Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.
First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)
Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.
--
Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad by FlipSpring
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
18 Dec 2025
Summary
With Networks VOID/Networks VITAL, NULLverse is narratively Complete. But I keep writing anyway. Cuz it's fun.
Consider this series if you like: feral shit, disaster, continuity of identity+memory, societies of people with divergent needs/wants, chaos, robot creation ethics, violence vs security, suffering, healing, bad puns.
Canon Divergence AU:
- At the end of Exit Strategy, the Combat SecUnit succeeds at capturing Murderbot
- Murderbot is subjected to Palisade's construct research lab
- The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character
- Disaster ensuesSeries has its ups and downs regarding angst, dark comedy, and trauma recovery themes. Plus some whack worldbuilding speculation. We like to multi track drift here. It’s crack it’s angst it’s fluff? We have the RangeTM
Some installments are skippable if u so prefer. Reading order is suggested but not strictly necessary if u are a flexible type. Mix and match if you want. Go crazy. I know I am.
Hope you have fun!

Summary
Barry had four rules for himself, to keep himself on track and focused on saving the world. No matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't break them, or he risked bringing about the end of everything.
Rule one: He could not lose control.
Rule two: He could not give up in his search for Lup.
Rule three: He could not let Lucretia go through with her plan.
And finally, probably the hardest one to keep by far,Rule four: He could not see his family.
Attacking a cooking show assistant in the back of a small caravan, Barry blows his last rule out of the goddamn water. And then he keeps breaking it. It might just be worth it though. Even without his memories, Barry could use Taako's help now more than ever.

Summary
When a fun, routine flight takes a turn for the worst, Toothless takes the reins to save his best friend.
"He didn’t know what to do. This had only happened a few times, where Hiccup wouldn’t wake up, and those times there were always other humans who rushed to help. Toothless didn’t know important human things like how to fix someone who was broken. When a dragon was broken they were trapped and died, because it took a lot to hurt a dragon badly but once they were hurt there was nothing anyone could do for them."

Hogwarts, to welcome you home by gedsparrowhawk (FaceChanger)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
25 Sep 2016
Tags
Summary
“You understand, Professor,” Harry began, after a moment, “that I don’t have my N.E.W.T.s. I never even finished seventh year. Between everything, I never had a chance the first time around, and then afterwards there didn’t seem to be much point. Hermione argued for it, of course, but I was so tired of Britain. So technically, I am completely unqualified for the position.”
“Quite a way to begin an interview, Mr. Potter,” McGonagall said, dryly.
Or, three years after the war, Harry Potter becomes Hogwarts' newest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Summary
Maybe there was meant to be a love story here, one between a fearless lawyer and a selfless monk, two single-minded, do-gooder leader types. Instead this sad little clown house got them, two mistakes, two con artists from opposite ends of the country.
Welcome to the bottom of the barrel.
(Or: The reboot wherein Eleanor and Jason are matched as soul mates, and it isn't perfect but things go surprisingly sort of okay.)
