    Summary

    “Well, it’s your birthday, isn’t it?”

    Venti’s hand stops, his drink only halfway to his lips. “It is?”

    Diluc looks up, looking equally confused. “It isn’t?”

    “I mean, you’re probably right, but-” Venti sets his glass down and peers at Diluc. “Hey, who told you about my birthday?”

    “The Traveler,” Diluc replies, suddenly sounding unsure of himself. “The sixteenth of June, right?”

    “It’s June?!”

    In which Venti doesn't realise it's his birthday.

    Summary

    Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.

    When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.

    Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.

    (Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

    Summary

    [In another life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison outside Pao’s teashop, dresses himself in black, and resumes his mission with the kind of single-minded focus he hadn’t been able to muster for months.

    In this life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison, stares at it for a bit with his insides roiling around his heart like a ship caught in a storm, and crumples it up in one hand before tossing it into the trash and going back inside.]

    Sometime during late spring in the city of Ba Sing Se, Zuko serves tea (badly), falls in love (maybe), and deals with a chronic illness of the soul.

    AU continuation of "Let the City Pull You Under".
