    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.

    Summary

    Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.

    Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.

    Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”

    Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.

    He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.

    Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

    Summary

    “Your master must be fond of sending others to do his dirty work,” Halsin said.
    Astarion’s eyes flicked up to meet his gaze. He was shrewd; he knew then that Halsin understood the situation. Halsin belatedly realized that the vampire spawn’s flushed face could be from hunger. Halsin’s chest dripped with freshly spilt blood.
    “You have no idea,” Astarion said in a tight voice. “How much of his dirty work I have done.”
    Halsin spread his hands in a gesture of surrender, of passivity. “I know it wasn’t your choice.”
    “I did what I had to do to survive.”
    Halsin recognized the words; he had said them before himself.

    Astarion adapts to his new life in the sun, seemingly free of Cazador, but with no shortage of enemies who would see him captive again. Halsin, burdened with responsibility for so many that he often forgets himself, encounters some of the same enemies in his quest to restore the balance of nature.

    After rescuing each other in a goblin camp, the pair finds they may have more in common than shared enemies...
