    Summary

    Ten years ago, Katara confessed her darkest secret to Fire Lord Zuko and he chose the world over helping her. Katara then spent the next ten years in the South Pole avoiding him - avoiding her friends, avoiding her family. Now an Earth Kingdom village is dying, and the pair is forced back together to uncover what's buried beneath it. Over the next two weeks, the unsaid has a way of finding its way to the surface and both Katara and the Fire Lord learn that some currents are stronger than the people swimming against them.

    This story is set fifteen years after the 100 year war, and is a divergence from the canon of ATLA at this point. This story centers around Katara and Zuko in their 30's, navigating a strained relationship while working to save a sick island. There are explicit moments mixed into the story, and plenty of internal strife.

    If you’re just wanting spice it's in 6, 7, 8, and 12!

    Summary

    Something unreadable is on Kakashi’s face, but he doesn’t seem impressed. “You two are eloping?”

    “No,” Naruto says pointedly. His gaze drops to the floor. For once, he chooses his words carefully. “But if he can’t stay, then I’ll go with him.”

    Kakashi’s voice is grave. “You’re the number one candidate for Hokage. You tirelessly ranted on and on about how this is your dream. Are you going to give up all that hard work?”

    “It’ll just be a little while,” Naruto mutters, not quite believing himself.

    “Surely you aren’t that naïve, Naruto,” Kakashi warns. “If you leave with Sasuke, I don’t think we’ll ever see you again.”

    “I’m not being naïve,” Naruto says. “I would come back.”

    Kakashi’s voice has dropped any pretence of humour. “I thought you hated people who lie to themselves the most.”

    After their legendary battle and final fight in the Valley of the End, Naruto slowly heals in the hospital. Sasuke doesn’t.

    Three years later, whilst on a diplomatic mission to the Hidden Grass Village, Naruto encounters a masked mercenary who takes him by storm.

    Summary

    Dan Heng's knees buckle beneath him, his hand reaching out to the strands of hair. He cannot fight the way he lifts the strands up into the air, letting them slide through the gaps between his fingers.

    Even as the puddle of blood reaches the dragon's knees, he does not find himself moving backwards to preserve his white brocade robes. Instead he lets himself sit by the man's side, gently raking a trembling hand down his scalp.

    He is stunning.

    It has been so long since he's seen a human he had almost forgotten what they look like: Supple skin vulnerable to anything sharp, void of any scales for protection.

    Perhaps he should lend a helping hand to aid his dire wounds.

    Curiosity gets the best of a dragon, leading his life to intertwine with a lone swordsman’s. Fate and wishes bound, he fights to grow closer to his  new and unexpected friend.

    Summary

    He had still been in the hospital when they had everyone take their pictures for the upcoming school year, so his unmarred, 15-year-old face was still plastered on his ID.

    Standing here now–after getting kidnapped, ruining his favorite hero’s career, almost dying, actually dying, ruining another hero’s career because he died–he couldn’t recognize the boy in the picture anymore.

     

    Or: Bakugou Katsuki, and what it means to be more than just a sum of your parts.
