    Summary

    "Kiss the person to your left or take a shot."

    Everyone seemed to be watching Megumi's dazed expression as he contemplated what he was going to do. Yuuji's heart was racing in his chest, due to the fact he was the one sitting to Megumi's left.

    Megumi swallowed down the lump that formed in his throat, sitting up on his knees and cupping Yuuji's face, tilting his head to the side so that he could seamlessly slot their lips together.

    Summary

    "Can you at least explain how we ended up in the Fire Nation after the war? Or why I’m teaching some kid to throw a boomerang? Or why Zuko was holding my hand?" That last one tastes sour in his mouth. He’s about to fire off a few more, but Katara stops him. 

    “No, Sokka. That’s what I’m saying. That’s exactly what we can’t do.” 

    “Well why don’t you just waterbend heal me? Swish swash, two minutes, all better!” he proposes. 

    “Sokka, I just told you we can’t rush this. Do you want me to mess up your head?” 

    “Well you’ve never had any problem hitting me in the head with water before now!"

     

    After waking up from a training accident with no memory of the past seven years, Sokka is desperate for answers. But any wrongly triggered memory could risk permanent brain injury. No one will answer his questions about his new life. No one will talk about whatever weird thing is going on between him and Zuko.

    Luckily Sokka is the greatest detective and most brilliant mind of his generation (according to himself).

    Five times Detective Sokka discovers something he didn't expect plus one time he puts it all together.

    Summary

    Zuko scoffed. “As always, I am the author of my own unhappiness.”

    Sokka hummed. “Years ago, when it was just us travelling together, we came across this fortune teller. I didn’t believe any of that mumbo-jumbo. But then she said that my life would be full of struggle and anguish, most of it self-inflicted.”

    It suited Zuko’s life extraordinarily well, he felt. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m the only person in the Fire Nation who has a vision of what it takes for this country to get better.”

    Sokka turned to face him, but Zuko looked resolutely forwards. “That can’t be true.”

    Zuko turns twenty-five. In spite of his best efforts, the Fire Nation seems to lurch from crisis to crisis. The firebenders have lost their flame, and the situation with the former colonies is only worsening. All the while, he's ill, lonely, and consumed by work.

    And on the other side of the country, Sokka has just moved in with one Master Piandao.

    Summary

    He hears the distant creak of the basement stairs. And then the door, and the cautious footsteps that follow. And he turns over his shoulder, water cup still in hand, to find exactly who he knew he would find.

    Mike Wheeler, standing in the shadows of his own home like he doesn’t belong there.

    Instantly, that familiar pain reappears, shooting right to Will’s sternum as he’s pinned under Mike’s piercing stare. Half-hearted concern, and confusion, and care, all shining from those dark, soulful eyes. “Hey,” Mike says, tentatively.

    Will thinks about walking away. Strongly considers it, in fact. But his momentary indecision has frozen him in place, and. Well. He’s never been especially good at ignoring Mike. And after the day they’ve had…

    Will bites back as much bitterness as he can. (Which, it turns out, is not very much at all.) “Hey.”
