Summary
“So,” Aang grins despite himself. “We have matching scars.”
Zuko allows himself a wry smile.
Avatar or not, this human embodiment of light and peace, restorer of worlds, bridge of spirits - this force to be reckoned with is still, just a kid.

Summary
"I don't believe my will's quite free/I'm half machine, at least half steam./Aquinas, call on me." - Dessa, 'Velodrome'.
“I have a letter we must speak about,” he says, and after a moment’s hesitation, reads it aloud, slowly and clearly, to her.
Aemma stares at him blankly, only registering that it is a letter from the King. She thinks she met the King once, when she was very small and he and his family visited. She couldn’t have been any older than four or five. It was before Prince Duncan ran off with that peasant girl and gave up his rights to the throne. Now it will go to his brother, Prince Jaehaerys. Septa says he was mad for love. Aemma can’t comprehend of such a thing, but then again, she has never fallen in love, and she certainly hopes the first man she falls for is not poor and lowborn, no matter how pretty his looks.
“Aemma,” Father says, gently, “the letter is about you and Prince Maegor.”

Summary
“My featherbed,” she sings out in tune to the burble of the stream, picking her way along the rotting tree trunk jutted across it, hearing the pleasant creak and groan of wood, muffled by the moss, “is deep and soft, and there-,” she loses her footing for an instant; her leather boots are worn soft as a kid, and while they’re as comfortable as they’ll ever be, it can lead a woman to slip, even one as light-footed as she.
They don’t call her Fawn round these parts for nothing.
(In which Wenda the White Fawn and the Smiling Knight pull a Bonnie & Clyde).

Summary
This Week Exclusive: Is Talia Head betraying Gotham’s Prince, Bruce Wayne, with the city’s Nightly Vigilant, the Batman?
“Batman,” Talia all but purred, “I’m a married woman, you know.”Bruce—Batman, for that matter stopped for a moment, hands still in the wheel.
It seemed that anyone with half a brain and half an hour of internet per day could type down a URL and set up a blog. At least Bruce had only to deal with some (very shady, incredibly and absolutely non-professional) actual journalists so far, which (usually) had some decency to tune down their fantasies when writing about the capes flying between edifices.
But, as Bruce let himself drink of his (Wayne’s) wife, leaning by the window of the Batmobile, in some dark and forgotten alley in Gotham, almost at three AM, Bruce couldn’t deny it had some appeal, after all.

Summary
After being ditched on the Fourth of July, Trinity Santos copes the only reasonable way; rage-singing at karaoke with Mel King and pretending she’s fine about the whole “keeping it casual” thing with Yolanda Garcia.
Then Garcia texts, offering a ride. Acts normal, while very clearly not being normal at all.
Cue one tense car ride, several pointed observations, and the long-overdue death of “casual.”
Or: jealousy, karaoke, and feelings that refuse to stay theoretical.

“Who… who are you?” Aang repeated intensely at Kuzon’s answering silence. Katara looked back at Kuzon to see him smiling, all teeth. It wasn’t the playful grin she always saw on Aang’s face. It was something sharper, distorted; so unlike Aang that it only terrified her further.
“I’m Kuzon,” he answered simply. Aang’s face only grew more bewildered as his own voice echoed back at him. “You don’t remember me?”

Kuzon appears one night. Katara and Aang have to deal with him somehow.Series

Summary
She dies on the beach, in his arms. It isn’t the first time. It isn’t even the second. “We’re trapped,” she tells him, blood bubbling up between her lips. His fingers spasm on her wound and he shushes her, his voice shaking. She draws a shuddering breath that rattles in her lungs. “It’s my turn, but it’ll be yours, next. We’re trapped here.”
Or: Jyn has to keep reliving Scarif until she gets it right.

“I-I’m sorry.” Celeste pulled away from Madeline’s hold before placing her hands back on the table. Several inches away from Madeline. “I don’t know why this is so hard.”
“It’s alright.”
“No, no it’s not.” Celeste shook her head. “You would think that after... you know, that this would be easy.” Her voice shook. Tears dripped down her cheeks.
Madeline couldn’t help but frown. Her voice became serious. “Celeste. What’s wrong?”
-OR-
Celeste has a confession to make.

“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
Jesper loved a good fight. The rush of it. The close calls. The way the sound of a bullet whizzing by his ear was the only thing that could quiet the incessant ramble of his thoughts.
Most days he left without a scratch with only a grin from ear to ear to prove he’s left the Slat at all.
Today was not one of those days. And he can only think of one place to go.
///
An injured Jesper seeks help from Wylan.
