Summary
Agni has stood by as his children have used their gifts to burn the world, consumed with despair but reluctant to interfere. When the one who is meant to act as his intermediary in the mortal realm burns his own son in a shocking act of cruelty in front of a crowd who fail to step in, that is the final straw.
The Fire Nation descends into chaos at the sudden loss of firebending, & the war becomes bloodier still, as the troops fight on out of sheer desperation, terrified that a reckoning is now due.
And then Iroh, tending his injured nephew while trying to keep him safe from a vengeful father who blames him for this calamity, realises that Zuko's inner flame still burns...

Summary
Mai supposes it isn’t quite fair to heap all of the blame on Ty Lee. After all, Ty Lee likely had no idea what her actions had led to. Mai couldn’t entirely fault her for running off to the circus. What Mai could fault Ty Lee for was leaving without telling her. Mai would have understood. More than understood, Mai would have gone with her. Instead, Mai is trapped as an army of servants prepare her for her moment of reckoning.
Today is her wedding day.
An alternate-universe Maiko adventure.

Summary
On the day before Ba Sing Se falls, Katara decides two things: 1) not to stop for a cup of tea; 2) consequently, the fate of the world.
Behind the walls, Zuko loses sleep, runs errands, contemplates treason, and drinks a lot of hot leaf juice—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
severus snape before, during, and after the war.
he wanted to save the children, every single one of them, but every time he made up his mind that this year would be the last time, that this time he’d do something, he’d get up, and walk into the teacher's lounge, and tell them all what’s what –
all he could think of was the times he’d done it as a child himself. when he’d gone into the teacher’s lounge and begged them all to do something. begged them all to believe him. about his father, about the marauders, about any of it. or all of it.
the wizarding world is simply not a world where children get saved.

Summary
All Gwaine wanted was to find out Merlin's last name. He wasn't expecting to get caught up in assassinations and intrigue, in prophecy and fate, or in a silent war that had apparently been going on since before he came to Camelot.
With witch-finders and sorcerers of unknown loyalties running through the halls of Camelot, will Gwaine's own past make or break his friendships... especially when Merlin's biggest secret is revealed?
Truths will come to light. Brotherhoods will be tested. And, in the end, will anyone's secrets be safe?
