    Summary

    “What?” Zuko asks, as Sokka continues to stare at him with mounting dread. His eyes follow Sokka’s, down toward his abdomen, where a dark stain is blossoming across his stomach far more quickly than liquid should be leaving a body.

     

    Zuko is hurt. Inspired by this fanart by hi-raethia.

    Summary

    It all started in the nether, all those years ago.

    A retired warrior, father to the most fearsome fighter in the land, a sharp-eyed leader with a dangerous spark, and a boy who could turn mountains to dust if he put his mind to it.

    Yes. They were a very odd family, indeed.

    (This work is finished. I just can’t figure out tags.)

    Summary

    “You’ll help us won’t you?” Wilbur asks.
    Techno runs a hand through his hair and thinks about what they’re trying to do. Schlatt isn’t a bad leader, but Techno has a feeling he will be. Wilbur isn’t a bad leader either, but seeing what the loss of power has done to him already… it’s not hard to imagine a fall from grace for his brother.
    On his other side, Tommy shifts. He’s so young, and already knows his way around a sword and a bow better than some adults. He doesn’t deserve this. He should be romping around the fields behind Philza’s house with his friends, not fighting for a country. He’s seen death and destruction up close.
    All this for a piece of land.
    Technoblade has never been fond of the idea of government - an overpowerful group of people making the laws of the land is never a good idea, he’s read enough books to know. And now seeing what it’s done to his family…
    But what can he do but help them?
    “I’ll help.” Techno says, even though he knows that in the end, given a choice, he would destroy L’Manberg.
    He just hopes it doesn’t come to that.

    Summary

    What was it his dad had said, blood coating his knuckles? That he brought too much trouble to the family while giving nothing in return? That he should get out and stay out?

    It was bullshit. He knew it was bullshit. Knew it in the way anger clenched his fists and quickened his breath. In the way that every now and then, money disappeared from his account with no explanation. He already paid for the Wi-Fi and the electricity, figuring that was fair since he used so much of it. He did his chores, even when the unfairness of them made him clench his jaw. So what if he got into the occasional fight?

    There was a voice in his head telling him that being beaten up wasn't a fight; he was tall for his age, but skinny and spent his free time playing video games, his chances against one person was low, never mind four. The voice sounded suspiciously like Wilbur, so he ignored it.

    It was bullshit. So he listened, and he left and he hadn't looked back once.

    Tommy is alone, injured and so, so tired. He has one destination in mind: Brighton.

    He just hopes Wilbur will be happy to see him.

    Summary

    Gavin certainly didn't expect this. Who would have thought that catching two people going at it would lead him to where he was now? Staring down his emotions in that same bathroom as his world began to crumble around him.
