Summary
As she watches Lee and Kya avoid each other's eyes from across the room, the phrase comes back to her, swift and silent:
"To hesitate is to lose."
.
As Song treats the victim of an unfortunate interaction with a rare poisonous flower, her day takes an unexpected turn when it becomes apparent that the old man's nephew and her assistant have history.
A vivid history.

Summary
Four years into the Fourth Shinobi War, Orochimaru offers to turn. He all but requests Sakura by name to be the contact. It is, quite clearly, a trap—least of all because he's supposed to be dead. But what is a losing side to do except take the hand that's offered?- Language:

Summary
After the war, Katara loses herself in the rhythms of tribal life. In the South Pole the moon is sovereign. Deep in the ice and snow, in the heart of her element, it is easy to forget that there is a land of fire and smoke and ash. The kingdom of the sun. Of dragons. Her journey with the Avatar slips into memory. A strange past life, shadowy and ephemeral.
But some things do not stay consigned to twilight, nor to history.
She is 20 years old when she sees him again.
