    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.

    Summary

    Sinking was different from falling. The latter was fast and unforgiving, one moment and the next. Sinking - drowning - dying was more contemplative.

    And as he went, down, down, down, he heard -

    “Are you letting yourself die here, Zuzu?”

    But the words rise something in him - something awful, but something powerful. Anger, maybe, confusion and hurt, definitely.

    No.

    He grinned, a mess of teeth and lips. It wasn't pretty, but it was real.

    If he was going to die, it was going to be by fire. It was going to be on land, and it was going to be on his own damn terms.

    Or, different moments of Zuko and Azula's life, and their morbid relationship (with themselves, and with death.)

    Summary

    Yue knew: the moon was always there, but one day, it would not be, and Yue would not be either.

    And that was why Yue was okay with never being able to be. Be normal, be happy, be Yue. She was alright never knowing what those things even were.

    Because Yue's life had never been hers to keep.

    Summary

    "You're sad," Toph said bluntly.

    Aang titled his head sideways, smiling even if it hurt, "Don't be silly, I'm fine - "

    "No, Aang. You're not. It's okay not to be fine, you know?" she shifted slightly, frowning, "It's okay to be sad."

    Or, Aang, the Western Air Temple, and grief.
