    Summary

    Al-Haitham’s grandmother made a deal with the stars to give him a second chance of life. He didn't think much of it at first.

    But he entered the Akadeymia and saw Kaveh, who shone like the sun, and realized he made a strong miscalculation.

    When the sun cried and yelled that he wished he never knew him, Al-Haitham accepted he would die young.
    .

    Al-Haitham is cursed to turn into a star on his thirtieth birthday unless he confesses his love. It’s not as easy as it seems to be.

    Summary

    “This is partially my fault, isn’t it?” Kaveh whispers abruptly, his spoon clattering against the table.

    Al-Haitham frowns, the look of uncertainty so foreign upon his features. “You’ll need to be a little more specific—”

    “Back then, our thesis…!” Kaveh interjects, voice growing a little sharper, and tinged with a hint of regret. He exhales, one hand raised to massage fretfully against his right temple. “I was the one who tore our—The one who said all those… hurtful things as well….”

    In which Kaveh finally meets Al-Haitham's imaginary friends.

    Summary

    "My brother was in the 41st Division."

     

    ---

    What if Chit Sang knew what Zuko did, knew what the Prince had stood up for, and thanked him? And what if that lead to more secrets coming to light, unable to stay covered when the sun choose to shine down upon it?

    Aka, my take on how the Chit Sang would reveal what Zuko stood for to the Gaang + Hakoda, and how it would be seen. I did this all while listening to "Things We Lost In The Fire" by Bastille on repeat. (I had to, at some point, make an obligatory Gaang finds out about the scar with added spice!)

    Summary

    5 times someone wondered how Zuko got his scar and one time he wondered as well.

    Zuko and his scar had remained a mystery to the others for as long as they’d known him.

    Zuko regards his scar with a similar kind of mystery.

    After all, how easy could it have been?

    Summary

    Set after the Boiling Rock, Sokka just wants to help Zuko however he can. This leads to a small argument with Katara, where Zuko tries to protect Sokka and Katara from Hakoda (Hakoda wasn't going to hurt them, but how would Zuko know that having had Ozai as his father). Sokka listens to Zuko explain his childhood, having made several guesses about how bad it was after seeing how Zuko reacted to Hakoda. Hurt/Comfort.

    Summary

    "Look, man, that open ceiling has to be a security issue," Sokka says. Ahead of them, Toph's already climbed onto the stage. "What is this place, anyway? Is it for, like, performances? Dancers? What does the Fire Nation do for entertainment other than burn stuff down?"

    "It's an arena, actually," Zuko says. His voice feels distant from him, like it's speaking without his input. "It's used for Agni Kai."

    -

    A few months after the war, the gang stumbles upon a room in the palace. Or, more accurately, the room.

    Summary

    “But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.

    There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”

    “I don’t understand."

    “I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.

     

    ~

     

    Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.

    …It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.

    Summary

    Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.

    Or,

    Summary

    Clorinde takes pride in things she can do well. That this, too, is a possibility for her hands. Stained by blood but also by earth. Gunpowder and soil. After all, things must be kept in balance: a Fontainian Duelist is, at their core, an equaliser. Operating on exchanges. This is what Clorinde gives back for what she takes, maybe. What her hands work for in exchange for what they wish to hold.

    Summary

    Occam's razor posits that the simplest explanation for an occurrence is most likely the correct one.

    Haitham values truth and logic. And simplicity. It is only natural that he would agree.

    And yet, when Kaveh cares for him time and time again in the moments when he finds himself losing time, frustratingly unable to care for himself, the idea of such a simple explanation seems entirely unbelievable. It can't be true. Haitham has done nothing to deserve the conclusion that the logical parts of his mind draw him towards.

    Summary

    " Cyno had always been a protective person. At first, perhaps, thanks to his hostile upbringing - the people who cared about him were a precious few. Then he joined the Akademiya and those anxieties didn't leave him; the environment weathered to something near peaceful (though his fellow students often disagreed), but he was hardwired to worry. "

    Or:

    Cyno loves his boyfriends but he finds himself anxious over their wellbeing. It's not as much of an issue with Ahaitham, but when he gets hurt Cyno can't help but blame himself. Comfort ensues.
