Summary
Sokka finds out that Zuko’s life-threatening, Sozin-comet-powered, crazy-blue-fire-prodigy-inflicted lightning wound didn’t scar.
And Sokka’s got questions about that.
Because if that didn’t scar, how in Koh’s lair did he get the one on his face?
Or: The one in which there are uncomfortable conversations, dramatic life-threatening events, and undiscovered traumatic depths to be plumbed on a weekend beach vacation. As is the ATLA norm.

Summary
“Top up?” A voice asked. Remus, although nodding vaguely, was barely paying attention.
He only snapped back into reality, when the glass reappeared on the counter with a gentle thump. He unfolded a crumpled note from his pocket, sliding it across the bar as his fingers gripped around the cool glass.
Then he looked up.
His heart did a strange flip, when his eyes finally met the bartender's. A man stood before him, long raven hair falling over his shoulders in perfect waves. The top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a slither of pale, tattooed skin beneath his neck.
Dark eyelashes framed light eyes that seemed instantly so deep, so sinkable, that Remus didn't notice the twitch of a finger, or the shattering of glass.
He didn't notice anything, until the man's perfect face had twisted with concern.

A muggle teacher AU, in which Remus Lupin is a teacher and Sirius Black works in the staff's regular pub. Remus has Huntington's Disease, although he doesn't know it yet, and must face a grim new reality as he and those around him struggle with the implications.

Summary
Everything was burning. His whole world, crumbling and turning to ash around him.
Zuko was aware he was shaking, he was aware of the sob building in his chest. But he couldn’t care. Not when that ugly red wound was staring at him, covering his uncle’s left shoulder. His clothes smoldered and the air smelled of burnt flesh.
Someone touched his shoulder, and Zuko flinched. Hard.
He whirled around, fist raised and smoking with the promise of fire.
The Water Tribe girl, Katara, backed off with her hands raised in a peaceful gesture.
“I can help,” she promised, her voice soft, her gaze sinking to Zuko’s uncle who was lying unmoving on the ground before him. “Zuko, I can heal him.”
“No,” he finally spoke, his voice raw and hoarse and too quiet. He hated himself. He wished he could find the anger that drove him, but it was buried beneath the grief of the idea that Uncle was going to die and it would be his fault.
Katara’s face contorted in frustration. Her fists balled at her sides. “Zuko, if you don’t let me help he’s going to die!”
Or: What if Zuko let Katara heal Iroh after "The Chase", and that's when Zuko joins the Gaang?

Summary
“Some things aren’t built to last.”
Dennis Whitaker has spent his entire life trying to outrun his father’s voice and the freezing shadows of a Nebraska silo. He thought he’d found sanctuary in the sterile, frantic heart of the ER, but a single punch from a drunk patient sends him spiraling back into the cold.
Dazed, concussed, and blurring the line between a hospital hallway and a slaughterhouse barn, Dennis lets the truth slip to the one person he was most desperate to impress.
Dr. Robby was supposed to leave for his sabbatical at sunset, but with Dennis shivering in a hospital bed and whispering about lambs in the frost, Robby realizes the road can wait.

Summary
Everything is fine. Everything is absolutely peachy fucking keen.
When the night shift calls Dennis in a few hours early, he goes without complaint. He knows how miserable a shift can get without enough hands on deck. But lack of sleep slowly starts to catch up with him.
Dennis Whitaker does not faint. That would be embarrassing. He’s on the floor for perfectly reasonable, perfectly respectable reasons. He does not need a banana bag. He does not need the day off.
He just needs a little bit of sleep.
—
Or: Dennis has a bad day at work. Robby has Jack pick him up to babysit him at his and Robby’s apartment until Robby gets off shift. When Dennis still can’t force himself to sleep, his Attendings take it upon themselves to tire him out.
