    Summary

    High in the halls of ice and wintry waters, an iceberg cracks.

    They tend to do that. It’s hardly a unique occurence. Every day, babies are born, good men die, fires start, and ice breaks.

    It is natural. It is meant to be.

    (It’s a sign)

     

    The Avatar wakes in a changed world a century later. An almost three year search comes to fruition.

    It is all different, though. Years of rumor and story have been allowed to flourish.

    Summary

    Dr. Liu,

    Got your final report yesterday on Project LV-426. I'm amazed. Great work all around. It's been forwarded to the Chair, our friends at the Pentagon, the Defense Appropriations Committee, and DARPA. The acid-resistant armor is something that should really catch their eye.

    We're expecting some big grant money from this.

    Burke

    Burke,

    Did you read even the executive summary of my report? There are some interesting biomaterials that we could work with, but I stressed, multiple times, that this creature is far too dangerous to even consider using in military research projects. It's aggressive, stupid, vicious, aggressive, impossible to train, and did I mention aggressive?

    . . .their limbs work on hydraulic principles and operate under pressure, which is why they splurt like a popped water balloon when they get hit in those Marine camera feeds we saw. A slight wound to a limb takes them right the hell out of commission, and now your troops have to deal with an insanely aggressive and stupid xenomorphic K-9 unit that oh by the way IS BLEEDING ACID.

    Summary

    (He screamed toward the moon, they murmur, it’s a sign)

    (The sun set on him, others scoff, it’s a sign)

    Prince Zuko is born into rumor and bloodshed. He is raised in flames and scars.

    Sozin's Comet is coming again, for Earth instead of Air, and Agni will not let it pass lightly. Not without intervention.

    Summary

    “What in the hell did you do, Stevie?” Bucky hisses when they’re out of earshot of the agent at the door.

    “I solved the problem, Buck!” Steve says, with a shit-eating grin that strikes fear into Bucky’s heart. “See, I was Googling, and —”

    “No,” Bucky whimpers, dread welling up in his chest. “Whatever it is, no.”

    They are in the small staff kitchen now, and Sam looks up inquiringly. “Don’t tell me he actually went for it,” he says, his voice gleeful.

    “Of course he went for it,” Steve says, trying to keep the snicker out of his voice. “They love him in that part of town,” he repeats in a crooning falsetto.

    Bucky feels like he’s about to burst a blood vessel. “What the fuck did you two do?!?”

    Steve bites his lip, looking a little repentant. He unlocks his phone and hands it to Bucky, open to Google Maps.

    “Four Seasons…Total Landscaping?!?” Bucky reads. “What the fu —” He hits street view, and his legs grow weak.

    Summary

    Surreal and Wilhelmina have similar doubts about settling in the Shadow Realm.

    [doubts that they try to settle with a jaunt to Amdarh, which does and does not go as a trip the city should go. There are goats, fights, murder, and a play.]

    See chapters 2 and 3 for art by Desiderii (also here - with way better captions :D). Desiderii has also created a mix to accompany the fic.
