    Summary

    The last body’s hands were slimmer. A little more…delicate. These are sturdier, not quite fitting in the gloves the way the last ones did.

    “Might I walk you home?” Bolaire asks softly.

    (Or, everyone is reeling in light of the attack on the Palazzo Davinos. As the Seekers take their leave and the Schemers plot their next move, Bolaire experiences the mortifying ordeal of having feelings, a body...and feelings about your body.)

    Summary

    Zuko doesn't know what would have happened if he'd stayed. Maybe his father would have humiliated him further maybe he would have changed his mind (unlikely), but whatever choice he would have made Zuko made it for him. A person can only take so much before they break after all and waking up alone and in pain was the final straw for the 13 year old boy. He's lucky he ended up where he did.
    3 years after the Agni Kai that left him blind and deaf on the left side of his face Zuko lives as the adopted nephew of a small town's healer. The villagers have long stopped caring about the fire dancing over his finger tips since he's proved he only uses it to brew their medicine.
    Lee has no desire to be dragged back into his father's war, but what can he do when he's the only firebender in the Earth Kingdom that the avatar he was once tasked with hunting down can hope to learn from?

    Summary

    A light frost covered the surface except where Damian had pressed his glove to the glass and wiped it away, taking all of Damian’s thoughts away with it, his mind emptying as his view cleared.

    Jonathan.

    Damian shakes his head, closes his eyes, forces himself to not rip his domino from his skin to check once more if what is in front of him is real. It can’t be real. It can’t.

    Damian opens his eyes and it’s still him. Still Jonathan. Except he is not the Jonathan Damian saw last, laughing in the sunlight at a tailgate party, his arm wrapped around his long term boyfriend Jay. That Jonathan was four years older than Damian, on the cusp of graduating with a degree whereas Damian would only be starting his first.

    Except there is a Jonathan in the case in front of him, looking two years younger than Damian, his hair still as curly and unruly as Damian can remember it being when Jonathan was eleven and following Damian around making promises of forever.

    A mission goes awry when Damian finds a second, younger Jonathan Kent and rescues him, bringing both the Kent and Wayne families together as they attempt to cope with this new development.

    Summary

    Death was not a new concept to Damian Wayne. Not when he died. Over and over and over. Not when the Lazarus Pit flowed beneath his skin. Death wasn't something Damian was worried about .Not when he couldn't die. But holding secrets from his family, who paint him as reckless and too abrasive, is bound to pile up till it explodes. And of course, it starts and ends with Damian dying. Oh, and Jon's there too. Damian blames the start of his unraveling as Jonathan's fault. But, to be fair, its really not as bad as it seems. For Damian at least.

    Summary

    Damian Wayne died tonight. Or the Wayne in him did. Murdered by Mr. Wayne himself.

    Damian stood at the edge of the high-rise building. In one hand he held the ‘R’ ripped off from his Robin suit. In the other hand, he held the new mask his mother had gifted him. He had asked for a new suit, all black kevlar and a black mask.
    Damian let the ‘R’ slip from his fingers, a final goodbye. He slipped his mask on and began his patrol, out of the Bats’ sight. Gotham’s criminals learned of a new terror that night. He never killed, but he made you wish he had.

    Summary

    Slade Wilson corrects what he sees as a grievous error of the universe, and still isn't allowed to keep a bird.

    Dick wasn't prepared to have a new brother today, but when the universe hands you one, you definitely don't give it back to the League of Assassins.

    Summary

    'Damian was aware he had a father. At least, in sense that most children have fathers. It had never really seemed to matter much. His mother was everything in a way most people could only hope to half measure to. She seemed to trail an aura about her person like colourful silks in the breeze.

     

    Sometimes, when she returned from wherever she went, she would sit with him in the evenings and make him chai and let him run a brush through her long shiny hair.

    Even more occasionally she would mention his father: never a name only a silhouette of a man. Like a fairy story or a shadow puppet show.'

     

    No Capes AU, Damian gets sent to live with his father and has a hard time adjusting to his new family and accepting the way he was raised may not have been okay

    Summary

    When Team Avatar reaches an Earth Kingdom village which is being attacked on a nightly basis by a monstrous spirit, they meet a mysterious young man with ring of blue around his golden iris, who seems to know more about spirits than he lets on.

    Aang, as the bridge between the physical world and the Spirit World, invites this spirit-expert, Lee, to travel with him in order to learn about it, not knowing there is more to this stranger than meets the eye.

    Summary

    “Sokka,” Fire Lord Zuko speaks up. “Are you done talking to them? Because if so-”

    “Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”

    “Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”

    Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.

    The war has ended. Ozai has been defeated. All that is left is to crown Iroh Fire Lord. However, it seems the Fire Sages have already crowned a new leader, one far more sinister than Sokka had first thought.

    All hail Fire Lord Zuko, trained assassin and winner of the political coup to take control of the Fire Nation.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.

    Summary

    “Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”

    Oh.

    Well shit.

    (Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

    Summary

    [“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”

    Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.

    “Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”

    “No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]

    OR

    Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
    Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does.
