Summary
"You're doing a poor job at hunting the avatar."
Zuko pushes himself into a sitting position. He breathes in the frigid air, and breathes out steam. The breath of fire fills his lungs the way Iroh taught him, the way the Painted Lady taught her acolytes.
"I thought if the Blue Spirit was unmasked, he disappeared," he replies.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
Izumi loved that scar. When she was too young to know what it was, she had smeared red paint over one eye and stuck a paper five-pronged crown in her ponytail. Dad didn’t like it. She didn’t understand why, until he explained what a scar was and why it hurt him to see her pretending to have one.
And now this man was going to give her one for real.
The smoke burned her throat. She choked, crying too hard now to form proper sentences, too scared to say anything other than, “Dad.”
Or: After Izumi is the target of an assassination attack, Zuko is left to deal with the aftermath.

Summary
“Oh,” Zuko said. His voice came out very small.
“What is it?” Jinora asked, slipping past the dragon’s elbow.
“Ba Sing Se,” Zuko breathed. In all his years he never thought he’d see it again—not like it was then. He curled a wrinkled hand into the thickness of Druk’s fur. The dragon pressed his snout into Zuko’s neck.
“It can’t be,” Jinora frowned. “I’ve been there before. It’s not that small, for one thing.”
“It was,” Zuko said. “And I know why you don’t recognise it. It’s because it’s not your Ba Sing Se. It’s mine. The one from my youth.”

James is the natural confidant of both Remus and Sirius. When they both swear him to secrecy on the same topic, James is stuck watching his friends pine for each other without being able to say a word to bring them together. A lesser man might shrink from the challenge of finding a way to break his promise without breaking his promise, but not James Potter!

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
**
“Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.
“There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”
“How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”
“Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.

Summary
"He seems. . . sad." Jula says, gazing at Master Skywalker from across the gardens. Master Katooni follows her gaze and a glint of understanding passes her eyes. "Why is he so sad, Master?"
"Ah," Master Katooni clicks her tongue softly. "How much do you know about the end of the Clone Wars, padawan?"
*****
Or, decades after the Clone Wars are over, Jedi padawans do what they do best: gossip and wonder.

Summary
Anakin hasn’t said those words with such bitterness, such disgust, since he had first come to the Temple with a detonator still buried in his abdomen.
He takes another swig straight from the bottle, too quickly for Obi-wan to consider stopping him. “His name was Cliegg Lars. A moisture farmer. He took one look at my mother, decided she’d make a good wife, and bought her.”
* * * *
Two years into the Clone Wars, on the anniversary of Shmi Skywalker's death, Obi-wan and Anakin have a conversation.

Summary
Luke tries to imagine showing a child a pile of books and saying, these rotting pieces of dust told me you weren’t allowed to see your dad ever again. If Luke had tried something like that on his sister after Ben was born, Leia would’ve told him to fuck off and fuck the Jedi Order, too, for good measure.

Summary
Remus is confused and Lily is furious when her old school mates James Potter and Sirius Black come to work as doctors at St Mungo's where Lily and Remus both work.
The grin softened a bit, and Sirius extended his hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Lupin. Formally.”
“Remus,” he corrected as he closed his large hand round the long, slender fingers.
“Then Sirius for me, if you’d like.”
Remus felt his smile widen a bit. He wanted to dislike this mostly childish, obnoxious Doctor. He really did, but with that grin, and the slight dimple in his left cheek, he couldn’t help it. Lily might hate him for it, but he just couldn’t care.
