    Summary

    Percy is planning to propose to Annabeth, but there are a few people he must speak to first. He's never been very good at asking for permission, but he'll do anything for love. And maybe, somewhere along the way, he can help to bring certain people closer together.

    Or, 5 times Percy Jackson managed to surprise the unsurprisable, and the 1 time he was not surprised (for once in his life).

    Summary

    “It’s healing really well.” Katara tells him with a smile, before her lips quirk down into a frown. “Though it’ll still scar pretty bad.” 

    Zuko shrugs. “It’s ok. I doubt people will really focus on it anyway… the one on my face is a bit more prominent.”

    Katara makes a face, like she’s not quite sure if she should laugh or frown, when Toph speaks up. 

    “You have a scar on your face?” Toph asks, sitting up so she’s sitting by his legs rather than lying on them.

    Zuko blinks. He never quite forgets that Toph is blind, but the fact that she can’t see his scar never really occurred to him.

    “Oh, yeah.” Zuko looks down at his lap. “My father burned like, half my face off before I was banished.” He says it a little too casually, probably not bitterly enough. 

    A crash next to him makes him look up, to see Katara's horrified expression, and a shattered bowl of water at her feet.

    No one says anything for a long moment. 

    “Zuko… it- your dad?” Katara finally manages to gasp out. Zuko blinks at her, his brain moving slowly. 

    “You didn’t know?” He asks in genuine surprise.

    “No.” Sokka wheezes. 

    Zuko blinks at him. “Oh.” Is all he can manage to say.

    Summary

    “It’s pretty impressive that you know how to fight with weapons when you can bend fire,” Sokka says, and Zuko promptly drops both swords.

    Okay, yeah, that was strange.

    Summary

    The realisation that Rue’s body must still be warm under Katniss’s touch makes Johanna vomit there and then.

    Except she hasn’t eaten anything sufficient for days so all that comes up is bile as she retches and tears stream down her face.

     

    If Finnick saw her like this, she thinks, he would unplug her television and make her sit outside in the cold. Pull her against him and rub at the gooseflesh on her arms like a brother would his younger sister. He’d ruffle her hair maybe, squeeze her shoulder comfortingly. Tell her that it’s going to be okay.

     

    But Finnick isn’t here. No one is.

    And so, without anyone to stop her from doing so,  Johanna continues watching the Games.

     

    or

     

    Johanna Mason and Finnick Odair watch the 74th Hunger Games.

    Summary

    They gravitated towards Zuko whenever the temperature dipped even slightly. At night, he often woke to someone pulling their bedroll towards him, or slipping under his arm, or turning over in their sleep and colliding with his shoulder.

    It alarmed him, at first. It had never been a good thing when someone woke him in the dead of the night.

    It was strange, then, that he was on the run without Uncle, officially a traitor to his homeland, and for the first time since his mother left, he woke in the night sandwiched between bodies, feeling safe.

     

    (Zuko becomes the group's heat-pack.)
