Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

Summary
Hidden in the deepest darkest corner of the Palace, the imprisoned Prince Zuko serves out his punishment and waits - and waits to be pardoned and released by his father.
Not knowing that Fire Lord Ozai has already declared to the world that his son has died.
Until a strange group of kids invade the Royal Palace, and accidentally rescue the formerly dead Prince Zuko...
— their invasion had gone to shreds since the Fire Lord had disappeared, and now there was an unconscious maybe-probably-enemy lying by his feet.
"Oh great, NOW what??” Sokka flailed both of his hands towards the boy. "When I said we could loot some stuff from the Royal Palace, I didn’t mean THIS!!"
As usual, Katara ignored his extremely valid point.
"We need to hurry," she said, as if Sokka didn’t already know that, it was his plan, "- can you carry him, Sokka? We have to take him with us."

Sokka's instincts had screamed at him ever since Jet showed his smarmy, smug, wheat chewing face, but without evidence he couldn't convince Katara and Aang to listen to him. Honestly, as time went on and he couldn't find anything to support his unease he started to doubt it himself.
Then Jet let him in on the Freedom Fighter's biggest secret.
Sokka should have known better than to ignore his instincts.

Summary
“It’s like a bad joke: how many firefighters does it take to put out a lab fire? Two, but you gotta put them in a time loop first.”
“That doesn’t even make sense.”
“Give me another loop, I’ll workshop it.”
Ravi and Buck make it out of the lab. They're the only ones that do. But you know what they say-- if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.

Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
In 2018, the world almost ended. The world almost ended on a surprisingly frequent basis, Stephen had discovered in the last two years. But this time, this time the solution seemed just as bad as the problem itself with five years lost and so much suffering in the interim and the years after. So Stephen pushed himself farther than he ever had before to see if he could find something else: a solution that was less cruel, less harmful, less impacting to both Earth and the universe as a whole.
He found it sometime after approximately 22.3 million futures.

"So, you want to be a gunfighter?"
The youth nodded.
A smile came over the man's face, half-hidden in the growing darkness. "Well, I bet you could. I bet you could be real good with a gun. I can help you if you want. What do you say?"
The youth started to answer, paused. "As long as it ain't against the law. I promised my mama I'd never make her ashamed of me."

Summary
The ship was eighteen days out of port when the storm struck. Waves rocked the ship and spray kept the decks too wet to walk on safely. Maude was well in her element as she played a 'friendly' game of poker with several of the other passengers. Ezra was terribly lonely as he sat, ignored, in a corner of the room. Finally, he slipped out and went for a walk. He found one of the staircases that ran to the lower decks and with a quick glance to see if anyone was watching, he swiftly descended.
It was quieter in the lower corridors. Ezra walked the length of the ship, smiling and greeting everyone he passed. Most of the passengers ignored him but a few of them smiled back. As he reached the front of the ship, he heard peals of laughter. Curiosity snagged him firmly and he followed the sound to one of the dining rooms. The tables had been shoved to the side and the children were playing in the open space. The rag ball shot back and forth between them as they moved up and down the length of the room. When it rolled between two chairs, the boy who had kicked it raised his hands in triumph.

Summary
Travis had taken what O'Toole had discovered and given it to a top firm of private investigators. They had tracked down five young men and boys, related to Eve though the female line, who might have the same 'affliction' as Steven. Orin and Evie knew they could offer these boys a secure and comfortable future. They had identified five boys, of which Josiah Sanchez, at nineteen was the oldest. He, and the youngest, J.D.Dunne, had been the easiest to track down.

Summary
"Have you seen my Ma?" the small voice asked. "Her name is Ma," the boy said, clearly unaware his mother could have any other name.
He was barefoot; dressed in grey trousers several sizes too big for him, their frayed and torn bottoms trailing away behind him down the stairs. A grey shirt likewise too big, its frayed cuffs dangling past his hands and a black jacket that conversely was too small and had split all the way down the back seam, and was missing all but one of its buttons. His face was streaked with grime, the hair dull and uncombed. He was about to tell her his name when another boy, older and taller with blonde hair ran up the stairs.
"Where have you been?" he demanded.

Summary
Roy Haly was a happy man. Very rarely seen without a smile, this particular Tuesday the man’s simper was particularly large. He’d ridden into Four Corners, making a pit stop on the way to "someplace else." The next scheme, the next deal, the next opportunity to get enough money to pay off his debt to Darry Carter, buying his freedom from the man forever. That was all he was looking for. Once he discovered how to get the obsessive man off his back he could travel freely around the country without dodging his one time partner at every turn. He was smiling bigger because he’d found it sooner than he thought. Vin Tanner.
It had been nearly a year since he’d seen the boy but it was still him. Darry would be awfully happy to get him back. He’d pay a mighty big price too. He’d never ask another favor from Happy Roy Haly.

Summary
The gently rocking train sang its lullaby along the tracks as it headed purposefully westward. The old conductor, making his rounds, took himself past a small car normally used for transporting the more expensive cargo, like jewelry and fancy European goods earmarked for the San Francisco shops, but on this trip it held ten passengers. Children, orphans from one of the large Eastern cities, were headed towards the promise of families.
Not every child in the car was asleep. The old man heard a tiny whisper from one of the youngsters, barely heard over the clacking of the train's wheels.
"Vin?" He listened for a moment longer, concerned that one of the orphans might be in distress, but moved on when things seemed okay.
"Yes, JD." Vin waited as patiently as his seven years would allow.
"Vin, do you think I could have a pony?" Five year old JD Dunne wriggled closer to his older cousin, trying to get comfortable.
----

Summary
“Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.
“Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”
***
When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.

Summary
He’s tired of reading ‘I’m so sorry for your loss’ and ‘He will be missed’ and ‘He was a great man’. Because he wasn’t.
If there was one thing his father wasn’t, was a ‘great man’. Phillip Buckley was a pretentious asshole, a shitty father and a horrible person.
Buck didn’t miss him. He should feel bad about it. He was his father, the man who raised him, fed him, put him through school, and Buck couldn’t find it in him to miss him.His father didn’t care all the times Buck almost died, so why should Buck care about Phillip dying? He doesn’t think it’s fair.
(or, phillip buckley dies and buck doesn't know how to feel about it)

Summary
“Mads would make me mac and cheese whenever I was sick and give me Sprite.” Because although he doesn’t have tender stories about his parents from his childhood, he had a hell of a lot about Maddie.
“What did you do once she moved out? You were still young, weren’t you?” Hen asks, struggling to remember her foggy Buckley timeline.
“I mostly just pressed on through it. All it did was upset them when I brought it up.” Buck shook his head. “When Maddie wasn’t around to spoil me, I figured it out quick enough. I had learned Kraft by then, so it wasn’t a big deal. I’d shoplift cough syrup if I was desperate until I had money and an ID.”
“You what?” Maddie asks, visibly startled by the admission.
“Come on, I know it was wrong, but I was young,” Buck complains. “Dad would get weird when I asked him to buy me meds, so I just figured out a workaround.”
___
OR the one where Buck goes into work sick and the 118 take care of him. We delve into Buck's complicated relationship with illness, due to his parents own relationship with ill children. (Buck doesn't know about Daniel and doesn't find out.)
