Summary
Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

Discretion (aka A Human Education) by DS9ItchtoScratch

Summary
They were enlightened humans. They did not take matters into their own hands. They did not take revenge, or give into violence.
But if Julian never said anything then Dukat would keep flying around free. If he did say something then tensions with Cardassia would overshadow every step of whatever due process took place – if any at all. The attack took place on a Cardassian ship, Dukat would claim it was consensual by Cardassian laws, and Julian would be put right in the middle of an interstellar, multi-empire, public, rape allegation.
Sisko growled under his breath. Dukat was going to get away with it. He had raped Sisko’s officer and he was going to get away with it.
Maybe humans were only enlightened until they had a reason not to be.

Summary
"To Liberty"
Originally written for this prompt on rogueone kinkmeme:
The reason Cassian is fighting for the Alliance is because they own him. Maybe Kraven bought/rescued him and secretly kept him. Or maybe Cassian had to sell himself for a huge favor and someone in the Alliance owns him.
+ this explains why he says to Jyn that he disobeyed orders and she wouldn't understand (also Chirrut mentions that he carries his prison wherever he goes so he kinda knows)
++ Cassian has learnt to hide his injuries/punishments over the years so he avoids medical assistance like the plague (he programmed k2 to help)
+++ After failing to kill Galen, Cassian submits himself for punishment for disobeying orders and he hides the aftermath from the crew
++++ Cassian and crew are saved as he has a tracker/implant +++++ crew finds out about everything and they free Cassian (extra angst if he doesn't know it at first and thinks his ownership is merely transferred)
++++++ Cassian being matter of fact about being used and beaten- Words:

Summary
Barnes, 107th Infantry 32557038.
Barnes is not Bucky. Barnes is not the Winter Soldier. Barnes doesn't know who he is, or even sometimes, what he is.
Maybe Tony Stark can help him figure that out. Or maybe, if he just gets all the tools, he can fix Tony along the way too.

Summary
Zuko is a smart kid. He knows many things, like the first five katas from the advanced set his tutors started him on, and the defeat of the Xachu Island rebellions of 44 AG. He knows that Azula was the one who stomped up all of the garden roses two weeks ago, even though she told their mother it was a servant boy.
He knows that when he notices a faint burn on the inner curve of his wrist and hears the ticking of clock gears when there's no clocks to be found, he should tell exactly nobody.
Or,
A soulmate timer AU, where soulmates are those whose paths will have great impact on your own, but fate is more easily swayed by choices than it would seem. If both of you make it to a certain point in your lives and your relationship together, the timer goes off, cementing the roles you will have for each other. Until then, anything can happen.Zuko has five potential soulmates. This changes surprisingly little, in the grand scheme of things.
(Requested by my friend for her birthday, who said, "you know what would be cool? More ATLA family soulmate AUs." And I said "what a great gift idea!" made it into a character study and proceeded to sit on it for two years. Whoops. Happy birthday!)

Summary
Zuko and the Gaang take a quick trip to town to gather the supplies they desperately need. Get in, shop, get out. Easy right? Except, of course, if you're really bad at laying low - or at not showing people your super secret air-bending tattoos.
Great. It seems like this time it's Zuko's turn to carry the braincell, and prevent Aang from being taken to the Fire Nation's newest cult leader.Alternatively:

Summary
This is a Kakashi-centric fan comic centering around the events that occurred when Kakashi was five years old, from his early graduation to his father’s suicide.
Please note that this is a story about a child soldier living in a world where being raised for war is commonplace, so there is a global content warning for this sort of child abuse, gore/violence, and death.

Summary
What if Héctor made it on that train? What if he didn't collapse in the street on the way home? He reached the station, climbed on board, and began the trip back to see his family after so long apart.
...But not because Ernesto didn't share a final toast with him. Not because his best friend had a change of heart at the last moment about poisoning him. Héctor reached the train because Ernesto didn't use enough to kill him immediately.

Summary
There were moments where Bucky wondered what could have made Iron Man, possibly his best friend here in the future, sarcastic and gentle and funny and caring, hate Tony Stark so much. Moments where he wondered what Tony Stark, who could manage to be kind and generous to the assassin who had murdered his parents, could have done to Iron Man. But he never dared to ask, afraid of the answer.

Summary
Toph does not need anyone, certainly not the whiny Avatar or his bossy friend. Thank you very much, she's totally fine on her own. Zuko is sick of the Earth Kingdom and he just wants to go home. He really shouldn't stop when he witnesses some thugs threatening another stray kid, but he does. The chance encounter changes everything.
S2 AU - where Toph and Zuko run into each other mid-Chase and end up going on a field trip together. (I upped the rating to T for some mild cussing - just to be on the safe side).

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.

The captain told him, “Take a break. You’ve done more work than a dozen men would be willing to do in a lifetime, Baijiu. Relax. Stay with this papermaker’s family for a bit, they seem to like you enough.”
Baijiu’s fingers twitched.
