    Summary

    “Haven’t you ever thought about that, Tommy?”

    A cigarette dangled from Wilbur’s fingers, falling slowly apart in glowing red crumbs. Tommy was good at ignoring what wasn’t in front of him. Still, he’d known it was there.

    “Haven’t you ever wondered if you had a ghost, too?”

    Summary

    prompt (by whumplant on tumblr): always chewing on characters who would Never do anything as vulnerable as admit what happened but the signs are all there. stark, shiny scars they brush off concern for. pains that crop up at strange times. obsessive habits they refuse to break and aversions they won’t explain. bags under their eyes and a thin face, no matter how competent they are at whatever task is set before them. a worn cog still turns. even if everyone can see the damage, it doesn’t need to draw attention. really.

    ...

    Or: It's The Riders' first Devastating Winter off of Berk. For Hiccup, it's a looming spectre in more ways than one. For Astrid, a series of revelations.

    Summary

    "So, let's hear this one more time; you say you’re looking for a dragon?"

    The figure nods its head rapidly. "A dragon spirit" He says firmly.

    “...Right. And you say you followed it to here? To our village?” The person again nods in confirmation.

    “Around here. I’m not really too sure.” A pained look crosses Stoick’s face; this interrogation is clearly taking a toll on how much weird he can handle in a day.

    It's your usual story, boy chases dragon spirit through a split in dimensions in an attempt to get it to listen to him. Boy then has to find said dragon spirit. Just normal stuff.

    Summary

    Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.

    ---

    “It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."

    Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”

    “Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”

    “Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”

    Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”

    For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.

    She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.
