    Summary

    [Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.

    “Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.

    What the fuck?

    “Sokka, I—”

    Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.

    What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]

    Or:

    An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.

    But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

    Yeah, nah.

    Summary

    When Caitlyn releases one hand to cup under Vi’s jaw, tilting her head up until their noses are brushing— she knows this is where they’re going to meet their destiny: on a path forked like a snake’s tongue. For better or for worse.

    “Why have we never kissed?” Caitlyn asks, mouths so close that Vi can feel her words.

    Vi’s fist tightens on her back, crumpling the material of her tank top in it. “Because we shouldn’t.”

    Summary

    Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
    Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to lose his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior.

    Summary

    “How does that work? Achilles is so far out of his league and he can’t even see it.”

    “I don’t get it. It must suck to date a blind kid, and Pat’s not even hot.”

     

     
    They’d probably thought they were being quiet, but Patroclus is, after all, blind. His hearing compensates.

    Or, "blind Patroclus feeling insecure because someone said he’s so plain while Achilles looks heavenly, so Achilles makes a point to describe everything that he loves about Pat’s appearance, in vivid detail, in the fashion of the 'tell me again' scene."
