    Summary

    Just a missing scene at the end of The Martian. Basically, a series of events that definitely happened as the book came to a close, and some that I think are entirely possible.

    Summary

    Shouta never needed much. He had his dream—getting into the UA Heroes course—and he had Hizashi, who’d carved out his own spot in Shouta’s life. That was enough for him… until he wakes up in a dirty alleyway wearing clothes three sizes too big. Faced with an unreliable memory and a school full of strangers, Shouta struggles to unravel what happened to him.

    Summary

    Zuko knew he would never be enough, and that was okay.

    [Because if it wasn’t, he wouldn’t be able to do anything but silently start to break apart.

    And what use would he be, then?]

    ------

    On Zuko, being broken, and the gold in his life that helped rebuild him. Because like the Japanese art of kintsukuroi, mending broken pottery with gold, he is broken down, and reborn.
