the firebender’s guide to living life after destiny by volkswagonblues

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
Hakoda kills a Southern Raider. This backfires spectacularly. Zuko is just trying to keep four kids from dying while not being a traitor to his nation. Toph is concerned. Sokka finds himself rethinking everything he had previously considered the norm.
Or
Kuei orders all of the Fire Nation out of Ba Sing Se after Azula fails her coup. This has wider ramifications than he thought.

“So, to put this together,” Toph says to Aang in a highly-measured tone that she didn’t know she even had the capacity for. “You were sparring, you had Zuko on the ground, and you held flames close to his, you know, scarred face?”

Summary
At first, Sokka dismisses it.
He notices, they all do, that Katara feeds Zuko less. A lot less. He notices that Zuko’s portions are often burnt and lacking any care, so even the little bit he does get is barely salvageable.
Sokka notices, but he doesn’t care.
(In which Fire Benders need to eat twice as much because they create their own fire. Based off Chapter 17 of "The One Where Zuko's Hair Matches Sokka's and Other Tales")

Summary
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

Summary
A familiar hang glider caught his eyes instead. His shoulders slumped as he watched it grow smaller and smaller, disappearing into the night.
With it, his last respite vanished before his eyes.
“Conan?” Ran called from the stairs, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” Conan’s voice cracked around the quiet word. He swallowed thickly around the lump in his throat and tried again, “Nothing.”

soft whispers of my own demise by Ren_Kyun

Summary
Shinichi almost wanted to laugh. So much for being a rational person. He knew that loving someone involved a certain amount of pain and suffering, but this was a little ridiculous. He wondered if he’ll actually die—covered in a burial of morning glories that were suffocating him from the inside out.
Yet he would always choose this kind of flowery, agonizing demise rather than a withered, empty existence.

Summary
When he had seen Kudo that weekend, he could really understand Mouri's worries. Kudo looked nothing like how he usually does when the two see each other. Normally, there is a fire in his eyes. A curiosity to just look for something, anything. A curiosity the Heiji loves to feed, even if it is the most basic of stuff to do. Even if it is just working at each other's brains for different ideas and topics.
But now, all of that was stripped away. There was a dull look in his eyes, a darkness that spoke more than any words would. He looked down instead of up, and there was no expression on his face. It unsettled Heiji.
Heiji noticed how pale and tired he looked as well. He knew that Kudo didn't sleep well in general, but this seemed worse. Worse than almost every time he has seen Kudo, even in his worst moments.
It only drove the want to help his friend more and more. To at least add some light back into his eyes.
or
5 times where Heiji showed his care for Kudo, and the one time Kudo paid it back
