    Summary

    Hayden hated the guy. Hated him.

    Hated his stupid, smug smirk and the myriad of insults he threw Hayden’s way and the way he made fun of Shane like it was a funny game then looked him up and down like a piece of meat and his reputation of sleeping with everything that fucking moved and the memories of being slammed into the boards by him and quite literally everything about this Russian dickhead.

    And he hated that he was now going to have to do everything in his power to learn how to tolerate Rozanov because Shane was inexplicably and hopelessly in love with him, and Shane was his brother in every fucking thing but blood, and Hayden was not going to keep being responsible for that sad puppy look on his face every time he realized how poorly they got along.

    So far, Hayden sucked at it. Big time.

    ---

    It bothers Shane that Hayden and Ilya don't get along, so Hayden is putting in the effort to try and see these redeeming qualities Shane claims the guy has. Over the years it becomes easier and easier, until one day, he realizes he doesn't have to actually try anymore.

    or, 5 times Hayden realized he was starting to tolerate Ilya + 1 time they acknowledged they were actually friends now

    Summary

    After the conquest of Redania, Aleksander of Velen comes to Kaer Morhen. He's not sure what his place is there - or even if he truly has a place - and the culture of the keep comes as a great shock. But he has nowhere else to go, and with luck, friends, and the help of a very handsome Cat, maybe he will be able to make himself at home. He hopes. All he needs to do is not offend anyone or reveal his shameful weakness, right?

    Aiden of the Cats has no idea why the keep's new nobleman is so fascinating, but he's definitely not going to pass up any opportunity to find out. If only Aleksander would trust him enough to share his burdens.

    And Aren of the Manticores and his four Mantikittens are slowly adjusting to the idea of being in a place of safety at last.

    Summary

    If Rael had a credit for every time he had to finish training a padawan in his lineage, he would have two credits, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.
