Summary
From one end of the world to the other, the crew of the Wani have sailed far and somehow kept themselves safe despite everything. The Northern Water Tribes and the loss of their commanding officers sees things changing, however, and the fate of the world is about to stagger in an entirely new direction.
But first, there is this: the moon, red and bloody; the ocean, a gaping maw; a hand, outstretched and hauling you to safety.
(Ozai thought he burned the care out of his son with a fistful of flames. Rako is the evidence that he failed.)

Summary
In Konoha, there are many people—and Sakura is only one among many; a civilian-born pushed aside for better and brighter students. Those who see her don’t truly see her, eyes passing over her like she’s not someone worth noticing.
Sakura knows better. She gets better, too. Learns to listen. Learns to watch. Konoha might not know the lessons she’s teaching, but Sakura learns all the same.
For the people who know, Sakura’s a genius at chakra control and all the stubborn willpower to be great. Thankfully, not many know—and those that do, well, they know to keep their mouths shut.

Twice-born Souls by FiresFromOurHearts
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
18 Nov 2025
Summary
We, those twice-born souls, are benders both divided and united by our own elements. We, protectors of Raava, were granted our abilities and positions to assist in smaller matters before they became greater matters. It is our blessing and our curse to stand as we have stood for many years, and will stand for many more.
--- excerpt from ‘Yiwu: the Avatar’s Protectors’ by Anonymous (tattered copy found in Wan Shi Tong’s library)The spirits are not willing to leave things as they stand. The world has been out of balance for too long, and it's time to that things be fixed. Now, if only people didn't have their own lives and worries and fears to deal with.
(In which Zuko and Iroh are not alone in the Earth Kingdom, Ba Sing Se has a lot more going on than one would think, and the thing about caring is that sometimes its infectious.)

Summary
Sometimes a family is you and your cousin and your many, many friends with not-so-legal activities (also known as "crimes").
And, well, Konoha's government is perhaps a tiny bit corrupt, so perhaps they can do something about that too.

Summary
The Uchiha Clan is massacred and all fingers point to Itachi, but there are many taking advantage of the chaos caused. In the backstreets of Konoha, a child is killed. In the office of the Hokage, a shinobi is killed. In the graveyard of a Clan, a child screams.
Konoha is thrown into disarray, but Godaime Hokage, Shimura Danzo, will ensure that Konoha remains strong in these times. Not everyone, however, is happy about this turn of events--and the peace shatters.
(In which there are rebellions, tragedies, farms, and kindness. If the world must fall, let it first be fought for.)

The Perils of Choice by GalahadsGurl for RueTheDay22

Summary
The steering wheel slipped in Javi's hands, slick with blood from where the glass had carved through his palm. His shoulder screamed every time he shifted gears, something definitely wrong with the joint after the truck had rolled twice before slamming into that ditch. But he kept driving, kept pushing through the haze of pain and exhaustion because he couldn't stop. Not here. Not where Tyler might find him, or Kate might look for him with those eyes full of guilt and something that wasn't quite love but felt close enough to hurt.

Summary
Tom calls early that morning, so early the sun isn't even up, but Ron answers anyway. It takes two, three, nearly four minutes for Tom to get out what he wants to ask. Ron doesn't rush him. He just waits, listens, and when the request finally slips down the phoneline, he gets into his car and makes his way to the airport. He catches the date on the way out. It's been half a year since Bradley's disappeared - gone, stolen away, no contact - but if his front seater wants to wait around baggage claim all day in the hopes that he'll see the kid, then Ron will be by his side. It's what any good RIO would do.
Or, Slider helps Ice try to bring Bradley home for Christmas after the pulled-papers fight. It goes better than either one expects, and Slider's left reevaluating his place in Bradley's life.

Summary
He and Jake have been many things to each other, from rivals to genuine enemies to tentative friends to lovers. But they’ve never once, in their entire acquaintance, been awkward with one another. Even in those early days of a relationship, when the boundaries between friendship and something more were soft and blurry, Bradley never felt at a loss for words. They fight and they fuck and they whisper embarrassingly soft things and they banter inconsequentially, but they’re never silent. But they’ve never been broken up before.

Summary
A road trip traversing the country, growing up before you're fully ready, and Bradley: destructive, dealing with it, and deeply in love.
He didn’t care if his shirt was stuck to his back from the muggy heat of the subway, or if someone had spilled their halal cart onto the platform and it was sticking to the bottom of his shoe. This – the grime, the rumble of the tracks, the sticky air, and Jake looking at him – was the most romantic city, a cacophony crash for the two of them.
