    Summary

    Luca Haas had a secret Tumblr art account from the mid to late 2010s. One of his posts wasn't of his art though, and of course that's the post that comes back to haunt him years down the line when he is playing for the Ottawa Centaurs with his idol and mentor, Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    "I hope you live a long and happy life, Sire," Gwaine says, with a pitiful attempt at his usual tavern drawl that does nothing to hide his solemnity, his sincerity. Arthur's eyes betray nothing as he takes his seat at the head of his dining table and gestures for Gwaine to join him at his right side. Gwaine settles, and sighs, and says after another swallow of too-sweet wine, "And I hope that his and mine lasts just a little longer."

    Gwaine is the villain in this part of the story. He accepted that a long time ago.

    Summary

    There isn’t any shame in relying in others, Zuko had told her, once. Face soft with sleep, curled up on her bedside in the facility, as she painted her nails in an attempt to stop chewing them. I learned it the hard way. Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to climb your way back up.

    And sometimes when you hit rock bottom you break your neck, she’d answered. Why let yourself get that low?

    It’s difficult to know which way is up and which way is down sometimes, he’d said. Finger tapping his scar. It isn’t the hitting the ground that gets you. Sometimes it’s the fall.

     

    Or, Azula takes the long way home. Featuring the passage of time, the life-changing aspects of a field trip across the Earth Kingdom, and making a place for yourself.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
