    Summary

    After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.

    Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.

    Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)

    Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.

    Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

    Summary

    He couldn’t speak — hadn’t, anyway, in… months, years, he wasn’t sure. He knew how to make the words, what they meant, but instinct entirely overruled him every time he tried to reach for them. Other people close enough to talk to meant danger, a kind of danger his body, high-strung and restless from living on the road, couldn’t bear. He had been alone too long to suppress the urge, to try and sneak or hide or pass himself off as somebody’s pup. Unbidden, he heard himself growling all the time now: the low, discontent rumble of hunger or discomfort, the hackles-raised rising warning of leave me alone, fuck off, and the all-out teeth-bared snarl of don’t touch me, get off, let me go!


    Felix is a feral pup, used to living wild. But when he's caught stealing and given away to a strange pack, he has to try and learn to accept comfort, to trust that not all alphas are a threat.

    Summary

    A captive mage to cruel hunters, Jaime has spent years hoping a werewolf pack would break through his wards, freeing the wolves and ending Eskender's quest for gold and blood.

    As a child, he'd dreamed they'd see his pain and be merciful enough to set him free, too.

    When wolves finally find them years later, Jaime only dares to ask for a quick death. He should have known he wouldn't be so lucky.

    Meanwhile, Dimitri and Hearthstone pack are grappling with the loss of their friends and resent their Alpha's choice to keep the hunters' mage and put him to use instead of kill him.

    As time goes on, Jaime's kind nature begins to win the wolves over—but none of them are out of the woods yet.

    Summary

    "He's just like-"
    “Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
    “Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
    “That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
    __________________________
    In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.

    AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.
