I Wear My Chains; You Call Them Gold by Machina_Fun_T

Summary
According to the history annals of the Republic, the Je'daii civil war between the Sith and Jedi factions was won by the Jedi, defeating the Brotherhood of Darkness and reclaiming the name Je'daii. The Ruusan Reformation disbanded all Je'daii military forces, bringing them under the purview of the Republic, and tasking them with the large job of Galactic Peacekeeping.
According to the history annals of the Je'daii Order, the Sith won the civil war. The Ruusan Reformation is just one of many ways they have of keeping those who subscribe to the Jedi way of things unable to restart the war. The others are... less pleasant.
Of course, that just means that the Jedi are even more determined to break free. They've had 1,000 years to come up with a plan. They're ready to break their chains.

Summary
Zuko realizes that whatever sickness is affecting his appetite has consequences of not eating and then not getting enough sun.
-----
A short take of MuffinLance's new AU, Fire Lily, where strong firebenders can get energy from the sun and don't need to eat. Only I added that if there is a sudden cut off from the sun then the body resets to needing food and if they haven't been eating decently they feel the starvation. Basically how even if a plant needs sunlight to grow and stay a live it still needs nutrients from the soil. -

Zuko’s a different person when they’re alone like this. He’ll talk to Aang, quiet and serious, his dark hair falling in his eyes. He is patient with Aang’s mistakes, and his hands are gentle when he guides Aang’s faltering movements. He isn’t anything like Aang thought he would be as a teacher.
If only the others could see him like this, Aang thinks with a pang. They’d like him.

Summary
Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”
The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.
