    Summary

    The weight of the world rests on the shoulders of children. In spite of it all, they still find enough place to grow.

    Summary

    All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.

     

    Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Sokka isn’t stupid. Not that his sister is, mind you (at least, he’d never call her that to her face now that she’s honed her waterbending), or any of the rest of Team Avatar, although sometimes it feels like he’s living in a different world from the rest of them — a world where running out of food means starving, and walking into a town full of firebenders with the Avatar in tow will get you killed, rather than help you free a beaten-down Earthbender colony.

    Anyways.

    Sokka isn’t stupid, which is why he laughs directly in Aunt Wu’s face when she tells him that he will marry the Fire Lord.

    Summary

    Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”

    “Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."


    In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

    Summary

    She doesn't want to leave, just yet. Wants to look a little longer on a face she knows, wants to speak with someone who doesn't regard her with deference or fear or distaste for the name she carries.

    “I heard about your mother,” Lest says, her voice going softer. “I'm... sorry it happened that way.”

    Mel inclines her head. Treacherously, she feels her lip tremble, feels the burn of tears behind her eyes. Fights it back, fights not to allow it. “Thank you.”

    Or

    Before she leaves for Noxus, Mel goes to see Lest.
