    Summary

    "Akai Kotou," Jian Li says, "means Solitary Red Island. It's the name Rangi gave to her lover's home. It's the name given to Kyoshi Island by the children of Fire."

    .

    When Aang, Sokka, and Katara arrive at Kyoshi Island, they're only looking for a place to rest for the night. They don't expect to find new allies, soul-deep connections, and a myriad of secrets.

    (Sometimes, Zuko forgets that Jian Li isn't his real name. But now it's time to start remembering.)

    Or: that one where young Luo Binghe’s career goal is ‘Bride’.

    ---

    Shen Yuan shut his eyes as a young man waiting to die in a hospital and opened them again as a wrinkly infant covered in substances best left unimagined.

    Summary

    Almost a century ago, Essek had met a person who shaped the entirety of his life. A human, disguised as a drow, somehow alive and well despite being in the very centre of the Dynasty. A brilliant wizard disguised as a merchant, somehow capable of casting dunamancy. And not just any spells - Essek didn't even know one could possess such power.

    Now, standing in the shadows of the Bright Queen's throne, looking at the ragtag group in front of them, he barely kept his hands from shaking. One of the intruders, a red-haired human, looked exactly like that mysterious man from his past, but a decade or so younger.

    Humans didn't live that long. And they certainly didn't age in reverse.

    This was impossible.

    Summary

    "And what sort of story is Shizun's favorite?" Luo Binghe asks, not really caring about the answer. Luo Binghe's shizun is an air-headed man who hides his inanity behind his fan; surely, whatever it is that Shen Qingqiu deems to read in his free time, it must be something equally ridiculous and superficial. Probably romance, Luo Binghe thinks. Perhaps cultivation adventure stories where the hero always gets the girl and slays evil.

    Shen Qingqiu flips his fan open to hide his face. "Revenge stories," he replies.

    AU where Luo Binghe is raised by Tianlang-Jun. When Yue Qingyuan kills his father, Luo Binghe resolves to settle the score.

    Summary

    “I would never trust the word of an Oathbreaker”

    “It is unwise to trust a bloody Sharran”

    Shadowheart sees him as a godless, traitorous, and highly dangerous brute who abandoned his oaths for power—a bloodthirsty Oathbreaker unworthy of trust. She should never allow herself to be allied with the likes of him.

    Balehrys sees her as a self-serving, deceitful, and manipulative worshipper of Shar—a bloody Sharran filled with her Lady’s darkness and secrets. Even with his tattered oaths and his dark urges, he knew she was dangerous. He ought to kill the likes of her.

    Yet, he saves her life, and she joins him on a perilous journey for a cure. All despite their mutual mistrust and own prejudices against each other. And neither of them knew that both of them would eventually set each other free.

    Summary

    The Yiling Patriarch is a living legend—a terrifying, ancient force of nature, dispensing punishment or reward with implacable, indifferent fairness.

    Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is a weird but oddly charming guy who wanders around the cultivation world making fun of people's art and mooching food from sect leaders.

    It really upsets people to find out that they're the same person.

    Summary

    “For those of you who just transferred into this class or simply decided that day one wasn’t important enough to attend, I’m Professor Hale. Welcome to English 346, The American Novel.”

    Stiles is pretty sure his mouth is hanging open right now and that his eyes are wide with shock, because holy fuck, he thinks he knows why his students transferred. Hell, if he was still an undergrad, he probably would have transferred, too.

    (Or: In which Stiles is a Biology professor and Derek thinks he's a student.)

    Note: French translation by the lovely enso-infinite now available (link inside)!

    Summary

In a bid of desperation, he finds himself wrapped into an unlikely alliance with a group of adventurers ostensibly trying to find a cure for their shared affliction as he tries to piece himself back together. There is something oddly and unpleasantly familiar about several of his traveling companions, but the answers are lost in the tatters of his mind.

    Summary

    "There were curious hands grasping at their spine, exploring the misshapen vertebrae and the strained discs in between.

    There was cold hard stone beneath them, wet with blood and sweat.

    And there was pain. Their entire body was in pain. Everything hurt."

    Summary

    He’d expected the pain. And the carnage. And the helplessness. But he hadn’t expected the shame: ever Bhaal’s puppet to the last, he was forced to bear witness to a macabre play of his crimes against the backdrop of his blooded eyelids. Because of course — of course — Bhaal would treat his prodigal son to one last nightmare, made all the more monstrous by its reality. Hundreds ended by his hand rendered little more than faces warped in shock and horror — for most, the only scrap of memory he’d ever have of them.

    It turns out Bhaal does not take kindly to being told "no."
