---
The hatchling attempts to complete the Nomai's mission. Unexpectedly, they wake up on Timber Hearth, disoriented, panicked, and decidedly alive. -

Summary
“What’s so awesome about space, anyway?” Marl’s voice says from beyond your field of view.
Annoyed heat washes over you, and you sit up quickly enough to make your head spin. The effect is further worsened when you have to twist around to glare petulantly at Marl. It isn’t as threatening as it would be with blades of grass still sticking to your head. “What isn’t?”
Hal says, “I just like hearing the stories about Feldspar.”
“Exactly!” you blurt. “Don’t you wanna be like them and see it all for yourself?”
—
or, Marl comes up with a plan, the Hatchling is undeterred, and Hal realizes consequences exist sooner than the others.

relatable: we woke up in an alternate dimension and need to know ASAP if the world is going to end again by burningbasil
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
19 May 2023
Summary
A series of papers, emails, writings, and the like detailing the experiences of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood in a new, unfamiliar world... that is oddly familiar in some parts. Plus, navigating the relationship that was formed from spending the past who-knows-how-long of your lives living in an apocalyptic, fearful hell-scape, and discovering how to live your new lives as normally as possible. Something nefarious brews in the background of their idiotic fumbling that may prove to be a way out—or the end of the world. Again.

Summary
Cole was about to speak and encourage him to talk more, but he feels arms wrapping — and a tail curling — around his shorter body, and he exhales breathily in shock.
For the first time, since he’s come into the monastery, Wu is the one to start the hug.
It was always the other ninja; Wu doesn’t seem to be quite used to or warm to the thought of embraces.
And yet, here he was, hugging him with the strength of a dragon, keeping them warm in the winter.
-
In Ninjago Season 9, before Wu retrieves all of his memories back, he has a heart-to-heart with Cole Brookstone, his father.

Summary
The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”
Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”
“Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”
Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.
