Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Summary
For as long as Zuko can remember, he's had the flowers in his lungs. He's kept them secret from everyone but his closest family, which hasn't always been easy, but he's had no other choice--the flowers are a sign of weakness. His father was sure he wouldn't survive long, but he's made it to 16, and he's joined Team Avatar. However, old habits die hard--can he still keep the flowers secret from them now that he's living with them?
One day is particularly worse than the others. Zuko has a flare-up.
Important notes: it's complete! it has a HAPPY ending! nobody dies! I was trying to use the concept of "flowers for unrequited love" without getting bogged down in crying about being forever alone. I repeat: HAPPY ENDING

There Is No Fire Lord by OccasionalStorytelling for MuffinLance

Summary
This is an AU for MuffinLance's "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison then has to be Fire Lord having never gotten his redemption arc" Towards the Sun. This is more of a "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison, and then when he becomes Fire Lord they leave him in prison" kind of thing.
After committing treason, Zuko spends months in prison, and even after both his father and Azula go missing, the guards can't coax him out of his cell. And then the Avatar shows up. How's the Gaang supposed to talk to a Fire Lord who doesn't even believe he's the Fire Lord?

Summary
The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”
Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”
“Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”
Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

Summary
Stuck under a collapse, Ghost only has Soap to keep him tethered to this reality.
-
Tags
Summary
Silence had been Ghost’s comfort. The quiet allowed his mind to shut down and remain blank, ensuring that he was the best soldier he could be. Silence was his constant companion—one that would never forsake him.
Like a ripple in a pond, Soap’s appearance as his teammate shattered Ghost’s precious silence, replacing it with boisterous noise. The young sergeant was full of life and brightness and everything that Ghost was not.
Fortunately, he only had to endure Soap’s nonsense for a short while before he could return to what he knew best. He'd always worked better alone, after all.
Only, Ghost doesn’t realize how oppressive silence could be until after Soap’s symphony of noise is taken away.
OR
Ghost starts to grow fond of the new sergeant, and begins realizing how hollow and quiet his life had been before meeting Soap.

Summary
It’s in Las Almas where he first sees it — really sees it.
Whatever it is.
“General Shepherd sends his regards,” Graves says simply, succinct with his taunting.
“He knows about this?” Ghost spits, but there’s that ember rising, burning in the back of his throat, breathing smoke out his lungs, threatening a trembling, terrible rage as something deep in the pit of his being begins screaming.

Summary
When Price finally takes the glass away it quivers in his hand. “There we go. It’s alright Soap,” he says quietly, wetly. One clammy hand comes up to press to his hot forehead. “You’re alright. Just take it easy, son.” The word comes out choked, like a confession drawn out of him by a higher power.
Price is just a man; a scared, confused old man, and God is not supposed to die in hospital rooms but nonetheless, there sits his corpse.
Price has a god complex, Soap wants a Father, and the world crashes down around them regardless of what either of them want. This is their relationship spanning from Modern Warfare 1 to Modern Warfare 3

Summary
Fesmire was not a normal town, and John knew it. Although, he didn't always think that way...
Orphaned young, he grew up shunned by the townsfolk after an incident that claimed their beloved church was linked back to the miracle which had saved him. He should have drowned, but instead, washed up on the shore with only a remnant patch of scaly skin to show for it. The nightmares which plagued him were normal for a boy so young, and the visions that came to him were surely just his overactive imagination.
His thoughts on the matter changed after he fished up an invaluable object, over a decade later, which changed his view of the town and the people within.

Reads like a dark fairytale.
Very well woven story with an interesting world, themes like the hubris of humanity, complicated characters and a certain type of dreaminess that stays with you.

Summary
Soap gets stuck in a time loop during the Alone Mission and dies a whole bunch trying to get it right. He doesn't quite know how to handle it, especially when Ghost starts dying first and Soap begins restarting the loops without question- anything to have a chance of them both making it out intact at the end.
Then Ghost has his turn in the loops.

Summary
“Ghost?”
“Soap.” Ghost’s voice was a low buzz, gravelly with static. In the absolute silence of the snow-covered forest, it sounded both deafeningly loud and intimately quiet.
“What’s your favourite season?” Soap asked.

Beautiful
(I need to draw that bathtub scene where Johnny isn't allowed to look at Simon and Simon has rested his face on the back of Johnny's neck. Don't know which angle though. Maybe a couple different close ups?)
