Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
There was a countdown timer, labelled 'two weeks', behind Shane’s eyes, counting down every single second dutifully, no matter what. Every day, every night, every meal, every laugh, every fuck, constantly the timer was counting down, no matter how much Shane was screaming internally to appreciate what he had right then before it would be taken from him until next year. Whether Shane was living in the moment or not, that countdown did not care that they had already spent their entire relationship stealing moments together whenever they could.
Their entire first year together, their first year finally telling each other the truth, would be spent exactly as it had been since they were teenagers: one of them in Montreal and one of them in Boston, careers too important to risk, settling for fake contact names and quickly fucking in hotel rooms when they played against each other. Except, now that they were honest about their love for each other, their distance would hurt even fucking worse.
or
Shane nearly drives himself mad, dreading when Ilya will have to leave his cottage in a week. When Ilya decides to stay, he somehow freaks out even more.

Summary
“Because I can’t fucking do this, Ilya. I’m going to my parents’, I- I need a break, alright? Shit.” Shane’s gaze locked onto his keys and he picked them up, stalking towards the door. He needed a break from the arguing and he needed to go somewhere he could breathe and collect his thoughts, so he could process this correctly and talk about it with Ilya civilly. Everything was still suffocating and overwhelming and Shane needed out, needed to go sit in his car and drive in silence to his parents’ place.
-
Ilya had seen enough breakups to know what one looked like. Shane ignored him, and looked irritated, and said he couldn’t do this (this, like everything between them could be reduced to a single word other than love), and said he needed a break (his confidence in Ilya’s English was comforting up until Ilya realised it meant Shane didn’t feel the need to say the dramatic I’m breaking up with you that characterised the ends of relationships).or, hollanov fight and misunderstandings resulting in an injury ensue
