoping that the disaster that lead to his life on the Akhlut would be a once in a lifetime event. Unfortunately he is demonstrably unlucky, and things never happen the same way twice.

    Or: Zuko takes a tumble just when he's thinking about getting comfortable in his new life, and gets fished out by a less than sympathetic group of Earth benders.
