Summary
Zuko is just trying to survive Boiling Rock prison. He didn't make it out on time on the Day of Black Sun and frankly, he's lucky to be alive. His escape attempts have proven futile and he doesn't have any allies to speak of here. His best bet is keeping his head down and trying to survive.
Sokka is just here to break his dad out. It's his fault his dad was captured and he needs to fix this. His plan is working well enough so far; he's made it here, he's disguised as a guard, no one suspects him, now he just has to find his dad and get out.
Blue eyes meet gold. A flash of recognition. Shit just got a whole lot more complicated.

If So Others May Live [Indefinite Hiatus] by camsnotfunny
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
22 Sep 2024
Summary
Zuko takes a different path after his attempt to capture Aang at Wolf’s Cove.
In “Honorable” Zuko travels the Earth Kingdom, meeting people who teach him the true meaning of honor. Eventually he finds himself heading north and through a series of events ends up traveling alongside Sokka for the remainder of this story. [Edit Complete: March 26th, 2025]
In “Forgivable” Zuko wrestles with his past, and how his new closeness with Sokka brings forth old wounds. Uncertain of his worthiness to be forgiven he must slowly come to understand that it is not he who can make the choice but those he’s hurt. Further more he has to come to understand that he does not have to give forgiveness to those who have hurt him. [Edit Complete: March 30th, 2025]
"Lovable" in which Zuko learns what love truly is, through not only he and Sokka navigating what their relationship is and will be after everything they've been through, but also through the relationships he forms with those he chooses to call family. Relationships aren't their only concern as planning for the Day of Black Sun is in full force, in the hopes that they can end this war before Sozin's Comet comes. [Hiatus]

Summary
Okay, so not only is Steve Harrington apparently not a douche, but he’s also kind of a mess?
Now that Eddie is properly looking, he notices the slight bags under Steve’s eyes and how his face is drawn, as if he hasn’t been getting enough sleep. That doesn’t make sense– Eddie would think that Steve is living a cushy life, with his mansion and parents that probably pamper him like a goddamned baby. This Steve doesn’t look pampered at all; instead, Eddie can see a familiar haunted look in his eyes that screams he’s just like you.
••• ••• •••
If you looked up the definition of "fucked-up" in the dictionary, Steve Harrington's face would be plastered right next to it. After living through two Upside-Down debacles now, it makes sense. Eddie Munson doesn't know about that, but he does notice how similar he and the former King of Hawkins High really are.
(Set after Season 2)

Summary
Originally a standalone fic, the first installment has now spawned a trilogy because I've lost control of my life! Part 1 is a season 4 era slow burn; parts 2 and 3 explore AU versions of s5 and s6, respectively, where spuffy are in an established relationship throughout.
Parts 2 and 3 are planned/mostly written! Other fics in this universe, including missing scenes, bonus content, and possibly an AU s7 (but don't hold me to it) may be to come.

Summary
Spike is still beneath her, so hard he's vibrating, and a second ago she was living in this amazing, perfect, fresh piece of Dubble Bubble bubblegum world. A second ago, she loved him.
Or: The thing about Willow's will-be-done spell is that, yeah, obviously it sucks that it happened with Spike. But now that all those totally fake lovey-dovey feelings are gone, Buffy is starting to worry that she'll never get them back—with anyone. Too bad the only person who might understand is her mortal enemy.

Summary
“Do you always act so self-sacrificial? Or are you just trying to impress Wheeler?”
Steve snorted, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re the one with demobat venom running through his bloodstream.”
That made Eddie’s smile fade as he looked at him with concern. All jovial teasing gone.
Steve noticed the change and turned his head to look at him. He swallowed thickly as he took note of the way Eddie’s jaw was clenched…and how soft his dark eyes had become.
Then he noticed how close their damn faces were.
or
Steve Harrington is having a really, REALLY bad time after getting mauled by those demobats.

Summary
Getting used to Heaven is something of a marvel. It ain't perfect, and Dean thinks he'd hate it if it was, which is probably why it isn't.
~~~
"You don't understand," Dean whispers, exhaling shakily. "I know you don't, because even I don't. The instant you were gone, I wanted you back. Cas, I wanted you back. I wanted—I wanted—"
Cas stares at him, searching his face. After a moment, his own face falls slack, eyes widening just so. "Oh," he breathes out.
Dean wants to be furious that Cas has figured it out before he has—whatever it is—but he's not even that surprised. Cas knows him too well, always has, even more than Dean knows himself. He's been kicking Dean in the goddamn teeth with how deeply he understands him, even about the things Dean doesn't, ever since they first met. You don't think you deserve to be saved, that's what Cas had said. All bundled up in impossibilities and power, this being that looked at Dean Winchester and knew every single inch of him, as if he had a right to each part.
"What?" Dean grits out.
"I love you, too."

Summary
They should’ve come for us already.
I’m scared to even hope that maybe Snow canceled the Games. Or at the very least postponed them.
According to the clock, it’s eleven in the morning when the door to my room finally opens.
Effie comes in, her eyes filled with tears.
I sit up. “What happened?”
She looks between me and Peeta. With her voice shaking, she says, “There was an accident…well, no, it wasn’t an accident…District Twelve…it’s all gone.”

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

"Steve, I need to know if you're ok.” Flo tried. Hopper was already running out, Callahan and Powell on his heels. Shock settled over Flo as she continued to call Steve’s name. She rather hysterically thought that Hopper could move pretty fast for a big guy.

Summary
He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.
Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.
Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.
She turns the keys.
"Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"
"Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.
-------------------
After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

Summary
“I don’t know what you want me to say, Guillermo!” Nandor fumed. There was something desperate in his tone.
“I want you to tell me why you’ve been acting so weird lately!” Guillermo shot back. “Why do you constantly switch between wanting to be my friend and wanting me dead? And why do you keep making me responsible for your happiness?”
Nandor went quiet, averting his eyes to the carpet and choosing his next words carefully. “I talked to the Djinn,” he finally said, as if that explained anything.
---------
After the events of the night market, Guillermo and Nandor talk and perhaps do a bit more...

Peter has always liked Stiles. From his snarky mouth to his clever mind to his willingness to do anything - anything at all - to protect what Stiles considered his. Which was why, when everyone else was running around doubting that he was the Nogitsune, Peter was doing his homework.
Little did he know, Stiles was doing his as well.
A Stiles-leaves/is sent away a/u from S3E22 wherein the Sheriff only wants what is best for his kid, Phil Coulson is an uncle, and Stiles is more prepared and less naive than anyone ever gave him credit for.
