Summary
The one constant in Bobby’s life was failure. He loved and he tried and he obscured the truth with pretty words but none of it was enough to mitigate the harm his actions inevitably wrought on those he loved.
His family begged to differ.
–
Or, the one where Bobby’s family spend time in him in his hospital room after 7x09 Ashes, Ashes and remember all the good he’s brought into their lives (which, of course, contradicts any notions of failure.)

Summary
Evan Buckley-Nash has been many things over his life. But in the beginning, he was born to be Daniel Buckley’s saviour. He's never really reckoned with that fact – until he has to deal with his birth parents for the first time in almost two decades.
–
Or, Miscommunication abounds again when the Buckleys come to town as Maddie juggles the demands of both her blood and found family, Buck spirals as he is forced to confront his long-buried trauma regarding his brother’s death (while trying to keep the whole trauma thing a secret) and also insists the visit has to be kept a secret from his (adopted) dad, Hen, Chim and Eddie are trying desperately to be supportive while also attempting to understand the truth of the Buckley siblings’ past, Bobby is hopelessly confused about what in the world is happening with his son and his crew, and of course let’s not forget that Eddie still has that little black box hidden in the back of his sock drawer just waiting for the perfect moment…
In other words, things are definitely on course to blow up like a former-perfume factory on fire.
Oh, and there are flashbacks
(Or, to put it simply: it’s Evan Buckley-Nash Begins.)

Summary
“It’s not even my worst scar,” Tommy continued. “Worst injury, probably, but it doesn’t look as bad as it could have.”
“What could be worse than that?”
Tommy grinned, a little daring, a little dangerous. Buck felt his heart swoop. “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”

Summary
AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.
And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.
And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.
Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
Jon uses his strength to drag him across the floor. Damian’s instincts scream at him to find a weapon or a smoke bomb, to claw or bite or do whatever he can to get away.
He lurches upright, boots scrambling on the tiled floor. Jon laughs, grasps his left arm, and yanks with inhuman strength. Damian feels something pop.
