  5. Summary

    NOTE: All fics here contain fictionalized versions of my perception of actual people - basically characterizations based off of how I perceive them. This is not meant to be a serious portrayal, nor an accurate depiction. These are real people deserving of respect, especially to their privacy and real lives. If any real person who a character is based off of in these fics announces they are not comfortable with any portrayal of themself in written works please let me know and the fic containing them will be taken down or edited accordingly. Thank you!

    Summary

    “Momma,” The child is the first to break the heavy silence, but she doesn’t turn to face her, though her kneading does stop, the sting of her too-sharp claws no longer pricking at her shell, “am I only half a person?”

    Or: Herrah comforts her daughter as her self-worth is brought into question.

    Summary

    Things… change.

    Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.

    …And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.

    Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.
