    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Gakushuu’s eyes wander back to the water, staring into the flowing currents beneath them. His traitorous mind whispers to him, leaning closer to the fall. But before he can stop it, a question already slips past his lips.

    “What’s it like?”

    “What do you mean?” Ikeda looks at him.

    Gakushuu watches the water below, observing the foam on top of it swirling around, light as if it were cotton. A longing crosses his eyes before he looks away and sets his gaze on the horizon line in the distance. After a few moments, he speaks again.

    “Drowning. What is it like?”

    Gakushuu starts to continuously see a strange boy, who bears an eerie resemblance to his father’s deceased student. First, he chalks it up to a coincidence or his imagination, but after a while, the stranger confronts him.

    Claiming to be Ikeda Rikuto.

    Or: Gakushuu and ghost Ikeda.

    Summary

    After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.

    Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.

    Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)

    Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.

    Her father may have made a slight tactical error.
