    Summary

    Zuko was probably more involved in the gossip around the palace than he had any right to be.

    It’s not his fault, it’s really not. It’s just that sometimes he’s sitting in the kitchens (the best place to get the gossip) drinking tea and trying to relax for once, and some of the kitchen staff will start gossiping where he can still hear them. He doesn’t really try to listen in; it’s not his place and he won’t judge the staff based on whatever rumors are running around, but Spirits is it interesting. He tries not to listen too much, or get too invested in it though. Gossip is gossip after all, and rumors hardly ever turn out to be true.

    But Zuko absolutely needs to know if Maya from the laundry room broke up with her piece of shit boyfriend.

    Or, 5 times Zuko got invested in/meddled in palace gossip, and 1 time he was the subject of the gossip.

    Summary

    “The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill.”

    When a Qian Cao disciple catches a glimpse of Luo Binghe’s severe injuries, he reports his suspicions of abuse to Mu Qingfang, who brings the case to the sect leader.

    While Yue Qingyuan refuses to punish his Xiao Jiu, he does agree to transfer Luo Binghe to Xing Sheng, the beast peak. The disciples there have a reputation for being happy and well-adjusted, if a little too spoiled by their Shizun.

    Shen Qingyuan, lord of Xing Sheng, is thrilled to have a new disciple to fuss over. Now, if only he could pull this turtle-duck out of his shell…

    Summary

    The first time around, he sees everyone around him drop dead one by one, eliminated early in the game so they’re not a threat later. He sees Father suck the life of all those that made it far enough. He sees Al’s eyes dim in the armor, and Ed just… gives up.

    Truth has other plans.

    —§—

    “You’ll be able to go back, time and time again, until you fix things. When you do, I’ll give your little brother his body back. Equivalent exchange.”

    It’s too good to be true. There has to be a catch somewhere.

    “What do you say, Mister Al-che-mist?”

    (Ed is foolish enough to accept on the spot.)
