Summary
Zuko scoffed. “As always, I am the author of my own unhappiness.”
Sokka hummed. “Years ago, when it was just us travelling together, we came across this fortune teller. I didn’t believe any of that mumbo-jumbo. But then she said that my life would be full of struggle and anguish, most of it self-inflicted.”
It suited Zuko’s life extraordinarily well, he felt. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m the only person in the Fire Nation who has a vision of what it takes for this country to get better.”
Sokka turned to face him, but Zuko looked resolutely forwards. “That can’t be true.”
Zuko turns twenty-five. In spite of his best efforts, the Fire Nation seems to lurch from crisis to crisis. The firebenders have lost their flame, and the situation with the former colonies is only worsening. All the while, he's ill, lonely, and consumed by work.
And on the other side of the country, Sokka has just moved in with one Master Piandao.

Summary
“My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”
Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”
“That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.
“Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”
OR
When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

Summary
As he stood by the edge of the crater, looking down into its content, he heard Optimus’ words playing on a loop in his head.
As he watched the colourful metal flinch in pain trying to move, he remember the horror stories shared by Arcee.
As he saw the blue splashes of Energon on the arms, he thinks back… to looking at his poor brother every time he was in the hospital.
As he saw the pool of Energon under the broken up chassis, he understood.
He had never before understood his mom like he did now.
Or
Noah, after rebuilding Mirage after the fight in Peru, starts learning about Cybertronians and how they work, effectively becoming their human medic. But one crash landing later, and all his new knowledge will be put to the test.

Summary
...Personally, Keith thought that “The Pink Book of Joy” was a very stupid title. But the readers from the numerous galaxies didn’t share his opinion. In the first quintant after the initial launch of the promotional campaign for Lance's book, the number of sold copies jumped into zillions.
It took Keith almost two years to realize what Lance meant in his memoirs and come visit him at his farm, daring to hope. But now he is not the only one who wants Lance for himself. (Fans are a force to be reckoned with, especially the supposed 'true believers'.)

Summary
Rochelle, Ellis, Coach, and Nick arrive AFTER the Vannah Hotel burns, and without the helicopter and graffiti to guide them they take a different path on their search for rescue. The apocalypse brought them together, and it may just tear them apart again... or, to pieces.
Character development and plot-heavy, Blind Man's Bluff has a primary focus on the Nick/Ellis pairing while spanning the full breadth of an alternate campaign route.

Summary
“How many catowls do you have to see to think it’s strange? Before you’d notice something was wrong?”
It had taken Zuko all of two seconds to come up with his answer, a scowl on his face and fists clenched at his sides.
“One. Catowls aren’t native to the Fire Nation: only the Earth Kingdom.”
In the moment, Zuko was so sure and so strong-willed that it only made sense. But he was wrong.
The answer was three catowls. The first wouldn’t seem real. After all, he’d never seen it before, so it was probably a fluke. The second would be real, sure, but he’d assume that would be the first catowl, and would think that maybe it was migrating. The third catowl would finally tip him over the edge. Because catowls didn’t travel in threes.
There was only one eclipse. Somehow, he had lived three others in the last few days.
The question was, Why? What did the spirits want him to do?

Summary
As everything ends, as the tower crumbles around them, Jon and Martin hold each other in a firm embrace. What they see of the world shatters, and Jon breaks with it. He awakened, alone, confused, and something was terribly wrong with him.
I created my account specifically because moth jon moth jon moTH JON MOTH JO-
(yes the title is a music reference, sue me; most of the chapter titles are going to be references to songs used for Magnus Archives AMVs, or The Mechanisms lyrics)
This work is somewhat inspired by this fanfic by Deanpala, in which Jon dies at the end of S5 and is sent back into the world of S1 MAG as a moth-monster archivist entity (it's good and quite a bit more fluffy than mine)Series

As their connection deepens, Muir grapples with the growing conflict between his duty to the ocean and his burgeoning feelings for Innes.

She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)
