Summary
For a secret diplomatic mission, Suki dresses Sokka and Zuko as Kyoshi Warriors, thinking the disguise will keep them safe. It doesn't. They win the fight, but Sokka is injured, and he's not waking up.
Suki and Zuko can't do anything but wait. And avoid talking about the complicated, confusing feelings all three of them have been caught in, after all these months of late night drinking and laughter, escalating dares, and the urgency of the kiss Suki gave Zuko right before she passed out from the pain, leaving Sokka's name in his mouth.
(~4 years after the end of the series, nothing too explicit but references to sexual content and a pretty gnarly TBI.)

Summary
There is only one single surviving waterbending technique from the Southern Water Tribe that Katara didn't develop herself. As a child she learned it, though Hama's memory still fills her with shame thirty years later. She wonders if it's her duty to pass the technique down to the next generation of waterbenders, and wonders if she can turn it into something useful, something gentle.
Still, sometimes she misses it: the challenge, the heat, the thrill of battle. But the world is different now, and she has a family to look after.
Or: Katara was there in the courtroom that day when Yakone used bloodbending.

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Summary
“Really?” Alya raises an eyebrow. “You’re not about to have a panic session over what to get Adrien?”
“Nope,” Marinette shrugs.
“So I shouldn’t expect any three am calls featuring a hysterical Marinette panicking about whether Adrien will hate his gift and never speak to her again?”
“That would be quite a discourteous thing to do to one’s best friend.”
“No overcomplicated flow charts cataloguing Adrien’s current interests, cross-referencing it with current gift trends, or plotting out what kind of reaction each potential gift will elicit in an obsessively colour-coded Excel sheet?”
“Alya,” Marinette waves a hand, the picture of casualness, “it’s a class Secret Santa. There’s no need to get so into it.”
Marinette is Adrien's Secret Santa and she's got this in the bag. Really!

Summary
In the wake of a summer that Adrien never wanted to end, all that he wishes to push away comes back to haunt him when the school years starts again: self-doubt from identities that feel no more real than anything else; ghosts of parents who still talk to him; and most all, a fear that the people he loves will leave him in time, too.
however, maybe the person who can relate most to him is the one he's never far from.

Summary
“Marinette,” he said.
“Adrien,” she said.
“I’m real drunk right now,” he said up at the sky, and she laughed. He smiled a little bit, and then he looked down at her, and her breath caught in her throat. He was still smiling, but it was the sort of smile that priests had at funerals, grieved and holy. “So I’m going to ask. What if we just did it?”
She didn’t even have to ask.
“What if- what if we just did it? I mean, can we not?” he asked her, his shoulders drawing up, his posture sloping towards her, bending to her like he was begging. “I think- I think after everything we’ve done, after how it feels to be with you- I think maybe we should. Can we?”
It’s not like this hadn’t come up before, it was just that this was the first time he was so honest about it, the first time he looked her in the eyes and seemed like he wanted a real answer.
And from the way his face was falling, he was getting it. She hadn’t even opened her mouth.

Summary
“You’d really be alright with kissing me?” he asked, and Marinette popped the cap of her dry-erase marker on and off.
“I mean, yeah,” she said, and they stared at each other for a moment. “Of course,” she hurried on, “you’d have to be alright with being my candidate. Teacher. Guide. Whatever.” She made a few empty gestures with the marker, and the loose cap flew off the end, bouncing off the wall and rolling off her desk.
Adrien caught it before it could fall to the floor, handing it back to her. “I am,” he said, looking her in the eye. “I’ll do it.”
or
a very simple four-point plan to tackle the issue of marinette's abysmal kissing life that turns into a six-point plan and also results in an outcome that literally no one could have predicted (sarcasm)
