Summary
The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”
Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”
“Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”
Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

Summary
Asking Kiryu on a date is supposed to be a joke. It’s just another in Majima’s long list of contrived reasons for Kiryu to get mad enough at him to fight him.
So he’s thrown for a loop when Kiryu doesn’t answer him by punching him in face, but by accepting.
Obviously Kiryu’s playing along, just like he did with the bartender scheme, and with Goromi, and everything else. Majima can work with that. There’s no way he’ll crack before Kiryu does.
Or: Majima commits to the bit so hard he ends up in a long-term relationship.

Summary
Killua's life—after his soul was rudely thrown into the body of Uchiha Sasuke, but that was a situation he was more or less resigned to—seemed pretty straightforward. Learn, get stronger, and then strangle Uchiha Itachi with his own insides before setting the remains aflame and scattering them in the wind.
At least, it seemed simple until a blond kid with ocean-blue eyes came along and toppled Sasuke’s carefully laid plans of fiery revenge like a house of cards. There was hidden rage in those eyes and potential for violence so beautiful Sasuke wanted to see it bloom. And if there was one thing both the Zoldyck and the Uchiha agreed on, it was that what they wanted was already theirs.
“Sasuke looked into those eyes and suddenly knew that if he asked, Naruto would readily cut off a piece of his own skin and give it to him with a smile.
He shivered, lips parting to suck in a reverent, earning breath. Ador squeezed his heart and held it hostage.
He hid his expression in Naruto’s neck, but it did nothing to disguise the shiver that went up his spine.”

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
