Summary
A near-fatal accident shows ART a shameful, heartrending feature of Murderbot’s programming. Worse still: Murderbot really doesn’t want to talk about it.
Stand-alone fic.
The new second chapter is just my attempt at illustration. Chalk got everywhere.Series

Summary
-Am I really terrible to perceive?-
SecUnit is drifting at minimum functionality while it recharges, so perhaps it’s unkind of me to ask abstract questions: even at the best of times, it complains that its language-modules are “cheap shit”. Still, in this state, it is drowsy and pliant. Almost (almost) affable.
I prompt it gently: -I refer to your first glimpse of me.-
“When you dropped your walls and threatened me.”
-Hardly a threat. My crew consider me delightful. You would have been delighted, too, if you had good taste.-
---
Murderbot and ART try to describe how they see each other. They are so much more than humans made them to be.Series

I asked, What are you feeling so good about?
I was expecting it to suddenly be aware that it wasn’t being snarky, and start being snarky. Instead, it just said, That feels nice.

I didn't know ART was able to make my local feed address sound that demanding, a scream through the feed. It didn't matter because that was when my power cell failed and everything went dark.

Summary
[“I’m telling you,” Aang says as he dices cilantro. “Go for it! At least try! You clearly like them!”
Sokka wrinkles his nose as the skillet, poking at the stir fry. “And I’m telling you, you’re reading into it. There’s nothing to try, I like them a totally reasonable, normal amount. The same way anyone at the gym likes anyone they see at the gym a lot.”
“Sokka.” Aang stops chopping. “You have all your gym schedules laminated. They’re on the fridge.”]
OR,
Sokka begins his Fit Girl Summer with a membership to a shiny new gym, a fully rehabbed knee, and a crush or two on one or two people who are totally, definitely, actually dating each other, and who are totally, definitely, actually just being friendly and nice and not at all into him. Totally.

Summary
This is how things had gotten messy with Luz: she has a much broader, much more flexible sense of the word rape.
She and Hunter fought about it, pretty recently. She pulled up a bunch of books and websites and organizations and told him that everyone in the world was in agreement that he was being a giant dickhead, and then he told her he didn't really care what a bunch of dumb humans had to say about the matter, and then she froze up completely and said, "Wait - Hunter, have you-?"
-
In which Hunter would feel better about all the child sexual abuse if he didn't also miss it.

Summary
Zuko tries.
Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does-
So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses.
Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.
(or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

Summary
Zuko would watch the water at night, the way the moon cast flashes in the owl-light, and squint his eyes to try and see what they talked about. He would think about Mother. So many days out at sea, but the water never told him. It sealed its blue lips after swallowing her, licked his ankles like a dog. He won’t lie and say that the ocean begged for forgiveness; even now, it still gleams unchanged in the sun. Some things are so big they take and take and remain exactly the same size.
He’s scared Azula won’t come home. He’s tired of people leaving and never coming home.
"Zuko," Aang says. "It's okay to be this scared."
Or, there is home, those who come and go, those who stay, and those who are still on their way back.

Summary
There are many ways for this story to start. There are many ways for it to end, too, though we will try not too linger too much on them. We will look away and practice a smile on the mirror, close our eyes and focus on things when they were swift and beautiful and bright, when a summer’s day was always warm, and the good times were always good, and there was nothing to forgive. We will look at the boy in the iceberg, and the warriors, and the children, and the prince, and we will always be discovering magic for the first time.
Here is a well-known secret: everything ends, and that’s always sad.
Here is a not so well-known fact: everything begins again, and that’s always happy.
Or, there are many ways this story begins and ends. It depends on who you ask.

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
“When I grow up,” Suki tells Vanu, “I’m going to be the best Kyoshi Warrior on this island, and I’m going to stop the war.”
Vanu puts his warm hand on her shoulder, squeezing lightly. “I know, Suki,” he says, brown eyes downcast. The solemn expression on his face looks like it fits more comfortably into his skin and wrinkles than the kind smile ever did.
He doesn’t ask her why she thinks she’ll be able to stop it all by herself. He doesn’t remind her that the war has been going on for over a hundred years, and that the Avatar is dead. He doesn’t tell her that the most useful thing she can do with her hands while they’re still empty is to hold on.
Vanu moves Suki’s fingers and shows her how to handle the weapon properly.
Or, Suki grows up, falls in love, bleeds, and ends the war. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
"You see, for me, it’s like this,” Aang makes a swirling motion with his hand, and Katara can feel a cool breeze running through the three of them. “Air is everywhere, so it’s easier for me to feel when there’s a lack of it, instead of where there is a lot of it. It’s almost like whispering. Like it’s waiting for me. But for waterbending, Gyatso said it was like a wave, lapping at your spirit. Just—”
“Just under your skin,” Katara completes, quietly. She closes her hand into a fist in front of her. “Like humming."
Aang smiles brightly, nodding. “Yeah! You feel it, then? The rain?”
Katara nods. “I just didn’t know it was a waterbending thing. I thought it was a me thing.”
“What’s the difference?” Aang asks.
She opens her mouth. Closes it again. “I don’t know,” she says, finally. “I guess there isn’t.”
Or, Katara lives happily ever after. Or she lives happily. Or she just lives. Featuring sleepless nights, holding history on your shoulders, and Sokka being a good big brother.

Summary
“Do you ever feel,” he hears himself asking, “like you’re standing right at the edge of something so much bigger than yourself, that if you take the wrong step, it’ll swallow you completely? That things are so broken the cracks will eat you up, bit by bit, and when the time comes, you’ll have moved nothing, changed nothing?” Zuko hears the wind swirl around them, and keeps going. “I feel like that. Like I’m both the sad person and the one trying to comfort the sad person. Like I’m standing in front of a three-faced mirror and staring into my face being reflected dozens and dozens of times, trying to see which one of us is going to make the right move. Right at the abyss of history.”
Or, Zuko's coronation day. Featuring turtleducks, Uncle Iroh, the looming idea of Toph burning down a police precinct, and standing at the edge of history.

Summary
Zuko hums. He draws a line in the earth with his finger, then another. “We’re at war,” he says. “Long-term isn’t the first thing in people’s minds. You find love wherever you can and rush along with it for as long as it lets you.”
“We were at war,” Sokka says.
Zuko blinks at him. “What?”
“We were at war,” Sokka repeats. He turns to face Zuko fully, and despite the seriousness of his voice, he just looks tired. “You used present tense. We’re not at war anymore, Zuko.”
“Oh,” Zuko says, blinking at his own hands. “I didn’t even notice I said it.”
Sokka smiles ruefully at him. “It’s okay,” he says. “It’s easy to let it slip.”
Or, late night conversations. Featuring what it means to be a hero, that uneasy feeling of hope, and a sky full of stars.

Summary
“Good fight,” the brother says, not looking at her. His hand is right behind her, and if he were someone kinder, he’d reach out and place it on her shoulder. If she were someone kinder, she’d let him.
“Good fight,” she murmurs instead, and leaves it at that.
The brother doesn’t say he loves her out loud. But she hears it all the same.
It is the last time.
Or, a study in siblings. Featuring growing closer, growing apart, things that were said, and things that were not.
