    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.

    Fantastic political machinations, a wide cast of characters that make the world feel truly lived in, and a Zuko arc better than one I've ever seen before.

    Summary

    High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel. 

    -

    The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.

    This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    The most in-depth characterization of Crowley that I've ever read, bar none. The psychology is fascinating and the therapist, Aubrey Thyme, is so vivid in her characterization both as a professional and as a person. Just. AHHH. Fantastic!!

    Wonderful formatting and general mixed media fic. The debate between the defense and prosecution is thrillingly balanced and the articles through out add amazing detail.

    Summary

    Due to pressure from students, alum, and the board, Nedzu has announced that they will be having a yearbook and that it is up to the teachers to get pictures of their classes. Aizawa, of course, thinks that's stupid, and immediately finds a way to avoid his responsibilities by exploiting a loophole - he can get the pictures from his students.

    The only catch is that he doesn't want his coworkers to find out what he's doing because then they'll never let him hear the end of it.

    Very fun characterization for Aizawa and Izuku and interesting implications for Underground Heros!
