In the aftermath of the siege of the North Pole, Prince Zuko winds up adrift and is "rescued" by the warriors of the Southern Water Tribe. Trapped on a wooden ship in the middle of the ocean, Zuko tries his hardest to stay in control of his bending and his temper with the Water Tribe crew that holds him captive. But when Chief Hakoda's efforts to wrangle the Fire Prince include tying the two of them together to keep an eye on him, Zuko's position on the ship and fight for control gets tangled, as the lines between warden and parental figure weave together and the two become attached in ways they never expected at the end of his rope.

Summary
They say that in the beginning, Dragons taught the first fire benders how to live a life of flames and burning purpose. They say Agni chose the first Fire Lord because he was a boy with unending passion who became a man with great loyalty. Who better to lead his children than one who loved them absolutely? But times have changed. The Fire Lords stopped listening to him ages ago, and now - Now his real chosen has been spurned, cast out, abandoned.
The Fire Nation will pay for ignoring him. The Fire Nation will answer for the imbalance it has allowed. The Fire Nation will not ignore him this time -he'll make sure of it.Book one: Chapters > 1-21

Running the Gauntlet by adventuresofcomicbookgirl
Fandoms: Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends
06 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
Apparently, spending most of his life running from yokai made Natsume faster than the average person. Natsume had experienced a lot of reoccurring horrors, but the most annoying of them was being hounded by track coaches at every school he went to.
And then, one fateful sports day at his school, he wins a relay race for the sake of friendship and his personal hell returns...
This was based on a silly tumblr post I made about how great at running Natsume must be,and what if track coaches noticed that, which I'll link in the description. Tumblr user schrodingersauthorii also left a comment on said post that gave me an idea for parts of the fic.
Lots of friendship in this, lots of everyone loving and wanting to protect Natsume, all that good stuff.

Summary
Kitamoto and Nishimura are soulmates, to absolutely no one's surprise.
But they're also soulmates with a very shy boy who lives somewhere far away, who writes to them in tiny, careful letters right before bed, who apologizes when the mimicry of bruises pop up on their arms and backs because of him.
And that's a surprise to a lot of people.

Summary
16-year-old Ezra Standish could still remember quite clearly his shock and dismay the first time he was forced to attend a Junior Rodeo. Four years later he looked back on that day as the turning point in his young life and the memory of it would often force a rueful smile to his face.
The first part of the Junior Rodeo had been just as bad as he'd feared; 45 minutes of small children bouncing around on fat ponies accompanied by the enthusiastic screams of friends and relatives.
The second half of the competition was divided into two age groups, 13-15 and 16-18. As he had absolutely nothing else to do, Ezra watched the contestants and gradually realized there was a remarkable difference between the horsemanship of a 9-year-old and a teenager. The older kids were more in tune with their horse's movements.
Boredom slowly, grudgingly grew into interest and by the end of the competition, if the emotions he'd felt weren't exactly appreciation and respect they had been something very close. Close enough that when, a week later Buck had once more offered to give him riding lessons he'd actually accepted.

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
Tim’s been watching Batman and Robin for a while, okay? He understands what crime is. But then Batman turns a guy over to the police for reasons Tim doesn’t understand at all. It’s not a crime to hit your kids so they know what they did wrong, right? So Tim asks Batman about it. And, well, to say it quickly goes sideways is an understatement, AKA, what will later be referred to as “that time Tim tried blackmailing Batman to not call Child Protective Services.”

Summary
@lieutenantobvious | so batman hates batgirl, huh
@ohnoourtableitsbroken3 | omg why is this so embarrassing??? im embarrassed FOR her
@sugarsweetbabiex | god i want batdaddy to shout at me too
Babs sees a little face over her crossword puzzle and a pair of impossibly light blue eyes looking at her. She jolts, clutching her chest.
“Hi,” Tim says obliviously, casually balancing his weight on her drawn-up knees with his soft gummy palms. “You look sad.”
--
15-year-old Babs has never needed validation from anyone, but... Batman's latest words to her have left her spiraling. It would be a good time for a mental health break, if not for the men trying to kidnap 5-year-old Timothy Drake while she's babysitting him.- Language:

“He broke my camera!” Tim wails, incensed. “Not a crack, not a dent; it’s nothing but a pile of glass because he broke it!”
“And his ankle,” Robin adds.
“And my ankle!”
“...I accidentally hit him with my car,” Batman reluctantly offers when Dr. Thompkins raises her eyebrow at him, causing her to choke on her next breath.
(Or: One evening while birdwatching, a ten year old Tim Drake gets run over by the Batmobile.)
