    The death of a star

    The newsroom says goodbye (and good luck) to the rider who made us smile the most

    Three months after the accident, the twenty-seven-year-old rider Kakavasha breaks the silence. “For me, life is a grand race, and the circuit is a bet. I race against myself, for myself. But the real gamble starts now: my team and I still have surprises in store.”


    After a career-ending crash injures legendary rider Aventurine, ambitious, young, MotoGP rider Ratio meets his retired rival again when their shared manager Jade proposes a risky partnership: Aventurine as Ratio’s mechanic, determined to reshape the younger rider’s approach to racing.

    From Chapter VI:

    In life he has no certainties and fundamentally believes nothing is equal to anything else, but this is tangible and gives him a meaning. Veritas’ lips on his skin. Aventurine tightens his legs imperceptibly. Or at least he hopes so. It feels like a leap into the void, fastening oneself to love.

    Summary

    When Alhaitham writes a book with a protagonist based on himself, he doesn't expect to see his own character stripped bare by a fanfiction writer who "identifies really strongly" with his love interest.

    Alhaitham found himself smiling as he cooked dinner that night, thinking back on his conversation with “alkavarzaray,” the random online stranger who understood him to a terrifying degree. Creating any sort of art and allowing it to be perceived is extremely intimate in itself, but the idea that this man had properly understood and absorbed most of what Alhaitham had put out there, baring his soul— It was something between incredible and horrifying.

    Summary

    The gaang runs into a potential firebending teacher for Aang when they come to a Fire Nation town during their travels.

    Written for Zutara Week 2022 Day 3 - Hands

    -

    Katara was met with the full force of that mask, that terrible mask. Fanged and horned, with narrow eyes that glared angrily down at her, but beneath the ferocious downturned eyebrows she could see human irises shining down at her, golden amber and, she thought, looking past the monstrous exterior, a hint of curiosity.

    "Stop following me," he said.

    He was trying to intimidate her, and now that he was in front of her Katara realized how tall he was compared to her, taller than Sokka. He had looked like a boy next to the other performers, and Katara was sure he was young by the sound of his voice behind that mask. She refused to admit that his intimidation tactic might be working a little, her nerves still addled from what had happened onstage.

    She stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

    "I wanted to thank you," she said. "For saving me back there." And she took off her own mask, looking up at him and hoping that her expression looked sincere and not a bit afraid.

    Summary

    Appa's crash landing causes Zuko to become acquainted with a peculiar literary work, if one could even use the term to describe Sokka's writing. The title is bad. The premise is really bad.
    And then it gets even worse.
