    Summary

    [Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.

    “Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.

    What the fuck?

    “Sokka, I—”

    Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.

    What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]

    Or:

    An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.

    But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

    Yeah, nah.

    Summary

    Silco was born in darkness. Home to him is the greasy green of oil-lamps and the buzz of the electrics, powered with bunched cables that trailed overhead and fanned out at the tunnel junctions. It's the smell of coal and tallow, stone dust and diesel backwash. It's the crunch of grit between his teeth. It's thirst. The fissure folk were always wary of miners, said they could see in the dark.

    It's true. Silco can.

    ---

    Silco endures wounds upon wounds, and still he doesn't die—but he's not the only one.

    Don't all monsters come from the dark?

    Tell me about Zaun again, Vander.

    Summary

    She has always loved music for many reasons; the patterns that present themselves, and the sheer joy of playing. Working out the fingering, and bringing joy to others. The breath before the first note. The freedom that comes from following your heart and letting it soar.

    He has always loved magic for every reason; the study of it, the power in it. The quiet contemplation of hours of learning, the thrill of application on the battlefield, and off of it. The understanding that comes from complete control of your craft.

    A retelling of the events of the game through the perspectives of a Deep Gnome Bard and Gale of Waterdeep. Some new moments, some reimagined.

    Summary

    Shouta Aizawa, retired highschool teacher and recently disabled, moves to the peaceful Pelican Town to escape the baggage of an old life. Instead, he unknowingly becomes neighbors with his despised rival faculty member, Toshinori Yagi. But something's not quite right with his new neighbor.

    As the disturbing truth of the haunted valley unravels around him, he's forced to embrace the community in his new home or lose everything. His farm must become a bastion against a flood of vengeful spirits or risk certain doom to Stardew Valley.

    It will take a village.

    (Planned Word Count: 250,000ish, Updates Weekly or Twice Monthly. Mind the tags, the story gets progressively more intense.)
