    Summary

    Klaus doesn't particularly care for the smart mouth or exaggerated gesticulating the new postman exhibits on their nightly trips, and makes his displeasure known through silence. You'd think the postman would learn, would figure out that Klaus has no desire to have a conversation with a spoiled man-child at midnight. But Jesper doesn't, and Klaus refuses to waste his words on the young man to explain that he's not looking to connect with anyone on any level after...after her.

    But when Jesper comes out of a house one night with burnt hands and bloody footsteps, barely batting an eye, Klaus realizes there is much more to Jesper's story than meets the eye. Swallowing his pride, Klaus tries his best to learn more, as uneasy concern begins to grow for this Russian-doll of a young man. But is it too little, too late? After all, Klaus isn't the only one good at the silent treatment, and Jesper knows, too, that all relationships come at a cost.

     

    Klaus (2019) Au, with a slightly younger Jesper that has a vastly different backstory.

    Summary

    Zuko: I’m not sick
    Zuko: *is sick*

    Zuko catches a bad cold, but of course he doesn’t want to admit it or let the Gaang take care of him. He can’t hide it for too long before they find out, and they’re not going to let him take care of himself alone.

    Summary

    A realization that’s been lapping at the edges of Sokka’s mind all night finally crashes over him in a wave. “You really hate yourself,” he says slowly, as the cold understanding sinks in.

    Zuko’s glare could melt glaciers. “You wouldn’t, if you’d done all the things I’ve done?” he says, which would be fair, except — it’s not just about the things Zuko’s done, is it? It’s also about the things he hasn’t. Zuko hates himself for things that are his fault, and things that aren’t. For who he is, and who he hasn’t managed to be.

    And Sokka can see, with sudden, sharp clarity, that if he were to plot the strength of Zuko’s self-hatred alongside the strength of his bending over time, the two lines would hug in almost perfect sync. Which leaves Sokka with only one question: whether someone’s self-loathing could run so deep and unrelenting that it sustains their bending for the better part of a decade.

    The night before going in search of Sun Warrior ruins, Zuko starts to doubt that hatred is the source of his bending after all. Sokka helps him figure out what it really is.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of King’s Tide, the draining spell has more of a lasting impact on Hunter than everyone initially thought. As he is looked after in the Noceda house, Hunter must come to terms with the fact he deserves to be taken care of.

    And perhaps, even loved.
